Hi Lim. Isn't MSFT enjoying a stronger balance sheet? <2. Balance sheet second to none.>

QCOM's balance sheet is nothing special for large cap tech. My numbers show net cash makes up 12% of QCOM's share price. Just looking at a few communications companies, that 12% appears on the low side.

MOT = 19%
TLAB = 27%
SFA = 25%
CSCO = 11%

I think QCOM's cash position is average relative to peers. There are loads of tech companies with massive cash hordes.

MW- Well Ok second to msft then...

Going to need some levitation today? I wonder if institutions are going to get bored with the prospect of another dampened expectation qtr and who knows when the famed growth engine will kick in big time?

Best,
