Jfyi, I still have my 69 Deville conv: There is something incredibly fun about a 472 CID and a car as "big as a whale"(B52s). Before this is deleted by the retards here; YOU neeed to pay off all of your properties. Now, like by the end of the 2nd quarter. Buy food. Hide it. If you took my advice to read the Goolag Archipelago, you will know where we are at in the 4 stage process...We are here, rolling towards the two week scenario when the world turns upside down in a very, very short time.. Don't buy bullion, buy shotguns and canned goods. Get the hell out of the cities and suburbs. Now. If not you are either superman or .....well, yeah. I do have some kind words for all of those who deleted my comments over the 12 years on WDDD:
"When viewpoints like this were posted a few years ago - they were removed as not relevant or misinformation."
Yes, so true Caddilac Man.
"Objectivity is the coffee to drunken subjectiveness"
Its Alive.
When all is said and done, we just need to pray for Thomas Kidrin. Maybe he will be all right.
So well said, sir.
Its the last quarter with 4 minutes left to go, down by 14 points and the fans are slowly emptying the stands.....Been here too long just to quit, so I am just going to sit until the team leaves the field.. miracles do happen every day. just ask the eagles
WDDD is kinda like the "Bad News Bears" movie starring Walter Matthau and Tatum O'neal, a story about an aging minor leaguer coaching a bunch of misfit kids in a very competitive California little league arena. Kidrin is the coach and maybe we are the bunch of misfits. Well, happy 4th of July everyone! A bunch of optimistic idealistic misfits built the country back in 1776, so why couldn't we hit a home run here too? I still have every single share of my WDDD stocks bought over a freakin' lifetime it seems, lol. (Yes, I probably need therapy). Maybe this loser CEO can get it together. One thing I always liked about the board was the optimism among us. We really are positive people to be here. We have incredible patience. We have waited this long, why not a little longer.
Good Luck To ALL.
No wait! It's a buying opportunity! Down 36% in one day? Investors love Thom. He has made many rich boat owning tycoons here! Just wait, you will have a row boat in no time at all, just buy the dddddiiiiiiiiips and hold, right? Thom is a genius!
Sorry about the late reply. Crypto is the new pot stock craze, IMO. Will Bitcoin be outlawed? I don't see it in the near future(5 years). Some form of government regulated 'crypto' is inevitable, IMO. JFYI, I took a crazy position with the USD\Ruble on Forex when the fake press announced the Ruble was tanking. What a freaking ride. It has now regained almost all it lost against the dollar, lol. AND I am not selling yet. What a ride. GLTA
Yeah, don't hold your breath. We have been there before. The only silver lining is, IMO, the CEO won't do any pie in the sky statements that will cause a shareholder revolt/litigation if it doesn't pan out. So, if he does say something positive, it might pan out. I don't see this guy going out on a limb for anything. Your thoughts of the price fluctuations are spot on. You get a lot of flack for thinking objectively regarding the stock: keep it up:). I am sure there are others, like myself, following the stock who don't post all the time who feel the same way. Good Luck and God Bless.
Just like he did with MRMD. Just another pot play to him. IMO, he thinks we are all that stupid. $Bitcoin$ is a good investment as the dollar will collapse, IMO, soon. Asset backed currencies are even better. Putin has given any unfriendly countries buying Oil and Natural gas until Friday to buy it with rubles, gold, or $Bitcoin$ to comply. Not dollars. Word is that Russia is now moving to back it's ruble with asset backed commodities. You know, gold, silver, nickel, oil, natural gas.
Unfortunately, the WDDD CEO is a little late on the bitcoin front, don't you think?
All of this will pass.
You might consider the regime that is running the courts and patent system right now that is systematically destabilizing our country. This country is at a crossroads between Globalist control or Independence. China, India, Pakistan, Russia, and now the Saudis(!) are taking sides. The Globalists are in control here in the US. IMO, They will be removed by the next administration. Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Twitter, all are traitors as are many others. This "Great Reset" will backfire. I look forward to seeing Gates, Schwab, Bezos tried for crimes against humanity. The globalists may appear to be getting everything they want; we will see. I am also not worried about the fate of WDDD in the short term. Kidrin lives in a 2.800sf home valued at 2.8 million. IMO, he is just another self centered, self serving, condescending kind of fun guy who has no wants or needs and is far from understanding what we, as investors in his company are going through. He is doing just fine and could at any time finance whatever he sees fit. WDDD, IMO, will continue and eventually prevail when 'justice' finally prevails in our Globalist occupied country. We will finally shed this international criminal cabal.

