>>What could possibly be more conventional than liking QCOM?<< A reasonably good measure of how much BARRON'S likes QCOM can be seen from the average number of citations for QCOM, compared with Nokia or Motorola. Over the last year, citations (in the index of companies referred to in each issue) for Nokia and Motorola each outnumber citations for QUALCOMM by a ratio of about five to one. The conventional knee jerk reaction for wireless stocks is to favor Nokia and Motorola over all others. Even Ericsson gets more references in BARRON'S than QUALCOMM. Yes, BARRON'S did have a couple of favorable comments on QCOM--at very infrequent intervals. But these articles have to be viewed along side articles that pushed competing systems and/or service providers using competing systems. It's not only BARRON'S own writers but also the analysts they interview. Art
