It's great that IDCC is stockpiling patents...........now if they can just figure out how to get paid accordingly. JMO
You got that right, Mickey. I also like this steady rise in share price. 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I'll take that any day.
You got that right, Mickey. Longs can only go to zero. For shorts the sky is the limit.
I was simply concurring with you when you said: "On the flipside: you don't seem to point out the negatrons very much. "
Regarding the bricks, I don't recall who it was, but someone here kept referring to "baking more bricks". I'll do a search to see if I can find the posts. That said, I'll be holding my shares of IDCC until the shareprice matures to what it should be, which is far north of $25. hth
IMO, all IDCC shareholders are optimistic about our future. Heck, I recall someone here even talked about baking bricks. I never did understand his logic.
Mickey, I'm sure most of us are still vested in IDCC. However it seems as though we have reached a lull in activity regarding any news. Also seems that every topic has been discussed and discussed again. I think everyone is waiting for IDCC to file a appeal on Nokia. JMO
Slightly OT,
Global warming (if it exists) is exactly that. "Global" warming. It does no good if the US is alone in the effort to curb emissions in the atmosphere. It takes global effort for this to succeed. I don't see this happening anytime soon.
So in the meantime why not tap into our own oil reserves? It only makes sense, or cents depending how you look at it.
I couldn't agree more. This forum use to be the best, most informative stock forum around. Now.............it's becoming more like a school yard.
Why can't everybody treat everybody else with respect? M3S, please grow up and get off this "conspiracy" crap. Everyone doesn't have to agree on everything, just be respectful.
Jimlur/Mickey,
I wonder what a newbie will think about you guys taking shots at each other over such petty issues. Especially Jimlur as you are suppose to be our leader and an example to follow.
Please stop the food fight!
I agree. Mickey never attacks anyone unless he is provoked. I'm sure quite a few IHUB members have Mickey "people marked". I know I do.
I noticed the discrepancy too Mickey. IMO it should be acceptable to attack the POST, not the POSTER.
Thanks Jim. I'll mark that date in my planner.
I was wondering about that too. Does anyone remember the deadline for filing the appeal?
Fish, your response to Mickey is a likely scenario. Very sad but true! It appears to me that management is one dimensional.....and self-serving. What incentive is there for management to distribute profits to shareholders? Hopefully shareholders will use "strength in numbers" at the next election.
I have not always been bitter towards management, but how much $$$$$ will it take before they are done reaching into our pockets?
My bad. I saw it posted on the premium board, but not here. If I am wrong and the link was previously posted here..............well, I doubt it hurts to read it twice.
Is it my imagination or are there lots of people here walking on eggshells? Come on guys, lighten up.
This is from the premium board.
Nasgovitz talks about IDCC:

Wsatitagain, name-calling is not permitted here. I believe you broke the TOS. Btw, do you mind sharing what position you have in IDCC? Your posts indicate that a short position.
Mickey, I hope you don't mind if I borrow something from you. At these prices, IDCC IS A SCREAMING BUY!
Looks like IDCC investors are coming back to reality. Now only down about 35 cents after more than a million shares traded.
Down 3%........whats up with that? Sheesh, guidance wasn't bad, not bad at all.
No doubt about it. IDCC has been a traders dream stock. Unfortunately I have just bought and held over the years.
"If you can't see the difference in this company as whole from just two short years ago then you are blind."
Please look below and tell us the difference.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=IDCC&t=2y&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=
Near as I can tell it's about 50 cents per share.
"my agenda is to ride this rocket
to the moon........."
And how is that agenda working out for ya?
IMO, everyone here is waiting for the same rocket to take off. Why is it that a company that has almost half it's shareprice in cash can't create a marketing strategy to enhance value to the shareholders? It's apparent that most members of this forum have been invested in IDCC for many years based on promises by the likes of Howie Goldberg...........you recall the engine & transmission and calculator with many zeros comments. How many times have we heard "buying opportunity" over the past many years.
