post of the day
i agree with alley... this guy is like my father in law...no education in the formal sense, but sees a good vision and says f--k it!!!! buy it and let's roll...i believe we are ready to launch...6 million shorts..2.5 in 99..went to 82...we will be there again..passing Q like it was a model -A!!! gotta go...i salute all the 10 yr. longs!!! chipster.
thanks alley!!!
response? i think you're right on except if we get news on nok, sam, or others...then the moon. consolidation here is appropriate..but news should send us to the 40's technically according to ubs-paine webber. you know what nobody is talking about? our asics!!!! royalties there will make phone $'s look like peanuts!! buyout at 250 by Q...my prediction!!!

sane interpretation of 10k
a 10k is a backward document...a 10Q a forward one. corp-buyer's analysis is a sane, logical, plausible one. panic selling will provide an opportunity for bargain buying!
thanks for the interpretation!

PANIC in the streets!!!!!
oh my god, the world is ending!! president rip is abdicating! no response from the cabinet! what are the peons to do? let's take over the gov't!! wait...we own the company! listen to the revolutionaries ( the shorts)...your leaders are no good..sell your stock...no deals are coming despite what the leaders say.
countless pros have been "sucked" into buying only to see slash and burn and run...what to do??? one of the peon leaders (alley) would say this is a buying opportunity..other leaders are laying back waiting to give rational advice. this is a new qt. and good news will be on us soon...don't listen to the weak-kneed bashers!

insider selling 101
for you neophytes, there are corporate rules in place that require officers to sell at set periods. they do not have a choice as i understand it.
now that the qt. is over, expect some great announcements! the stock price will begin to climb again, and hopefully a short squeeze will commence and let us take some profits!
the 10k is interesting, but don't read too much into it. the co. has to file one, and if no deal is 100%, they have to hedge towards negativity.
as far as i am concerned, the big battle is over and only squirmishes remain. did i spell that right?? anyway, somebody has to be a cheerleader on this bipolar board!!!

idcc mgt's ingenuity
"genius" is a unique word...give it to Harry C.!! I have posted in the past the "story" behind the patent victory, but i will give it again. Harry was in a previous co. (i believe dry cleaning chemicals) which owned patents also. He devised a strategy to protect and collect on those patents. when he came to idcc he transferred that strategy to our patents..especially getting several key patents revalidated after the mot debacle. thru persistence and refusal to give in (despite the criticism with the low settlement dollars), OUR co. is now validated, vindicated, and victorious. for those of us in since the beginning, these are sweet times. this story may be simple and slightly wrong, but i cast my vote for ingenuity and genius to harry c!!!

new stock to follow!
as a physician, i am always looking for co.'s with new products, ect. i found the next "10-banger"...ATSI...they make the next generation (sound familiar?) heart valve. little anticoagulation, no noise, and good press coming out in may at the big cardiology meeting in boston. developed by the st. jude valve man who left them to start this co. fell on bad times because of a bad bus. plan, but now turning it around. all you longs have supported me with your posts, so i am returning the favor. buy it NOW!!

option friday...
unfortunately, i need help from buyers! i desperately need this stock to close above 22.50 or go above it intraday tomorrow so i can save my butt!!! i got greedy when they set the first trial date, and then got rear-ended when they changed it. i am still long in one account, so the damage won't be lethal, but for those of you who want to buy more shares, do it tomorrow am!!!! thanks!

to blue....you said it alot better than i did! thanks, chipster
to the brokenhearted
after the nec settlement, a previous loss to mot, and endless legal proceedings(more appeals...we lost one of those!)in the future, i think hc and co. stuctured a deal that will work to our advantage in the future. with ericy on the financial ropes, we cut them some slack, gained credibility for us, and proved to wall st. we can at least run with the big dogs. i believe the back end will include a 3g deal, chip deal, and mucho kronas to our bottom line! alternately, we could be looking at the first stages of a merger....didn't we hear that word in the cc?? my prediction is a merger worth 150/sh for idcc...wishful thinking? maybe, but realistic if you think what happened to q's share price. without question we are better off than last week, and all the bellyaching is from pure speculation in my opinion. congratulations to our mgt. for getting a deal ultimately to make $$$ for all! personally, i am a happy long!! chipster
royalties
do we dare use Q as a historical tool to project share price? i think HC and HG remember how Q played the no prior infringement game and just signed people up. when the $ flowed, they attracted analysts like bees to honey. they were not really recommended until they were $40 per share...they quickly rose like a teenager watching a girl's pe class! as far as i'm concerned, the analysts have to be led. so it may be awhile before they understand the astronomical $$ soon to flow. can we be the "little Q"? only time will tell..we should outdo Q in royalties within several years. also, don't forget we have chip technology too!! this could be greater than handset rev.! HC is the genius in my opinion. he used his prior experience in the ?dry cleaning patent area and used it as a model to get a "win" here. i think the up front $ is not nearly as important as setting up all the royalty streams!! thanks jim L. for all the support! vindication is sweet!!!
chipster
vindication!!
after 13 years of torture the longs are vindicated. the private and public verbal abuse is over. the new dawn is upon us...how sweet it is!!! add.: my previous posts of no trial were accurate..no trial! anyway, congrats to all the long-timers...i love all of you!

xdx and 1996
since i have owned this stock since '89, i can say we are now ready to "cash in" so to speak. we were ready in '96 until we somehow "lost" the trial with MOT. we may not have entirely lost since our patents weren't invalidated, but psychologically we lost bigtime. we lost credibility, companies delayed licensing, and until Harry C. adopted a new patent strategy, we probably wouldn't be where we stand today. I got greedy in '99 and didn't take profits at 80 because i thought we were headed to 200!!! IDCC-ERICY has all the old-timers worried because we "have been there and done that!" I believe we are at the cusp of a great move upward in stock price. the telecom market is re-emerging, camera phones are taking off, and ericy hopefully sees the handwriting on the wall...esp since the Harris trial. anyway, thanks for reading and responding to my messages!

clarence and patent appeals
your post stirred my memory and brought up the mot-immc debacle from 1996....we lost the appeal!!!!!

SETTLEMENT vs. TRIAL
fairly reliable sources in europe and here relay info third hand to me concerning this trial...there will be NO trial...the problem is 3G terms...my problem is march 22 options!!!! first time in 13 years i have bought options..i am the longest bull (castrated!) on this board! I am praying for a settlement announcement in late Feb...the problem then may be that crazy raghead in bagdad. i want w to go ahead and resolve that issue, too. it's cold in augusta!
alley...
thanks for the continuing analysis. i worry somewhat how well Q has turned itself around with 2.5G. if they are any indication, we stand to cash in when we get our due. The MOT hangover from '96 is still affecting this stock. I get the feeling evewn nokia is playing with us. the street still doubts we can pull everything off, given our history. i have owned this stock since '89 and can't believe this litigation is still ongoing. the guy that patented the intermittent windshield wipers took 22 years to get $ from the big 3! these big companies know nothing about ethics. i have believed in the tech. all along, but failed to split my $ between IMM and Q. if i had, easy street would be my residence! technical trading IDCC has been wrought with disaster over the last 10 years...maybe you know more, but beware! adios for now....chipster
option advice needed!
my march 22's are in trouble....should i hang or slowly roll out into june and take my loss? a frustrated long (1989!)
