Do we have a triple witch coming up friday??
It will be inter'ting to see the Buy at close..
today. (or the Sell)
It's just been trading sideways for the last few hours.
Volume...Average
Merry Christmas Biz..
I want to cash in alittle, but I'm wondering if Q has another
5 points in it in the near term??
The resistance seems to be right around 45. But I also thought we cleared out alot of 'Hangers-on' as Q took the dive over the last few years.
We get some bottom feeders cashing out some profits from Q on the cheep and I think we could see some upside from 45.
What do you think?
Just a penney shy of 45...
Just can't seem to kick it over the top damn it.
Daddy needs a new pair of slippers.
Is the super long term cap gain rule 5 years or longer @ 12%?
So do u think ARCH wireless will...
go out of business, or eliminate the pager business and go into the cellphone business?
What will happen to the accounts they currently serve?
Will their current clients be offered cellphone services with their current pager numbers?...anyone//
I know I posted this before but I did'nt get a response.

Biz: well if you can wait..
I guess so can I.
I've waited this long...what's another year or two?
maybe I overreated, still I long for the higher highs.Nobody could have predicted the fall in 2001-2002. I'm still
I wanted to start buying up starting at 35 (per-split) but I was to chicken.
sorry ron..will comply
with all your negative responses here...
I'm begining to think this is not a very serious board, or worse...I'm sorry to say, one big Circle_ j**k.
What's with you people here?? I thought you were more thoughtful than this...And with all the personal attacks. I thought you people were against this type of behavior.
well good!you got in low...
That does me no good.
Why do you say that data?
I'm almost 5 years long.
go back and read the update to my previous message.
You should'nt be so quick to judge, unless that's your thing here.
If you're happy...goodie for you.
I'm discouraged.
As for your chart...what relevance does that have to my QCOM investment, how much I bought, or when I bought it?
Instead of bashing me, why not throw out a few ideas as to when QCOM might start paying off as an investment....'FOR ME!".
I realize anyone who bought before the big tank, and took the big slide into the abysis have a snowballs' chance to recover.
Thankfully that's not my situation, although I did buy relativly high. I'm almost out from under, but I held it down through 26.
That's real investing commitment (Stupidity) ...whatever.
So don't tell me what - azz_ hole. I like the company.
Like I said...I'm discouraged.
Got it?!
Now if you have nothing constructive to say, go back and count your own wood pile.
I've seen that before..no pop at all...
I've been in this stock long enough to know that for whatever reason, as soon as the good news is out, there's something or some one to knock it. Somehow there is always some investors out there that keeps selling out to the "good News".
QCOM is a hard luck stock. Good company!, just a real hard luck stock.
And on top of it, we now have to lift up under the weight of 1.6 billion shares of common stock.
I'm very discouraged
I'm starting to get bearish on QCOM...
The election is in the bag through two elections
Nokia's genie was put back in the bottle,
The market is going good today after the election
QCOM continues to slip... up a few cents here and there for weeks then at 44.....bam.... slapped down under 40 again.
Use to be Qcom continued up on bad news...and would tank on good news.. now it's bullet proof to either.
How's about 1.50 div per share?.. you know... for our trouble (waiting).
Jesus..what a spirol...
Pennies, Nickels, and dimes up...Dollars down.
This is not a back and fill.
I thought that with an increase in shares, this type of manipulation would go away.
Bastards!
Well maybe if the stock turns over afew time.
Still...QCOM should at this point be a more stable stock.
Interestingly thought...the losses are seemingly reversing as I speak.
Do you suppose these manipulations are designed to see how many apples shake off from the tree??(if you understand the metaphore)
QCOM is building new campus(s) in SD..
I heard about this last week. I even saw some pictures of the construction site. It's not just one but several new sites.
I hav;nt heard anyone here talk about it though.
I wonder what's up.
QCOM is trading like a crazy monkey early.
2M shares in first half hour.
QCOM and Siemens...
Siemens to use Qualcomm chips
By Kathryn Balint
STAFF WRITER-Union Tribune
October 20, 2004
Qualcomm announced yesterday that Siemens Communications, the world's fourth largest maker of cell phones, has agreed to use its chips in some of its handsets.
For San Diego-based Qualcomm, the deal is a way to gain a greater share of the European wireless market. Siemens is the second largest maker of cell phones in Europe, behind Nokia.
The phones made by Siemens using Qualcomm's chips are expected to reach consumers next year.
"For a major European handset vendor to select us and recognize the work that we've done is very satisfying," said Sanjay K. Jha, president of Qualcomm CDMA Technologies.
Siemens' new phones using Qualcomm's chips will be based on a wireless standard known as wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA).
Qualcomm dominates the chip market for code division multiple access, selling the chips for nine out of every 10 phones. But analysts say Qualcomm sells chips for only about one out every five WCDMA phones.
With the Siemens deal, Qualcomm now will sell chips to 24 cell phone manufacturers that make WCDMA phones, including LG Electronics and Samsung.
