Read a little about institutional ownership of a company. AVGO is ~90% institution owned. QC is ~80% Institution owned. If they decide to sell the company, or elect new board members there is nothing employees with paltry ownership can do. Yeah, you can jump around with you knickers in a twist - nothing will change though.
If half of QCOM is laid off and 20% of Broadcom is laid off, you will either lose your job OR
next pay raise cycle, you get no pay raise.
Did you even think before this suggestion?
What do the globalstar dudes tell about him?
Are you kidding me
If Qualcomm Sr Management were that smart, then Qualcomm would not be in this hole it has dug itself in.
Sr Management were loading themselves with front loaded stock options in 2015, instead of this strategic planning dude, where have you been?
Just google SM exec package for 2015/2016, more than 60 Million in one year for digging sinkholes, pretty good.
Talk to old timers about his Globalstar lab time, and you will figure out how great of a CEO you have :)
Wake up, HT is coming to hock some tans :)
So maybe brcom is not that much crap and qcom not that much of a superstar? Plus apparently management and their moves have significant impact on the co.pany financials..
Are we bring overfed with the "we're da best" stories? She. I used to work for another big company, we were hearing same stories... (and loosin market)
Broadcom is cr@p and its stock has doubled in the last year
Qualcomm is superstar and its stock has gone down 30% in the last year
What are we missing here
I rememember 10-12 years ago someone asked this question to then CEO PJ about why doesnt Qualcomm buy Broadcom (after the 800 million dollar defeat that Qualcomm had)
CEO laughed and said, it was not a good cultural fit.
Also Qualcomm history with acquisitions is not good, right?
We've seen that move in the past.. Porsche tried to buy VW and then it was flipped on them.
BCOM is Cr@p. Not worth buying.
