Haven't done any digging; I figured 1. Giving my money to Harvey White to invest would be interesting and 2. I really was turned on by their $29 a month plan for unlimited local calling, thought it smacked of genius. Having QCOM as the deep pockets was a plus too. ps (ANYONE)- I assume (because the spin-off was a taxable event) that the holding period (for long term cap gains) begins as of the spin-off date, it's not linked to the date of my QCOM purchase, right?

My scribbled notes from the Q conference call re Ericsson infrastructure sale note that Q gets $400 million for financing prior commitments, including Canbra/Brazil projects and Leap. Anybody else remember more details on this point? straight life, good for you for jumping in during the earlier weakness. Wasn't LEAP trading around 3 and change at one point? Thanks to all for the auction info. Glad to see efficient bidding. Nancy
