You are correct on it is a form of dilution, I agree there totally.
BUt not the dreaded dilution that everyone runs from.
I am not in for the long haul. So I am not worried about expiring patents.
I might keep some shares to go real long with, depending on how things go leading up to district court. It is problematic for sure if you are looking at WDDD as a long term investment. Buy and hold, I am not that guy though.
My buy and holds are monthly dividend payers, for now anyways as retirement is still 20 plus years away.
I believe, and you might check with DDObserver or a couple of the others, but there is an issue that WDDD can address. Back to a clerical error, and Judge Casper saying the expiration date was this based on the filings, but WDDD has something from PTO that corrects it and WDDD can appeal. They just didn't being as they wanted this to move forward. I will see if I can find the old postings about it. Man that was like 3 or 4 years ago. That is paraphrasing of course.
Will find it and post. I am not pie in the sky guy though, I don't see all roses and cupcakes in the future. I see opportunity to make money, with a possible way to make A LOT of MONEY.
I will be not holding through a jury award waiting on appeal. They get Jury award, I am out. Sell off into the volume, and walk away to next spec play and move a lot of profits into safer areas.
Cash out and leave a little to let it ride.
----BUT----
They get a settlement and I am in for other infringers. Still selling out a sizeable portion to move into safer areas or new spec plays.
