For anyone who interest in mutual fund investment or IRA. This is the best organization to invest with. It is non profit Organization with the lowest expense ratio in the industry. They just offer mutual fund to public only a few years ago. They did have a lot of experience in managing for college and university retirement for a long time. I am very satisfy with their performance. I do not have money in this mutual fund. However they manage my retirement fund (which is not same as mutual fund but similar in nature). It is TIAA-CREF. If you want to play individual stock, you can not invest in TIAA-CREF. On my regular investment account. I invest in regular stock so I could not invest in TIAA-CREF mutualfund.

We suppose to get revenue of all 3G device. However I don't think we will see the money until they sign ..... Who know when.
If IDCC could license Motorolla, IDCC would get respected it deserve. Street will award minimum $10 over the news instantly.
Last time I looked at it when it included GS dated 12/31/06 and GS was the top holding. It was 54%.
Now updated GS was omitted and shown status as of 9/30/06
OT : No selling at least for now. I am just trying to add position little by little over time. One of those day, I guess I have to sell some when I need money for family, time to enjoy life and/or IDCC is fully value. I just don't know when. I had been been in IDCC for a long time. Promise new car for family when we got $50 (only 1000 shares to let go). I guess I have to keep that promise to sell some.
I must be lucky man today. I sold PUT35 and expected to be PUT to me sooner or later. Since I don't think it would be PUT to me any longer with IFX/Samsung news with IDCC inside. I then set to buy at $35 and did not expected to get it. I was surprised to come back from meeting and saw price shot up and my buy order of $35 was executed earlier at 10:00 AM.
Institutional Ownership: 52.1% as of now without GS reporting as of yet

I understand that issues perfectly. There always new short replacing the old short. I agree with that. Old short cover. New short initiate. Old short got burnt (and cover). New short come in. I understand short is part of the process which I don't care. It give market more liquidity. Some think it go up while other think otherwise that why we have trade. Same like long getting nervous when bad news. Short getting nervous when good news. That it.
Short getting nervous with GS news
I believe so. GS increase holding is a great news to share holders. I thought share would be around her for a while while I sold PUT 35. Instead of waiting shares to be PUT to me (see unlikely now), I may have to go out in the market to buy more instead of (unlikely) waiting it to be PUT to me.
Yes. You are right. I confused with this one which is Feb. 5, 2007
InterDigital Communications Corporation (Nasdaq:IDCC), y announced that the company's executives will present at the Thomas Weisel Partners Tech 2007 Conference. The presentation will take place on Monday, February 5, at 2:05 p.m. Pacific Standard Time from the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, CA.
It is Pacific time zone (which is 5:00 PM EST)
OT : A lot of people may not post that much but I (like most others) read every day. So don't turn out the light yet. Most still here and read.
I think he (Jimlur) only sold his trading shares per his friend chart. He still have his core position in IDCC. He made a mistake on that trading. But it is OK to me to do that.
Yes. Take care hand that fed you in good time and bad time. Hope they (LG) have a good business and prosper even we might not get extra money. Have a high morale. I will look into LG product more and more in the future. Without LG sign up last year. I don't know where IDCC stock price would be. I appreciate their running honest business.
Actually they did make money in finance their car than making on building their own car.

InterDigital Congratulates Infineon on Powering the Newly Launched GPRS/UMTS 3G Handsets from Panasonic
Right on :
Why are they continue complaining about IDCC not performing? I feel so lucky I still have my stock from $5 (I think lowest point was around 9/11/2001 around $4.50). That is 7 times value in about 5 years. Compare to other Nasdaq stock, IDCC perform real well. I must confess I made a fortune on this one. Plus a lot of extra cash coming in (most of the time) from selling Naked PUT which normally expire worthless. I used that cash buying more stock. I confess I had made six figures this year in profit (that include paper profit up to date) on regular account alone.
ITC in this case is International Trade Commission. Nothing to do with ITC of IDCC
I did bought 100 contact Dec.40 CALL when IDCC was 25 at about 50 cents ($5k total). Now sold all calls for nice profit. December time value begin to decay fast now and we may not have new 3G licenses until next year. Without 3G insight $40-50 is too hard to come by. You never know when IDCC could surprise us. Still keep shares. Keep shorted PUT in tact since time decay on is working on my flavor.
If they do have that law, I do not think it would effect IDCC. IDCC has tons of cash. I think they care for themselves more. Chane of underfund pension is low (which I do not believe IDCC have pension system). I think IDCC has 401K plan type (defined contribution) not pension system(defined benefit).
Do you having 750 Naked PUT contract (75,000 shares) at one time? I guess you must be multi-millionairs. To be able to write that many contracts, it would require a lot of margin power. I have naked PUT between 60-80 contracts at any given time with account value about $250k in regular account. Not too over extend margin power. I hope you did not get in trouble when 10 points drop in July. During that day my loss was $80k+. I guess your lost that day was almost a millions.
I don't know why but INDEX including IDCC drop exact same time with Thai incident news. That is non-event to me. Actually this coup is welcomed in Thailand. Market is over reacted. IDCC then recover after that. Thai PM still stuck in New York. A lot of Thais (in New York) still protest against his corrupt government in New York. I guess he will stay in New York for a while.
It work fine.
If you own in money CALL option, You could exercise any day.
Why would you exercise anyway until last minutes since you would pay same price on last day?. It is already your stock why hurry. You probably want to exercise early if they have cut off date for dividend, etc.. That is not the case with IDCC.
Most option buyer probably close out their position and take their gain/loss rather than exercise. Some may have bought CALL 30 much higher than $2 (those when IDCC was $30-$35). They naturally want to close out the position to take loss rather than exercise in-money option.
One who bought 30 CALL option when IDCC was around $20 would get huge gain. They may close position too to take short term gain since they may not have money to exercise all call.
If I own call option in money today with no time value left, I normally close all position today. Get cash then buy stock right way whatever money coming in if I still like the stock.
I guess more than 50% of in money call would close position on the last day.
My educated guess (I may be wrong) : IDCC software price probably included with Infineon chip. If company did have 3G license with IDCC, IDCC would refund (or reduce rate to the rate included in chip) to that vendor. In that case It would give incentive to license company to buy from Infineon. Not that we get double payment.
Samsung can appeal whatever they want. However market already concluded that IDCC would WIN and got paid. The questions is during next few months. Could IDCC motivates Samsung (and/or other company) to sign for 3G? Share price will move with 3G license not with 2G money.
The best part of it.
"the Tribunal also determined that Samsung has not obtained the broader CDMA and 3G patent license rights in the Nokia agreement with InterDigital, notwithstanding Samsung's Most Favored Licensee (MFL) election in 2002 of the Nokia agreement"
*DJ InterDigital Sees 3Q Rev $67M-$68M
I don't see any problem! Anyone
Could you provide link to survey?
OT: Amount of loss, I could have paid off my mortgage with it plus new car.
OT: I do not think they would be allowed to do that. It just like hiding truth from investor. Public need to know what CEO do with their own stock while preaching and promoting stock.
Can you ride the SMALL margin call out since the stock rise today? The today rise in value is much more than to cover small margin. Thanks
OT: Maint. call -$2,491.51
Cash balance $80,145.99
First time ever got margin call even with that much cash in hand. I sold a lot of PUT that went under yesterday. If IDCC go up a little today, I should be OK. I will need to wait it out by day end Or I would to close some PUT (buy back).
