That was a wild ride!
I do read this right, Demand for stock, low float?
Isn't this split a good thing?
Breakout!!
Thanks for the link. Where did you find it? This thing is going to blow up!
I thought the Beacon report was a fairly balanced perspective.
The wall street co. is what it is paid advertisement. Which is fine it gets the name out there. Good chatting with you, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
I think if they can handle the growth properly. This could be the investment that you dream of. Did you read the research report?
The guy from the community center said his reason for finding this company was because of the rebate PSNH offered for using light harvesting tech.
Thanks for the reply. I just got off the phone with a guy that had this product installed at his community center. It was interesting to hear his comments. The product seems to have unlimited potential and seems to sell itself.
Good question, do you know the requirements that they would have to meet? This stock does look to have unlimited potential.
Average share price for the current buyback is 23.36. Money in the bank
That is how to treat a "hangover".
I think Jagfn had a rumor the day before the LG deal. I thought it was a QCOM buyout for like $35. Does anyone recall the date, or the specifics?
TIA
Thanks Jim, would you mind asking?
JimLur, have you, or anyone else asked the company why we have no press release?
Legal question, Did IDCC have to grant this timeline that was agreed upon? I would have loved for them to say, file your own motion and we are going forward with our motion to enforce!
TIA
Stocks Set to Open Down on London Blasts

Stocks Set to Open in a Steep Decline After London Explosions; Dow Futures Down 138 Points
NEW YORK (AP) -- U.S. stock futures are in a steep decline Thursday morning after reports of subway and bus explosions in London.
Dow Jones futures were recently down 138 points, while Nasdaq futures are off 22 points and S&P futures were down 17.10 points.

Near simultaneous explosions rocked the London subway and three double-decker buses at the morning rush hour Thursday, police and news reports said, injuring some people and prompting officials to shut down the entire Underground transport network. Some media reports said there were fatalities.
The explosions came a day after London was awarded the 2012 Olympics and as the G-8 summit was getting under way in Scotland. Initial reports blamed a power surge, but officials weren't ruling out an intentional attack. Shares on the FTSE 100 are trading 3.2 percent lower, to 5062.2, on the news.
In Japan, the Nikkei 225 Stock Average ended down 0.1 percent to 11590.14, as declines in U.S. stocks Wednesday prompt profit-taking in economy-sensitive stocks like retailers and food makers.
In corporate news, UnitedHealth Group Inc. said it agreed to acquire PacifiCare Health Systems Inc. for $8.11 billion in cash and stock, the latest in a buying spree that is remaking the nation's second-largest health insurer into a bigger, more diverse player in an industry facing major changes. The deal would add PacifiCare's 3 million health-plan members to UnitedHealth's 23 million, and bolster UnitedHealth's position in two growing markets: California and seniors covered by Medicare. PacifiCare also provides specialty benefits, such as vision and dental benefits, to millions of other people.
After the bell Wednesday, late traders weren't impressed with Starbucks Corp. as it posted a 7 percent increase in June same-store sales. Similarly, a 28 percent advance in same-store sales for American Eagle Outfitters Inc. wasn't enough to spur an afterhours rally in its shares.
Alcoa Inc., the world's largest aluminum company, kicks off the second-quarter earnings season Thursday when it reports after the stock market closes. Analysts expect the Pittsburgh company to report earnings of 45 cents a share compared with 46 cents a hare a year earlier.
Stocks fell Wednesday as the price of oil hit a fresh high in a session that featured acquisition-related activity involving PacifiCare Health Systems, Amvescap Inc. and Zions Bancorp. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 101.12 points, or 0.97 percent, to 10270.68; the Nasdaq Composite Index fell 10.10, or 0.49 percent, to 2068.65; and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index dropped 10.05, or 0.83 percent, to 1194.94.

Wilco, keep it up. I like it, so do others. It expresses many of our feelings after another day of waiting. I like it even more that it bugs dmiller.
Joe Stocks, thanks for the contributins to this board. I agree with your price target but think it will be achieved a little sooner.
Half you guys complaining were begging the last 2 days for an update from the company. That's what they did...no news yet. Nothings changed.
last, well said i hope everyone writes a similar mail this morning.
Last, we should not have to call for ourselves. The company needs a press conference today!
What is an internal draft award?? please
Bobsil, I couldn't agree more.
Nice job Jimlur, thanks.
jaykay, thanks for your time.
jaykay, does that seem odd given yesterday's 8k?
The Date of May 31
It is very close to the timeframe that Nokia agreed to extend IDCC's response on the 3g lawsuit (90) days. Does anyone think there is something to that? Or is it just another coincidence? Any insight or comments would be appreciated.

Calpine (CPN, Trade), which operates energy generating plants, said late Friday that the previous purchaser of privately placed debt has exercised the right to buy $250 million more 4 3/4 percent convertible notes, due 2023. The conversion rate is $6.50 per share, a 38 percent premium to Calpine's stock price on Nov. 6, 2003, when the original placement closed.

