Accelerated buyback
Started near $70. May never hit that level again. As with the trendy activist/debt buybacks, borrow cheap, buy high, print RSUs low. Isn't it grand when companies buy back shares AT ANY PRICE to juice EPS. Good thing those shares aren't counted as... — read more

Why is HR give so much importance in big companies ? In startups they give a rat-ass to HR Manager.

After Samsung, Xiaomi is moving to build its own processor and it will have a profound impact on Qualcomm