My only question is, is it possible that the company has out-grown the management? Does IDCC need a more dynamic PR dept? Is it possible we need new blood in the COB position? With $10 in cash and a $22 shareprice, these questions are valid. THE ABOVE IS JUST MY OPINION.
My 3 sons, would you mind divulging who this "big money company" is? Inquiring minds want to know.
Fish, many of us here on IHUB sent emails to Janet after the CC. I have not heard of any responses from her.
"my questions again plus 1
1. Do you think complaining on a message board effects the share price?
YES, especially if what Jimlur says is true that analysts read this forum.
2. Do you think complaining on a message bord helps your understanding of the company, the industry, or te markets?
SAME ANSWER AS #1.
3. Do you think posting on a message board will influence how a company is run.
SAME AS ANSWER #1.
We know what Bill N. (a big shareholder with influence) would do with the cash--have we seen any change in the company's action? Perhaps it is to soon to tell but IMO we will not because IMO the company has plans for that money
."
You are entitled to your opinion regarding how IDCC will spend the cash..........as are others that post here. Btw, if you think message boards have zero influence on stocks, WHY DO YOU POST HERE?
Once again, not trying to start a pissing match, but won't be forced to your way of thinking either.
What happened to Mickey? I'd like his perspective on this topic.
Maybe you could be a little more specific in your questions. Maybe I'm the one who is dumb and stupid and didn't comprehend your questions.
Not trying to start a pissing matching. Just trying to make sense of why management is getting rich while shareholders flounder in a stagnant shareprice.
"MY TURN
1. DO YOU THINK PEOLE COMPLAINING CONSTANTLY ON A MESSAGE BOARD HELP, HURTS, OR HAS NO EFFECT ON THE SHARE PRICE?
2. DO YOU THINK PEOLE COMPLAINING CONSTANTLY ON A MESSAGE BOARD HELPS YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE OMPANY, THE INDUSTRY, OR THE MARKETS?"
To answer both questions with one answer: This message board consists of shareholders whose ownership when combined would be a substantial amount of voting power. I think there are many shareholders that lurk here without ever posting but are influenced by the expertise of Loophole, Rmarchma and many others that are having second thoughts about our inept upper management. Strength is in numbers. Combine this with the likes of Bill Nazgovitz and other fund managers/analysts and you have the strength to remove the leeches. JMO
Sailfree, if you don't mind my asking, are you happy with the shareprice of IDCC? Are you happy that the ONLY ones who are getting rich are the BOD and management? Our fundamentals are much better than they were 10 years ago yet the shareprice remains about the same. I for one am not happy. This doesn't mean I want to sell my shares. It simply means I'm not happy with Harry and his cronies. This is just my opinion!
Finally, an investor with reason. Nice post and I sadly agree with you!
When a sports team does poorly, the team doesn't get fired. The coach gets canned. Our team needs a new coach.
Ummm, what the hell are you talking about? Please be specific.
Yep, share price just seems to keep climbing regardless of market movement. Maybe word is out that IDCC has great fundamentals. Almost $10 a share in cash...........not too shabby!
Nic, a similar thing happened with Tiger Woods. I remember seeing Woods on Johnny Carson when he was 5 or 6 years old. He had a great golf swing at a very young age. The rest is history. This young girl will probably be a household name as she approaches adulthood. The word "prodigy" comes to mind.
Great post Jim whether OT or not. There's hope for mankind after all.
Great post Jiff. Sad but still a very good post.
Sad but true, Felix. Crookery is rampant on Wall Street as evidenced by some insider trading. The timing is NO coincidence. The SEC is spread too thin to effectively enforce the regs. And then there's the bonuses.......that's a topic for another day.
Yes sir, the Yankees are the best team that money can buy.
Another post well worth recommending. Good post Jai.
Good post Mickey. I wish this board had the "recommendation" feature because I would have recommended this post. Kudos!
