ditto; it may take a few years before anything really goes to the bottom line. at the time of the 1999 runup China was being touted. It's eight years later.

We have seen that scenario before. There were $billions made in the last round of China and Qualcomm waltzing around CDMA2000 licensing as first there was excited agreement, and a big price rise, followed by postponement and a big price fall, but wait, the agreement was back on for more profits for whoever were the insiders [China must have had some good inside information as they were doing the deciding on whether the agreements were a go or no-go]. But then it was off again and more short sale profits of gargantuan proportions were made. Then on again. And off. The rises and falls became smaller. After the game was depleted, the agreement was made. The chances of the current agreement going awry seem high. There are sure to be some conditions to the agreement which are bound to have hiccoughs. Some of us are a bit too jaded to get excited about such "agreements". Cash on the bottom line is more persuasive. Mqurice
