Your theory re Ericy buying Qcom shares at depressed price would make complete sense, except that Ericy would have to file SEC report (Form 13D) when its ownership gets to only 5% of the shares. It would then have to mount a hostile tender offer. To do so would subject it to tremendous questioning as to its motives and the validity of its 3G position.

Gregg, I Agree> To: DaveMG (19936 ) From: michael piturro Thursday, Dec 17 1998 4:01PM ET Reply # of 19990 My Theory, Has anyone watched the current events with Qualcomm and established this remote but possible theory. 1. Marc Cabi slamming Q at any opportunity, to bring shareholder disatisfaction and price fluctuations. 2. While Ericy in the backround buying shares at depressed levels, to create a position in the Q. 3. In my opinion, Ericy is running out of time. Time is money and as far as I am aware of, Ericy played all its cards, but the above scenerio is their only viable move left. Now it will be up to the Q and shareholders to determine the future if the above is realized. All comments welcomed, Regards, Michael
