QCOM has been under assault ever since I bot in in 1999; rates of div increases tend to go in cycles as does business in cyclical industries. Is this an opportunity or a looming disaster? I can't look at any sector in which there are not some potential threats to traditional business models. When I first bought it, it paid no dividend, its technology was considered voodoo science and they had to dethrone entrenched standards adopted across most countries. Not a stock for the faint of heart or risk averse.... the lawsuits never seem to end

Interesting and yet QCOM short interest has continued to declined the last 4-5 months. I'm willing to sit tight, we hit strong resistance above 57 which wasn't unexpected. So far it's accomplished what I had hoped. +7.44% cap gain plus 4% divy yield= above my 10% annual combined target goal.Not looking for home runs. I'm waiting for the FTC board appointments to be filled(with republicans) and the FTC suit to be tossed soon there after. It will be interesting to see how that possible outcome will filter down to all the other proceedings(including the ambulance chasers).
