Par Q has been quite quiet lately, I wonder what he is thinking these days.....I can't quit telling myself "you are an idiot you are an idiot, you are an idiot".....another day another step backwards
Wow, should have looked at the Form 4 before I got excited. Looks like something else for us all to be happy about. NOT!
Good Deal!!! A buy in any form makes me happy when coming from HArry, intersting to see the details. Not to be the least bit negative but does this tell us about anything of the timing of any possible settlement. As in could he be in the buy mode if a settlment is right around the corner? Good News, regardles...
Too much red.....I'm still holding, we are getting close, it just got here much faster than I expected...I think I will wait for the bottom end of this range to toss some more buy orders. Sigh

3G, try guy hicks...I sent an e-mail yesterday and had a response within a couple hours....
vg, yep I think for the last 3 or 4 years at least. I think we are so used to NOT SEEING any news from IDCC that everyone tends to get a little overly excited when something does comes out.
Jimlur, It should be obvious to all of us that anything ERICY related is going to be "out of bounds". One question it seems would be fair for them to answer is why was the trial delayed, but I wouldn't even ask it. However I have at least 3 or 4 questions that I certainly believe could and should be answered honestly by the company. A couple of years ago I sent in my top 10 questions and in hindsight probably 9 of them were questions they shouldn't answer due to their possible "competitive edge consequences". I guess my frustration these days has led me to believe if Mgmt would just suck it up and answer a couple of TOUGH questions at the conference call instead of the normal soft balls maybe some of us shareholders would gain a little more respect and confidence in them. Once again I don't really think they are that interested in the individual shareholders opinion or cares.
Hey Jim, I am sure this has been done a hundred times over but maybe everyone would feel a little btter if IDCC would answer some questions. The conference call would be a great time. I know we tried this several times in the last few years but any thoughts about trying to put together maybe ten GOOD ANSWERABLEquestions and submitting to IR?
Anyone, the payment that should ahve come in fourth qtr but didn't hit until early January came from WHO? brain fart here...NEC?
Dow down 140 Nasdaq down 30 everything I look at is red. So why in the heck is IDCC red today? dah. Starfe the only thing I agree with you on is can IDCC mgmt close a deal in public? Its been very quiet for too long IMO. However if you believed mschere and Mickey that's your fault (per one of your other posts). And 12 to 16, heck I'll take that return in this crap market
spencer, I would assume so, but I have no idea how this might come in to play during a trial. I do however stand on my belief that if F&J thought it would be helpful to have it in the press they would have done more than just not seal it. They would have quietly put it in the best hands to disseminate it. JMO
whoops, looks like several beat me to the same observation..
chartex, I totally agree with you. I am of the opinion that we have come this far leaving it to F&J and IDCC. Let them finish the game, we aren't really qualified relief pitchers in this legal arena. Ellis I would withdraw the information if you have a chance. I firmly believe this could do us a whole lot more harm than good. I could give a crud about a $5 increase in share price because of an article, only to have it backfire and someone cost F&J the use of a piece of critical info. I don't know how all the legal proceedings work but common sense tells me the pro's know more than I do on this. If F&J thought it would be of any help they could have easily found a good way to "leak it" to the press. JMO
SPree, looks like I was a little late with that answer, I'm reading old to newer posts...again I think most would agree that IDCC came out of the Markman a little more positively than ERICY...hope todays a better day. We'll see how the market interprets "w's" SOU.
Spree, I read that as they interpret the work that they did for IDCC (since they were the bolded company) in the Markman Hearing produced a Favorable verdict for IDCC. I don't think many would argue that IDCC appears to have come out on the postive end of the Markman hearing..JMO
Jimlur, wasn't the idea to answer the survey in the survey section? Thanks Mack for sharing your expert knowledge right here on the discussion board...
Jimlur, yes the link work and I am glad it did because I still couldn't locate where you were talking, sorry for the delayed response, I had hid the pillow...
