Confident Investor comments: At this time, I think that a Confident Investor can cautiously invest in QUALCOMM, Inc. as long as the price is correct. Most of the fundamentals of this company are good but there are some concerns and I currently think the stock is overpriced at this level. I will be removing the stock from my Watch List.
