Qualcomm - Looking for Re-EntryThe tech sector continues to get hammered and it brings down the good with the bad. Qualcomm' is still undervalued here in my opinion, and as we closed out our recent options contract for a profit we are looking for another re-entry.
Initially the bullish swing looked promising, but the recent bars are showing we likely retest the lows, between 54.0-56.0. What looked strong now looks like further weakness, but we are only at the beginning of a technological revolution with 5G and the IoT. New products and productivity create growth and Qualcomm' is positioned to take advantage of this with their new Snapdragon processor and 5G modem. Not only that Qualcomm' still has a cash hoard and pays a fat, juicy, delicious 4% dividend. We are using our options strategy to get paid to acquire a stock we do not mind owning at 60.0.
We are looking at several semi conductors as market sentiment continues to be dim on the tech sector. Fundamentally nothing has changed.
Disclosure: No current position but looking to sell PUTs in the near term.
QCOMC trade ideas
Qualcomm - Leader in 5G - Adding via Options StrategyQualcomm is building a nice bullish reversal structure off the key 54.0 level and is poised to move higher. Initial resistance is 62.0 but if broken shouldn't take long to test the 68.0 in the next month. With the introduction of the first 5G phone next year, they are way ahead of the others. Beaten up, left for dead, time to look to add this quality dividend payer to the portfolio! We are using an options strategy to acquire the stock.

QCOM, AAPL, OLED - Coincidence on new iphone plans?TELECOM Sector
Qualcomm snapdragon chips tend to go into cell phones #QCOM
Apple introducing new iphone as release X a fake release to 5G #AAPL
OLED displays are the best in the market #OLED
STM chips for ASIC might be made by someone else #whoknows
AXTI 3D sensors might have competition ?? #whoknows (not PM)
Yes, I left out AMD, which might be making the GPU, who knows ?? #toolate-shipsailing
Am I more interested in Softbank comment on new Japanese Telecom Carrier IP and needing big investments from banks.
Bought OLED in August. QCOM in Sept. Sold AXTI for now...3D sensor users needed. STM well holding on for no good reason.
These are all prognostications and viewers come to own sense of reality, investing, and humor.
Samsung / 5G-Apple here's a new product idea: I'd love to see a whole house smart phone system. Every phone has WIFI, display, GPU, etc. for under $1K or abouts.
QUALCOMM (QCOM) earnings preview: tepid revenue projectionsAnalysts expect Qualcomm’s licensing business to show a solid growth, because of increased 3G and 4G device adoption. However, recent government investigations into the business model and the Apple lawsuit against Qualcomm’s business practices have increased the possibility of negative effects on royalty revenue. Qualcomm may be able to withstand these inquiries and maintain adequate royalty rates.
Qualcomm is a steward of the digital communication technology known as CDMA, which is commonly referred to as a third-generation, or 3G, wireless communications standard. 3G allows devices to send/receive voice signals and wireless data, and has played a major role in the proliferation of mobile devices. Qualcomm’s treasure trove of patents (with a monopoly in 3G and a significant portion of 4G) allows the firm to charge device-makers a royalty fee as a percentage of the price of each 3G and 4G device sold (as most 4G phones are backward-compatible with 3G).
