Broadcom is apparently wll loved because it is a technical innovator and deals in semiconductor for wired and wireless communications. The company is a leader in its rapidly growing field, but it has been unable to turn this leadership into reliably high profits. This year the company is projected to earn only $0.18 per share and in 2010 earnings will hopefully balloon to $0.78 per share. To be rair, I ought to mention that the company sports $4.00 per share in net cash, which means it is financially solvent. Subracting cash per share from the current share price leaves an adjusted share price of $25.51, which compares to an earnings estimate of $0.18 per share in 2009 and $0.78 per share in 2010. The price for this company is simply too rich.

This is part of the mobile internet index that Cramer is touting I looked and figured what the hay its worth a shot to see if they grow they way he thinks they will. His thesis is that the mobile internet while be as big a game changer as the original internet was. Being a CTO I do not think it will be that big a movement but it will provide enough growth for his index to work just not be the huge bust out he thinks it will be. What your looking at is replacing every cell phone and laptop with a device that can connect to the internet at broadband speeds form just about anywhere in the US. The only problem I with his choice is that he left out HP and DELL and Lenovo the big laptop makers they will have a play and I am including them in my version of the index. It's been a flop so far but I have hopes.
