chipmaker qualcomm has agreed to pay chinese authorities an anti-monopoly penalty of $975 million. the fine is the largest china has ever imposed. on a foreign firm. officials with the country's antitrust regulator say qualcomm abused its market dominance and broke a law on unfair pricing of products. they say qualcomm charged chinese cell phone manufacturers and others unfairly high licensing fees to use its communications technology. and they claim qualcomm made chinese manufacturers accept contracts that were disadvantageous to them. qualcomm officials say they're disappointed with the results of the antitrust investigation, but they're not contest the fine. the officials say they will adjust the business practices in china. >>> the prime ministers of japan and mongolia are taking down barriers to trade and investment. they got together in tokyo and signed an economic partnership agreement. >> translator: we would like to take this opportunity to deepen our mutually complimentary relations in the economic field. >> mongolian prime minister chimed saikhanbileg said the deal will

qualcomm was the target of a 14 month investigation. in fact they were accused and now found guilty of breaching antimonopoly law. the regulators today said they were most troubled by what they saw as excessively high royalty fees. the company made a tremendous amount of money in china. they derived half of their revenues from this country and the incredibly huge smartphone market here but they make money two ways. one is that they sell the chips but they also make a will the of profits off of the royalty fees for their patents and this is what is going to change. they agreed to change the way they calibrate their royalty fees here in china and that results in chinese companies getting a better deal. there's been a lot of questions raised about this because many people have been wondering how this is going to impact other markets such as the united states and europe where he they also face plenty of antitrust issues. >> thank you so much for bringing us that story. in other news my spidey sense is tingling, a major hollywood deal must b

qualcomm has $31 billion in cash. >> roughly. >> 28 billion of which is overseas. a little bit different mix but it's a significant amount offshore. >> so what would it take to bring that money back to america in terms of tax reform. i was also interested to learn that you actually did take out a credit line recently. i assume your borrowing money because interest rates are so low and even though you've got this 31 billion in cash. >> it's a strange situation. what we have is the tax incentives for a corporation is actually easier or there's an incentive to invest outside of the united states because of the way that the tax system works, so, for example, when we come up with a new plant wherever we're going to put new employees, the tax system today for a u.s.-based corporation that has significant offshore cash balances it's easier for them to do it offshore which is not good, not good for the u.s. economy or for u.s. workers and we would like to see that changed. the second piece that happens is because we have commitments to give money back to the shareholders,

china basically found that qualcomm was abusing its monopoly power.isagrees or is disappointed that china came to that conclusion but has agreed to pay just shy of $1 billion in fines because of that. they've also restructured some of their licensing terms with chinese suppliers and a key factor here they've agreed to terms that they are going to use 65% of the price of a phone to determine what licensing fees are due to qualcomm. qualcomm had been fighting for 100% of the selling price of a phone to be factored in the licensing fees that it's going to get but qualcomm agreeing basically in china to take a hit to that. qualcomm executives have been telling me for months the advantage to getting this resolved is they think they'll get a fuller count on the number of devices that are being sold in china that they're due a licensing revenue on. they think they will count more phones even though they will get less money for each phone. they have raised the low end of the guidance range by $300 million. they've also raised the low end of their nongap eps r

qualcomm to me, nothing that you just said manifested itself from the quarter we saw from qualcomm. obviously a big bounce today. maybe you saw the flux at $62 on 48 million shares worth of volume a couple days ago. but it faked me out. now, it has to prove itself. get back above 70 before we even start talking about it. >> plus you have samsung flooding the market with these products, too. so that's the competition. that's what micron trades off of. and both those pricing charts looks horrendous. so if you're going to take a flier out on it, don't go all in on this. because what makes up micron right now is decreasing in price, the commodititized pricing is being hit extremely hard. >> at the same time, would you -- i mean, is intel still a buy here? >> i think it is here. i think it's going to be very defensive in this environment and i think they've shown that they're a name into the different types of chip market that they were not in. the mobile space is getting very good. but this is like a gdp number. i would much rather be listening to companies tell me what they're doing. t

when being asked to make a pick, i went a little contrarian because i went with qualcomm -- charles:a couple bucks today. what was the news today? >> i just think they're oversold. >> 10% hit. [laughter] >> they've got a 2.7% dividend, they've got 31 billion in cash, and i think they took a particular hit because intel is creeping up on their tails in the mobile capacity. intel is discounting everything they can to get into that market. i still think qualcomm's the biggest player in the chip space, and i'm sticking with them. >> i just want to say i really agree. it took qualcomm over a year to come back from being sued in china, which is a good lesson of what can happen if you get too big in china and threaten the administration there. i love solar winds, swi, there are a lot of stocks in technology, and technology is the place to be, but solar winds does triple shooting in the i.t. space, especially in cloud computing. the fortune 500 use solar winds, the growth is there, so the i.t. department's contacts, solar winds will say, hey, what's wrong with your infrastructure, with your
