Anyone in QCOM?
Anyone investing heavily this year??
- Thread starter rph2005
- Start date
For $QCOM, I can see wanting to get away from just phones/other devices and getting heavily into laptops and data center. I just wonder what pieces of $INTC would $QCOM sell. because the only way this passes by regulators is with breaking up $INTC into smaller pieces. I don't see China approving a merger like this unless they get a piece.

Amazon tells workers they must come to the office 5 days a week
Amazon is demanding that its corporate employees return to the office five days a week, a significant change from its current pandemic-era hybrid policy that requires them to be in the office just three days a week.
CEO Andy Jassy made the announcement about the new policy Monday, writing that the change will help its thousands of employees “invent, collaborate, and be connected enough to each other and our culture to deliver the absolute best for customers and the business.”
The new policy takes effect on January 2, 2025.

The budget motel chain Motel 6 is being acquired by the parent company of Oyo, a hotel operator based in India.
The New York-based investment firm Blackstone, which owns Motel 6’s parent company G6 Hospitality, announced Friday that the deal would be an all-cash transaction worth $525 million.
The transaction will also include the sale of the Studio 6 motel brand, which caters to customers seeking extended stays. The deal is expected to close by the end of the year.
Oyo, which launched in India just over a decade ago, has been expanding its footprint in the U.S. over the past few years. The company says it currently operates 320 hotels across 35 states and is aiming to add 250 more this year.
“This acquisition is a significant milestone for a startup company like us to strengthen our international presence,” Gautam Swaroop, OYO’s international division chief, said in a statement.
Blackstone had purchased Motel 6 and Studio 6 in 2012 for $1.9 billion. Since then, the private equity giant says it has heavily invested in the brand and pursued a strategy that converted the chain into a franchise.
“This transaction is a terrific outcome for investors and is the culmination of an ambitious business plan that more than tripled our investors’ capital and generated over $1 billion in profit over our hold period,” Rob Harper, the head of Blackstone Real Estate Asset Management Americas, said in a statement.
Under the deal, Oravel Stays, which owns Oyo, will acquire G6 Hospitality.

Today marked the date where insider shareholders could start selling their shares.
A lot of them sold as quickly as they could.
Trump lost another $300M today....lol. I have a feeling he might pull the trigger when it dips below $10.
Right now it's sitting at $12.22
I blame Mexian gangs, woke, and the trans.
Imagine if someone (which I'm sure they have)....invested a million dollars in it back in March and today only having $190k to show for it.....lol.
That type of shit makes mufuckas jump out of skyscraper windows....
Caroline Ellison Was Supposed to Shock the SBF Trial. Instead, the Defense Team Has.
Sam Bankman-Fried’s business partner and on-again, off-again girlfriend surprised and awed in her testimony last week. But perhaps most surprising was how her days in court exposed the defense.www.theringer.com
Caroline Ellison, whose testimony helped convict Sam Bankman-Fried, sentenced to two years in prison
A federal judge sentenced FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s former girlfriend to two years in prison, citing her extensive cooperation with prosecutors that led to the conviction of the former face of the cryptocurrency industry in one of the largest financial frauds in U.S. history.
Why though? What is the upside?
there is no upside. they just dont wanna end up bagholding.
i think most insider shareholders were able to buy shares of DJT between $10-$16 before the merger with Trump Media.
They were probably lookin like,...."Im RICH BITCH", when the stock shot up to over $70 a share at one point back in March.
However, like Trump,....they couldn't sell their shares til Sept. 23rd. They had to watch with sickening faces as the stock dropped
back down to $13 before they could finally sell. The majority probably sold with either a small gain or a very small loss.
But they are smart enough to see that this shit aint goin nowhere and are getting out now while they still can.
Now for those Trump supporters that started buying in at $50 and $60 a share in FOMO......are probably still listening to Trump
about him not selling and just still holding on to the stock.....wishing it will go back up to those March highs. Probably have lost their life
savings dealing with this fool who's company is not even making $300k a month in earnings. The writing is on the wall.
My bad, i read your other response wrong

Some info I gathered on how to handle your investments and assets at your end of life. These steps make it easy for Family. Also be sure to leave social media passwords and any related personal logins.
==========================================
Make sure all bank accounts have direct beneficiaries. The beneficiary need only go to the bank with your death certificate and an ID of their own. Also, have your loved ones get plenty of death certificates, no institution will accept copies of a death certificate 'only originals'. Meaning, for every bank, real estate broker, ect. you name it they all want an original death certificate to keep for their records so have extra on hand just in case.
- TOD = Transfer On Death deed if you own a home. Completing this document and filing it with your county saves your heirs THOUSANDS. This document allows you to transfer ownership of your home to your designee. All they need to do is take their ID and your death certificate to the county building and the deed is signed over. Doing this will avoid the home having to go through probate.
- Living Will: Allows one to put in writing exactly what you want done in the event you cannot speak for yourself when it comes to healthcare decisions
- Durable Power of Attorney: Allows one to designate a person to make legal decisions if one is no longer competent to do so.
- Power of Attorney for Healthcare: This document allows one to designate someone to make healthcare decisions for their person.
- Last Will and Testament: Designates to whom personal belongings will go too.
- Funeral Planning Declaration: allows one to say exactly one’s wishes as far as disposition of the body and the services.
- If the above documents are done, in some states you can AVOID probate. If all the above is not done, you have to open an estate account at the bank. All money that doesn’t have direct beneficiaries goes into this account. You have to have an attorney to open the estate account. The attorney also has to publicize your passing in the paper etc., to allow anyone to make a claim on your property. - It’s a complete PAIN.
- Make a list of all banks and account numbers, all investment institutions with account numbers, lists of credit cards, utility accounts, etc. Leave clear instructions as to how and when these things are paid. Make sure heirs knows where life insurance policies are located.
- Make 100% sure SOMEONE knows your Apple ID, bank ID account logins and passwords!!!!
(create a binder with all of this! ) Social media passwords and any related personal logins.
- Make sure you have titles for all vehicles, campers, etc!
- MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!! - Talk with those closest to you and make all your wishes KNOWN. Talk to those whom you’ve designated, as well as those close to you whom you did not designate. - Do this to explain why your decisions were made and to avoid any lingering questions or hurt feelings.
Have everything in order. A pre planned and prepaid funeral. A TOD deed for the house would have save thousands in attorney fees and you can avoid having to probate the estate.
Hope this helps! Hope this lights a spark to encourage all you men to take care of these things to make it easier for those we’ll leave behind!
My hope is that the above list at least helps you start an important conversation with your loved ones and an attorney that can help you complete all the necessary steps.
==========================================
May we all live long and prosperous!
This is another step in preventing the cycle of poverty.
