Idcc is susceptible to macro conditions like most stocks. Bonds are tanking due to massive debt and rising consumer prices...not because of growth. A good relort today might be a good time to protect idcc stock gains. Glta

Good thing no one took you up on that bet. Lol

Hitman....Keep in mind that the SEC chair is part of the PPT. Do not expect any action from SEC. They are part of the control mechanism.
Markets are controlled/manipulated.

DEFINITION of 'Plunge Protection Team - PPT'

A colloquial name given to the Working Group on Financial Markets. The Plunge Protection Team was created to make financial and economic recommendations to various sectors of the economy in times of economic turbulence. The team consists of the Secretary of the Treasury, the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, the Chairman of the SEC and the Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Gotta hope it's good results because It just doesn't seem like Precious Metals are gonna move up significantly for years. IMO
Apparently Fiat and Crypto currencies are much more precious than gold and silver. I made the mistake of thinking world wide debt mattered and would impact asset values. I was wrong and it seems inflation can be pumped into stocks and real estate forever as long as interest rates are contained.
The US has the plunge protection team and other countries are using their Central banks to control markets.
Physical Gold and Silver "Might" be good insurance if we have WW3 but it might only be protecting future generations. I'm doubtful that Miners will outperform other sectors unless we have a recession.
Apparently the business cycle is dead and governments will not allow recessions.

A value proposition is mostly about perception. Right now crypto technology has a high value quotient. The perceived use case for intangibles can change quickly.
Bitcoin and other crypto values could get slammed when people find the use case to be minimal.
I think cold and silver use case is dwindling amongst current generation, but at least they are tangible and they will probably die a slow death. Imo

Agreed. But I don't think exk will go that route. The management is looking to provide a decent return long term. If you have a 30 year time horizon, exk might do well.

Gold and Silver discovery used to be a big deal.
I'm hoping they discover some Bitcoin.
Maybe they should convert to a bitcoin miner.
I just read about a biotech company that converted to model hoping to benefit from the Bitcoin craze.

I've wondered why Idcc stock seems undervalued but the markets seem hugely manipulated. For example....
Precious metals are not getting the fear $ anymore. I notice the crypto move up when North Korea fires missile a few minutes ago. Stock markets were unaffected. Amazing!!!

It may not be safe but it's value in $ terms is exploding compared to gold and silver. Bitcoin now almost to $10k/coin.
It appears that the new age saver/investor is bypassing traditional stores of value and average Joe's have not even considered bit coin yet. All the commercials hawking gold and silver the past 10 years should have given me a clue. I have a feeling that we see huge amounts of precious metal $s moving to bit coin. Jmo

Not sure about $10/oz but it appears many potential investors are opting to avoid dollar and peso and other fiat ponzi currency risk and moving into bitcoin and other crypto. Precious metals prices have been controlled by bankers and government officials for too long now...and it seems the hedge risk has moved. I wonder how long the big crypto miners will hold most of their bitcoin. They might end up as the new world central banks.

Markets are up and Exk down. Lol
Did BMO Capital specify which market??

This has "potential" to be good news in the long term. Meanwhile the crypto craze continues to capture "potential"
buyers of what used to be precious metals. ??

Nov.12, 2007...spot silver price was $14.70. 10 years later it's $17.00.
We've had massive worldwide inflation during those 10 years and silver spot price is up minimally.
I would be surprised to see silver spot
drop below $10.00.
With massive inflation these past 10 years, it's surprising to me that it's not over $100/oz.

The stock price is reflecting macro economy issues. Imo
The market maker on this stock is probably nothing but an algorithm model
that mostly incorporates index movements. Imo

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-11-10/someone-just-puked-over-4-billion-notional-gold-futures

Gold futures also hit with 3billion on Thursday.

It looks like PM's will be manipulated right up to when the last snowflake starts the avalanche.

The risk of owning this stock might move from silver price risk to political risk and financial meltdown risk. I hope there is a window to retrieve value during the meltdown.

