You seem to think you can buy QCOM for a price reflecting past earnings. No you can't you silly. You have to pay for future earnings. And when paying for future earnings today. One must assume the risk of running into a few "potholes" on the way there! Potholes that can be placed there by companies and regulatory bodies that may not have the companies shareholders "best interest" in mind! That WDMA pothole is mighty deep! PCSTEL

<<You seem to think you can buy QCOM for a price reflecting past earnings. No you can't you silly. You have to pay for future earnings>> Maurice, you said it! I also do not mind a thoughtful debate with someone who disagrees with me. It challenges my assumptions, and with the amount of money I have at stake in Qualcomm, I welcome opinions that may get me to see differently. Then there are those who bring up a lot drivel without substance. Seems like Huey's most recent post falls into this category. If this is the only type of arguement they can propose against an investment in Qualcomm, then I feel pretty good. Great response. Steve

Maurice, you seem to have real difficulty staying on topic. Talk about attention defecit disorder. Thanks for the lesson on valuing QCOM, but I don't think QCOM's valuation was the discussion. Here is the issue: do you have a clue what the take by those three top executives in stock option compensation is, as defined by the difference between market and strike price at time of exercise, or was your assertion that I've had an eye on the vast wealth earned by those who invented QUALCOMM, paid in stock options, to ensure that they weren't taking so much that the shareholders would earn little just another one of those little exaggerations that indavertently found its way in to your post? Regards, Huey
