George, Had to post this.>(when I read it, I thought of you) Shorts are here in droves by: Chessen29 17026 of 17026 As soon as any stock has a big price rise the shorts race to the message boards posting doom and gloom, and telling half truths to scare the conservative investors. Most investors leave a winner much too soon because of fear of losing their gains, and the shorts play on that fear. Everyone has a cell phone in Korea, it's a status thing, and the same thing will happen in China. Look at all the kids in the USA now showing up with cell phones. Qualcom has a piece of Globalstar and has promised 100,000 phones when they go in business the end of this year. Next satellite launch 14 April. This isn't an internet stock, we have earnings already, and watch them accelerate this next year. Hold your stock and add on dips and in a couple years you will be rich and the sad shorts will still be hustling the boards with their brand of dispair. "the sky is falling, the sky is falling". "the end is near, the end is near". Things are so bad I think I'll go count my money-AGAIN!

Am I missing something, or is PS/PM just the price/earning ratio? PS = (Share Price)/(Sales per share). Profit margin = Profit/Sales = (Earnings per share) divided by (Sales per share). Therefore, PS/PM = (Share Price)divided by (Earnings per share). If my logic is correct, you are just saying that, at this price, the P/E ratio for Qualcomm is still less than Microsoft,Cisco, etc.
