I keep this one in my core portfolio. Glad I added earlier this year. That one was a Postyle suggestion.
It's good for my dividends :)
Correct....this is likely due to their buy-back
Agreed. If facts change, the investor must change strategies as well. I personally have already recouped the majority of my DSS losses in other stocks. "Paper losses" are, and always will be realized, further so as time goes on, with no profits, and other opportunities are missed. This is commonly referred to as time decay. There will be plenty of opportunities to re-enter this stock, or as you mentioned, trade it should that be your particular brand of vodka. Either way, this company is still a winner long-term. GLTA here and you will hear more from me closer to the end of the year.
In the IP sector, the general rule of thumb is in times of information deficit, stock price tends to bleed indefinitely. Articles, publications, and minor (non-fundamental) PRs from the company can cause temporary spikes, however without substantial news and/or chronological proximity to key events in litigation, nothing will cause significant, maintainable gains. Patience, you have plenty of time to watch this play out and either play swings or establish a low cost basis.
I'll be looking to enter a large position around Nov./Dec.
I will also scale in more shares as the SP approaches the $1 mark. Don't know if it makes it that low, but with several months to go and no legitimate fundamental catalysts on the horizon, slow bleed is par for the course here.

And I could have stuck to Taco Bell $0.99 burritos instead of Chipotle but I and everyone else did. Give it time. Good business plan.
Don't bother until Tuesday.
Agreed, enjoy the long weekend.
Well, I've decided to avoid the delays and make money elsewhere until a timeline is established and I feel it is a good time to load up more. I will back the truck up at around the 4 month mark.
The timelines of the investor and the officers of the underlying security's company are hardly ever aligned. They are not looking for a quick pop in sp....rather a manageable, repeatable and predictable development of revenue for years to come in order to build true value.
We shall see. "The Market" prices in a lot, but it is irrational and often truncates a run in either direction prematurely when in an extreme environment (ie. a 4 year bull run). I won't try to predict where this goes, rather prepare to make money off that move.
"The Fed will be forced (IMO) to stay on track to taper because of political pressure and the stark reality of having to shrink the balance sheet. JMHO"
This is more of a reality than an opinion. Agree all the way.
Btw, 150% on that Apple play.
I honestly don't care where the market goes, I just want it to go there so I can start changing the strategy up with a little more confidence.
Also, it's hanging around it 52 week highs. I want to allow for churning and not necessarily kill the extrinsic
Short answer....because I'm not sure where the market wants to go in the near-term. I tend to air on the side of caution in a manic market. I want to follow the smart money on this one, however I want to leave a little wiggle room for hedges on the sell side if need be. Not trying to gamble is my best explanation.
Two more days and we have clarity. Either way the company has a solid game plan and a better business model than the remainder of the sector (on paper anyway). I believe two things:
1. DSS has a stellar chance at making substantial money through litigation
2. DSS will show a profit on the Q3. If not, it will be damn close to par IMO.
Personally, I'm putting this one on the back burner. I have a solid base and will hold/add at these lower levels. However, once a time frame is established you will see some large buy orders, many of which will be yours truly. Patience is the mantra with the IP sector. Doubly so with pre-revenue companies. I'll be back to this board after the 30th. Until then I'm all about large cap options these days.
Went heavy on Dow Oct 38 calls this AM. Heavy option activity in sept calls
Yes. And this will likely act a as a bellwether moving forward for the FB game plan. There is no downside to a company with pockets that deep. Fight, delay, challenge patent validity, delay, feint settlement talks, delay, flood court with motions, delay, appeal (anything and everything), rinse & repeat steps one through eight as outlined above in appellate court, and eventually 3-5 years down the road (assuming all goes in DSS's favor) settle. Yes they want to delay...
After the 30th we will know unequivocally if that date stands or not. That is my belief and my money is waiting on standby.
You're missing what in saying...the date doesn't change until "it is so ordered." Nothing does...
Well if that is the case I believe they need to make that clear. I understand that Markman has not been changed to this point. However I also believe that the judge has the autonomy to correct that if she sees fit on the 30th. If I am wrong somebody please step in.
I don't believe there is any wiggle room here in interpretation. What I am going off of is that "the court granted the unopposed motion to vacate those dates......the court will set a new schedule at the August 30, 2013 case management conference."
Now, will they decide that enough time has been spent in order to maintain Markman date (in other words the new date is in fact the same as the old one) I don't know. It's possible, but in my opinion improbable. But...like I said before I cannot predict the future or the intentions of a court of law. Wait and see.
That's a nice gain. I only trade options as well, minus a core portfolio that gets evaluated once a quarter. Never been in the industry, but traded for almost 20 yrs. good to know though, ill bounce ideas off you moving forward.
No problem, don't know if you ever sell much, but if there is an uptick today you may be able to do the same (in other words it NOT too late). If you happen to not have the ability to sell naked, maybe consider selling a bear call spread. Just some other ideas.
"missed AAPL - I didn't want to pay more than .65-.70 but it ran away. I think I will get my chance again though"
Yesterday sold AAPL September 550 Calls for $5.85. It's at resistance levels from Jan and I see it hovering for a while in this area. RSI very high as well.
I think the order is pretty clear. Maybe she keeps the Markman date, maybe not. Appears as though it will be postponed IMO. We will see though, I've seen crazier things and will never try to predict what a Judge is thinking, or what they will do in a court of law. I'm simply going to wait until the 30th and go from there. If she moves it back, I can't imagine it will be very far off. Either way I'm watching intently and will have plenty of dry powder to invest accordingly once a timeline is established.
Still fighting the good fight I see. Good on ya
This has been on my radar as well, but just can't justify pulling the trigger any time soon, or ever if there $ issues can't get under control.
Nothing to talk about. Waiting on new schedule after the 30th. Until then it's all just talking to hear yourself talk.
God I miss this board lol.
I'll probably be back some time in 2014 for a position once timelines are a little more clear. This one appears to have a good bit left before anything significant happens...... I can't believe people are still preaching settlement??? Anyway, good luck on is one.
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) will become a component of the Nasdaq 100 Index beginning on August 22.
The company will also be added to the Nasdaq 100 Equal Weighted Index and Nasdaq 100 Ex-Tech Sector Index to replace Life Technologies.
This is simply AH spread. It will return to .01-.05 spread when the bell rings.
Checks in the mail
Yes, added to core portfolio. Couple of times actually
Just got a shout out on Street Signs for being technically and fundamentally strong...along with Apple.
It's a long day.... This thing can move a lot in one day and can easily close green. It's just a traders game right now until fundamental facts are made public to substantiate a bullish bias.

I know you can't wait lol...always the prudent student you are. I get what you're saying, but my line if thinking is this: I understand that the new business model here involves a "core" business, however that has yet to prove profitable. I believe that this fact has not changed much over the previous two months. That being said, the big money, game changing money, the kind of money that changes a company from a micro to a mid cap, will come from litigation. And that, unfortunately, has a big question mark next to it until time tables are set. However, I'd like to see this guys do a "6 Sigma Clean" style housecleaning on the core side. That would change my mind and capture my attention operationally. We shall see.
