Last I checked, there’s no expiration date on a CEO’s fiduciary duty.
Oh, what ridiculous statement is that. I don’t need to be told anything, especially by you. What could you possibly tell me. I’m not giving advice, just educating you on the whole value of the patents, and it ain’t $.20.
It’s obvious you don’t know much about business, if you think Emil should take a measly $.20 for all VPLM’s patents, when just one of the remaining cases, if settled would raise the PPS a lot more than your goal of $.20.
Go back and read my previous posts and get educated on the total picture. aka ‘606, remaining ‘815/‘005, not to mention the Euro patents.
I’m so thankful you’re not doing the negotiations for VPLM’s shareholders.
Who really cares about your decisions. You have no clue on value, you’re just looking to flip the stock. Go ahead and do so.
It’s a real good thing, you’re not doing the negotiations for VPLM’s shareholders.
Well, I understand a lot more than you. You’re the one doing the imagining and being selfish, just like what VPLM would be doing, if they sold for $.20. And that would be to liquidate all their hundreds of millions of shares.
You’ll do yourself a lot more justice, if you stop dreaming of an acquisition anytime soon. Buy a new calculator.
Hey, flipper, how did you come up with an acquisition price of $.20. You certainly didn’t us a calculator.
Fiduciary duty, look it up.
I realize you don’t understand business, just gambling on a rally and thanking it’s good enough for an acquisition.
You have zero clue about this industry. The only reason it would sell at your PPS, is to liquidate all their hundreds of millions of shares.
Keep dreaming about an acquisition. No proof that’s even on the table.
Sure I do and it’s not a sellout at $.20. I own a hell of a lot more than you.
It’s all about processing the value of the patents and not getting in and flipping the stock. Gotta do the due diligence.
Hey pal with all do respect, I realize you’ve only been in this stock for less than a year or so. You have to understand the value of the two remaining Mobile Gateway patents, to realize that just one case is worth what $.20 would equate to, in an acquisition. Now, take into account the second case, not to mention the ‘606 with Amazon in May, as well as the remaining’815/‘005 claims and Euro patents, WHY IN THE FREAKING WORLD WOULD VPLM ACCEPT $.20? ……..Unless they’re looking to cave and liquidate all their hundreds of millions of shares. No other reason.
I’m not sure what it is that you don’t seem to understand. I’m sure glad you’re not doing the negotiations for VPLM’s shareholders.
My advice, get over any acquisition happening, anytime soon. IMHO
And yes, I’d profit immensely. But, I wouldn’t accept $ 100,000 for my $ 500,000 house.
Just saying.
As stated, that would be a sellout, so they could liquidate all their shares. Remember these words, VPLM has a FIDUCIARY DUTY to look after the best interests of their shareholders. Anyone that has a business sense, understands the value of all the patents, aka ‘606, remaining’815/‘005 claims, not to mention the Euro patents. IMHO
It would be beneficial to oneself, to get any acquisition out of your freaking head, at this time. There’re a number of issues that would have to happen, for that to take place.
IMHO, this will go the route of Virnetx, ParkerVision and Netlist. Hmmmmm, and no one seems to be interested in acquiring them.
Just saying!
VPLMRocketship…….it’s a real good thing you two aren’t doing the negotiations for VPLM, that’s for sure. You probably can’t even work a calculator, from the looks of your so called target, you don’t.
Why don’t you just wait to see if VPLM’s able to get a nice settlement, aka damages and licensing agreements, and let the market take the PPS much higher than your measly $.30. No you won’t, because you just want everyone to think you know (or heard) what VPLM would take, because they need an acquisition to liquidate all their hundreds of millions of shares.
Most smart informed VPLM shareholders, know why the PPS is where it’s at.
IMHO
VPLMRocketship……..If you could process things, you’d understand that things change over the years, aka Waco, including the elimination of the IPR’s and Alice Motion. I’d suggest stop pissing off VPLM’s management and stating a measly $ .30. Especially when you go crying to the company that you’re going to sell your shares because you’re unhappy with the way things are going. Then come on this board and try to project so much positive feelings towards VPLM.
IMHO
VPLMRocketship, seems like you’re so sure about a measly $.30, so called acquisition PPS, perhaps you were given inside information or are you just so inept not to be able to comprehend good business sense. IMHO My guess, it’s probably both. LMAO
Why don’t you just focus on the true value, taking into account all the patents, aka ‘606 and the remaining’815/‘005, as well as the Euro patents, before you show how much business sense, you don’t have. IMHO
Maybe one day you’ll learn to respect other investor’s opinions and not disrespect them on not only this board but, on their personal home voicemail, so their wife doesn’t hear it. The fact anyone associated with VPLM even takes the time to speak to you, just baffles me. I’m sure most would agree.
