OT: Must be a lot of people on IDCC reading your post on SWYC last night. I put some in so I could watch and see how the story will unfold in the future.
Institutional holding is now at 27.9% with 140 institution holder.
I noticed Heartland is no longer included in institution count.
That may effect the percentage. Are they moving Heartland out from institutional holder to insider since it hold more than 5%?

That would be great selling point for the phone for average user if they do not charge air time for TV and radio signal for it. It would be great selling point for Satellite radio to be included in the phone. Of course without charging air time but only monthly service same as presently charge. I won't mind buy one with small ear phone with it. PS: I do not have shares in XMSR or SIRI.
Jimlur: I notice the number of institution holder is decreasing from ~157 now down to 147. Percentage is still roughly about the same.

OT: quicken can do that for you as long as you enter datas of Buy-sell correctly over the year. Go to pull down menu on quicken : Report and export financial datas which could be imported into TurboTax. Very accurate. Done that for a few years.
I remembered earlier: His new employer (whatever company is) do not allow him to post on chat board.
GE_Jim : Good explanation on your chart.
What do you think about P&F? I never see you use it since I read your post. Thanks

OT: AMS: Can you open online account in US without going thru oversea broker? Just like to know. Any regulation prevent that. Thanks
Short interest is UP while price is UP. That is good news for future short squeeze

I rather have good news on bad day. We already up more than market on good day anyway. Good news (unless it real big one) won't move much more. I am happy with any GREEN day. On Bad day, we would move up against market with some good news.
Go back to read Nieves post # 54496
OT: Thanks: Mickey we miss you.
Last time we run up. There is more short. Probable new short initiate from some who do not believe much more than old short who cover.
Nieves: Thanks for fast update on new coverages. I wish to have more cash to buy more. Already load up and do not want to get deep into margin. Sold a lot of Jan20, Feb20, March 20 PUT for extra cash (with good profit since IDCC is UP). Still remember reading your post on Ericson/IDCC settlement. I am the first buy on that day premarket at $14.20 Thanks.
OT: There is no lawsuits with Nokia or Samsung over patents.
The questions is what the rate Nokia should be paying. Is Ericson settlement tricker Nokia rate? Samsung already agree to pay same rate as Nokia once it has been established. So the case go to arbitration in regard to rate from January 2002 (That is 2 year+ back pay.) Do your own due diligent?
Please visit IDCC board instead of asking question in RMBS board.

OT: PM to you EOM
I am also holding both IDCC & RMBS but far overweight in IDCC.
RMBS is very volatile due to waiting for ID from ALJ. If ID is flavor RMBS I would commit more into RMBS. I have only small portion in RMBS (1800 shares)while IDCC patents infringement seem to be clear out except waiting for royalty rate agreement from Nokia per arbitration. Samsung will take same rate as Nokia. Seem to me, the one who license with IDCC is doing real well such as NEC. RIMM is exploding today.
Yes. My son sent me his picture from college to me all the time from his phone to my e-mail address. Unfortunately. It is from Sprint PCS phone. Anyway picture quality is not so good. It is not good enough to save and print as hard copy.
I believe it was 2 different cases. It has nothing to do with last year case.
OT: I love your post.EOM
"the Ericsson settlement imposed a $500 million penalty on Nokia"
If IDCC could settle thru arbitration for 50% that is $250 millions. That not even included Samsung.
Conclusion. "I am buying and done that this morning up to my limit". I could wait for a year for that money to show up.
I am holding my shares with PURE cash now. I am not gonna worry about how it is swing. Plus available cash to add more if need it.
OT: I know it is good. But I do not need one. I do not travel.
Do not listen to radio at home / office that much. I wonder how many people would need it. I know trucker would love it.
Yes. I agreed. Nothing wrong with selling. I had been reduce my position for a while (panic time). Now I have to buy back at higher price. Generally GE_Jim was great in trading. I wished I sold at that time when he sold ~$27-28. I am bad in trading. It is personal judgement call. Somebody need to sell so we would have stock to buy. So I will add little by little with cash without worrying about trading.
GE_Jim. Thanks to be honest. BTW I have been adding position little by little with Real cash. Another bid still out there 500 $19.00 Even I do not get it it won't matter. I already have enough. I wish it go up without hitting my bid. It would help my overall position.
Alley. Now I will a good reason add some more. Holding a lot of cash for a while now. Presently have only 1/2 of my peak holding. Thanks
I understand that the closing argument in FTC case is today. When would we expect to hear final word from judge?
IMO bad one RMBS $15. Good ruling sky is the limit.
Thanks.
You may be right. IDCC can't even sign 3G with Ericsson (except a few such as NEC, Sharp). I still hold IDCC but it is a lot less than it used to be. A lot of holding is CASH.
This cash would be on sideline for a while until dust is settle. Until I could see Nokia/Samsung/Ericsson pay for 3G. I may pay a few points higher but it is safer.
Seem to me it is not major event. After hour yesterday seem like panic seller. It is now stable. More likely we will be in 16+. Amazing no trade before market as of 8:17AM
IMO: Samsung request to unseal document does not matter.
If Judge Lynn deny Nokia request, she would deny the same for Samsung. Then Nokia go to arbitration with IDCC. Samsung will have to get the same MFL per previous arbitration between IDCC/Samsung. This is delay tactic by Samsung not to pay as yet.
IMO Samsung has no case and it does not matter (except panic investor and stock price)
Question to any one who could answer.
I just refinanced the house which I just bought for about 3 years. It is the best location in Potomac Maryland, Suburban Washington DC. It had the best school in the country. Now the value has almost triple in 3 years. I just refinanced conventional loan 4 7/8% fixed for 15 year last month. LTV is about 30% (per appraisal during refinance).
I forgot to ask settlement lawyer not to have an escrow account for Taxes and Insurance. I now decide not to have an escrow account due to LTV less than 80%. I wrote letter to the bank. Bank sent the letter said it had approved but I have to pay $289 for ESCROW waiver fees (which would be deducted from escrow balance). I think this is unfair. Anyone has an idea who I should complaint to. Is there any Federal Agency who oversee conventional loan from the bank. I want to write a letter to the bank again and tell them I would write a compliant to. I need to be specific. Thanks
OT OT Malko: PM
I will keep minimum 5000 shares for old time sake. I still hold more that 5000 shares unless it drop more. I determine not to ride it down again. BTW: More likey they will PUT another 1000 shares to me on -10 contract SEP 17.5 PUT and may be another 10 OCT 17.5 PUT
Jimlur: thanks for the report. It work out well. "TC doesnot sound very happy" and encourage to get rid of HC.
I am too. I am sold aproximatly half of my position already.
BTW I put in CYPT it is up 1000% from 11 cents to $1.47 today (in two weeks). This help me offset the disappointment with IDCC. I sold 1000 shares for 1/4 point drop in IDCC until down to 5000 shares. That it.
Jimlur
OT: just receive your fax. Covert fax to pdf file. and e-mail back to you at e-mail address as shown on IHUB member
GE_Jim. Are you saying $14.50 is a good time to add position per your TA? Thanks
