Re: sitting on a Flarion investment and waiting for the world to catch up

More than pioneering/foundational, essential, and implementation patents, the engineering talent that produced them was also acquired. Those engineers, and their progeny, are continuing to work at the vanguard of 4G, and beyond. R&D, from superlative engineers, remains the life blood of Qualcomm.

Yes, buying shares is okay, but only at the right price. Paying somebody dumping shares an extorquerationate price [which has happened a few times] is not a good idea.

It's better to use the cash to buy dirty great truckloads [not Tonka Truck amounts] when the price plunges, such as when QCOM got below $30 in the panic of 2009 [or maybe it was 2008 - I forget].

I wouldn't like it if QCOM shareholders are buying back shares, pushing the price up, when insiders are unloading their stock option acquisitions [even if the insider sales are pre-programmed or whatever they call it].