IMHO
VPLMRocketship……..I believe I had already given my target PPS, IMHO Anything over 1.00 is a fair acquisition price. If anyone even wants to acquire VPLM’s patents. LMAO. $.30 is a sellout, to just liquidate all their shares.
Most intelligent shareholders knows what’s been going on, that the PPS is where it’s at.
It’s about processing what’s best for the shareholders, and a nice settlement with damages and licensing agreements going forward, would yield a much much PPS, than a measly $.30. But, I realize you can’t process this. You’re fixated only on an acquisition, which we’ve been brainwashed for over eleven years to think it’s going to happen. How many times towards the end of each year has this hearsay, speculation nonsense been going on.
Do the freaking math, you know it all.
Hey, VPLMRocketship, do you want to talk about Emil not selling any of his shares until he monetizes the patents. Now, what have the shareholders finding out what’s been happening for the past three years or so? Hmmmm, yeah imagine that.
Only the smart shareholders have figured out what’s keeping the PPS down, especially at this stage of the game. A fifth grader can figure it out.
IMHO
Hey VPLMRocketship……….Is your large shareholder buddy also a failed stockholder, who can’t process that $.30 AT THIS STAGE OF THE GAME, IS A SELLOUT? $.025 PPS means nothing at 11 times, equaling a fair buyout. This isn’t a Fortune 500 company with P/E and earnings, etc. Current PPS, doesn’t determine the value of the damages, etc. Is your buddy also worried about liquidating all his shares.
I remember when the PPS was $.025 day before the two final written decisions with the Apple IPR’s.and it went over $.40 in a four week period. Yeah, yeah I know, the outstanding shares were a third less.
It’s all about processing the value and damages with both Verizon and T-Mobile, then any fifth grader can figure out, with the remaining ‘606 and the ‘815/‘005 claims, not to mention the infamous Euro patents, any acquisition price would be worth at least $ 1.00 PPS. But, again if they’re only concerned with liquidating their shares, then yeah, they’ll cave and take $.30. But, someone would have to be willing to acquire VPLM’s shares.
Hmmm, I don’t seem to see anyone interested in acquiring Virnetx, ParkerVision and or Netlist, now do you?
Remember fiduciary duty, look it up. IMHO
Yeah, I was told to layoff VPLMRockship because of his personal issues. But, when one just doesn’t want to let up and try to one up and disrespect everyone, he needs to be put in his place. I wouldn’t take anything he says as intelligent meaning, as he’s a failed stockbroker. Enough said.
He knows the large shareholders are concerned with liquidating all their shares, and he thinks Emil will take anything to do so. aka $.30. That’s if anyone wants to acquire VPLM’s shares. There’s zero proof of this. Pure speculation and IMHO a ploy to keep everyone in the stock. I’d love to be proven wrong, but I doubt it.
Just remember they have a fiduciary duty to look after the best interests of their shareholders. Not themselves. The best scenario is a large settlement with both infringers and the PPS goes much much higher than a measly $.30. But, a failed stockbroker can’t comprehend this. IMHO
Not to mention, he likes to think he “knows” things others don’t. He knows nothing.
IMHO
VPLMRocketship………..It’s no wonder a failed stockholder has no clue how to evaluate the value of these patents. My prior posts (s) should have educate you enough in the understanding that a measly $.30, is a sellout. I don’t have the time and or energy to educate you anymore.
You’ll never win, pal. You’re weak minded. You don’t have the self confidence to respect other investors opinions. Like you think you know more, than others. Then you go cry to the company that you’re going to sell because you’re not happy with the way things are going. Time to grow a pair. IMHO
Agreed, decisions are pending on the Hotspot, summary judgement and the Alice Motion. These motions need to go in VPLM’s way, for “anything to happen”! Not to mention, the ex parte reexamination Motion to stay the case, by Amazon. BTW, has Verizon and T-Mobile filed their ex parte reexamination?
IMHO
Funny, I completely understand $.30 is a measly sum. But, as I’ve stated before, I don’t recommend taking investment advice from a failed stockbroker, who can’t process business sense. One settlement in Waco would be worth at least this amount. If any acquisition happens, there’re the other remaining patents, aka, ‘606 in May, not to mention the remaining many claims in the ‘815 & ‘’005, as well as the Euro patents, that adds much, much more value for any acquisition, then $.30! If that even happens.
