Q4 02', (same qtr as IDCC purchases although QCOM purchase was 6 weeks earlier) my largest buy during that time was mid 15's on Nov 21....hey like I said it doens't matter all my shares are long I am just waiting....
Only a couple of problems teecee, QCOM seems to get paid which leads to earnings and stock appreciation, we don't get paid, miss earnings, and stock continues to go the opposite direction of QCOM. I don't like it as I only own 200 shares of QCOM, granted I bought them under $30 back in Oct 02' but it doesn't touch what I have in IDCC. I bought a bunch of shares of IDCC between $15 & $19 back in 4Q 2002 and that is exactly where they are today......Could of, should of, would of, doesn't pay the bills but until IDCC learns to execute we will not see the 5% valuation that you referred to.....as stated a month ago all my shares are long IDCC and I have more shares than ever, I just need results and more time, obviously...
New topic...I think many here have grown tired of all this compensation talk. I think much of it is born out of the lkarge drop back in sharp price the last 6 weeks. Would we be having this conversation if we were still at 28? Anyway how about some dialogue regarding PERFORMANCE, here are some questions:
1. How would you grade IDCC performance over the last two years in signing new licenses in 2g & 2 1/2g. And the bigger question in my eyes, 3G licensing? That is where I expect the big $$$$.
2. How would you grade IDCC in protecting their IPR through PROPER contracts and enforcement of such over the last 2 years.
3. HOw has IDCC done in growing their entire talent pool from technically rich PhD's upto top notch Officers and BOD's.
4. How has IDCC done in protecting their cash and assets during a very tough market since 9/11?
5. How have they done in asserting their involvement in standards committees for the future (3G, 4G and beyond)
6. How has IDCC performed in aquiring perepherial tech or companies (Such as Tantivy) in the past 2 years.
7. How has management performed in exposing the company to Wall Street and its analysts, both buy and sell side.
8. How would you grade IDCC communications with its shareholders vs. two years ago at this time.
Although I am frustrated by the drop in share price and seemingly endless years of wait for this event or wait for that event I have, almost embarrassingly, become used to it. I do EXPECT good things, including stock performance going forward.
Here is hoping we are giving all "A's" on these a year from now.
OT: oops jai was ahead of me on that one.....should have kept reading through the posts
Jim: It's Not a "paying" or "nonpaying" member problem. Try installing the free software from adaware and you should see the problem go away
teecee it usually does well when you're on vacation, heck I'll take the delayed reaction, whats the difference a year from now anyway....glad your back...ignore the foolishness, don't feed it, we need you at full strength for important "stuff" I have a feeling a couple positive surprises are in store in the next 60 days
Jim...please check your e-mail....thanks
data....is there an e-mail address I can reach you at?
DR, you mean crazy things like make money!!!! and actually collect from their licensees. They are crazy!!!! Enjoy your posts, looks like you picked up a little more today eh?
ssalner...I tend to agree with you. I am in a performance based position and I have never had a "bonus" prior to producing results. I think it is a very fair way of keeping personnel producing.
OT: What happened to teecee i haven't noticed a post from him in awhile? Ugly day...we need some positive reinforcement from K of P in the form of some good news.....
boy you are one sharp cookie....WS has taken wireless in general down today..check NOK and QCOM in additon to IDCC...you must be needing more shares today eh? You mentioned a client bought last week right, did you miss out?
AMEN Loop!!!!! Some here just can't stand to see the other side of the coin, and yes it works both ways....I used to look at everything with IDCC with rose colored glasses and some of the better and more respected posters have taught me to open my eyes and watch what is going on. If I am speaking in ART's terms I am 100% FOR IDCC but that doesn't mean I think all is well in K of P, or that it isn't wise to consider some things that others throw out that I may not necessarily like or agree with. Thanks for all you add to this forum.
2ManyPets.....a couple of weeks back I posted that I was fearful of that and asked what opinions were out there of that happening....I did not receive a response from anyone....hope you will do better

Brutal!!!! Didn't think this would drop back this far or I would not have loaded the truck at 17.80 the other day.....come on one of you big $$$$ boys jump in and gobble up these cheap shares
Art, There has been plenty pulled out of that document and dissected the last few days and people have found little tidbits that have been helpful, turns out he was wrong and he retracted. Its not that same old "he hates IDCC or he's against them" routine all over again is it? Anyone that brings up a not so happy point isn't automatically trying to HURT IDCC... He isn't dumb enough to think someone here wouldn't catch this and call him on the carpet...I think and honest mistake for that very reason.
question for the board? Do you think that although Sierra has signed that their rate may be pending due to other situations in current arbitration? I, by the way bought more the last two days and have an all time high number of shares....I will continue to wait...
