Shawn Ingram, The Street, article today on Yahoo news for Spherix explains about the patents from Rockstar and Harris...
Day three of conference, June 24, CEO speaks (Google search result):
Bubba still talks to him.
Also, Alibaba was going Roadshow after this filing to now they can't without exchange and symbol... It could be off for this year, maybe the greed of the investment bankers and exchanges or no rush of MA to own Yahoo .... it could be bleak if roadshow is cancelled... CNBC update us please.... lol (after y'all selloff your positions of course)...
The last 2 yrs Alibaba dropped IPO so with them not deciding on exchange and symbol... and MM dumping shares again last Tuesday double normal ... it's not a fantasy to bet on them backing out this year again even though they've filed.
It depends on what Ma and Son are doing... Can they get along being Chinese and Japanese?
Would the SEC go after them if the shorted and then dropped IPO?
Supposedly it dropped for blah blah reasons but someone is obviously targeting them for failure (two SEC filings, two dumps in Yahoo). It could put to rest by a news release, but again Ma already said he wanted to buyout Yahoo on CNBC early morning worldnews so he wants it to drop.
SPEX joining Russell Microcap Index June 27
SPEX deal with Rockstar Consortium (Microsoft, Apple, Ericcson, Sony and Blackberry) winning bid on Nortel Network patents sold in bankruptcy... to collect licensing and damages on those patents not already made deals with Rockstar (obviously).
Cisco insiders (9) listed in Barron's June 2 (page M14) dumping 66million worth of shares at a time CNBC was promoting them as good to go (Cisco suit filed in March by SPEX for damages).
Is Mr. Son and Softbank buying UBRG out for cash in/out flow of NDR?
I feel like Pearl Harbor again, sneak attack... shattering our plans for domination and telling them what to do... no they want to control us again... ARG.... oh well, I guess I can get over it this time...
iHub hint on news release the chart is live and we've already broke $2... Yahoo!!!!

Great news of a valid company, to all the ones thinking this was bogus.

I think BBRY has to find someone like Best Buy or WalMart to carrying a phone (a new pc too from BBRY would be great) with plans available with Verizon, AT&T, Sprint... who ever...
Oh, my! That reminds me WalMart was said on CNBC yesterday to be into online banking.... hmmm... maybe they're working on it.... doubt it... but now he can stick his foot in the door.
A few old farts and BBRY youthful lovers of the BBRY still have the BBRY but not widespread. When a big company starts carrying the phone its going up on announcement of deal...
Yesterday's news partial
I'd look at the recent grads list of law school's in Texas and make a deal with stock and board of director legal slot (lol) to some rich young graduate looking for a lot work to have case experience... Treaty might find a deal there, as they can't just ignore the case or they could get disbarred (if the make a deal for a set amount they still have to put the work in for proper representation.)
As an ex-bank data processing executive once pointed out to me, 'Everyone' falls for something once they've not experience before (or have knowledge of).
I don't know but let's for instance you have a line of credit at the bank so they're supposed to honor the checks to the line of credit (which they can withdraw at any time without notice... they told them by phone but forgot, that's not proper notice; for course, not honoring the check and causing problems ends up being a notice by default)... many reasons. In Texas, that could be why the RRC banned that check signer not believing their reasons, at least added to the reason, perhaps... speculations... it doesn't have to be an evil reason though it may look so.
Courts are funny, basically if you get a speeding ticket lets say and you go to court (have to ask for Jury or judge will not listen and just charge you) and the police/state trooper doesn't show to court because their sergeant wants them out on the routes .... properly done you can just not understand the charges and they have to dismiss the case (they'll lose in appeal if they don't and ruin their image for higher court appointments of not)... Explained in an out of print book, How To Out Fox The Foxes... but knowing a DA here in Texas he dismisses cases when the trooper doesn't show to court.
So they got their 10 day extension and are you hinting that they are not engaged in a reasonable resolution? It would just add to the plaintiff easy win if they were not close to a resolution now with that extension request. I bet its hard to find anything cheap in a post Katrina city that nobody wants to live in, because you'd have to gut out the home and replace everything from water damage... But nice info to know, thanks.
I've been meaning to looking into to this as it scrolls across CNBC at a score of minutes plus after close and the chart above in the header info shows sells sells sells then all uppers except second since then... I assume buys... whatever it is its green....
lol Now the pain of I could've got in on the dollar ago should I wait or should I go...
Since the same thing happened it looks planned running up before filing then dumping. Speculation could say Ma and/or Son trying to cause panic sells to load up on Yahoo since its no secret Ma would like to buy Yahoo.