Lyondell Chemical (LYO, Trade), which has been a manufacturer of the troubled gasoline additive MTBE, released its 2004 capital budget late Friday that was nearly halved from its estimated 2003 expenditures. Including partnerships, Lyondell said it projected $226 million in spending, down from $443 million. The biggest drop comes in the intermediate chemicals and derivatives division, which drops from $339 million to $69 million. Lyondell spokeswoman Susan Moore said the lower number results from the completion of a chemical plant in the Netherlands that started up in December. The company's Equistar chemical operations will increase spending from $108 million to $148 million, partly to comply with stricter emission controls near Houston.
Seitel (SEIEQ, Trade), which provides seismic data for energy exploration, said late Friday it has a funding commitment from HBV Mellon Alternative Strategies LLC to buy up to $75 million or the reorganized company if warrant-holders do not exercise rights to buy shares. A bankruptcy court hearing is scheduled for Jan. 30 on the disclosure, with a March 9 hearing set on approving a reorganization plan.

In exchange for the shares it holds, WRP Asia Pacific would receive WRP Corp.'s 70 percent ownership of an Indonesia glove-maker and forgiveness of all WRP Asia Pacific debt owed to WRP Corp.

S&P comments on Calpine Corp's credit quality
Tuesday November 11, 12:22 pm ET
(The following statement was released by the rating agency)
NEW YORK, Nov 11 - Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said today that Calpine Corp.'s (NYSE:CPN - News; B/Negative/--) completion of a $140 million, 15-year term loan for its 300 MW Blue Spruce Energy Center located in Aurora, Colo. does not materially affect the company's credit quality. The new financing replaces an existing construction loan, which the company entered into in August 2002. Therefore, the financing alleviates some refinancing pressure on Calpine, but does not increase the subordination of bondholders to project level debt. Calpine sells the full output of the plant to Public Service Co. of Colorado under a 10-year tolling agreement. The Blue Spruce Energy Center began operations in April 2003.

Virginia Regulators Clear Dominion Plan to Buy 240 MW Plant
The Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) recently issued an order that will allow Dominion to move forward with its acquisition of the 240 MW Gordonsville power station in Virginia from subsidiaries of Calpine Corp. and Edison International.
Under terms of the deal, Dominion will pay approximately $52 million in cash, as well as pay off the facility's long-term debt, associated agreements and costs of approximately $98 million (see Power Market Today, Aug. 5). The oil- and natural gas-fired combined-cycle facility is located in Louisa County, VA.
Dominion's Dominion Virginia Power subsidiary in August filed an application with the SCC seeking the issuance of a certificate to operate the power plant once the transaction is completed. The application also sought any other approvals needed in order for the utility to buy and operate the power plant.
The SCC, in an Oct. 31 order, granted Dominion Virginia Power a certificate to acquire and operate the plant. "We find that the transfer of the facility will have no material adverse effect upon reliability of electric service provided by any regulated public utility," the state commission said.
The SCC also said that the transaction will not have a negative impact on retail competition in Virginia or on Dominion Virginia Power's retail rates.
All of the facility's generation is currently sold to Dominion Virginia Power under a 30-year power purchase contract, which will be terminated at closing. As a cogenerator, the facility also supplies steam to Rapidan Services, the local water authority, under a long-term steam sales agreement. Under Dominion's ownership, the facility will continue to serve Dominion Virginia Power's native load.
Along with the SCC, the transaction is subject to regulatory approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act.
plmr thanks for stopping in the fun part starts in less than 24 hours. See if you can do some recruiting for me. I would love to see the meaningful posters from yahoo over here. Sometimes though, I think they enjoy the banter over there.
Thanks lets hope we can get it off the ground. That yahoo board is terrible. Those with anything worthwhile to say are drowned out by nonsense.
One more question, What does 2x 2010 ebitda from marsalas report mean? Also is he saying .04 cents is all we make for the rest of the year? Mschere is guessing we beat that this quarter.
Once again TIA
Question, Did Marsala downgrade us to sell as well? He must of if the price is above his "new target". Does anyone have this report? From stong buy to sell, and lower target price prior ERICY, something just doesn't smell right. TIA
Revlis,
Last post on this issue from me, You are full of it if you say you knew about this issue. I got what I wanted from Jim which was an explanation. I would have been concerned if Jim didn't reply. I did not invest because of him. However his boards, untill recently were a safe haven for good information on IDCC. Which is the reason I am done discussing this with you. I don't expect him to reply to every attack (Once) but this was a particularly alarming post that I wanted an explanation to.
Good luck to you.
Revlis,
In the mean time I have real money invested and don't like to see these attacks go with no response. Not being familiar with that issue I wanted it adressed. Which Jim did quite nicely.