jai, I am completely with you on this. You have torn down all the b.s. and cut to the heart of the matter. You gain credibility with all (shareholders, analysts, institutions) by not "burning them" with unfullfilled direction (notice I didn't say promises, because they are not stupid enough to make ANY) The six years I have been in this it seems every year is going to be "our" year, that we will have the watershed events that will change our direction. No I am not complaining if I hated it that bad I would sell and move on. I fully believe we have the goods its just that as of today we haven't been able to take FULL advantage of what we have. Its a constant battle in this business FOR ALL, with infringement, licensing, standards, JPO......you name it its an issue for IDCC mgmt to fight through. That said, its the business, and you best find a way to do it in a more timely manner.
art, here we go again he is throwing something out for thought isntead of being a brash jerk and saying something stupid like "IDCC is a bunch of crooks"....I think he brings up a good point without having a bunch of people jump down his neck. Not everything is so black and white I think he asks a valid question based on the actions over the last couple of days.... JMO
art....it isn't about Hate, there may indeed be some truth in what some of the as you call "haters" have to say. You are a great IDCC follower but maybe its time that many open their eyes to what some folks have to say.........just becuase there is frusntration and questions doesn't mean that people "hate" idcc
DD, any chance that any of our "paying" licensees have quit paying based on ongoing disputes? somewhere there is a problem that even our experts missed by so far....they are too good to be off that much, there is an explanation somewhere but I sort of doubt we get a good explanation in the cc.......its always something unfortunately and I think some of the rah rahers here yesterday were parting with shares when they saw the downturn
my guess is that the .02 was the leak yesterday that sent us down.....more of the same todya undoubtedly...dissapointing indeed but I won't be selling
12B's.....is the 169,000 shares that I show correct?......as the song says keep it comin' on keep it comin' on don't stop it now
To all and maybe mostly to Data Rox, how much business gets done in Cannes? I have been involved in two different industries in my working career and one the international show was a social event the other was a focal point for getting some very serious business done. Have you heard/seen anything in the couple of press releases that might be a "dealmaker" to getting any licensees on board? Would this be a time when you could finalize agreements or would it more likely be a place where initial talks might start after demonstrations? Thanks to any/all that might offer some insight.
Not a bad place to start....http://wirelessledger.com/
DR...didn't you think that was a lot stronger than the norm we see from these guys. There seems to be a more aggressive approach to their offerings. Whats the next you are looking for? feel free to PM
I REALLY like that release, very detailed and seemingly all encompassing. I get more excited everyday about where I think this thing is headed. I will be one of mscheres ten individual shareholders still in when this thing runs...gotta like it no matter how early I was to the party, the years of torment and pain are about to be forgotten I suspect!!!!
now the shaky people will jump off, no news and they think its the end of the world....try and pry my shares, it ain't happening...I would say some are parting with their trading shares at the moment
deleted...board clutter, my apologies
Jimlur, I hope that news waits until Tuesday a.m., get it out today and it will probably be lost in the shuffle by Tuesday....on second thought, for those that matter they won't miss it...
who's more comparible to IDCC, ERICY or QCOM? At the moment QCOM up .21% IDCC up 2.01%.....
sheesh....ERICY up over 3 bucks....IDCC around 25c....And we are the engine and transmission???
Go Panthers!!! Gotta love the blood and guts of this team and hey if my team isn't in, you gotta love the underdog with the no-names......plus I live in Charlotte so hey I want the big party!!!!!
ed....maybe you missed it, or are you afraid to show your true colors? I am not trying to be antagonistic but you come off as being "in the know" about this so please share with us dummies.
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=2218572
QCOM to the rescue again....by the way Ed, would you care to answer my question I asked you twice last week. You made the comment that "as long as IDCC is a speculative stock", what in your opinion moves it to a "non speculative stock" ?
Mr. Ferrari, can you help me with this one from this a.m.?
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=2166614
Mr Ed, at what point in time do you suppose IDCC might NOT be referred to as a "speculative stock". What does it take to get out from under that label? Does it take a certain market cap, a share price, # of patents, licensees, settlement of arbitration, essential patents in 3G, just give me an idea what to look for. Thanks for the help and insight.
OT: I know this post that I am making is exactly what I am referring to, but why is there so much talk about Sirius and XM on this thread, shouldn't it be in the coffee shop or on their particular board? These are good times for IDCC and I would think that should be the 100% focus of this thread, I know not my place, its Jim's gig....
NO NO NO...I said it the first week of Dec that we would have no major announcement by the end of the month and I still stand by it. I am hopeful for something in the first qtr but once again I think that other manufacturers are very patient to see what happens to IDCC in any legal proceedings (2/2.5G) even if they have nothing to do with current licensing desires. The good news is that recurring revenue (as long as they keep paying) continues to grow and that is what is needed...
OT: thats the kind of movement I look forward to when are baby gets rolling with positive announcements
OT..wow, RIMM exploding....eom
OT: Regarding popups, I am not seeing a one. I am a paying member but I don't even see them when I am not logged in. I do have both ad-aware (free) and History Kill Pop up blocker ($29) running and it has eliminated 99% of any popups, just a little feedback for those having problems...
