To all - O.T. (silly) -- what does today's price action in QCOM mean ? ... San Diego Padres will win tonight (?), which would make the World Series five games or longer, which is good because the last game to be held at Qualcomm Stadium is Game # 5. (Yes, I am more interested in the free advertising QCOM gets than who wins the World Series). Jon.

Yes, but this is not so cool. I was watching CNN yesterday and something about The Padres [a Mexican footy club or something] was reported as something or other at "Jack Murphy Stadium". Not a mention of QUALCOMM stadium. Heck I thought, it isn't that easy to tell people what to call things. If they all insist that it is "Jack Murphy Stadium", I guess that is what it is. Not to worry, if there is a bit of overlap in the two names, maybe that will be better rather than worse, linking a good bloke with QUALCOMM, in a kind of unpaid endorsement. Is it still commonly called Jack Murphy Stadium in downtown USA? Also, check out this from that url you gave: ------------------------------------------------------------------- "...Today, both Yankee Stadium and QUALCOMM Stadium reflect the changes in our world, with signage from the likes of Bell Atlantic Mobile, Sprint PCS and GTE -- all customers for QUALCOMM's digital wireless phones. During televised games, crowd shots are filled with people using their wireless phones, calling friends at home or across the stadium. Fans will soon be able to use their digital phones to tap the Internet for the myriad statistics that make baseball unique, from the batting average of the hitter at the plate versus lefties to how the ''Babe'' played in the 1920s. ''When the Padres honored QUALCOMM with the throwing of the first pitch of the season, our hope was for the Padres to reach the World Series,'' said Richard Sulpizio, president of QUALCOMM. ''Now that the Series is coming to San Diego and QUALCOMM Stadium, we look forward to fans around the world seeing exciting baseball from the 'Q.''' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See, calling QUALCOMM "The Q" and base stations at the game "Babe". QUALCOMM knows that when "Babe" gets overloaded because The Padres have just hit a home run over the baseline and everyone phones home to report the drama, they are going to have to have a surefire way of maintaining space for serious callers to get through [serious meaning those who want to pay a LOT of money to Babe to handle the call]. Babe will simply display "Current Price is $15.50 per minute" on the cdma2000 display; "Please hit 'SEND' to accept these charges". I betcha The Q isn't asleep at the wheel and will be even now, preparing software for those who wish to have priority calling rights in exchange for "Babe" peak instantaneous demand p-----g. It's about time p-----g was trotted out for another circuit of the stadium. Meanwhile, The Q left its natural home in the 40s briefly! On the upside and good volume. Mqurice No white knuckles now. Yayyy for Alan Green$pan for following the script. $80 31 October 1998 [or November in an emergency]. Dow 16000 Feb 2002.
