To Tim A. Point well taken. <<<<<<And while we get the self gratification of calling them fools for not having the foresight to see what our investment will turn into in the future, they keep counting their capital gains. After all, isn't that why most people invest; to make a reasonable return on their capital? Which leads to the subject of diversification ... .>>>>> Yes. The last sentence is key IMO. While the Q and LOR seem to be the future, others such as Nokia are now. A reminder of the old Washington Redskin slogan where the "over the hill gang" were playing - "the future is now". A mix makes sense. But the "future" will be now in 1999 for the Q and perhaps LOR if current trends hold. We will see. Chaz

Simply put, in a market where share prices are increasing rapidly, the big boys figure there remains lots of time to buy Qualcomm--meanwhile a lot of money can be made elsewhere. A good sign for this coming year is that, although Qcom was on several brokers' recommended lists for 1998, it seems to be on more lists for 1999. And, thus more folks on the street think Qcom's time is about to come for some major price appreciation.
