my3sons, "From B&S website:"
05/07/2009
IDCC - Near-term Outlook in Line With Expectations; Maintain Outperform Rating, Increasing Target to $40 (from $38)
Always find that website "BS" a bit amusing - Hmmm BS or not BS?? Now that's the question!! LOL
dmiller, "I could be wrong but I do remember something relating to this"
What, something YOU Could be Wrong !! Wow, now that's News!!
Becomes a little touger when it's not " The Obvious "
Better hide out for awhile, I think there on to you!! LOL
Option ex today
A little noise out of KOP today could put the $30 calls in play, now wouldn't that be sweet!! Sure would put the shorts on
notice, well it's nice to have good dreams. LOL
Good Luck to all! Hrbart
dmiller, You have a incredibile Grasp of the Obvious, Please keep us informed of your incredible insights!! LOL
Some of us ( myself included) have complained about bonus's paid & IDCC , hmmm it's a good thing we don't own stock in AIG, just a thought!
just been out having a few cocktails in deerfield beach fla, watching a bikini contest, all is fair in, well you know the rest, Night All
Mickey, Wish you nothing but the best!!!!
Sorry Jim, Did not try to make light of what you said,actually agree with you 100% , just kidding about the numbers - sorry if you took it wrong. Just seems numbers ( 100 million, a billion, etc. ) are just thrown all over the place, just talking about today's politics. did not mean to offend you.
I appreciate your dedication to this board & I shall slink off & lurk some more.
I wish you well, & good luck to ALL, hrbart
Hey Jim, Kinda fun talking like a politician. LOL
"I used Ronnie's figures he took from the IDCC presentation and in my mind I allowed 160 million for 2-G."
"Using my 2-G figure it appears IDCC got 240 million"
It's the old adage a million here a million there, perhaps a billion or two & were starting to talk about REAL money, although now I think it's a trillion before it becomes REAL MONEY! LOL
And I'm still clipping coupons out of Sunday's paper - where did I go wrong? LOL
Never thought I would see these numbers bantered around in my lifetime!!! Good luck to all longs!! Hrbart
"I had mixed emotions about a buyback until your post. Thank you for influencing me to take a second look. I feel very comfortable with the use of this 100 million. Again, thank you"
Loop, My feelings exactly, but I would feel much more comfortable if they were splitting that 100 mil between you & me,after all we have been long time holders & each of us getting a bonus of 50 mil each would be cool, certinitly would help my retirement & I could get back on the cocktail rounds rather than this 50/50 mad dog stuff,well just dreaming. Just pass the bottle it's cold under this bridge. LOL
PS I've been a holder of IMM,IMMC, IDC, IDCC, for over 19 years, I was convinced it was going to give me a EARLY retirement, now I'm hoping we will see our just rewards before the box!! LOL
Just Kidding, life is good,hanging out in south florida (Delray beach)in the winter & Chicago in the summer ain't so bad !!
Good Luck & God Bless to ALL, hrbart
"this is an irrational market. If the dow drops under 6000, don't be surprised if we see mid teens again. Mkt doesn't care about fundamentals at the current moment and there is nothing we can do about it."
Wow, silly me, I wasted valuable time listening & evaluating Warren Buffet's interview on cnbc this morning when I could have just read our own, homegrown, stock guru "dmiller" , well at least now I won't have to waste any time watching his interview this evening. LOL
Good luck to all longs, Hrbart
"Short Interest Up another 18.54% (for the 2-week period) "
Why is that?? Have we recieved our money?? Will we recieved our money? Will earnings be good?? What is going on, who knows??
Only the Shadow knows & he ain't talking!!
I was planning on buying more tommorow in anticapation of a good earnins & great CC - but with short interest up, I'm not so sure. Any comments, suggestions or do I go back to the radio & listen to the Shadow?????
"anybody remember me from the old Ragingbull days?"
Your back after all those years, at least that what my last girlfriend said.
Are you back in or just visiting?
I remember saying IMMC is going to make me RICH & retire early, well I'm 20 years older, but I'm retired,not quite as rich as I was hoping for, but we are looking good now just can't do the same things I could have done 20 years ago but still waiting for IMMC, I mean IDC, whoops, meant IDCC Going to make me RICH!!!!
Got to have Dreams, hrbart
Were having FUN NOW, More fun coming in the $40s !!!!
Grones, "Just bought a boatload of shares at 26.59"
Free cash from selling your options, Good Move!!!
Wish you luck, wish all longs luck, hrbart
Grones, "What do you think?"