If Ma is not responsible he needs to look into using different lawyers or group to put filing together and/or tell them its for like two weeks later but wants it by the 2 week earlier deadline to look it over real good (and then just file it instead of letting what nonsense is happening happen).
How do you control a culture that has historically been criminals making copyrighted knockoffs in CD's, movies, clothing.... What is the SEC planning on doing to what group is obviously buying up before and dumping afterward? ;p
JD IPO seemed to go so-so, there are factions anti-Chinese that were disrupting their IPO at the exchange. Perhaps they're part of the try to discredit Alibaba.
11main.com Alibaba owned company when does it open this is big too but been kept off the CNBC screen... why?

Yeah the price were high (but WFM is high) in the Lubbock area the wine area empty of people... at WFM in Albuquerque and Santa Fe the wine sections are packed and people buy lots of wine (like 60pct in checkout have wine sometimes if not more (the rush home 5-6 pm much higher percentage there so in Bible Belt country the wine sits so if you have hard to find wine at Sprouts but not at yours you might ask if they could ship it from other locations like Lubbock if they have it...
I got Kosher Swiss Cheese and Marinara sauce and just ate two Red Apple Cheese, Swiss Cheese melted between two Kosher flour tortillas quartered with spooning big spoon-fulls of The Silver Palate, San Marzano blend Marinara deluxe gold select... great meal both brands I got a Sprouts.
But I was there like around 10:30 -11 am so wine sells bad time...
The lady in bread area told me they had to wait on truck as I asked where the double chocolate muffins were and she did say they sold out fast... but they had other flavors that weren't selling. I see tat everywhere especially WalMart they try and dump the stuff that doesn't sell on you before putting up the stuff the flies off the ....
I just bought shares week before last Alibaba filing so this was the same up to about 37 then dropped just a day faster to 35 after a filing... Options don't always work out toward the days they move. Back in the 80's with the AL Williams craze it was shown by the AL Williams salesmen that stocks move up on certain days (I think even my Dean Witter stockbroker told me that 2 years after AL Williams) that you can try to guess the market (blah blah, I could write a book about the books and talks I've heard about... lol
The 9% shares of Alibaba being sold by Yahoo could be more than expected or misunderstood as I heard 40% of their Alibaba shares. So 9% of their 20% leaving 11% of Alibaba owned by Yahoo but maybe they jumped to conclusion they were only selling 9% of their shares which is 20% of Alibaba which is a lot less than 9% of Alibaba that they are selling. That's why they could get enlightened and we could close green to hear like past Telly Savales (Jennifer Anniston's godfather) say "You're beautiful, baby!"
My biggest afterthought last night was, "Okay, the lawyers and/or directors of Cisco know their doom. Oh! But does Spherix know they right method to achieve victory?"
Yes, they 9 insiders dumped Cisco in coordination with CNBC promoting Cisco (so it seemed from my knowledge the two were at the same time maybe) so speculatively ... still good chance that it was.... It can only be the suit as the CEO was on CNBC too recently I thought with only good outlook for them... the sell of 66 million worth of stock by 9 insiders worth more than 6 million more than the 60 million stock deal for the patent right delivery of money ... lol... come on... what else could it be?
Just hope they know how to win because they already think they've lost (by sell actions -speculation).
This peeved me last week and it still is after dumping it...
The Euro gained on the Dollar (USA) several times and once last at the end of a trading day (Wed. or Thur.) CNBC pointing out the Euro gaining big on the dollar that day so I just expected a currency conversion move up on ALU ADR shares... That day the Euro still gained but ALU and my other Euro dropped, the exact opposite of what should've happened. Just the conversion alone should've made the US shares higher. Very stressful since I got ALU as a network play so ejected and went to a bankrupt Nortel Network related networking patent play to put my hands in all networking not part of Rockstar Consortium (who bought the patents in out bidding Google - so missing out on anyone they made a deal with before 1/1/2014 but the rest have to payup so why not... maybe be back later this year after the conversion rate works itself out but this could only double without butout if lucky but the other could be many multiple gains just suits take time though). Any input on this will be considered if short term reason to stay here. I think it doesn't matter how the news is, they'll manipulate the share price for their investment that they think the can move the market with (like this dollar losing on Euro is bad for dollar but so what most of ALU money comes from other countries and some big deals in Europe recently - heck who knows maybe they invested against Euros like Greenpeace and lost money in options being greedy - happens in oil and gas all the time betting the wrong way against those in power and their position).
Yahoo could make me pretty by closing green... So I think there is a good chance of a green close today after sense sets in. There have been shorters waiting for anything to cause a panic and too many are in for big gains at these prices and don't want a BE sell today and see them chasing it later...
