If it means anything I've been long for about 13 months! This is as long term as you get any more! I was thinking about dropping some money into QCOM after our recent run....but it has also had quite the run in the meantime, and will probably end up back in the 40's where it always goes! I am growing convinced that telecomm is really the place to be invested for the next 5 years. Brian

Steve - you have a good point, and I blame the media and industry analysts for the push towards short term trading. Basically for me, I'm a long termer when the stock I buy goes down and therefore I have to hold it a long time to get back to even. :-) Actually, I see no reason to sell CELL (no pun intended) in the next 12 months, unless, as you say, major trends change and cell phone growth slows dramatically. One thing that having a short term view allows oneto do is to keep up with the company and be a more informed investor. However, I agree that the analysis of intraday movements is a bit excessive unless you are really a day trader or are playing with options. JMO Grabs
