To any and All......What would be the likelihood or reasoning for a possible delay in the January arbitration process? PLEASE NOTE THIS ISN'T THE CASE. I am just strategizing and working some finances that won't be available until Feb 1 and I am wondering if there is much of a possibility that we get notice of a delay sometime in Dec or early Jan. Thanks
OT: Rox....did you like that uptrend as well as the weeeeeeeeeeeeee. I was looking for a "I love this stock" from you yesterday. I didn't hit the top but parted with a couple thousand shares at just over 21. Plan to turn those 2000 into 2400 within the next 30 days or so as we settle back in and then I will be loaded for possible spring happiness after NOK
I wouldn't be so quick....who was it that said we had seen our high for the day only to see escalation from there?
dmiller...You really should just give up on this...you aren't adding anything by these types of comments. Nearly everyone here has had much more frustration via MANY years of being invested in IDCC...if its driving you that nuts sell and move on...even at a loss its not worth the aggravation. I have been in your shoes with this investment, but kept every share and quit letting it occupy so much of my time. It is much more peaceful to check in once a week to see if anything MAJOR has happened. The little day to day stuff (including share price) has been hashed and rehashed forever, until NOK and Sam get put to bed there isn't much to talk about. As Jimlur has said many a times..."just let it happen don't try to make it happen". A piece of frinedly advice from someone who felt just like you for way too long...
sounds good to me...so much positive going on that we seem to missing out on, we need that resolved. Its like giving a bottle of "ripple" to a drunk and telling them they have to wait 3 months to drink it...Come to think of it I may be a IDCCaholic....I think I need treatment, like a NOK/Sam resolution.
mschere, my comment, When do you think we will be paid for these handsets? thanks
mschere, I look so forward to the time when IDCC actually gets the money for all these positives that you are able to dig up. Seems like we have been waiting for years upon years, actually I have, for a lot of this to hit the bank and then the share price....hope this time next year we aren't still singing the same old song. Although I haven't been here as long as many it seems year after year we feel "next year will be the proof positive for us".
nice little 10 million to the cookie jar......keep em' comin'...just chillin until next spring when the big $$$$ come...post NOK / Sam
jimlur....Having only been in IDCC for 6 years I am somewhat of a newby but to me this is IDCC's biggest weakness. I don't know what it is going to take to effect such a change but I firmly believe they just aren't getting it done on the licensing end at this time. I am not going to go off on a tyrade and muddy up the board with complaints but we have not seen near the licensing agreements since sony/ericy as we should have. We all talked about the rivers of licensees that would flow after S/E and that has not happened. We now look to Nok and Samsung to be those catalysts. We shall see. IDCC mgmt itself has said that 2G suits should have no effect on 3G licensing, if that is the case I believe we should be signing a bunch in 04/05. I have actually decided to keep my shares long for a couple of years but forget about the day to day as for me this is way to secretive and frustrating company to follow on that type of basis. If they finally take care of business and can live up to their undeniable potential I will be rich, if they don't and it meanders or returns to single digits, so be it. I have positioned my portfolio that the upward benefit would be outstanding but that I could now live fine if it retreated to single digits. I know many people have it all tied to IDCC and that is their business but I quite honestly can't take the emotion of watching IDCC's lack of progress (IMO). Time will tell but I know not watching them on a day to day basis over the last 3 months has been much less stressful. Its all in their hands, it will either get done or not get done and I honestly don't think anything I do is going to change that. Final comment....Find a pitbull and tie his pay to results...which is where all pay for mgmt should be placed with IDCC (IMO). Suggestions for many here...walk away from this board for a month or so, you will feel better....
To me it had better be pretty darn important if he can't make an IMPORTANT c.c. He obvioulsy was well aware of this date for some time and must have had something that has to be done, either that or he didn't want to face the music. Don't get excited though, we read way too much into everything..positive and negative
.01...its one of the bad things about these small earnings, expect .02 get .01, means they only made 50% of what was expected. You ramped to .04 and you would beat street by 100%. Don't put too much stock in "hopeful for new licenses", we heard the same thing about 4th qtr last year....hopeful is hopeful, doens't mean it will happen...and again I wait, no selling for me...Its also one of the problems created on the board when we are very optimistic with earnings numbers, some people take those as fact and then get bent out of shape when they don't happen. Another warning....do not expect any bombshells in the c.c, if you get something good its gravy but of the 5 years I have been invested I don't recall any bombshells in c.c.
wow, look who shows up once we have a little drop in share price....where were you during the move up over the last couple of weeks
thanks lastchoice...
OT: My scottrader is dead this a.m.....where is IDCC trading this a.m. thanks
deleted post...
amen Jim, some never learn to "play nice", there is room for lots of different opinions here. If we all felt the same way and never posed different possibilities we would never learn anything. This thread has a lot of good people with varying degrees of expertise, not everyone becomes an EXPERT overnight and some won't tolerate those growing pains..
OT spree, you might try over in the coffee shop being that is the OT area.......maybe you will get some takers there
you and I both (think he could miss a large move up)...that is why I haven't sold a share....He has been more right than I over the last 5 years in regards to IDCC. He has been fairly good, I mean lukcy, with his timing while I have sat here and watched it yo-yo....
teecee....I haven't parted with a share but I know someone on this board that rarely posts sold over 13,000 shares over the last 3 weeks. He thinks we are dead money until this time next year and thinks he has a better place to put the cash to use in the meantime. Incidently he still holds about 8000 shares...So my conclusion, I think there are more like him that think they can re-enter at these levels 6-7 months from now. I'm too chicken, I think Howard might pull a rabbit out of his hat one of these days and give us some gold...
