Buy Qualcomm stock

Intel unseats Qualcomm
I said this years ago when Intel finally started to make it obvious they wanted to get into mobile: it's only a matter of time before Intel unseats Qualcomm. The beginning is here with Qualcomm wobbling, and Intel steadying. They lost their lead to... — read more

What to do?
What can Qualcomm really do in this dynamic post-era of monopoly and expired licenses? Qualcomm has started losing its territory /dominance in wireless for the known reasons and we all know this is just a beginning. Now, the question is what it can... — read more

QC has more managers per employee than most orgs -- directors, snr directors, vps, senior vps, principal x engineering/product management/business. Qualcomm has a rectangular hierarchy than a pyramid. There are about 12000 engineer, snr engineer... — read more
Drop in Quality
This might be just me, but here it goes anyway... Do you have a feeling that our overall quality has been dropping lately. Not sure what it is but I just have feeling that either we've gotten sloppier, or that there is less hands on oversight or... — read more

Why stay in QC?
If Americans in QC are so stupid and hate H1B with vengeance, why do you want to stay in QC? I would take a hike any chance I get. This country has its rocky history with new foreigners and so take the first flight out of America is the best bet.

Acquisitions and then layoffs???
How is it that Qualcomm makes poor acquisitions for 100's and thousands of millions of dollars and then has to layoff employees while giving bonuses for executives? Two and a half billion for CSR? What do they have to offer again???
Employees are getting played
Do you realize that QC is playing a game with you. It's intended to make it cheaper to layoff folks by "warning" the folks they consider lower performers so they will leave before QC has to give them a severance package. This is a sick game that only... — read more
