Solid post regarding the recent Blackrock purchases. Could this bring the investor juice back to Wi-Lan?

Some things to keep in mind following the Blackrock purchases:

BlackRock is a provider of exchange-traded funds focusing on the diversification of an index fund. It creates powerful analysis service programs and analyst reports to generate market-moving information. Their purchases are systematic and often indicate potential development.

Blackrock is known for engaging portfolio companies and producing constructive communication. By meeting with executives and board directors, Blackrock brings an abundance of experience to the company.

Its ability to participate in proxy voting suggests that investors that are unsatisfied with the feedback received from a company can now rest assured Blackrock will take these concerns into consideration.

Similarly to how Blackrock purchased Vringo before the Google lawsuit, Blackrock has now purchased a chunk of Wi-Lan’s voting shares following the Apple suit. The benefit of the large-volume purchase made by Blackrock is invaluable to Wi-Lan, which many have argued lost vitality. The recent purchase displays not only an interest in Wi-Lan but also the perception that the stock is undervalued. One can assume that Blackrock either believes the judgement will be overturned or that investment interest will soon return to this company.
