Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) shares managed to close the day 1 percent higher.  CFA John Gavin voiced his concerns about the company’s accounting.  He says, “There is a strong case to be made that Qualcomm has a material accounting risk that remains largely undiscounted despite the company having first disclosed elements of it over a year ago in November 2010.