Personally, if I were a billionaire I'd buy up the entire float just based on the Cisco insiders selling. I don't imagine the deal with Rockstar allows one to buyout SPEX with a controlling interest (if it did Cisco could just buy it out thus lowering its cost by returning some of the fees back).
JP Morgan and Goldman can't always control things anymore as so many billionaires and billionaire funds can oppose their plans.
So whoever keeps shorting it or whatever many not be able to succeed. It's already below the 20 million deal funding cost of two per share... already nice return compare to the ones that slapped down 20 million loan.
Oh my... Cisco appears to have admitted loss, Barron's June 2 issue page m14 Insider Transactions, SALES, Cisco Systems (CSCO) has 9 insiders selling 2,749,022 shares valued 66,782,000...
This is big as I look at every issue for many of one company being listed in buys mainly and it is not that common to have so many eject or buy in the same reported period of this weekly newspaper magazine style.
I'm only guessing it has to do with settlement/liability to the so-called Nortel patents as there has been periods not too long ago (maybe a couple weeks) where CNBC was promoting CSCO (so if during the same period these guys dumping, it could be as I have suspected with ex-banking members as announcers its like another possible use of old friendships or worse). I've noticed how they say a company is cheap but to me seems overpriced (meaning has downside risk that could hurt)... but ... oh ... blah blahing again... sorry
For the last 2 months every time I went to buy Cisco I got this bad feeling something's up (without knowing about SPEX sued them) just a networking investment for the future expected epic increase in Internet usage from wearables and just plain ole automation, whatever...
Seems like this is a better play having a hand in a lot of networking stocks....
So big plays like Cisco win I would prefer one-time dividends sharing some of it (instead of just capital rise and backend deals we have no clue what they are... in other words, why not dividends instead of backend deals... too late now... oh well, at least they made a deal that seems pretty solid... CEO should explain the revenue stream available for us but its seems left open for making settlements out of court and licensing arrangements...)
I see a Intel. Prop. seminar a tax on the CEO's time. He can't legally tell them anymore than what's available for us to know. But with him speaking there its good acknowledgement of his and this companies likely success. So the invite could help as it gets closer and people start looking into it further. more blah, blah... too much nothing to do today by me... lol
Marked this to follow as Barron's article June 2... fund manager K. Scott and it basically looks flatline, strange in a building reboom (I thought) so it would be jeopardize by them exiting... this US leader in fasteners (screws/bolts) article by Amy Feldman...
10Q or any law suit dropped/came to an agreement notice (but I figure it'll be like 'came to an agreement which cannot be disclosed but will be reflected in earnings... blah blah) or more suits filed or Paul Allen named to board (just something that'll move price)... many possible things... but as some have tried to point out is who has been selling that's kept the price down (like those being sued maybe shorting to get them delisted from NASDAQ? $4/share minimum? There is not supposed to be too many shares and I have not tried finding out current O/S and don't know the $20 million deal but I doubt they're selling since their loan was supposed to be at $2/share, so probably dumping via share deals with law firms paying for suit is what has tried to be pointed out but it is pure guessing on anyone's part on this board).
Okay I wasn't going to answer but, hey, its a discussion board so why not... I'm wasn't worried, I just added more on Friday... like okay, since when has a patent from the US government not been upheld by the US government and what's the defendants defense? Gee, whiz judge... oh your honor, pardon me, but the patent was for Nortel and it was sold and we were not notified that it could still be valid... some nonsense that they tell the company sued that they could possibly win with (<2%) and delay it as they may go out of business... which is why the $20 million deal was so big... IMOOC (In My Opinion, Of Course)
Isn't extortion a Federal crime? Why would the Feds care when Maryjane is still a Federal crime? How could the Feds take an extortion case about an illegal activity to court, the judge would feel like he had My Cousin Vinny as an Assistant US Attorney before him... NUTS!
Atlanta and Laredo are double listed (are the ones I noticed flipping through real quick)...
This is bad for me and my mind... Lancaster doubled at end of list just like a couple apart. Oh my...
Arlington... looking to see how TX VA were diff... couldn't see
They have issues to resolve, like:
TheDirectory.com brought up the wrong city to search at, so fine I ignored it and overwrote the city with correct one... still searched on wrong city that it thought I was at (Yahoo movies got my city right, TV Guide and Zap2It got my city right but not TheDicrectory ... have to be able to override their bad guess at city, I assume it was a hop city as when one does a tracert.exe on it from shell mode the different hops might be the wrong city)...
The jobs link posted here... one cannot click on the TheDirectory logo and go to home page....