The only reason a measly $.30 closes the deal for an acquisition, is because this is the only way they feel they will be able to liquidate all their shares, PERIOD! No other reason, unless they feel they can’t win in court. I believe a few licensing agreements need to be in place, prior to any buyout. If agreements happen, then I believe the PPS goes to $.75-1.00, prior to any buyout.
There’re a few other similar patent plays out there, aka. Netlist, Virnetx and ParkerVision, and it doesn’t seem like anyone is interesting in acquiring them. Therefore, why would anyone acquire VPLM?……Just saying!
IMHO
VPLMRocketship……News flash, things change over the years, aka Waco!
I’m not the one that’s pissing off a lot of insiders with the measly $.30 PPS projection on a so-called acquisition.
It’s all above processing the value of the patents, etc. Not about liquidating hundreds of millions of shares. Fiduciary duty, remember.
Have you gone to the doctors, yet? Get help, seriously. IMHO
As mentioned, I wouldn’t take investment advice from a failed stockbroker who can’t process that 10x current PPS, isn’t a sellout. It’s all about processing the value of the patents, and if one thinks $700 million or so, it what is an acceptable acquisition price would be, this individual doesn’t understand business. That wouldn’t even be an acceptable settlement with one of the remaining Mobile Gateway infringers in Waco. Not to mention, the remaining’606 Amazon case in May 2024.
Always remember, there’s a fiduciary duty of the CEO of any public company, to look after the best interest of their shareholders . If VPLM’s is acquired for a measly $ .25-.35 , then that would be a sellout. And only done, to be able to liquidate all the hundreds of millions of shares, the insiders hold. PERIOD. Nothing else. IMHO
VPLMRocketship, I was referring to visiting a shrink. Not to mention getting a glucose and cholesterol test, once a year, at your age. But, obviously as cantankerous as one is, you’ll argue with the thought of a yearly check up.
Yeah, if Emil thinks $ .30 is getting a deal done. LMAO, that wouldn’t be living up to the fiduciary duty of a CEO, now would it? Oh, unless they’re looking to liquidate all their shares. Do the math. They’re being watched.
$.15 in three months would be a disappointment.
So, after you talked with insiders today, are you going to keep the inside information you heard, to yourself?
IMHO
Agreed, pretty sad in a way. There’s a lot more to a check up than blood pressure. You can go to CVS for that.
Always having to argue and fight with anyone that doesn’t agree with his opinion. There’s a lot going on here, then blood pressure. IMHO
It’s quoted, “I’m mid 60’s, haven’t been to the doctor in 10 years (no, not even a check up). Well, no wonder. You’re proud of this? I’d strongly suggest going to the doctor, as soon as possible. I’m not sure if I should laugh or feel bad about this.
BTW, dates matter as things changes, aka dismissing the NDCA cases, as I suggested. Glad they took my advise. lol
It’s quoted, “So, you finally grew huevos”…..Well, as I’ve always said, I never take any investment advice from a bipolar, failed stockbroker that’s living out of his.
You’re doing an NYTWIT. You should mind your own business and you won’t get schooled.
Have you made your calls to insiders for more inside information?
Take your medication and put gas in your car.
Quoted, “LOL you talk about my calls”….Well, at least my calls aren’t pissing off some very large shareholders by devaluating any acquisition price.
It was suggested to me that I should lay off putting you in your place and not being too hard on you. Due to your personal issues. Sorry, I apologize, I wasn’t aware but, I did sense there’s some emotional unstable issues going on with you. Your anger and cantankerous attitude is exhausting to read. It never ends with your unstable emotional demeanor.
I’d suggest getting some help and start having some more confidence in yourself and respecting that others have opinions. Then stop talking smack back to other posters when you don’t agree with their opinion (s). You like to project this imagine, like you’re aware of what’s happening behind the scenes, that others aren’t, aka inside information. I’d recommend being very careful with that, as you might drag other innocent people into this. You know squat, zero, nothing.
Take care and you know, there’s medication for this problem.
I’m done with your crazy, nonsense. I’m sure others would agree.
Twenty-five cents, …Yep, well did you notice the date? Did he drop the cases in NDCA, like I said he should ? Yep…….Is VPLM in a better position than in 2021? Yep…aka Waco. With the position VPLM’s in now, less than $ 1.00 would be a disappointment. That’s if there’s an acquisition. Miracles do happen, thou. Any settlements with Verizon and or T-Mobile, could possibly run the PPS to a dollar, without an acquisition. Why on earth sellout for only $.30?
