The trading pattern seems to be the same each time they release their earnings statements no matter what is in the statement. I guess I just need to learn that lesson sooner or later.
W T F !
thanks ol' dog
...just trying to scare up some positive hope

It looks like some substantial after hours buying -- 85K +
?
Ah hah! There is a perfectly good explanation for the run up on no news.
I sold some covered calls yesterday morning.
Now they are going for over twice as much.
Yup, that's the way I roll!
Is there some reason or excuse for today's beating?
Have I missed an IDCC news release or insider sales?
TIA
Looks like someone is expecting a "miss" in the earnings report or it is the usual "head fake" to acquire shares.
I can't know.......but have been here many times before.
To all the faithful longs; Good luck for tomorrow.
Depending on who supplies the machinery, maybe there is something in this technology for IDCC too.
Citing the potential to reduce roadway crashes, the Department of Transportation (DOT) has proposed rules that would mandate the use of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology on all new U.S. light-duty vehicles.
The agency proposes that V2V devices use dedicated short-range communications to transmit data such as location, direction and speed to nearby vehicles. That data would be updated and broadcast up to 10 times per second to cars and trucks in close proximity.

March 90 calls: bid 30, ask 55, open interest 88, no volume yet today
I see the result but could someone please explain (in simple layman terms) what actually took place from the opening until now?
Who was forced to sell and who was forced to buy to cover their margin requirements?

After hours 250k + is a big trade. Too bad it is at the low.
Riding this roller coaster of despair and then elation for over twenty years now. I swore I would be out by now but no, I still hang on to hope.
Why?
Any opinions on today's slaughter?
Thnx Gamco.
I guess the last paragraph of the Dougherty report threw me off for a minute.
Happy New Year to all and let's hope this is the one that makes our fortunes for us.
Doc
Has the dividend increase to $.20 per share per quarter been previously reported here?
If not, congrats to all longs.

That is some serious outlay of cash.
I buy and sell options on IDCC.
I'm curious about how you decide which options to buy/sell.
These March 35's are deep in the money. Are they less risky or a better payoff?
Are you planning on exercising the calls and picking up the shares at that price?
Just wondering how you decide where to get in?
Thanks in advance.
doc
Finally! An explanation of the function of some of these products/patents that a layman such as myself can understand. This makes the fight much clearer to me and hopefully those that must decide the infringement details.
Thanks m3sns for getting this info out here.

I just noticed 1600 Sept 55 call options traded today. Does somebody know something more than we know?
Oh ya, of course "they" do.
Income statement out on Yahoo finance (apologies if this was already posted).
Amazing...over 3000 April 30 call contracts traded so far with 14,000 open interest. Somebody seems to believe (or know) that this stock price per share is going to be near or over $30 in about a week. I hope it happens for whatever reason.
O.T. I sure do admire everyone who stays on board this roller coaster. The stock price is soundly punished for any bit of negative press and nearly ignored for any positive information. The mental ups and downs just to be moderately invested in this company are challenging to say the least. If we didn't really believe in their products, this torture would have cleared out the ranks of old hands a long time ago. My hat is off to all that contribute and persevere because I sure as h*ll need the moral support.
Seems to be our typical pre option expiration manipulation antics. You can just about set your watch by it.
Any theories on why we are being beat up today?
Good luck with your surgery. I know it is a painful recovery( I had metal put in my back last year) but over time it does seem to get better.
Most of the day we had more buyers than sellers and that is a good thing.
Hopefully, by the time you are back on your feet this stock will have roared to life and reward us all.
Sure makes one wonder who is really manipulating this stock. Is it people on the other side of the fence who are selling short on the spikes and buying back on the dips ? Done enough times over a period of time can pay alot of bills (million shares @ $1.00 difference). Or is it people on our side of the fence buying and selling to pay their costs? It doesn't seem to be just news that drives these swings in price. Where are they getting the shares to sell short if we are not turning ours loose? Could it be institutions playing with all these shares or lots of naked shorts with lots of failures to deliver? Little jumps up and large falls down appear to be unbalanced in movements.
I'm not usually one to be a conspiracy theorist but this sure looks like a concerted effort by someone or something with a lot of power and influence to make sure this stock does not perform like we expect. Todays events certainly seem suspicious to me. But...who am I; just one of the little guys trying to protect some of his retirement plans.
I hope that the reason I'm in this stock prevails in the end and overpowers those that play this just as a game to beat us out of a relatively small amount of money. Ok...no real information here. Just another rant. Good luck to all, because we need it ! I'm done.
Looks like we are getting our obligatory beating for having a little hope. We are all used to this by now. Balls-o-steel... gentlemen !
Whew......that was fun ! Seldom a dull moment with this one.
Need "balls-o-steel" to ride this stock.
Looks like we got a nice bump up after hours. My level 2 shows 200 shrs @ 19.10. If that is correct does anybody know of any reason for that to happen ?
I was one of those buyers.
I've been wanting "in" this one for months. Instead of buying at yesterday's price and watching it fade to today's price (my usual), I waited until this morning and pulled the trigger. Got in cheap. Somebody's pain is someone else's pleasure. This is a good company with a good product and won't stay down very long.
thx fellas. My feelings too. I know it's going up but just don't know when. Been waiting 15 years so ..what's the hurry eh?
should i exercise Jan $20 calls or sell 'em cheap? any thoughts?
