    European commission for the second time have paused its investigation on $QCOM's acquisition of NXP semiconductor. The antitrust regulators fear that this deal might trigger a rise in prices and might also reduce innovation in the semiconductor industry. http://alph.st/pb9a4874

    Doesn't look as though the markets are too impressed with the deal/delay?

    Would it be better for Qualcomm shareholders if the deal was called off?

    Bought 100 shares of QCOM early this year on the big dip. Have been disappointed with the results.

    The chart does not look good at the moment - not obvious where the next support might be.

    Interesting - and everyone thought this move was on the back of the ongoing battle with Apple.

    Not sure any predator is going to pay over the odds while there is so much uncertainty surrounding the company. Is this interest opportunistic or serious? I would be inclined to sell into strength if I had any shares :)

    Looks like the NXP deal will go through whether or not Qcom is taken over by Broadcom.

    The share price is circa 10% under the original offer price valuation which suggests to me it will not go through?
