Is this the "Daily Morning Rant" ???
Fish, Your right on all your points!! Also after you have been in IDCC for over 25 years it's like a cult or something, can't quite 100% get away. LOl Take care, hrbart
Mickey you said something I can agree with, "I go back to the old scenario of follow the money and the big money is invested in IDCC and they are invested for a reason."
One month ago PPS was over $90 -now $81 10% drop, it seems the big
money is leaving, 10% drop is not progress.
Hey Fish hope all is well with you and yours, moved to mount prospect closer to Grand Victoria LOL
I think IDCC has seen close to its peak, markets will drop,wish you well!! Stay solvent !!
"its Always about "the Next news"...isn't it..."
Jeffree, for over 25 years. I'm afraid our run is over, I will sell on any up on PPS, the only thing I regret I never had a chance to play poker with Mickey! Wish you well Mickey, get well! Hrbart
Jeff, you said "I'd like to see the dividend grow to $2/shr. annually...
That would help to create a $100 SP base, imo...
IDCC does have the cash to do it"
I agree with you, problem is Mgt believes They OWN the company
and deserve All the spoils the company produces, shareholders
are just a pain in the a** who have to be pacified occasionally, they do not want to give up any of the bucks, how would they give themselves bonus if they give up the $$$$ !
Fish, so when all is said and done I probably should take back that calculator with all those Zero's probably won't be needing it!
"SO, overall, it is a victory, albeit a small one and not 3 billion like you claim was due to IDCC"
Still better than a stick in the eye!! GLTA
Hi Fish, "We always looked forward to getting the Sears catalogs, especially the Christmas edition, in the olden days."
And thats the truth, You could bring them out to the outhouse read the latest "stuff" and then have other uses for the pages in the catalog ! LOl
Volume under 200K & were down almost 4% - does not make sense, almost down 8% in two days again on low volume, why? something stinks in Denmark!!
When I wrote that post @ 2:29 there were under 200k traded, I commented not a lot of volume, but good PPS & CC !! Sorry I
Did not break out my Pom Poms like some, keep your turds to yourself!
DWS, If you Actually read my post I said I was happy with the outcome but would like to see more volume to confirm the street was aware of our great quarter, how that relates to "Thanks for throwing the turd in the punch bowl!" I'm not sure??
Happy with PPS after earnings and CC are out there, but with all this info we have traded under 300k shares. We need more interest & to hold our increase PPS.
"impressive, hrbrt and mister must be very happy!"
Well I'm impressed, best action on earnings in quite awhile!
Perhaps were finally getting some respect, looking forward to
CC !! Up 4% hope we increase after our call!! GLTA Hrbart
Bonus-Bonus -Bonus
After all they invented the tax cut !! LOl
"I think that as far as IDCC goes with the tax changes, it is a
wait and see scenerio."
I agree, no one knows exactly were this change is going, can only
hope, but some say " Don't confuse me with facts I have already
got my mind made up!"
"I would see a real 'PANIC' if someone like BlackRock decided to liquidate 1 million shares via the normal trading means."
Fish you got that right so let's hope that never happens !!
If we can go down a buck or so on only 70-80 thousand shares,
would not be good for one of the big boys giving up on us!!
GLTA hrbart
Nice move on PPS, would like to see Volume start increasing.
As the topic of price going up until CC & then dropping. I agree
that has been the the norm & will probably be the same this year
but Yet I'll bet very few on this board will sell. It's an addiction! GLTA Hrbart
Fish, call me a sceptic (Which I am) or perhaps my Chicago background (Vote Early & often) but the idea that our vote is really counted is doubtful. The idea of voting out anyone in mgt. is highly unlikely!
"We will get to do that pretty soon."
I don't think so. GLTA Hrbart
"how many millions in litigation cost! Where's the engine and the transmission? "
I'm with you, they all got there sweet bonus's & all I have is a calculator that has ALL those ZERO's & it does not look like I need it !!
Maybe they will change the name Again, IMM,IMMC,IDC,IDCC maybe one more change will do it?
Better yet, perhaps a change of Management would Help, I vote for that!!!!
GLTA Hrbart
Fish, "They stay plugged in and fully charged whether they sell or not! "
Not under my administration, I turn UP their power each week when there are no orders until they just burn out & Recycle !!
Burn Robbie Robot, Burn!! LOL
"Anyone care to speculate potential for impact of this development to IDCC?"
Can't help with that but with Mickey's comment about robots we could save lot's & lot's of money Replacing our outstanding License division with robots, they could not do worse, probably much better and they do not get any bonus for work not done!!
"I'm an old-timer who got a third shaved on sell orders at a good price, but I regret it because we're going much higher."
Why not buy that third back at a lower price? I'm retired & can always use some money not promises. I also believe the market is prime for a correction, perhaps a major pullback, we shall see.
No complaints, made a lot of money with IMM, IMMC,IDC, IDCC it has
been good to me. GLTA
Hi Fish, Sold before end of the year, thought there were going to
be a lot of sellers looking for a exit after the first. Missed a number of times to get out at a good price, did not want to miss this time, choose to pay the taxes. Still have a token amount of
shares but missed selling my options (March 90s) because of GREED.
Good Luck to you Fish and all longs! Hrbart
I think a lot of "old timers" have learned their lesson "Trick me once, shame on you, trick me twice, shame on Me"
Sold and moved on, last drop did it, sure killed the options.
I still hold some for old time sake but a lot less than in the
past. I wish all longs nothing but good Luck in PPS & their
health. Hrbart
A pps of $90+ would even be better!! Need some help from Mgt. to beat $90, wake up over there in the break room !!
Options ex on Friday, could be quite a squeeze closes past $90 !
Maybe I'm just begging. lol
The $64,000 question, will we be above $90 by options ex next Friday. I think we need some "Help" from our Slick Mgt. team to make it.
My best to you Mickey, your in my prayers.
GLTA hrbart
"but I think the days of big swings and years to recover are over."
Stick around awhile & you will see this company has quite a history big swings, same company-same management. Hope we have the real deal and there will be no swings after this one but don't bet the farm on that !! GLTA
Again Low volume, interest is not at "Peak" level. Hope we can
get above $93 before March options, not betting more money on that.
GLTA Hrbart
Nice move today, more upward movement tommorow, PPS $110 by Friday, would not want to be short on this one, too many believers!!
I keep buying (small chunks) but it keeps going down, obviously nothing to exciting on CC.
Unable to get CC, anything Good going on? TIA
Go Get em !! I'm with you!!
OPTIONS in play, could hit $104.50 today!!
"InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC) was upgraded by Zacks Investment Research from a “strong sell” rating to a “hold” rating in a research note issued on Tuesday."
Paulle, I think we need to have a sit down with "Mr.Zack" and our analyst Mickey & see who comes out of the room walking!! LOL
PS Get well Mickey, we need you at your fighting weight!!
Been a nice trip with you Data !! Wish you nothing but the best!!
Hrbart
"HOUSTON 100!!!" Long time in the coming, but very welcome move!!
We were looking for Houston 100 many years ago, nice to see it finally here!! GLTA Hrbart
"OT: I sold Nvidia way too soon"
I hope your right (way too soon) just bought some @ $113 LOL
They are definitly leaders, what a earnings report!
"I keep revising my parameters for the exit strategy."
I also keep on revising, I say "Greed is Good" !!!!!
GLTA hrbart
Pretty Darn Good !! Not one puck got by him or her !! LOL
