Yes, Merritt appeared to back walk on his $800m projection. That was the only negative comment I gathered from the webcast. JMO
IMO, M3S asked good questions and received good answers from Merritt. Way to go Leon!!!
We all know that senior management WILL DIP INTO THT WELL with bonuses as a result of the above. SO, why not give at lease $0.80 in a special dividend ($32 million) to well deserving shareholders? Wouldn't that show management's belief in its direction?
Why not round it off to an even buck? Billy and the boys sure aren't bashful about putting their own fingers in the cookie jar. JMO
IIRC, you're out of the stock now....so why do you care without skin in the game?
Jeffree, is there a link for the webcast? tia
Thank you!
Sheesh Data, why didn't you delete Jimlurs post? He asked the same question I did. People here are seeing what you are doing. It doesn't go unnoticed. Why is it someone so knowledgable as you can't give a straight answer? My guess is you'll delete this post as well. JMO
Data, for some reason, I know you don't like me and that's ok. But, for crying out loud, enough of the double talk. Please give a straight forward answer as we all know you are qualified.
Ghors, do you have any tea leaf readings for Fridays decision? Btw, thanks for your contributions to this board.
Samsung: Not only are they leaders in the smart phone marketplace, but check out their new "CURVE" big screen tv.
Got it, and even though I'm not superstitious I'll still avoid black cats and ladders......and make sure not to break a mirror!!!!!
Sons, I'm not superstitious but the decision falls on Friday the 13th.
Mick, he stated his position to me in a email or private message that I deleted long ago so I don't recall he's exact words but I'm reasonably sure he was in options of some sort. Btw, I do remember a mention of Lymes disease (not limes) . I hope he is doing ok as I enjoyed his indepth posts. JMO
Speaking of stock splits, Apple will enacting a 7 to 1 split today. Wouldn't it be great to see IDCC do the same someday?
Yep, he was replying to me when I asked him about his history with IDCC. I also enjoyed his commentary.
I remember when JMS posted here and said he worked for IDCC way back. He was very hung ho on the stock for awhile, then disappeared. I'm thinking he got burned with options and never looked back. JMO
It wasn't too many years ago that a few of us thought that signing Nokia would set a precedence for others to sign. Now me thinks Samsung replaced Nokia in setting precedence. Nokia has been spiraling downward in recent years and has become irrelevant while still admittedly owing for past infringement. JMO
Yes, I know you were talking about INTC. My point is that joint ventures don't always end well for IDCC. Anyways, it appears momentum is on our side going into this week...should be exciting.
Didn't IDCC do a joint venture with Nokia about 15 years ago.......as I recall it didn't end well for IDCC.
Hmmm, could it be because the ASM is on the 12th? Fingers crossed!
The short position is 5M I am really more worried about all the money the shorts are losing here. LOL
Yep, it breaks my heart too :)
Thanks for the info. I would certainly think that something could be done to authorize more shares, but what do I know?
I think better things are ahead hence I bought calls is that
insider trading?
But Mickey, you aren't involved in the talks and have no "hands on" knowledge of how close a settlement might be. I imagine Merritt is pretty much up close and personally involved in any activity that takes place. Gray area at best! JMO
Selling puts when you are pretty sure you will be seeing higher
prices makes sense.
Mickey, couldn't that be construed as insider trading?
If true, I would wonder how QCOM was able to be authorized for enough shares to accommodate the following splits: Splits: Feb 24, 1994 [2:1], May 11, 1999 [2:1], Dec 31, 1999 [4:1], Aug 16, 2004 [2:1]
Yes I am aware of the high percentage institutional ownership, but we could always use more buyers....do you agree?
Your thoughts make sense. I've heard that big funds stay away from stocks with small floats because possible volatility. We've all seen what happens to IDCC s/p with low volume trading. A 3 to 1 split would bump the float up to about 120M.
What about the word"emcumbered"?
Me thinks the price will vary throughout the day.....hopefully to the upside.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On June 3, 2014, InterDigital, Inc.'s patent licensing subsidiaries entered into a patent license agreement with Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. ("Samsung"). The multi-year agreement resolves all pending litigation between the companies. The royalty-bearing license agreement sets forth terms covering the sale by Samsung of 3G, 4G and certain future generation wireless products. The agreement provides Samsung the ability to terminate certain rights and obligations under the license for the period after 2017 but has the potential to provide a license to Samsung for a total of ten years
Doesn't say anything about a worldwide license, but it appears to NOT be a fixed rate license either.
I don't know....after yesterdays news I doubt IDCC needs anyone to buy them out. I would imagine the ante has been raised significantly in the last 24 hours. JMO
Look again!
As always, would appreciate it greatly if you can keep us updated. Thanks!
Sons, are you going to the ASM?
4000 shares trade in PM. Up a buck and a half. Hope the trend continues.
I agree with all your comments. IMO, Merritt also gave the impression that he knows something else which he couldn't discuss yet. I imagine there will be more news in the near future....perhaps before or during the ASM.
JMO
3 Captain Morgan diet cokes for me.
I think if we hit 60 we will also see a 3 for 1 split.
Jim, I'm curious why you think there would be a split above 60 and why not a 2 for1?
Or..............
Gotta say, I sure like getting these emails:
