Re: what lights a fuse. I remember when Qualcomm traded wildly on speculation (before their first big contract) until a $2billion contract was secured with SprintPCS and another supplier, jointly. The revenue was guaranteed over several years and then suddenly the stock went flat. I think it was because once it was priced in, there was less speculation, etc. Beyond that, when the market demand became more predictable, it was less volatile.