T. Michael Walkley, a senior research analyst for Piper Jaffray & Co., said in a research note that Siemens is a significant new customer for Qualcomm. "We believe this agreement should help Qualcomm gain share of the WCDMA chipset market during 2005," he said.
Analyst Albert Lin of American Technology Research said even before the Siemens deal, Qualcomm was making progress in Europe.
"They already sell to LG and Samsung, so they're making headway on a number of different fronts," Lin said.
Qualcomm not only makes money from selling WCDMA chips but, because it owns some of the patents on which WCDMA is based, it collects royalties from cell phone makers and anyone else who incorporates the technology into their products.
gOLF: I'll check it out.
Golf:So options are not only cashing out of their positions for this month..
but option contract are also bought short or long for the next month too?
oh!So today would be options expiration day...
So then this spike could just be a result of an options re-alignment post split.
Rich.Dosen't option expirations happen end of month?
Are you telling me that this pop is caused by speculators again manipulating.
I thought the split would have taken the wind out of the speculator's sails.
Do you suppose this pop is a options re-alignment post split?
BTW I forgot all about the options market..my bad.
I cannot find any news thats creating this pop.
Can any one else??
QCOM trades 3m shares in 50min(8:30-9:20pst)
thats 11m shares total up to this time.
wow!!
QCOM traded 2m shares in 38 min(8:30-9:08pst)..
Just before it approched 10M shares (9.8M) I saw a 100,000 share trade go through.
wowie-ka-zow-ie batman!
I wonder how that fella who thought shorting QCOM was a good bet?
Anyway I'm reporting this cause it's a good entry point a a good opportunit to hold the stock with a nice pop on the day.
When I saw the fast market, I got some more at 36.25.
Ron.QCOM just traded 1M shares in 25 min...
From 8:30pst to 8:52pst total shares= 9million.

SDSU and QUALCOMM(this is interesting)
SDSU and QUALCOMM Partner to Enhance Educational Achievement Through New Institute for Innovation and Educational Success
University Receives Record $14.5 Million Gift From QUALCOMM SAN DIEGO - PRNewswire - Aug. 10
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- San Diego State University and QUALCOMM Incorporated today announced they will form the QUALCOMM Institute for Innovation and Educational Success at San Diego State University (SDSU). The institute will be established through a gift of $14.5 million from QUALCOMM over the next four years, the largest corporate gift in the university's history.
The mission of the QUALCOMM Institute for Innovation and Educational Success is to identify and address major issues critical to the long-term prosperity of the San Diego region. The QUALCOMM Institute will support professional development for teachers, curriculum improvement and institutional transformation in schools throughout San Diego and other parts of the country. The goal is to improve the level of instruction across the educational continuum -- supporting teachers and students at K-12 schools, universities and beyond.
"QUALCOMM and SDSU are deeply committed to improving our community. This partnership represents a true collaboration, combining our strengths and resources to make a sustainable difference in our region's educational system," said Dr. Irwin Mark Jacobs, chairman and CEO of QUALCOMM. "We see education as the most powerful tool to enable success for our community, both socially and economically. Partnering with SDSU, a university with a reputation for community development and educational excellence, will ensure that these educational initiatives will have a far-reaching effect throughout San Diego County."
QUALCOMM's gift will enable the new institute to immediately focus on four key initiatives. The first three aim at developing a more tech-savvy regional workforce via enhanced math and technical education. The fourth initiative will help establish a new center focused on partnering with challenged urban school districts around the nation to improve student performance. The QUALCOMM Institute will pursue additional initiatives when other important priorities are identified and funded.
The institute's current initiatives are: * $5.5 million to expand the already successful Improving Student Achievement in Mathematics (ISAM) program administered by SDSU's College of Education. ISAM is designed to improve public school mathematics instruction by enhancing teachers' subject knowledge and instructional effectiveness. * $1.4 million to expand SDSU's involvement in Project Lead The Way. SDSU's College of Engineering runs the only Project Lead The Way program in California. Project Lead The Way trains middle school and high school teachers to implement problem-based, pre-engineering coursework into their classes and aims to increase students' interest in pursuing engineering majors in college. * $2.6 million to accelerate SDSU's recently launched Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) program across the university's entire curriculum. The goal of the interdisciplinary ICT program is to eventually equip all SDSU graduates with enhanced skills in applying advanced information technology and working in collaborative decision-making environments. * $2.4 million to help launch the National Center for Urban School Transformation (NCUST) at SDSU's College of Education. The NCUST will work to enable public schools to tackle the breadth of issues present in urban classrooms and communities. The Center will serve as a catalyst to support transformation in urban schools across the nation.
"QUALCOMM wanted to work together to find a way to make a distinct and widespread contribution to improving our region's overall quality of life. Soon it became clear that education was the first critical issue we should address," said SDSU President Stephen L. Weber. "Establishing this institute is yet another example of QUALCOMM's leadership on issues of importance to San Diego."
Enhancing math and science education has grown into a red-hot national issue in recent years as several prominent international studies have shown American students, especially in the higher grades, falling farther and farther behind their contemporaries abroad in math and science skills. Reversing the trend, said Weber, requires comprehensive and sustained approaches to implementing education reform and those are the kinds of programs the QUALCOMM Institute seeks to support.
