Mo, What up? Did you have a Happy Holiday Weekend? I went to Vegas, and it was a Long Ride Home.

Regards,

Hi M:

How are things to the West? Was out your way, sort of...Tokyo...that is a few weeks back....

>Ye 'Ol Gary Walker

Wait a minute friend, I'm not THAT old!

Been dabbling in Q the last few months, day trading. Don't have any top choices! Already out of BAMM and ONSL. Got one year+ of returns in a matter of days. So why get greedy. The internet plays have been occupying my investment mind lately. It's nuts.

As for Q, I do like the earnings momentum in the face of the Global slowdown. Remember when the Asia fallout just crushed Q's price? Management of Q seems to better manage expectations. Also, the recent awards for top cell phone shows that they have a great product.

I don't like the increased competition and the Euro standards fight, but looks like Q has some high level friends. Loral satelite launch problems cause some concern.

Neutral, the MSFT QCOM partnership makes me nervous. The way MSFT treated REAL gives me some gas.

Currently out of Q, looking for more momentum, or mindless selling (lower price). While the focus of investors is on the internet, companies like Q will drift along fairly steady until some big news event props or drops the company. I'll bet that the news prop Q.

Nice to hear from you,

Regards,

gw