Got it Jim, took it, that's pretty cool, neat little fun feature "while we wait---not so patiently" for answers to those questions
Jimlur...where is "board info"?
Mickey, wasn't today your day? Any new rumblings?
teecee, are you surprised that our big buyer from 6-8 weeks ago isn't out there? or is he? A
OT OT spree...and didn't their fans lived up to the classy reputation after the game. You could see this coming a mile away....salary cap problems will hopefully knock them down a notch next year along with a couple guys becoming eligible for social security...the team showed its age tonight and the fans showed why they have the repuation they do...
Jimlur, I don't think that is what he meant, I read it as you did all YOU could but you didn't havea Pro (like Matt & Bob here) to support and fix problems....just my opinion
OT: sluggo and tarheel, ditto for me, so much nicer without having to read all of that goofy stuff....helps the mental well being. Glad to see that Once and Infinite have gone....At least in my eyes. Thanks IHUB...
Jimlur, can you point me to how to use the ignore feature, I HATE using it but I will not tolerate this crap
Infinite Wisdom---great advice, you might want to take it yourself....
Infinite...who the heck are you. Nieves has been providing telecom related articles for a long dang time, who are you to think you have the authority to tell him to quit providing substance. What have you provided here that is of any use? Those of us that are serious about our investment appreciate not having to track down all the info that nieves provides. My two cents worth........
Re: Nokias fourth quarter..chime in here bean counters, but it would seem your 4th qtr profits could look outstanding if you weren't paying a nice chunk to one of your IPR partners. It falls in line for first qtr that profits may get trimmed "due to softer market" or maybe actually paying this one IDCC company? See I can spin....
OT Data: It's no coincidence that you say "Dang I love this stock" as opposed to Dang I love this Company. You've figured out how to play it both up and down haven't you....good for you...you're smarter and braver than I....I had a couple of e-mails the last two days basically telling me join the rest of us and trade this thing to make some money while you wait, after all if I would have taken that advice more strongly two years ago I would have more than double the shares I have now.....K of P will say nothing and as long as that doesn't change we are ruled by the mm's I'm stupid for not playing along...
Observation, all of us hoping for the price of IDCC to rise are PO'd. Those that have been looking for it to fall since the late Nov highs are happy. The sides collide and this turns into a less than productive board. Many who know me here know that I am long and remain long. I said 3-4 months ago that I was done trading any of my shares as I thought that we were way to close to finalizing too many things. Well I was wrong, some of you that I know sold at 18 plus in early Dec can now buy back with no wash sale consequences. We all, the longs, and Mack and Once and everyone else just SPECULATE there is very little that is factual on most of the topics that are discussed day in and day out as of late. Those that post that a settlment is imminent are speculating those that say adamantly ther will be no settlement and that IDCC will never be a QCOM, are speculating. I guess my point is until we are FACTUALLY told something by IDCC, ERICY, or the judge its JUST guessing and we have beat it all to death. Emotions go wacky and nothing new is discussed...mgmt stinks, insiders sales, court filings, we are talking about the same stuff we have for months with no resolution and we won't have until it is put to bed. Long story short don't spend all day driving yourself crazy, the shorts and naysayers will push the negatives to death and the longs and pushers will be defending the hallowed ground but until there is definitive conclusions speculation is what we are all propagating everyday.....just some ramblings from a frustrated long....
Snowy, my bet is on preparation for what is coming down the pike...JMO, my shares hope I'm wrong
Jimlur..sorry about that, that was a little tongue in cheek to Mickey...I love the guy to death but he should say in my opinion or IF they settle, not let the uninformed think something is GOING to take place.....or already has....
Mickey...have not been here much this weekend did I miss something, per your post.....
