>>Perhaps the USA could try some swaggering bellicosity back in the USA where all is not capitalist peace, light and harmony.<< <By which you mean what? > CB, I should not expect any ability by my adoring readers to read between the lines and understand meaning behind or even included in words. I mean Governor Gray and his buddies caused, through an absurd "deregulation" of electricity supplies, a huge shortage causing much disruption in California. I mean steel tariffs to protect USA businesses. I mean farm subsidies. These are not capitalist, free enterprise, free trade, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ideals. Actually, QUALCOMM has done as well as I expected back in the mid to late 1990s, though I am disappointed that CDMA has taken as long to usurp GSM as it has.

I almost sold because it had gone beyond sensible, but decided to ride it through the valley as the collapse of the dot.coms and irrational exuberance was removed. I have local tax reasons for holding through the valleys [though I didn't expect such a large sell-off - though with the delayed adoption of CDMA it's not surprising]. Mq
