Anyone buying here? I've never bought yet. Is Samsung dropping them not a big deal?

I bought some last month and would buy more if I had some dry powder ready in that account.

Traders are thinking that Qualcomm is all about smartphones...yes, it was for the last decade. While I think smartphones will still be a big part of the company in the next few years, theres a lot more to technological innovation than just smartphones. I have captured my thoughts in this post.

I have a full position already and I'm happy to have the dividends automatically reinvested.

The biggest winner of Mobile World Congress 2016 wasn't a phone or a phone manufacturer, but a phone chip manufacturer: Qualcomm. Having endured a rough time in 2015 due to heat and power issues with its Snapdragon 810 flagship-class processor, the American chipmaker has returned to form with its new Snapdragon 820 generation. Practically every smartphone manufacturer in attendance at MWC had a Snapdragon-powered device to show off to the world.

That new processor is winning a lot of accolades lately. Will be interesting to see how Qualcomm will win businesses back.

Thanks for sharing

Who buys?

I'm likely jumping in. Too good to pass.

If only MSFT would go on a sale like this as well.

The joys of investing in industries like tech/pharma!

I recently bought some more so I won't be adding on the dip, but it does look like a nice opportunity.
