QCOM Earlier note today
07:34 ET QCOM Qualcomm may face long-term challenge from Samsung chip initiative - Merrill (35.95)
Merrill Lynch believes that Samsung's and NOK's new internally-developed chips are a clear negative for QCOM, as they loosen QCOM's grip over the CDMA chip manufacturing industry; while firm believes that the near-term risk for QCOM is minimal, over the longer-term if Samsung decides to completely halt its chip purchases from QCOM, QCOM's revs would decline by 19.2%; firm is also concerned that other co's could potentially follow this path of internal chip production.

No, if I get a chance at an exit on the next ramp I'll exit, if not my doubling is under $33. In edit and now took the discount on ELX back in here at $21.01

Scary, and there may be follow through selling tomorrow as well. Actually it bounced off at 33.81(g)! I think Zeev's suggestion of waiting for an extra buck below this level, at about 32.50-32.75, sounds better to me at the moment. Watching and waiting!
