Actually, just checked and DE is by far my worst sell.

Sold at $88.60 on 8/23/2016 and it is now $345.28, which would have been a gain of 292%.

lol I learnt not to do such math with closed positions

Good advice.  I've also sold some companies that went BK the next year so I try to dwell on that happy thought lol.  THIS is why we hold some core positions and hold them.  If you want to trade you will feel like an idiot now and then.  We'd all be billionaires at age 40 if this was easy.  I held MSFT for 15 years waiting for a 2X after being absolutely destroyed.  It would have been a 10X if I held it 4 more years.   Give it a minute and there will be some sad DE shareholders.  Great company and the stock eventually drops and rots for 5 years.  It's the nature of their BIZ.  It will happen again.

Less than I was hoping for, QCOM must be playing it conservative. Hopefully with 75% EPS growth expected in 2021 we will get a bigger boost next year.

Qualcomm Incorporated (QCOM) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a 5 percent increase in the Company's quarterly cash dividend. The quarterly cash dividend will increase from $0.65 to $0.68 per share of common stock and will be effective for quarterly dividends payable after March 25, 2021. This dividend increase will raise the annualized dividend payout to $2.72 per share of common stock.

I have been trying to get informed since I started a position.  There seems to be a very strong consensus that they hit growth targets in a year, and little consensus how much they will be affected by chip shortages near-term.  They have limited control of that for the next few months minimum, and likely longer as they are not a Fab, or intend to be.