"This will be the first of many initiatives to help our region," added Weber. "The QUALCOMM Institute will develop a new strategic plan for education in San Diego, one that broadens the traditional scope of literacy to include a much higher level of mathematical and technical skills. These skill sets are essential for San Diego to thrive and prosper, because virtually all professional fields, from business to health care to education, are becoming more dependent on mathematics and technology."
In addition, QUALCOMM is contributing $2.6 million to the President's Leadership Fund at SDSU, enabling it to invest in other programs on campus that complement the goals of the new institute.
QUALCOMM, which has already contributed more than $10 million to SDSU since the early 1990s to support a range of programs, initiated the idea of establishing a more ambitious partnership with SDSU to address regional needs.
As part of this partnership, SDSU has agreed to raise an additional $15.1 million in private support for the four key initiatives. Part of that effort will include hiring the university's first-ever "Executive-in- Residence" who, as part of his or her duties, will raise awareness of the Institute's mission and help launch a Corporate Partners Program.

IDCC is taking it up the kazoo today ha ha.
What?? No new posts today?? whatup??
Muroff: in response to...
"By 'internal marketing' I mean 2 things, saying to your staff (according to Yahoo -- all 51,359 of them) "well we screwed up, that 'evil empire' in SD isn't all bad after all" AND saying the same thing to the customers to whom you've been bad-mouthing everything QCOM for years (which according to anecdotal evidence I've heard from those in the industry STILL goes on)."
Now the problem is:
once you have taken an entrenched position for alot of years,
and then try to reverse yourself (NOK) you will wipe out any remaining credibility you think you may have. A henny-Penny outlook has given NOK the reputation it has been pushing for all along (meaning that that industry it sought to dominate is now ignoring them). NOK cannot now reverse itself, and even if it did, it would probably not do them much good anyways.
I wonder what type of deal QCOM would give NOK anyways at this point? I think NOK licensed the patent portfolio.
The Probable solution for NOK:
Their (NOK) problem is that thay can't turn the raw matrials (QCOM Patent Portfolio Licence) into gold, so the next best thing is to have QCOM deliver it to them. I would suppose you could look at it like ordering a pizza for delivery verses making it at home for yourself.
On one hand you can buy (cost/time) the raw ingredients from the Store (QCOM), take it home,(NOK) throw it together, and have something that somewhat resembles a pizza,(A CDMA Phone that may or may not work) or Just call the store (QCOM) and order the pizza (Working CDMA Chipset) from their bakery (Chip Manufactuing) department. Now when QCOM (The Store) delivers the pizza (Working CDMA Chipset) to NOK not only does it look like a pizza, but it smells and tastes like a hot delicious pizza too.
ummmm I'm getting hungry just thinking about that chipset...oops I mean pizza.
Biz:Sounds reasonable to me-eom
Biz:The more of something you have....
the less rare it becomes.
The fewer shares available to buy (trade - sell) the more unique and valuable the stock becomes.(Berkshire-Hathaway)
That's why microsoft, amoung other reasons, has to trade so heavily on a continuing basis, to get any upward momentum.
QCOM on the other hand,(at least now) is not quite so weighed down (shares outstanding) so trading on any given day can advance the stock, dollars at a time, without the need for the heavy volume.
Diluting the share pool with twice the shares (2for1) will nesessitate more momentum and heavier volume on shares traded to keep the shares rising in price.
Up to now the previous stock splits have not as of yet weighed QCOM down, but there will be a tipping point (maybe in this stock split) where the added shares will weigh down the price per share reletive to the volume necessary to move the share price upwards. In other words more volume on a sustained (daily-weekly) basis will be needed to move the stock up.
So I guess the question becomes... Is it better to have more QCOM investors in at a lower stock price and a slower stock price climb, or fewer shares available to investors and higher and quicker stock price climbs.
I heard that more shares may stabilize and somewhat insulate the stock against wild swings and short manipulation, but I'm not certain why a split now.
How does QCOM profit directly from splitting the stock aside from a larger investor base.
QCOM certainly dosen't need the money.
Maybe QCOM anticipates a large rise in share price and wants to head off wild manipulation by creating a larger pool of shares. It would be more difficult to buy up and sell off a larger share base.
Any thoughts?
I've been looking at the technicals...
on QCOM. Is it my imagination ot does it look from a technical standpoint that QCOM is on point for a 10 point push higher.
The break-out from the 60's has been sustained which was a drag on the stock.
I wonder how the technicals will transpose post-split - with the diluted shares and such.
Any thoughts?
Rich: Funny Funny stuff...

Rich..Isn't it the "Forth Estate"?
In re:...Fifth Column.
I guess the "Fifth Column" is populated with the "Forth Estate".
A real "Manchurian Candidate" .
It's getting so you don't know who the enemy is.
My advice...Get a gun, keep it close.
Do you think the institutions will dump some QCOM post split?
Thank you all - eom
