Having been on a downward slide since the first week of January, tech giant Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ: QCOM) had what can only be described as the week from hell to begin February.

The latest drop made this one of the company’s worst starts to a year ever, and it washed out investor sentiment.

If they are, they certainly have a point. Here are two reasons why Qualcomm’s risk/reward profile just got a lot more interesting.