Like I always say, I never take investment advice from a failed stockbroker, that lives out of his car.
The only reason Emil would take $.30 would be so he could liquidate all his and his wife’s shares, PERIOD. Remember, he has a fiduciary duty to look after the best interests of his shareholders. With the remaining potential infringers, yet to be sued, this wouldn’t fall into that category.
Going back years to research my post, wow, get a life.
I still stand that any buyout is a pipe dream. aka, Netlist, VinetX and ParkerVision, Has anyone purchased them, yet? I’d love to be proven wrong, but I highly doubt it. Let’s just get a huge settlement with both these two remaining in Waco and have the PPS skyrocket.
Okay, VPLMRocketship.aka Stocktwits
IMHO
Yeah, like I’ve always said, I never take investment advice from a failed bipolar stockbroker, living out of his car. We all know who this is.
Yeah, someone who calls the company crying his going to sell because he’s so unhappy with the way things are going. You’re a cantankerous loser and everyone knows it.
You never say anything of substance and value. aka, like knowing a surprise is coming. You know NOTHING! Not to mention $.30 value, LMAO. This would be a sellout and very one knows it. Oh, yeah, IMHO
I don’t even read your whole post (s), who does. Get a life. This anger and hatred you have in your heart, is not good for your health. Seriously, you’re going to end up in a psycho ward. All you ever want to do is try one up someone, like you think you know things others don’t. You know crap. PERIOD.
Stop the BULLSHIT, it never ends with you. If any insider, ever told you there’s a catalyst event coming, would be telling you inside information. And playing around with Carnac, as a buffer, is stupid. Your hyperbole has been going on for years. We want facts, not fantasy.
If one keeps saying this and that happening, eventually one will get something right. IMHO
Interesting take on the silence from Albright. Wishful thinking at best, IMHO
Although strange he hasn’t made the decision on either or the stay on the ex parte reexamination and the new trial date. There’s a small window they might be able to fit them in late November or first week December. I would imagine he’d like to have these cases off his books by years end. IMHO. Wishful thinking,…..yeah probably.
Enjoying his suspension, I’m sure. LMAO
Are these settlements or judgements? If settlements, how are these public and ours with Amazon, if occurred wasn’t?
I wonder is this is a record. How about someone calling the Guinness World Records, lol
Yes, I did notice the IPR numbers are different in this post but the patent numbers #721 and #234 are the same, as the December 28th press release by VPLM, stating both Amazon & T-Mobile were denied.
But, I believe T-Mobile tried to get their own IPR’s via joiner with Meta, that was denied today. GREAT NEWS
Which numbers are you referring to? The $.35-.50 or the $ 1.00?
I’m basing my option on years and years of listening to Emil crying about the damages. Remember, $ 2 billion, prior to litigation? As well, as understanding that in the telecom industry, hundreds of millions of dollars per year, isn’t unreasonable. I’ve done some research and read Hudnell filings and the numbers are scary, almost silly.
IMHO, if VPLM didn’t receive $25 million from the Amazon settlement, it wasn’t successful for us,
The lower price range is the measly amount thrown around that some felt Emil would take for an acquisition. Based on let’s say, 3.5 billion outstanding shares, that’s $ 1.225 billion to $ 1.750 billion on an acquisition. Well, with just these two cases, aka Verizon and T-Mobile coming up with the just the Mobile Gateway, one case alone would have damages in that range. Now, remember, this is just damages going back, what about licensing agreements going forward?
Therefore, why in the world would one sell a company for what one infringement case is approximately worth? Just wouldn’t make sense, unless one was just looking to receive an offer, to liquidate all their shares. Which is what I’m afraid is going to happen.
It’s hard the phantom, that a company is going to agree to pay billions in damages, without fighting it in court. I just don’t see that happening.
This is where the $ 1.00 comes into play. All you have to do, is just look how the PPS responded when other patent infringement cases went to trial and resulted in a judgement, aka ParkerVision, Netlist and VinetX. If VPLM received a judgement or two for multiple billions in damages, just think where the PPS would skyrocket to. The PPS, may easily exceed a few dollars.
If VPLM’s going to settle with Verizon and T-Mobile, as they did with Amazon, it will be kept silent and Babs will continue her selling and the PPS, will remain stagnant, until the financials come out. It’ll be the second quarter in 2024, before we know the value of all these settlements.