TFWG, just one guys opinion but I made the change from Sprint to Verizon about 4 months ago and have been much happier. Very few dropped calls and service area seems to be much more widely covered. I think I am paying about $9 a month more for verizon but service is far better......I use about 2000 minutes a month and travel the entire eastern US from the Mississippi River to the Atlantic, NYC to Miami, to New Orleans and every point in between.
spree, park your turd on the side of the road and come back in 12 months and this time it will be a diamond.....take it to the bank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jimlur, you had better be careful or raymond will accuse you of being a "gangbanger" for pointing out where an improvemnet can be made in mgmt. lol. Raymond, this is a perfect example, its not HATE. There are people in every company that don't contribute in the fashion they should and most often they are removed. My guess is it will happen and it has nothing to do with anyone hating, its about improving your personnel for the betterment of the company and inturn the stockholders.
raymond...IMO, most of the present mgmt is doing just fine by me, some on the other hand I don't think contribute anywhere near to the rate that they are compensated. That is what makes the world go round, differences of opinions. Reghardless of Mr. Roath's in/out I don't think a year from now we will give a fat rats behind...we'll all be happy but the shorts!
jai, what do you suppose would happen if greenspan came out in the next week or so and said "upon further review we don't see movement in the interest rates over the next 6 months". Are the hints of a week ago causing an overreaction that they might want to curb?
OT: now that gave me a chuckle.......
Boy Ed...you are very talented at making friends.....unbelievable how you love to toss out those childish jabs.....there is another strong QCOM'er here but he has enough class not to play these games
OT: I am pretty certain this is a "doctored" photo...AI few weeks back I saw one floating around the net that had the same soldier and two kids(I am about 99% certain) with some not-so-nice words on it....I am sure many of you saw it..
Jimlur, I tend to agree with you. Someone on the board said we would have over 50% institutional ownership at this point in time and we have actually retreated on that end. There is a lot of bellyaching here that gets a bit old but as you said they don't seem to be parting with their shares. I am more optimistic than I have been in a longtime, but as is the case historically my timeframe had to change. My expectations remain the same only the time has changed......
$5.00??!!!....come on mister put down your crack pipe....look at the number of shares, look at the cash...what is IDCC worth per share in cash and recurring revenue alone, heck even forget anything new that most likely will come during 2004..... I am not happy with share price either but that is just outright ridiculous to think IDCC will be anywhere near $5.00 in June.
ugly ugly market and today we just can't buck the trend....unfortunate as I see a lot of positive in whats going on with Interdigital...I guess like teecee said the price will eventually take care of itself....
10 cents...I'll take that......pretty positive release that they say its becoming a more stable recurring stream and that they expect licensing to continue to grow in 2004....
teecee, not sure this is it but I went ahead and did the free registration and the "recent news" was what they call a Bold Estimate. They define it as "An estimate made by a 5-star analyst within the last 30 days that deviates from the consensus by at least 5%.
hope so but don't think so....there will be some sellers at this price...too many cranky people lately that want out....love to see that buyback teecee talked about, that would send a panic
art, I think we could all use some good news this morning.....here is hoping we have a nice start to the weekend and an even better start to the rest of the year. I am feeling a bit battered and bruised and could use something positive....wow, love that edit feature.....great news, I like their aggressiveness to pre announce
JK, as a matter of protocol and ultimate responsibilty would HC and HG sign off on the proxy? I am not sure what the bounds of their duties are, but if I were in their chair I would like to read it before filling....Ya'll probably have a better feel for these responsibilities within a company this size.
excuse me for blowing off a little steam today being I have no "dry Powder".....I am going to do a little SPECULATING, by the way, I am tired of "buying opportunities" like many here...my guess is we hit 14's by tomorrow and then turn around and run to about 17.50 in anticipation of cc. Then we will see something good prior to the ASM in order to keep shareholders from throwing a fit. The day after we will see some insiders sell a few shares/....
teecee, the folks I speak of never had an ill word about Corp, in fact just the opposite. He recognized, like many here how to play the trends and make money. I don't have the time or expertise to do that so I sit here long....I have definitely missed the boat on several occassions...again my choice I'll just wait, don't need the cash now anyway..
art.....I have been told by three different "good guys" here that corp also traded alot of IDCC during his tenure on the board, as in he wasn't always long, that doesn't make him a bad guy...I also have it on fairly good authority he wasn't thrilled with the company's direction when he quit posting a couple of years back. Be that as it may I make my own decisions and still stand long with 100% of my shares and the most that I have ever held outright.
ams, still looking for more shares I see.....you should really wait unitl Monday to try and get your negative vibe going.......it will be lost here this afternoon.....
teecee... sure i could have paid less, and could have paid more, which I did since. I was comfortable with where things seemed to be heading, I still am. The timeframe has just changed. I am saying that I don't think comparing our value to QCOM should even enter into the picture, my opinion. If you do that you open up a whole can of worms including stock price PEFORMANCE over the last couple of years, where given todays valuation vs say, NOV 1 2002 isn't even close.
