this is one of the most intelligent boards on S.I. More analysis has been done on this board than the analysts who have expertise in this field. Accounting issues have come to the fore. We will probably go down but from the strength and conviction of QCOM posters, it's an opportunity to average in. You know, this was bound to happen. Sooner than later. I'm LT and I'm not kidding.

Why don't they give some of that money to the stockholders to make up for the capital loss? How much would everybody get if they split it up fairly?

Good grief, look at how many buyers are flooding in to buy QUALCOMM. Already 15 million shares bought today. It's like a lolly scramble. This happened in 1996 when QUALCOMM suddenly dropped to 32 from 40 in a big drop. It never returned to 32 and many made out like bandits in the panic [by buying at the bottom]. When QUALCOMM is $60 again in a couple of months, people will kick themselves for having sold and others for having failed to grab the opportunity when it was there. That's what I see when I scatter the chicken bones and examine them for patterns. The end of the world has never yet come and I don't think we are seeing it now, though it's a lot of fun scaring ourselves into buying gold and watching the fur rise on our forearms and feeling it on the back of our necks. Life is much more prosaic these days, [911 notwithstanding], Mq edit...make that 16.5 million shares today...ooops, refresh and already 16.7 million.... big selling/big buying...no, 17 million now....[15 minutes ago, not realtime]. 17.2 [hmmm, a couple of million shares in 10 minutes]. 17.5 [note to self, get realtime streamers set up again]. Bloody hell, $35 and 18 million... BIG seller[s] 18.30 .... 18.8 I once watched Yahoo! soar to its peak and seriously thought about shorting for the first time ever. This seems like a comparable panic down. Get drink of water, go to loo, now 20.20 [vision?] 20.5 at $35.20....crikey...running out of edit time...20.8... time's up..$35 even...going down.....
