BTW, RoamAD seems to be doing okay with Wi-Fi and is thinking that China [other than Taiwan] might like to buy some too. computerworld.co.nz < “It’s very similar to the FCC process in the United States that we’ve already went through. It’s a huge opportunity for a gateway into China. We’re doing a lot of utility networks [in Taiwan] as well as the public wi-fi networks.”> China is loading up with QCOM products. This is MUCH better than war, though it's not as exciting on TV. See how CDMA brings peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love? Mqurice

QCOM year end should be $70 [no splits or reverse splits, with the usual dividends and stock buy-backs]. <what do you figure the 2009 year-end qcom would be? > People will realize after another couple of quarters that mobile cyberspace total demand is not significantly affected by the financial carnage. They will see the burgeoning QCOM profits and want a piece of the action because the high dividends and prospect of a lot more will be much more alluring than Big Ben's derisory payments to savers of US$ which are currently at UnHappy Meal levels. Decades ago, the USA car industry seemed like a law of nature to me, like gravity. Now, QCOM can buy a bunch of them out of petty cash, without bothering to approach a bank for a loan [let along Big Ben's discount window]. QCOM and mobile cyberspace are a law of nature - literally, being the fifth force of the apocalypse = gravity, strong and weak forces, electromagnetic force and the observation/consciousness essential to bring the other 4 forces into existence. There are eyes, ears, magnetic field detectors [in some animals if not people], touch sensors, taste/smell, speech. Mobile cyberspace does nothing less than extend those senses to anywhere where a transducer/camera/radiation detector/microphone/sniffer etc can be installed. For somebody to be a fully functioning human, they need to have their senses and output connected to everywhere else. That means they need QCOM. People don't need holidays in Hawaii or Boracay when they can holiday in Bognor Regis, Long Beach [California], or stay home and do calisthenics to keep warm. But they do need mobile cyberspace. Some people think they don't but that's because they are still living in the past. Interesting: < the ranks of the ordained side has thinnned noticeably in the past 12 weeks. from the back wall of the clubhouse can peek into the back garden of a residential complex and see 7 out of its perhaps 20 lowrise units. all seven are empty, former residents vaporized. also in neighborhood, the must-sellers of high end units next to the pla army base is asking for sars-level distress prices.> I was shopping for a 3 bedroom penthouse apartment near Beijing station in an upmarket area a few years ago but didn't think of Hong Kong. Maybe it's time to go shopping there and maybe it would be better than Beijing as a part time hang-out. Better cyberspace connections for example - is your freedom as great as in Beijing for cyberspace links or do they ban you seeing BBC etc? You claim you have lots of freedom in Hong Kong. Do you have a link to some cheap apartments/houses handy to ocean in the area? QCOM in US$ down 6% for 2008 and in NZ$ [my grocery money] way up due to NZ$ down from 83 to 53 [as advised it would be and I hope you profited from my advice]. Mqurice

That's an interesting hypothesis: <cski - several issues (i) it has four letters for its symbol (ii) two digits for its price, and (iii) the word 'china' in its name avoid at all cost. > A few years ago I became interested in CNTF aka China Techfaith Wireless Communication Technology Ltd because they have a few thousand engineers designing cellphones/cyberphones. But I didn't buy because when digging into it, there seemed to be too many alarm bells. Now it is way down. It has 4 letters in its symbol, 3 digits in its price if cents are counted and it's all China with China in its name. I have avoided it at any cost. Unfortunately, QCOM management backed it at much higher share price. QCOM is not such a hallowed institution as in the good old days. It's more of a journeyman these days. Mqurice

Having imported US$ to NZ, I shall investigate local sources of gold and platinum to see if they are interesting. Perhaps silver would be a good line too. That was an interesting article about German inflation [not that it's news, just that it seems more germane than at any time in my life]. There is a gold and silver mine nearby at Waihi, with some Zenbu zones in the village. Perhaps I should swing by on the way to beaches [real beaches without that murk in the photo of your local beach], cerf cyberspace for local gold and silver, go shopping, filling the boot. Martha mine no doubt needs the money for stocking up on fuel and explosives, processing chemicals and trucks. Over the decades I have enjoyed peering into that enormous hole. They need some reward. It's like Cheops pyramid, but upside down. In decades to come, it could be turned into a huge subterranean building. It would only need a few supports and beams. It could be quite a nice shelter from incoming bolides, tsunamis, Taupo and other volcanic eruptions, defence against insurrection, nuclear war, storms [not that we get many of consequence] and it would be a valuable construction with the construction work mostly done, profitably, in the excavation of gold and silver. With huge rock walls to act as buttresses [a luxury other buildings lack - they have to be self-supporting] some architectural beauty could be created. Think huge arches. Not many buildings are largely built profitably with the building being a side product of another activity. Hmmm, perhaps I should buy Newmont Mining [NEM] stock as well as gold/silver/platinum. Waihi is a very nice town, the gateway to the Bay of Plenty. It could do with such a development. Maybe Waihi would be a good town for me to establish a mint. Zenbu Money Ltd.... seems a nice name to produce some prototype Qi using Aztec principles. Mqurice