They're not ready for commercials (but probably has nothing to do with it).
I don't see how you could even estimate it as they are using partnerships/corporations setup to hide the deal info. from public eyes (i.e. just report revenue from the partnership)... a major reason why this is probably undervalued right now they can't put a value on it... so how is a fund manager going to risk buying this company shares?
I would assume every deal is different and not a menu price.
I would like to know what deal Google got with Rockstar or Nortel bankruptcy in order to bid, what are they paying?
Thumbs up in Middle East is bad thing ... American thumbs up means what it means...
US is overtaking the world in producing IRON pellets for them to pollute their skies with (from Natural Gas).
Google lost to Rockstar recent article on it doesn't even mention Spherix but IP co. (lol) What's up Doc?
Once depositions finish their lawyers will advise them of their doom, I doubt any outside firm will advise defendants to settle outside of court as they don't make money that way (they will "want to see the depositions" before forming an opinion - the lawyer jokes don't exist for no reason).
I'm expecting revenue from licensing this quarter. They are not going to press lease blah blah signed a deal... it'll just show on 10Q as income probably no details as the deal is sure to be confidential.
I found looking at their press releases they never PR'd they were being sued by those cable companies but PR'd it was dismissed.
We don't have long to wait for a quarterly and there are bound to be lots for shorters on the company shorting some more (see that they went up to 4.15 a oouple of weeks ago. They'll lose and they'll have to cover. Maybe BlackBerry in the Rockstar might be dumping their portion as they are trying to reinvent their company but none of the others would be.
Google could be jealous as they lost the bidding war for patents to Rockstar... don't know what happened their but someone is trying to keep SPEX share prices down.
Cisco, AT&T, Uniden, VTech, T-Mobile, Juniper & Huawei....
How much of Rockstar Consortium does BlackBerry have? There should be income coming in future from it.
Rockstar Consortium (Microsoft, Apple, BlackBerry, Sony and Ericson's) 4.5 billion acquisition of Nortel Networks patents (which Spherix (SPEX) got in the 60 million stock deal with backend fees from licensing) of patents covering the Internet voice and data transmissions. Spherix is now actively seeking damages or licensing (mainly) from Cisco, Juniper and other networking companies...
Don't think it'll stay low for too much longer once the quarterly comes out that starts showing income from licensing that they'll have to do or pay a lot more in damages in court (a whole lot more). Owning part of many Networking companies.... wow....
Best news release is a must read 03/31/2014
Standard Essential and other Nortel Patents Acquired from Rockstar in December 2013 Recorded at Patent Office
http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=61649418
American thumbs up for coal from Russian minister in June 10, 2014 news release.
He's comes across well in an interview from Bloomberg.com about getting the Rockstar Consortium (Microsoft, Apple, BlackBerry, Sony and Ericson's) 4.5 billion acquisition of Nortel Networks patents (which Spherix got in the 60 million stock deal with backend fees from licensing) of patents covering the Internet voice and data transmissions.
Risk needs to be looked at is they said Nortel Bankruptcy is still not completed (Jan. 2014) which may delay patent infringement suit but probably just adds to the cost of proof of patents clear from Nortel Bankruptcy, i.e.)
2,500 with total of 29,851 http://thestockmarketwatch.com/stock/stock-data.aspx?stock=SPEX&a=showFilings
Must be low salaried or not too much believing they'll win? At lease he purchased some...
But notice the chart that it went up to 4.00+ one time recently so maybe the other companies hedging or lawyers pocketing their win chances... Chart link
Look at the chart at the bar volume in same drawing of price and only until recently has there been big volume. So someone is dumping but someone is buying too as it would've crashed with just dumps.... very troubling strange as it was safe before now it looks like too many shares available... Chart link
Yahoo might try advertising on their own pages. I have yet to see the Katie Couric shows I thought sounded worth watching. I'm not going to do a search on it, and I'm not going much anywhere but finance.yahoo.com for ticker scroll of stocks I own and quick look at prices/trading without having to go to broker account.
Interesting as to whether I'll ever get to see the show. I used to go back to main page for a search then I saw the search web icon to the right of search finance and haven't gone back to main except to see movie listing at local showings....
Remember I even would like to see it.... hmmm... pretty lame on their part to not advertise their product on their pages...
Then from a company web site I clicked on a photo which linked to flickr and I couldn't see it... it wanted me to login... BS! uTube is successful because you can see the view at the link without logging-in or signing-up.... Oh, my! I have no idea if tumblr or screen or the rest make you sign up, except, ah, no... I could see SNL clips without signing up... that's good.
