Jeffrey, many on this site have seen QCOM go through many law suits, competitions, and development. In reviewing the Valueline information we see that they have QCOM, "These shares are timely," "QCOM diversified materials sourcing makes it doubtful that Japan's disaster will cause constraints. Although ASP declines will likely keep a lid on margins, volumes ought to expand with smartphone proliferation, March 25, 2011." They have a projected price range from a low of $65 to a high of $90." This projection is based on a fundamental analysis of the Stock. As a technological analysis, according to Dorsey Wright QCOM has a price range from $65 calculating using the horizontal method and $114 using the vertical method of calculation. It appears that QCOM is following the market which had a high of 68 Percentile on the bell shaped statistical curve for DW's 40 sectors in January 2011. As of yesterday, Tuesday, May 24, 2011, the DW percentile had dropped to 55%. Comparing with June and July '10 the Bell shaped curve was at 40%. It is interesting to note that the Telephone Sector which QCOM is a part of has an equal 55.6 percentile of the stocks in its sector as compared with the rest of the market. I state the above to note that QCOM is holding up very well compared with the total market, and the sector that it is in especially when we have been appraised that the smart phone peak with LTE will be reached in 2015. How many stocks have moved up from its lows during the last year with the potential future which the telephone sector has with LTE. So lets not count out QCOM when compared with the market and its potential gain using a fundamental and technical analysis approach.
