Golf, "What does 1938 have to do with the Q.

It has something to do with Hedy Lamarr.

You will have to forgive me for I thought the "peace in our time" quote would be obvious to all. The point being that to think it is possible to appease an enemy in order to secure peace is foolish as 1939 made evident. You secure the peace by winning the war and not appeasing someone who although they professes resonableness in reality has no interest in peace. "United we stand divided we fall" has meaning for a reason and is as important as it was then as it is now. QCT and QTL by being combined allow the company to influence the future path of the technology to a degree that would not be possible to a stand alone licensing company. It is this degree of influence that our adversary abhors and to split the company only creates a false dawn, rewards bad behavior, and postpones the ultimate battle. If you still don't understand what I mean then I suggest you research the year 1938 with key words England and Germany as a starting point. After all it was only a piece of paper; the kind contractsare put on right?

"Don't fall in love with the stock. It is a vehicle to make money."

Wow, those are sound words that I've never heard before. That's it I'm convinced and will now divorce myself of my childish infatuation and sell first thing......

Yeah right I am, I have a nice gain so far since I average somewhere in the low twenties. That being said I accept I could have made more of a gain had I sold a year ago and added to my TPC purchase but since I made money there too why should I quibble over what could have been when both have been good to me.

I don't worry and am happy, are you?