Yes, and the Senators want to maintain their artificially created home values. They are apparently proposing keeping $1mm itemized deduction in place. Its such a scam...its amazing young people in high cost cities don't riot. There is no way for average income households to buy real estate in NYC and SF bay and other cities without help or subsidy. I smell a meltdown in asset values. People are finally seeing the fraud and corruption throughout our government. Imo

Politicians answer to the Central bankers around the world. They will eventually fall off the tight rope they've been walking. Yes, Idcc and other stocks will be impacted when they fall. Btw...the tax plan proposed by prez,and both house and Senate is NOT tax reform. Tax reform would be nothing short of a combination flat/vat tax that replace income tax. That is the only way to reign in Federal government spending. Imo

Mick, I gotta believe IDCC execs are trying to work out a deal with ZTE now. Keep in mind that ZTE can take their chances and hope SCOTUS will hear an appeal of the CAFC decision.

OD, thanks for that information. In today's world with Central bank money printing to infinity... is it any wonder that earnings take a back seat to revenues in stock valuations?

Mick, QCOM designs chips and then outsourced manufacturing. Apple utilizes a similar model. Interdigital attempts to license its IP. This s a different business model. It's probably a mistake to compare QCOM and Interdigital.

Yes...agreed, I think that is wise. Perception as a patent troll is not good for the company or the stock.

A legal win is not the same as $ in the bank. I think investors get it. Hence...why the stock has not reacted strongly. Unfortunately, this is a show me the money stock and overall environment. Imo

Management seems to be emphasizing long term results when referencing issues specific to EXK. Easy for them as they continue to draw a salary. If they really are focused on long term results, they should find a way to pay investors in the short term...even if it's a small dividend. Seems like a viable way to attract serious long term investors. Imo

Well, it certainly would be a diversification play from triple digit P/E to a single digit P/E. Seems like a good move to me. Lol

Yep, the whole market is gamed. Bezos sold over 1Billion $ worth of Amazon last week. Maybe the end is near.

Yep. It's why the the so called market is not really a market.

Amazing, apparently the Algos don't care.

After yesterday's slam to add onto previous downward stock movement it seems like a reversal should be likely if Brad's comments come to fruition.


Endeavour CEO Bradford Cooke commented, “Our Third Quarter earnings, cash flow and revenues were down from Q3, 2016 but improved significantly compared to the Q2, 2017. Given that Guanacevi had to deal with new electrical and pump issues due to a lightning strike in July, now partly resolved, we anticipate continued improvement of our operating and financial performance in the Fourth Quarter 2017. 

Obviously some leaking. New Investor relations Director has some challenges.

Wow! Apparently some bad news leaked at end of trading day. Huge volume as stock tanked.

FRB...supposedly moving toward balance sheet normalization in October. Didn't happen. Last weekly report shows 5 Billion $ increase. Will investors finally recognize the box the FRB is in?

New Director of investor relations announced today. Q3 results announced tomorrow. Maybe she brought some new $ into exk today. Lol

Is high grade silver used mostly in industrial applications? This stock seems like it will continue on a downward slope as PMs continue to lose their luster. Management might best serve shareholders here by selling the company. Imo

Yep, I agree with you... it will be a process and will require block chain advancement that governments can adopt.
Meanwhile if a snowflake lands that sets off an economic avalanche, all bets are off as to the future of currencies. Gold and silver would likely move up in that environment...at least in the short term. Imo

I think a financial shock that devalues the dollar will also devalue crypto i.e. bitcoin. A shock could move gold and silver prices up, and still see the miners stocks lag or go down short term. A slow protracted dollar devaluation could see cryptos continue to rise and ultimately replace paper fiat. Only Time will tell how this evolves. Jmo

Yes, mining stocks i.e. exk are valued based on underlying commodities value. The problem with exk is that silver prices seem to be locked in a tight range for the long term. It appears to me that a transition from paper fiat currencies could bypass gold and silver to crypto currencies. Jmo

And on Friday the 13th in the scary month of October there is this...https://stocknewstimes.com/2017/10/13/endeavour-silver-corporation-exk-lowered-to-strong-sell-at-zacks-investment-research.html

I'm pretty sure they are hoping to kick the can to future generations. So far it looks good. Markets up again. QE created massive inflation in debt market which in turn created artificial inflated values in real estate and stock markets. The ponzi scheme will work until it doesn't.
