$175 and Ericy Q! just reached $175.25 which is sort of nice. Gregg will be having a very nice time, at last. 5.3 million share selloff! Wow, people are bailing out of Q! in big numbers. I wonder why the panic. No, hang on, it's a big buyup! No, it's both! In any event, the new owners seem happy with Q! prospects at $175. Looks right now [@841] as though there is pressure building for another runup in price because trading has taken a tea break for a few minutes. My shares are for sale too, but they need to go a LOT higher yet to buy them. If the price gets to $300, I might have to start working out again what it is worth. Haven't checked for a while, but it has been up since the Ericy cave-in. Meanwhile, Ericy continues with their smokescreens and dribbling out of both sides of their mouth. They are still talking about W-CDMA as though it is something significantly different from cdma2000. The fascinating thing is that they are reported without grin marks through the text and being laughed at openly by commentators. They have separated themselves from their absurd position on chip rates and are blatantly 'leaving it to the market to decide'. Which means they didn't have any basis for it in the first place. If they had a good basis, and owned the necessary IP as they claimed in their lies and propaganda, they would have continued with their 4.0xx chip rate. They have been separated from their position, to coin a phrase, and are looking absurd. Still puffing themselves up as though they are leaders in CDMA while scrambling in at the last minute and paying heavily for their mismanagement. China is going to go cdmaOne and WWeb [whether that has tailfins with chrome or tailfins with chrome and dashes of red paint] and build out their GSM networks to cover demand over the next three years before WWeb is ready. They'll expand cdmaOne networks which already exist. Globalstar will fill in the Swiss Cheese holes and the cost of that will drop dramatically with Constellation3. This is great. Now the Q! price has dropped away. It was nice to see it touch the $175.25. Mqurice 200/2/2000 is not far away! PS Mika, don't come over all precious about stereotyping. Europe is a socialist mess. The USA is a protectionist and Big Government mess. Europeans generally like the socialist idea, which is why they vote for it. They get what they deserve. The USA votes for the right to bear arms; knives, guns, hand grenades, bazookas and whatever - so they shouldn't be surprised that they have a LOT of gunshot deaths. Stereotypes are good for deciding certain things, like whether to visit somewhere or invest there. Sure, not all Europeans are socialists, but mostly they are and it costs them all. They have to work a lot to achieve not much. Meanwhile, the USA, with a strong capitalist bent, is Big Black Holing the world's capital and sending the products of creativity and capital all over the world, which brings in more capital. I like it. New Zealand is a hopeless little socialist place, with envy of anyone who has more than a pittance. Luckily the scenery is great and the climate is pretty good.