Also, remember, once a few settlements are reached, VPLM’s establishing themselves as a legitimate company. Yearly revenue, could lead to a much higher consistent PPS.
IMHO
#1 is nonsense. They’re both insiders. How do you know if they do separate tax forms? She’s supposedly only allowed to sell 10% of the daily volume.
And no, I can’t imagine there’s any insider information, causing them to sell. But, the optics, just don’t look good. Now, just by how the market has reacted, falling about 70% or so, one can only imagine, this so called settlement, wasn’t much in the favor of VPLM. This is primarily do to the silence and insider selling. If this settlement was announced in a PR, that VPLM has finally monetized and there was no insider selling, PPS would easily be $.20+…….I know, I know, they have an NDA.
Only time will time until the financials come out and then it would only be fair to give them time for the third quarter financials. If there’re no revenues to speak of, then it wasn’t a successful settlement for VPLM. This speaks for itself.
Now, I would only imagine if this was such a successful settlement, wouldn’t the vibe from Emil be so excitable and enthusiastic, that Babs would be smart enough not to be selling at these low prices. I mean, it just doesn’t compute.
I’m trying to be as positive, as I can be, without being naive. Because it’s so obvious by reading the board, how frustrated most shareholders have become. To be honest, there’s only a very small amount of shareholders, that even read the board.
IMHO
Well, I appreciate it. Just trying to keep it real as it is.
One of my concerns, is this nonsense will continue come time to settle with Verizon and T-Mobile. Probably why we just might need to go to trial and get the damages and judgment in hand. This way the market will realize the value of the patents. PPS would go well over $ 1.00 if that happens.
The other concern, in order for the insiders to liquidate their shares, they just must have to take a ridiculously low offer of $ .35-50. This would be a complete sellout! Certainly not living up to their fiduciary duty.
IMHO
No I’m not totally agreeing, did you read my post? It’s a 25.7 month process, not a few months.
Just reporting the facts! Don’t you think shareholders are tired of lies and hyperbole? Huh?
I feel your frustration but, I do also appreciate the court documents.
With that said, unfortunately the company has shown a tremendous amount of disrespect to their shareholders on a number of levels. Whether they realize it or not, they have. Maybe it’s been overlooked, but, needless to say, it’s effected the shareholders value, tremendously. I’m sure most would agree,
There’re a lot of us long term investors, ten years plus, that have waited and supported VPLM’s journey over these ten years. We’ve waited and waited and lived through the frustrations of all the trial and errors VPLM has had to endure. Too many to name. Only to finally get to Waco and get to a so called agreement in principle, that’s lead to a dismissal with one of the freaking largest companies on the planet. aka Amazon! Then come to find out, the CEO’s wife has been selling for the last few years, without filing her sales. Is this correct, or am I mistaken. Emil has always stressed he would not sell until he monetized. And I could care less, if she’s help finance the company over the years. What, Emil doesn’t profit from this?
Now, if that’s not a kick in the teeth, I don’t know what else could be. Oh, I know, how about zero communication with this so called settlement with Amazon. Oh, of course, there’s that infamous NDA. They can’t discuss the “terms” of the settlement. Well, maybe we don’t need to know the terms but, we’re entitled the know if they monetized. Shareholders don’t even know the value of the patents.
Let’s see, VPLM’s now has dismissed, what six to seven cases without knowledge of any monetization. Shareholders have waited ten years for this moment and they get shunned. With these optics, it seems VPLM’s lost and dismissed all these cases. Hence, the falling PPS.
I’m told Amazon isn’t going to let VPLM benefit from this settlement. Who are they to dictate what information the shareholders are entitled to, that drastically affects our share price. That’s nonsense and Emil should have never agreed to that. That’s cost shareholders a tremendous amount of money. If they did PR that VPLM has finally monetized, the PPS would be well over $.20+, IMHO.
With these number of dismissals, stating that VPLM’s has finally monetized, certainly isn’t pointing out which company had to pay.
Now, the financials will be out next month. No NDA, can stop any public company from reporting their revenues. Maybe this will be an indication, if in fact they did monetized. Now, if there’re no revenues reported, I’d be willing to wait until the third quarter financials come out. This way, it’ll give them a few more months for revenue, aka damages and licensing revenue to come in. If then, there’s been zero revenue, one can only draw the conclusion, VPLM wasn’t successful in the first Mobile Gateway trial and Amazon won. PERIOD!
Need I say more?
IMHO
