I have a couple million shares. That may not seem like a lot to some of you. But sell for a dollar or more and I would be pretty happy. As I said, $8 sound great, but I was trying to understand where that number comes from.
I don’t appreciate being called a fake short, but I get how the constant agitation would have folks on the defensive. From the sounds of it the $8 number is a revenge number - although it seems random - 3, 5, 8, 10, 15 would likely have a similar impact on the shorties. All of those numbers would have a positive impact for me.
I will go back to the sideline, eat some popcorn and watch the show. I am definitely NOT a short, fake OR real!!!
I have followed this board off and on for a while. Clearly it is a battle of good vs evil, there is not much in between. Even when trading was fully open, it seems like folks had “placed their bets”, so there was lot much action. Folks are either all in or shorting. For those of you that are all in, where does the $8 number come from? Is that just a number pulled from a hat that would cause pain to the shorts, or is there some basis to talk about $8. I would be happy as Hell with ONE dollar. I love the sound of $8, but don’t know where that comes from.
New to this, need some education! I would appreciate some words of wisdom from some of you that seem to have been at this for quite a while and appear to understand the business. I see all the talk about Addax being being bought. I also understand that ERHE owns rights to some of the same land areas as Addax. How does an Addax buyout affect ERHE? This may be obvious to some of you that have been at this game for a while, but this is a different world for me. Is the thought that ERHE comes along for the ride, is the thought that ERHE would be the next buyout, etc....
False expectations - in my opinion. Many of us have speculated for years on how much money all of these deals would bring in. Many of the legal experts (which I appreciate) have provided perfectly logical reasons for certain expectations - but they have always been based on the limited information they could dig up. This may not have been what WE expected, but in early December, IDCC anticipated sales of a little under $60M for the 4th quarter of 2008. We are going to have one company bringing in $400M over a few years, and I believe this deal will lead to other deals brining in significant amounts of money.
So, even though this may not be what we all expected, it is significant money compared to what they have been doing - in my opinion.
Can anyone post the latest report from Tom Carpenter?
Yahoo shows 1 year target raised from 30 to 32.50 - did we get an upgrade?
Options Friday - I do not understand Options very well, but I have seen our stock get manipulated every month for several years on Options Friday. What are some thoughts about what to expect this week - assuming no news of significance?
Inventec and the Iphone. I believe I have seen some companies (I do not remember if Nokia is included)complain that the Iphone was awfully similar to their upcoming phones, and they might pursue action to stop Apple. Is it possible that this license is a way to cover Apple and allow them to proceed with the IPhone? Just a thought.
When I was referring to a peep, I was talking about intelligent discussion on this board. I have been holding long and strong to IDCC, so do not misinterpret my comments as negative. I am just trying to understand, and I have not found much information here or elsewhere about Ericsson and IDCC.
The Ericsson subject does not come up much because there are more immediate things to talk about. I was reviewing some old Ericsson news, and I have a question (or 2)for some of the more knowledgeable people here. If I am reading correctly, Ericsson only makes payments up to the end of 2006 - according to the settlement. If that is true (and I may be misunderstanding), does that mean that their license expires at the end of 2006? If so, does that mean that they need to be working towards a license pretty soon? When the settlement happened, most opinions were that there would be a follow up 3G license. Well, it has been a long time, and we have not heard a peep!
I only bring this up because I am trying to understand what lies ahead. It seems like there are so many possibilities, but I do not understand them all. I would appreciate any words of wisdom on the Ericsson front.
For you legal beagles out there, what are the changes of Nokia's appeal not even making it to court? My understanding, and I could be off base, is that the court gets lots of plenty of frivolous lawsuits and things that never see a courtroom. Is there a chance that this may not get dragged on as long as we are all afraid of? The argument seems pretty lame.
For the rest of you, why is the stock not doing better today, when we see a new license announcement?
Thanks for the response. One more question: You response indicates that "The talk" was Ericsson was a named trigger - is that a fact, or something that we all have convinced ourselves of? I just want to better understand what we are all dealing with.
For those of you more informed than I, I would like to verify something. I have been under the impression for some time that Sony/Ericsson was a named Trigger for Nokia. I am sure that unless I dreamed that up, I read it on this board. I do not know if that is in the contract, legal documents, or where that information comes from. My understanding was that it was in a document that Nokia would have had signed. Can anyone tell me if I dreamed this up, or where I would be able to find such information?
