Qualcomm has some trouble on its hands, writes TechCrunch after disastrous earnings call. You don't say, TC, you don't say... Personally, I would use more alarming terms for a 40 percent drop in profits, but that's just me.

Stock has gone down about 2.28 per share per year since 2000 peak
$2.28 dividend/share .... R&V 4EVA
3 years into a 10 year Ballmerization plan of Q. Dead money for next 7 years
Good times, ahead stocks will soar higher on an eagles wing.
Just need the NXP deal to close or the Apple lawsuit to settle and then ring the cash registers again.
Very much good advice from very wise peoples
It's kind of a big mess but not unsolvable. If you are worried about job then leave. Much easier to get job while you still have one. If you are close to retirement I would wait as you are likely to receive an incentive package to retire. The business will not close but will be much smaller in the future. This is logical considering the growing number of competitors. Hope this helps.