It has always been a gamble. It would just be nice if the little guy won this time. Going to be buying more shares instead of a new vehicle(i'm at 107k on the odemeter) this year. That and my shamrock plant came back to life recently. That is my state of rationality for this stock at this point, lol.
GLTA,
God help us if we, as sinners, ask him for advice to play the market
Don't worry, Gates and his buddies at Davos loves useful pedophiles like ACTI CEO. They have leverage on him.
Microsoft bought Activision as part of it's accelerating metaverse project. It is a Davos/Schwab/Great reset project. Don't worry, Gates and company will settle this WDDD thing in a heartbeat. Why? Settling once and for all the 3D WDDD IP is good for their(great reset) metaverse project. Here is the World Economic Forum article on why Gates bought the company. Pay close attention to the image of the AI/Metaverse. IMO, it is no less than a paradigm shift for the human race and coming for your children.

Yes comrade, lets hope that happens!
As we 'patiently' wait for the CAFC outcome, here is a tribute to Activision when they had the best darn video game series on the planet,
Command and Conquer! This is what WDDD's STOLEN software was able to create back in the 90's! . There is still an incredible following currently, including recent halarious memes regarding Ukraine/Russia. All of this game referencing is still ongoing in spite of the Activision CEO cancelling the series many, many years ago.

" It would be lucky to get into the .20s before the CAFC hearing."
Agreed. The silver lining in all of this is Microsoft's acquisitoin of Activision and their lawsuit with WDDD.
If(a really big IF) we survive the sabotage by an idiot judge a few months ago and actually prevail at the CAFC, this will go parabolic.
Why? The idiot pedophile demonic totally immoral sinister morally bankrupt entity at the helm of Activision for decades will be out of the picture. Yes, the ones that stole the IP in the first place won't be making the decisions anymore. Microsoft will fart in the general direction of the fart smeller WDDD CEO with a reasonable solution(IMO), and the issue will be resolved before any court case will resume.
With my 5th grade education and a bottle of Mirani(MRIB) vodka, is my opinion of two scenarios for WDDD in the coming months:
1. WDDD loses and goes sub penny until the cows come home.
2. Win at CAFC, settlement, and reasonable return on our hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard earned investment.
GLTA
WDDD: I'm not dead!
Activision: Well, he will be soon. He's very ill. Here's your 9 pence!
Lets take a look at what we are up against here, in a different way. Our dear Activision CEO: What an upstanding person. Here is a viewpoint from a gamer channel on YouTube from a few years back that, imo, sums up our dear beloved Activision leader oh so well;
Yeah, lol(!), deafening. That is a very good way to put it!

If Activision were a cat, it would have 900 lives! In a day and age of cancel culture, you would think sexual harassment along with other nasty accusations would land the ilk of Activision a very nasty fine. 18 Million? Really? They seem to slither out of large settlements in the federal courts. They can fart and spend 18 million. Even California is getting the shaft from these federal judges. I am very curious to see what the retards at the 9th fed courts of appeal will have to say. JMHO. Good Luck to All
"Jan. 7, 2022, 10:33 PM
California and federal agencies both sued Activision
Judge blocked state from intervening in EEOC settlement
California’s civil rights agency said Friday it would appeal the decision blocking it from intervening in an $18 million settlement between Activision Blizzard Inc. and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The state’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing sued the gaming giant in July, alleging systemic harassment and a toxic workplace culture.
The EEOC, which conducted its own investigation into Activision’s workplace issues, announced it had reached a settlement resolving harassment claims in September.
California sought to join the federal case in order to oppose the settlement, which it said resolves claims the federal agency lacks standing to prosecute, and would harm the state’s own case.
In December, Judge Dale S. Fischer of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California rejected California’s bid to enter the case, but said she would allow DFEH to file an amicus brief.
“The first interest belongs to the individuals who might make claims under the claims process, not to DFEH,” Fischer wrote in denying the intervention motion. “DFEH’s argument would allow it potentially to intervene in almost any employment action in California.”
DFEH filed a notice of appeal in hopes the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit will revive the agency’s bid for official recognition in the case.
Paul Hastings LLP represents Activision.
The case is U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Activision Blizzard, Inc., No. 2:21-cv-07682, 1/7/22 .

