Chaz, << Dr J's statements at Cannes were right on the money and that the hatchet job by the Financial Times reporter was what caused a tempest in a teapot controversy. >> Dr J. chose his forum (FT). He does nothing unconsciously. He did it consciously. In ONE DAY the CEO of a S&P 500 corporation reduced the value of his corporations valuation by 20% (40% in 2 weeks from the time he departed for Europe and when he returned). That is pretty hard to do but hew he it ALL BY HIMSELF. I would like you to reconcile the fact that his comments were "right on the money" and what he did (again) to the valuation of the largest holding in my portfolio. I would like you also to reconcile the fact that his name is often proceeded by the word "controversial" ... and I would like you to explain why Qualcomm is not profitable on a pro forma basis much less a GAAP basis, I consider Dr, Irwin Mark Jacobs conduct in Europe to be inexcusable and totally detrimental to the health and welfare of Qualcomm shareholders. I expressed my opininion on this last year here and I am now doing so again. - Eric -
