All, Looking at QCOM vs ERICY @ the Indy 500: The winning car, as seen in the finishing photo had "Ericcson" in small letters on its nose cone. The PCS Sprint car, in which I believe QCOM has an interest, did well but did not finish. It seems QCOM is following the PR lead of ERICY. Probably a great Idea.

Tim, I got the figures from the Yahoo graphs which include split adjustments. My figures were correct and split adjusted for the Qualcomm and Ericsson splits. The point is, the trends are much the same for Ericsson and Qualcomm. You can pick one year, two year, three year or 8 year periods for either to see spectacular investment returns. In 14 months, Qualcomm has gone from $42 to $56 which is not a bad return = about 30%. Even without dividends. You can pick periods for both when returns were great or bad. But the long run is what counts and the future. The long run at the moment sees Ericsson somewhat ahead on the strength of GSM [and their wide other interests]. But not much by a huge amount. I've always been interested in seeing what Qualcomm and CDMA can achieve in their maturity. It is still just beginning. I'm patient. I'll come back to your posts again soon Tero! Mqurice