To borrow a phrase, "Greed is GOOD ! "
Another $2-3 is a comin! But then again we don't want to hear any Groans from Grones !! LOL
Good luck my friend, hrbart
"Just for FUN today I bought 50 contracts March 30S. Wish me luck."
Hey Buddy I wish you Luck, I would have really,really begged for luck if you would have bought March $50s - lol - I thinjk you have a GOOD bet there !! good luck to ALL, hrbart
Data; Thanks for the explanation,charts & such - helped me understand, I think ! LOL Hrbart
walman, I was just in your neck of the woods, went to make my "normal" deposit @ "Hard Rock casino" ,feel like I have to keep the econamy up in south Fla!
Haapy New Year, hrbart
Lando, Left the windy city for delraybeach,fla { like the weather a little bit better! } will be here for 2-3 months, my question is; should I keep my clubs ready for action?
"Happy New Year from Orlando!!! The offer of a golf outing here when we hit $100 is still in effect. Best to all IDCC longs in 2009."
Happy New year to ALL !! hrbart
Would it be Sweet to close @ $29 & have a 52 week high @ the end of the year!! Looking forward to 2009 & our turn in the "Barrel"
Nice Close!! Broke $27 - Hopefully to see nothing but bigger numbers from this day forward.
Come on Sammy cough up our CA$H. Happy New Year to All!!
"Samsung requested 45 days to determine the form of payment."
Or was that just another ploy to STALL, DELAY, & not PAY. As you can tell, I do not trust ANYTHING they say, sure hope I'm wrong!
Happy New Year to ALL! hrbart
OT "Interesting Nickmar as I forgot about the blending."
All that is fine & good but the real reason for the varitey of pricing is more than likely IDCC mgt ineptness to price right!! LOL
Have a Happy New Year!!
"Hey, I'm still relatively young at 45. I'm counting on Idcc for my early retirement though."
Hey scooby, I felt the same way, IMM going to make me Rich & retire young-I'm 64, 20 years later & still waiting LOL.
Made some money on IDC & no complaints, but still waiting for Houston 100 so i can buy my yacht. I wish you luck !!
Good luck to all! Hrbart from the windy city, but hanging out in delray beach for the winter,ready to buy my Yacht !!
"IDCC is down less than 1% today. Gold, oil, and commodities are down much more"
I Always Knew my IDCC stocks where better than GOLD !!
Wow, Whole Portfolio is GREEN, been quite awhile since that has happened. Perhaps we've hit bottom??
Good Luck to ALL !
"nice move up in a sea of red! would like to see more volume, but I'll take it"
Only green in my whole dang portfolio! Idcc going to save the DAY !!
Were in the GREEN !!! What caused that??
Sure put's a hurt on optons ex a week from friday.
Sure would have liked to see all those Sept 30 calls exercised !
I guess we still have chance at that - but....
"Drip, drip, drip...the sound of an eroding daily share price."
Any Stock in particular ???? According to my computer IDCC is NOT DRIPPING - Maybe it's all in your head!
Hey punkin, Keep the wind at your back & head down. Good luck to ya, hope it just passes & no harm! Got caught in Wilma couple years ago in Florida & decided Didn't want to do that Again!!
Stay Safe, hrbart
The trend is up! Low vol = up
Med vol = up
Now for some Big Vol & to the moon Alice!!
The "Trend" is our Friend !! ( For a change )
Got to love the option plays!! Break $30 before opt ex & we have a whole new Ball Game !!
Good Luck to All & break $30 in September! Hrbart
OT "After digging as deep as 50 feet in remote County Clare, Paddy O’Brien, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Paddy has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Ireland had already gone wireless.”
But did they PAY US ??? Send out the Hounds, start litagation immediatly. LOL
"Is this an options week? low volume selling here could be a peg to 25?"
Sure looks like "they" are trying to pin the $25 mark AGAIN !!
We were @ $26.50 on Monday & Tuesday thought we broke there Grip @ $25 , I guess we will know in a cuple of days!
Good Luck To ALL! Hrbart
Options on Friday, perhaps we can break that $25 price & bring in some new players ????? Lookin Good Now!!
Earnings on Aug 7th, any predictions?? A good solid report could put us "mid 20s" again any thoughts?? TIA
sjratty, My deepest sympathy to you and yours !!!

Sad day, worse than MOT outcome!! Hate to say this but I've sold ALL after over 20 years in this stock!! I will watch but I've lost all Faith in company!!!!
