Q: With the kerfuffle over QCOM I noticed there is talk about the buyout of NXPI not going through. Further some analysts are bringing NXPI's price target down. One part of me likes the arbitrage between the two. So 2 questions. What does NXPI look like to you on a stand alone basis and what do you think of trading out of NXPI into QCOM over a period of time?

Q: Hello and Merry Christmas. I have been doing some reading in regards to RFID and the multiple uses it has in everyday life. With Amazon looking to change the grocer business would you have any suggestion on companies in this field to look into, that would be listing in Canada or the USA? I have found zbra, gpic, rop listed in the states already. Thank you for your time have a great day
Q: I see that you like QCOM a fair bit. I have considerable cap. gains in NXPI which I am waiting for the year rollover to trigger. First, what percentage would NXPI earnings be adding to QCOM if it were to go thorough today? Would QCOM be good choice as a replacement? Also, would this be the way to play this or should I wait for the deal go through? In comparison I am thinking QCOM will be a fair bit less volatile. Is this a fair assessment?
Q: I am trying to determine if the following makes sense . I can buy Nxpi today at about
98.70( last trade) , Qcom has an offer of 110 closing end off 2017. I have not read anywhere the suggestion the takeover will not occur or that there are any government concerns.
In my truly humble opinion it looks like an easy way to make a guaranteed 10 plus percent on my money over a year.
Thus the issue.. Can it be that easy.
I suppose there is always a chance the deal can be terminated up until the cash is transferred , and if so Nxp get 2.5 billion .
I think the risk reward here is toward the reward.
Your comment would be appreciated

Q: So the deal QCOM has firmed up but the completion date is pushed way out to the end of 2017. Waiting implies a return of 10%. Any chance of NXPI being 'in play' with higher offers coming forward meantime?
Q: Hi 5i team,
I have Nxpi semiconductor stock in both registered and non-registered accounts both with positive gains. With the news of a take over what would be the best approach going forward. How do I know when to sell, do I wait for a formal offer as the news appears that they are only in talks with qcom at this point in time. I am thinking of putting the non registered US dollars into Oclaro Oclr-q.
Thank you
Mike
