This is precisely why I too bailed out after many years of holding the stock.

Kramer's web site made note that Q's buyout of IDCI make sense. RMBS may be taken over by a like of Q. So, if one of above happens, will be it DOA for sure?

That's a reasonable idea: <1) Never buy/own a lawsuit >

If others follow the same philosophy, then there aren't any buyers.

Before the lawsuits, QCOM was at $53 a share. Now, it's many $billions below that, at $36 a share, $61bn market capitalisation, despite rapidly increasing profits, revenues, cash on hand, and growing markets.

So the lawsuits are heavily built into the share price. $30 bn of downside so far from the May 2006 level. That's a LOT of lawsuit.

The likely damage so far seems to be around $3bn. But we don't have Nokia sorted out yet, or the Eurocrats. $30bn is a lot of fear built into the price for those contingencies.
