Tuesday, February 12, 9:18 AM ETQualcomm (QCOM) -1.4% thanks to a downgrade to Neutral from JPMorgan, which foresees "rapidly slowing smartphone adoption" in 2014. The firm also sees 3G device ASPs falling this year - Qualcomm's device royalties are based on a % of OEM selling prices. The downgrade follows solid post-earnings gains. Separately, Broadcom (BRCM) says its first 4G baseband chip will be smaller than rival chips, but (like Intel's) won't ship in volume until 2014 - Qualcomm dominates this market, though some competition exists.

People forget we use to have to buy a new PC every year...now we have to buy a phone instead.
As soon as $QCOM gets down to $64ish, I'll add more to my already profitable position in the company and thank JPM for putting the stock on sale for me.
