What do u think I'm doing??
Quite a ride, but not quite where we were Thusday
I'd like to be excited about it, but it's like running in place.
UP 10%
Down 10%...
and all in less than a week.
This is not investment grade stock.
I am wondering who was doing all the buying anyways?
can you spell...manipulation??
I knew you could
Well,I guess the knee-jerk reaction the market
had on friday and monday took a little more time to work out that I had expected.
Usually that kind of news has submerged Q and keeps it there for a good long time.
If you would subtract the news of the Idiot 6 on friday which I believe QCOM on Thursday was around 46....today Q would have been approching 50.
am I wrong about that anaylisis?
Anyways...had that news on friday not come....I would have cashed out at 47-48.
I'm really interested in the upcoming England analyist meeting on the 8th.
We'll see what happens in England..
On Nov 08, when Q host an analyist meeting there.
Deep in the heart of 'injun' territory.
Maybe Q will get another pop.
Maybe Q will use the stage to stick it to the dwarfy shortsighted 6.
The dividend is a little something...
however it does not make up for the long cold lonely wait. Dose'nt even come close for the waiting period endured.
If the dividend was the end game, I would employ the dogs of the dow strategy.
I really needed Q to be an investment stock.
The entire industry, Analyists, and speculators had other ideas.
heavily invested..bought somewhat high...
I'll be well at 45, but I'll have nothing to show for it.
The rest of my QCOM investment story is too sad for words.
It may make you laugh though.
Guess everyone made their investment dollars ha!
QCOM Really starting to cool off now.
No staying power
Faber should have said'NONcompetivite Cowards"
WOW David Faber was really accomidative to Paul.
Almost like a lap dog.
It was all warm showers, and kisses
A kinder...Gentler CNBC?
Paul Jacobs Coming up right now on CNBC
The trading is fast and furious
pre open indication 1min=42.75
We'll see what happens tomorrow.
Enough good news lol..that's precious.
wooped um again huh Josey??..
Yup! wooped um again boy.
On further review I wonder what an anti-trust..
Lawsuit would actually benefit QCOM if they were so inclined to go after NOK and company.
They would be tied up in court, maybe for years and what would they get out of it or what would it prove???
More specifically, what would Q get for the money and trouble invested??
Unless, of course, Q could prove anti-trust, but that would be anti-trust in Europe.. U.S. courts have no Jurisdiction.
Trail at the WTO seems like money and effort down a rathole unless U.S. political pressure can be brought to bear.
Open and free markets are all fine, if your ox is'nt being gored.
QCOM really seems to be in a no win situation.
NO skin off of NOK nose. They light the fire laugh at the pyre.
How in the world can QCOM effectively anwser NOK and company.
NOK is diabolical!
QCOM seems dopey.
Funny Funny stuff olddog...
I knew I heard that in an Eastwood movie.
QCOM would ask Samsung and others
who are highly competive in cdma/wcdma to join an anti-trust lawsuit against NOK and company who effectivly excluded the above from competing in europe (open markets).
QCOM should push this immediatly instead of letting any european
"Pezznovante" commission to drag its feet.
I think that is a-coming because i think Q could finally be
"Fed-up" with this non-sense (assuming all is what it seems).
They say all warfare is deception.
RM:meantime -QCOM loses...again.NOK laughs...
way out loud.
But.. you're right.
I was wondering out loud why Q dos'nt approch the WTO right now.
Q is probably waiting to see exactly what the issues are before responding, however...the gang of 6 - 8 - 12 etc will always change the issues as they go along to continue to hamstring Q in the hopes that eventually something will stick..
and believe me, sooner or later they will find some judge, commissioner, potentate, or little ceaser to go along with the European huns.
There was a line in a movie once that went:
"When people are thirsty for leadership, they will run towards a mirage at full steam and drink the sand."
the reply to that was:
"People won't drink the sand cause they are thirsty for leadership...they'll drink it because they don't know the difference".
NOK and company cannot allow QCOM into Europe because the European consumers will get wise in a hurry.
It is definatly is "The Barbairians at the Gates".
Meanwhile, Q loses credibility with the average investor.
No es Bueno!
What does it take to do business in the EU?
It really helps if you're anit-semitic.
It also helps if you chant agressively and with a certain amount of religious ferver "I believe in the Kioto Protocol"
Yes!!let us please be accurate...
although I heard it the other way though.
RicH:your confidence in QCOM is underwhelming.
Q is right back where it was with Erricson except that when the gang of 6 go away, there will be another gang of 6, or 12 or 18, and there won't be a meteoric rise in Q once the EU settles this latest and greatest QCOM king of the mountain stand-off.
Q is right to buy back it's shares (if indeed it is which I doubt). That way it pays less dividends and maybe insulates the shares against further inserections.
Q will undoubtely discontinue the dividend anyways.
You probably think people bought too high at 43, 44 45. and that they are all suckers and should have known better.BUt this QCOM nonsense is exactly why the Mom and Pop investor won't go near QCOM again.
That leaves the daytraders, speculators, institutions, and manipulators.
Your attitude has always been..."The best is yet to come".
you like QCOM are the "Siren Song". Never what it seems...yet who can resist.
It's not an investment rich.
You telling other-wise is not honest at all.
I told you the downgrades are coming
and they will pile up and take QCOM below 32.
There was a line from a Clint Eastwood movie. I can't remember which one, but it is fitting here and I say it to you and QCOM..
"Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining".
You really never had any credibility regading QCOM "THe investment".
Your pretty smart with the technical side of QCOM but you can't see QCOM as the toxic investment.
As a matter of fact..there are some pretty smart people writing on this board...
just not on QCOM as an investment.
HERE come the downgrades:Merrill Lynch downgraded
QCOM shares to "neutral" from "buy." QCOM has not reacted well to this recent barrage, as the shares have given back nearly four percent so far today.
1 week change: 12.99%
1 month change: 11.74%
1 year change: 4.42%
JIm:Nice. I'm still Mulling over who...
is at the heart of all the selling though.
Your last point really drives the point home.
"Equal Access- Equal Disclosure.
I was flabergasted Last Friday when trading began and the trap door fellout from under the Q shares.
No warning whatever.
I wonder who got fat off of that one.
40M friday-40M today and all selling.
"Q" only $7 away from last year at$32.
Now thats an investment that pays...nothing.
long term hold... thats a laugh.
Thats 2 laughs up...real loud
Piper Jaffray Analyst T. Michael Walkley forgot..
to say at the end of his statement that during the years the EU will consider the anti-trust implications, QCOM shares will continue to be under pressure.
Dow up 51 Nasq up 30 "Q" down 4more%...
and will continue to drop.
Last Friday Dow up... NasQ up.....QCOM down 4more %.
I'm laughing so out loud.
Biz:YOur attitute on Q is Notorious...
if all of your past posts are any indication.
I think I pretty much nailed it on the head.
The historical trading on Q is known. Its not an investment.
If the best you can do is pick at the spelling....well enough said bout that.
You see Biz I bet you think this 'Pullback'
is an "Opportunity' to back up the truck and "load' Up on Q.
How do you square that with the suckers thaT bought and held it from 42 on up?
Do you imagine them as suckers that should have been more astude and should had sold it when the selling was good??
Maybe they should dollar cost average their way into the poorhouse.
Now there's a laugh.
Maybe investors should hold it for the next 5 more years. By then this EU "inquiry" will have blown over, and Q will have been cleared, only to have some other issue arise and the stock still has no investment traction. Just day trading and shorting.
But..live and learn
Biz:Thats it? my sellings off?..
oops..I mean Spelling.
Well mucho appriciado ol buddy.
I'll look that up in el dicionario rapidamente.
Just as soon as I get a-round-tuit.
A selling extravagaza the Q is today
I also pridicted this "Big" announcement.
Well here it is, and it did'nt take long (gang of 6 and the EU)
I also said Q would dive under 40.
That did'nt take long either.
The Mutts you keep cursing (TI NOK etc) will be the dogs that drive Q out of the picture...if for no other reason..they just don't like the "Jacobs"...if you follow my meaning.
After all, the mutts are "Europeans". Do you get it now??
You don't think this type of thing happens all the time?
Check your history!
Fair or good business, or better idea has nothing to do with it.
Funny-MOdoff dos'nt say when on $50..
Price target.
I could talk that baloney, and say Q will reach $100 (sometime in the next decade).
Whos going to remember anyways.
Now..Please enter..the Brokerage DownGrades
Q should have spun the chip division...
off when it had the chance.
QCOM is a Loser...
And a Loser will always be a Loser.
Every thing I've said about this company (investment-wise) has come true, or is about to come true.
Maybe its time for this company to go private...or offer a substantial dividend.
Cramer had a radio program...
which ended just about the time he was given that CNBC tv show spot (mad Money) about 2 years ago w He warned everyone listening to that radio show that Q was a scary stock investment, and the board of directors was even more scary. I think he called that radio segment "The Lighting Round" where the call in audience would name a stock, and Cramer would tell the called to "Buy-Sell or Hold"
He called Q a "Toxic Stock".and accused the Board of buying the debt (junk bonds) of other companies and not disclosing the debt to the Q shareholders.
Now Cramer likes Q?
Jim Cramer knows nothing.
If you want to follow some Jack*ss who's investment philosophy is "win some-lose some" go right ahead.
If you ask me, everytime Q is poised to break-out big to the upside, somethimg like what happened friday comes along to knock it down.
Q was poised to post some really nice numbers come November 2, 2005 and with the anticiatory bump or run-up to the announcment.
The 45 dollar resistance level was broken a few weeks ago meaning just about everyone who got bowled over when Q slid into the slimepit had cashed out(everyone except me and Biz)(Live and Learn), and the shorts were out too, and Q was holding at or slightly above the 45 dollar level.
This world was never about what is good or bad. Its about perception and manipulation. Otherwise, Q would take its (rightful) place The Sony Batamax would have been a historical Icon, Apple would have dominated the computing world, California would have never gone through an Enron created energy crisis, and Worldcom would be controlling all telecommuications bussiness from a secret undisclosed bunker in the Nevada Desert.
BUt it did'nt work out that way.
Evil will invariably win out over good and right.
Maybe the EU will call for Q to be split up into 4 seperate dis-associated business.
BUt like in the "Terminator" movies, the parts that were blown off the Cyborg came back together and melded back into the Whole.
yikes
JIm Cramer did a Q segment on Mad Money Friday...
He was BUllish on Q and said the investors who dumped Q on friday were all 'Cowards'.
He said (Lawsuits) happen all the time and in Q's regard, it happens all the time, but he said this is just an opportunity on this pullback, to buy more.
I say..Phuwee.