"Once Ericsson settles with IDCC, the insurance companies around the world may suffer losses as there will be tremors from the big handset manufactures felt all around the world, as all will have to cough up the dough"
Did IDCC or ERICY announce that ERICY will settle? Hot digitty-dog!!!!! or do you mean if they settle? Just thought I might have missed a big announcement. Thanks
Matt, good suggestion everyone is wound up today. Believe it or not one person does have the ability to do this. This same person has ruined the forum in the past. I just ask you what is the intnet of your board? What is the INTENT of Once, his has been for years to instigate, belittle, bash, you name it......board participants when it comes to IDCC. He adds nothing to the forum except a destructive personality of posting what he knows will tear a board apart. He causes people to get off track and people spend more time fighting with him than staying on topic thus the value of the board goes in the tank. Intent.........nuff said, it's your board...
Once has Once again been succesful in his ability to ruin a board and break up a great group of people. The ignore feature isn't enough when it comes to him. He is very good at baiting and there is always a newbie that jumps in so through the responses we all must wade because of Once's post. That condescending post to Matt and Bob made me puke. I was more than willing to make the move over here for Jim's sake but I am not going to sit here or shell out the $130 bucks (that I certainly planned to do llate next week) with the likes of Once who's only purpose is to instigate trouble. Bob and Matt you do a good job with the board but I think you need to look at the purpose of guys like this if you intend to grow this business. JMO, it's your board. Loop and Teecee I'll see you on the flipside, your input is much more important than Once's childish need to cause trouble.
Judge could envoke treble damages and ERICY/HRS might be "settling" on a number before Judge Lynn comes back. Others have also said they may "settle" so that ERICY agrees not to appeal and drag it out for another .....however long.
2112, you are right this is a great board and there is a good reason why. There is a great mix of very intelligent people with varied backgrounds that offer their opinions and most here are open minded enough to listen. In the end they can choose to do with it what they want. This board would be nothing if people weren't constantly sharing ideas, beliefs, and their personal knowledge. That will continue as long as people aren't being pushed in the corner and told that their toughts are stupid or wrong.
Careful teecee, someone might accuse you of being one of those well paid Wall Street professionals...LOL...you know, the one's like many of the Enron & Worldcom shareholders had wished they had called on the carpet...shareholders are part owners of a company and have every right to question MAJOR issues that have an effect on the value of the company. The answer isn't always "If you don't like it sell your shares", It's like spending 3 years restoring a car and then saying "take it to the scrap yard, I don't like how the paint color turned out"....you have decide whether to try and fix it or sell it to someone else. Sometimes it takes more time and discussion before you decide.
It might be easier for you to dismiss the compensation as you constantly see the big money that is paid to CEO's, CFO', COO's, Presidents...I am nearly certain that you know some fatcats on Wall Street that you have said to yourself or other "that guy doesn't bring a thing to the table how is he making that kind of coin"? The question is , what is their WORTH to the company? My opinion has always been PRODUCE results first, then pay the big bonuses for that production. Some here will say well you have to pay them the big bucks immediately and ongoing in order to keep good talent. Well if they aren't making acceptable profits are they really good talent or just somebody that everyone is comfortable with. Just because someone has a different opinion doesn't mean they are idiots, wrong, or should essentially be called babies (per your insinuation of crying). Just an opinion.
Bravo JimLur...You don't know how supportive many here are that YOU made that post. Many have expressed a similiar viewpoint but have been met with a good kick in the teeth, maybe those naysayers will at least open their minds a bit now that it came from the Master...
regarding possible settlement...many here have thought that a settlement would not happen until they hit the courthouse steps. I understand that those were just opinions based on the experience of several attornies I never ASSUMED it would happen that way with IDCC. I keep telling myself that anything can still happen between now and May in regards to a settlement. I would think that it would be possible that Judge Lynn thought they were very close to a settlement that she would give them a little more time to work it out. It just seems if they were THAT close they wouldn't need 3 months to work out those final details. I would think that if she just gave them an extra 30 days it may be enough to get them moving. Stayed tuned to the saga that is "Day's of Our IDCC Lives"
