UP to 71.71 in pre. market +.35 PUNKIN611
I have seen many boards recommend offers that were not the highest bid, Why? PUNKIN611
NO ONE [@ the company} ANTISipated the sucess of the Iphone?? If they didn't they should be fired. I think the board would RECOMEND Apple's bid over Goog to shareholders. WHY? for golden 'chutes in the advent of Apple win. PUNKIN611
IDCC should hold 64 buy @ 65 PUNKIN611
I was thinking when we sign apple most here thought we gave them a great deal. I wondered WHY? It didn't help stock price longterm so why did we do it? I think we have a under the table deal with Apple. The board may decide {if there is a bidding war for IDCC} to side with APPLE. But for what reason? PUNKIN611
If Samsung doesn't keep IDCC's IPR's away from Apple they're toast! PUNKIN611
I am interested in that too. It may have something to do with using it in the unpaired spectrum bands. I may not know what I'm talking about. Someone here knows. PUNKIN611
What is the effect of our P.P. on any takeover? PUNKIN611
IDCC has many world wide pat's and IPR's PUNKIN611
LVLT and Global Crossing mated up and packaged with a bow around it for MICROSOFT!
Nok. might have to quit making phones if their stock keeps dropping. Maybe they could start making rubber shoes and boots and forget all this sillyness of trying to make wireless Phones.
Maybe short term downward pressure on stock price but mark my words; this is setting a bear trap for shorts that have bedeviled us.
yes,they do. They bought a small company awile back that held Pats. in that area.
how do you think they do that???
I've had enough BUYING opps. and wants SELLIN' opps!!!
I'm just sitting here having a cheeky little cab musing to myself; If I would have known in 1999-2000 during the tech wreck that we would only get peanuts for 2G and have so much trouble signing for 3G. And here we are trying to get a fair price for 4G. I wish I had not ever read Bill D's wopper about IDCC being the next QCOM. I've made money off IDCC but looking back on how much of my time I spent studying it and reading all the pie-in-the-sky on this board I will consider it pissed away if we don't start makin' 2-3 bucks a device. There I said it. I think many here think the same. Who here is happy with % IDCC is signing makers up for?? BUT if WE HIT A HOME RUN all is forgiven.
I know,I know but IF we ever see strong insider buying I'm going all in.
I can't see how IDCC's stock can firm up until we have clarity on IDCC's cut of 4G. It would also help to sign up all the players that are now resisting. But the one thing I would like to see is large insider buying. I think that would go a long to legitemize IDCC.
The Alamo fell today March 06 1836. alamo has five letters in it's name. Nokia has five letters in it's name--could it fall to IDCC tomorrow???
Bad moon rising?--- The next full moon acording to "fastmoney" on CNBC is going to be the closest to earth in 18 yrs. How should that effect investing? buy sell or hold???
Bought more @46.67 the drop is finished.
Did we lose NOK trial???
IDCC down to 47.06
Yes, I mean CONvert not REvert, brain fa-t. But that means since I have no earn income I can't build up assets tax free. ( My wife is still working so I can still add to my ira) Tax free bonds is about all that's left.
I'm F-CKED I make too much to revert to a roth, and I can't backdoor into a ROTH either! It's not a good idea for me to contribute to a regular IRA in the long run because I put in after tax income. Anybody got any sugestions to beat the jam I'm in?
IMO they keep one or more small contracts in reserve to stem the tide so to speak of a stock price correction. A little good news might keep the stock from tankin'. In my investing life it doesn't work.
No offense implied. But you say you only own 3 stocks and you have 45 years investing experince? @ your age you are the boldest investor I know of. Good luck.
VERY GOOD, full marks! you may not be a pro chart reader but I think you hit on a good buy point.
I just wish IDCC would leak to press if they are going to make Q! I know they have (lumpy) earnings. But CISCO and other big tech always guide to the correct number. Maybe they will soon learn to play the game.
No, I sold the puts (mar.50's) and believe the call's will expire worthless. But I stand ready to buy if things (or IDCC) get too distorted or misspriced.
If you truly believe that, WHY do you invest? IMHO IDCC had got ahead of it true value because of all the hype of beating NOK and the signing of all of these 3 and 4G deals. Rome wasn't built in a day. Thats why I did the prudent thing--- I bought puts and sold covered calls to protect myself. You have insurance on your house don't you? WHY not your portfolio? This is investing 101.
If you like this price how 'bout three months ago thay could have picked them @mid 30s!
What did the old woman tell J.C. to beware of??? The "ides of March" I also fear it.
I hope everbody bought themselves some puts and sold some calls. I did. It still hurts that IDCC is down,- -just not as much.
I'm glad I sold calls and bought puts. I hope we have a good earning report and just stay about where we are. We need to digest this move up.
I had dealings with a pair of attorneys in New York some years back. Their name? Fink&Fink I kid you not!
I bought the 50 strike puts I felt I needed a little protection
I don't want to blow them out just yet. Every short is a buyer in time. I want them to be stung a little but still believe they are RIGHT about IDCC being over priced so they short MORE. If we have good news about earnings or Nok settlement and they are still short we get a bigger bang. Then when they are scramblin' for the door we'll get a killer move to sell into. I can't wait.
Why not do a put call spread?
jeffie, feel a little breeze as you know who went by----It's been a long climb. This 4G stuff is going to be a battle royal between Q and IDCC. "little QCOM" And Q are going to new highs. Best of luck to all Q holders.