It looks like it has that potential. I have 3 little rugrats, and I would like something to take over for Barney. I am just trying to put a finger on some facts. I have already bought in - maybe unwisely. I should not jump into things I do not know enough about. But I am trying to learn as I go.
What makes you all think that .30 to .60 is realistic? I want to believe, but I am looking for facts to back it up. Please fill in some blanks for me.
I am intrigued by this concept (Barney did pretty good). I am still trying to understand where the revenue is going to come from. I see optimism for .3 to .6 by early this year, but it sounds like hype. I would like to seem logic behind that. Is the hope that by Christmas time, they will have people interested enough to buy toys, videos, etc????
Interested but trying to stay objective.
I finally found a board for RVNM. I can not say that I know enough about this company, but I am trying to understand. It appears that the Gina D's stuff is going to be showing in most several (hopefully more) of the major markets. But it is on PBS type stations. What kind of money does that bring in? I am assuming that it is not a big money maker. I assume the hope is that every child between 1-5 years falls in love with the show - then they beg for movies and toys ... Just curious how showing on PBS hits the bottom line.
JimLur and Company: This is not a prediction or rumor, and I am not a pumper or a basher. If you must know I have been long this stock for some time. I have learned quite a bit on this board, thank you. I am still by no means an expert, and would like to bring a hypothetical. Let's assume (again this is not a rumor or prediction) that next week we see a settlement with Nokia that is condsidered favorable to IDCC (favorable could mean a lot of things I know - lots of money, 3G agreement...). What are some intelligent prediction on what would happen to the IDCC stock price in the following month? I am trying to figure out how much of that is built into the current price. It seems like this agreement would be monumental to me, but I might be a little naive as to what will really happen.
During the latest conference call, I believe it was stated that the IDCC folks had confidence that they would sign new licences before the end of the year. I, and I think most people, automatically assumed that to mean this calander year. To my knowledge, I have not seen anything to confirm or deny what he meant. Does anyone have any comments to help me understand what he meant?
Do you also post on the Raging Bull board, or is this a quote from over there? I would be curious to hear what you think the stock price could hit in the next 6 months?
Address is denos16@aol.com, thank you
I know you would rather not see these requests this way, but for some reason I got an error when trying to send you an e-mail to request the reports. I would appreciate if you would send me the reports.
It is difficult to get REAL information on this stock. The RB board is full of hypers and negative people, so everything there is questionable. Some of the info there seems credible, but it is hard to tell. I am curios where you get your target from. I honestly have no idea how to handle stocks that are under a penny. I am playing with money made elsewhere. The more I learn about this, the more it interests me. But, it also raises more questions. I would appreciate any intelligent information about what you have collected on this, and how you got to your target. Thanks
First of all, I am not a short at all, and I am not a Qualcomm supporter or shareholder. In fact, I am holding for as long as I can. I have seen a lot of announcements in the last few months come from companies we (message board) speculate that we have alliances with. In their announcements, they often mention Qualcomm. What do we have to do to get them to mention Interdigital in one of their press releases? It seems to me that once we get that kind of recognition by the "Big Boys", the stock price will take care of itself. But until then, we will remain the "Little Flea". We need to find some PR people from other companies to get on this message board, and we need to WOW them. With IDCC not having a tangible product, it becomes even more important to have good PR - which we do not seem to have. If this message board can accomplish what the PR department can't, then I will be impressed with this board. Until then, we are all just blowing smoke.
I am glad to see a new message board starting for this stock. I heard about this company from another message board, and it caught my attention. It seems like the technology they have is going to get more attention soon. I have had a helluva time getting information. I do not understand this "Spinoff" at all, and I wonder if you can shed some light. Their web site does not seem to be active, at least they do not seem to say anything new. I have seen a lot of speculation, but I am trying to get some facts. Any information would be a plus. I am trying to decide if this is something I should just buy and hold, and maybe see a tremendous payoff in 10 years or what the play on this stock is.
What is the contest that I see listed here?
Predictions
At one time, ('99) we saw how quickly this stock could move, but the economy is quite different now. I would be interested in a poll asking when people feel this stock will hit $100. I will open by saying August 14 of this year. I am not sure how this economy will affect the reaction to a positive resolution to the Ericsson lawsuit though. So, any intelligent justification to predictions is welcome