But: Then.... well, the pendulum will shift. Think of Dr. Phibes. It is not over until, well, political winds..the times, they are a changin' my friends. Hand in there, as the kitty would have you know. You are all loved.
Hey old owl, all is not lost. I send you this link to contemplate. Somehow, I feel compelled to reply. Please forgive the intrusion to a long lived spirit such as yours.
It would be wonderful if the "old owl" is a real person. This entity hanged in there when the lights went out years ago. Seems like this entity only suffered the long tenuous years of waiting only to be defiled by a democratic president's appointed judge. Well. Whitey Bulger. Well. The long Kiss Goodnight, waiting for that decision from this judge who punted right off the bat. "Oh, lets see what so and so has to say before we proceed". Old Owl, we should have known then.
Only Tom Petty could describe what happened to this stock.
Has anyone heard from Quilt lately? I hope he is doing well. It would be nice to hear his take on the current events.
Yeah, that is a good question. When Patentplays was informing folks during the VRNG trial, he was a godsend to investors, providing up to date info that probably saved many investors a small fortune. I know my tail would have certainly been shut in the door if I had not joined his emails. Didn't somebody on here say they had a Pacer account?
It might be good to remember what administration the 101 rule (ALice) was brought before SCOTUS. Here is an old piece a little while after the 101 rule came to be. Notice the success rates at the time, and the then current POTUS admin. that also coincidentally installed our judge.

Gee, did the moderators ban everyone? lol!!
Its like going fishing with a bunch of hardy friends at a regularly visited lake, where fish tales abound, but times seem to suggest the opposite. Notwithstanding, you still go because you are a hardy man and your friends do this instinctually, bringing lots of libations and booze to get them by. Then we start to get bites. Is that a fish? Hmm. Glugg glug. They are in here, I know it. Saw a dead one floating near the shore. They are here. I know it. I am going to stay here until I get one, says a buddy. Me to, I say. Dang, evening comes and they are jumpin all over the place, right out of the water. We get excited, then it quiets down. We know lunkers are just under the surface, but all we can do is wait. Have a drink and be with the ones who count. There is hope in the future. Go WDDD and GL to all Longs!
LOL, best post this week. I increased my shares during that 'death spiral' as well. It is called an opportunity.
Yes, your reasoning is probably more even headed than mine, lol. I can see your point and it is less idealistic than mine, and more likely to prevail. I just want to see justice served. Doesn't seem to happen much these days.
Well, it has a hard time passing up a gas station like my Avalanche, lol. I have a collection, but I mainly have things from my youth to remind me of how stupid I was, lol. Should have bought a honda accord, lol. Do you remember Rambus vs MU on RDRAM tech? That is when I took on tech IP stuff, back in around 2009. What a rollercoaster. What I am trying to say is, I took a position and bet against Rambus and just held. The stock was incredibly volatile right before the verdict. I mean it was insane, but MU went to trial with Rambus and previaled. I saw my money evaporate then come back charging in minutes. It was Mr. Toad's wild ride on meth. If I were a cat, I lost 8 lives in the interim. If I were Kidrin, I would want my day in court. Having to be humiliated all this time by hapless nerds who didn't even know if what they were initially doing would play out, and not end up in bankruptcy years ago, then became emboldened with money and what kinds of lawyers it gets you, well, just think of the Rambus vs MU case and ask yourself if justice should be served to those idiots who chose to give the finger to Kidrin's paradigm changing IP. Kidrin lost on the world stage his righful place in the heritage of computing. He was erased as a true PIONEER of 3D. GLTALs!
Yes, they have. Several. I may be wrong too, but I didn't see any patent lawsuits being settled prior to their day in court. The others were related to other issues, employees, shareholders, squabbles between Bungie and other companies unrelated to patent litigation and indeed they settled, sometimes the day before the trial.
Here is a "look" into the kinds of scumbag shenanigans the board of Activision is capable of:
https://www.courthousenews.com/activision-shareholders-nab-huge-settlement/
And IMO, they don't do IP settlements.
If you have seen a back alley pool hustler, you have seen an Activision board member in action.
Here for the trial win. Shares set in stone. I will bet you my '69 Deville Conv. w/42k and a 472CID that it goes to trial. Activision will never settle. Have they ever?
There was a time, not so long ago(in decades) that I almost went broke. I am not worried about a reverse split agian as well. BUT. If this Kid(ren) takes us for a ride again, yeah, I will have a problem with that. You better think about us shareholders sitting in shackles in the dungeon for YEARs, hanging onto your sparse PRs, hoping for the BEST and pissing against the wind(Patent Boards) through the years. We have hard earned money here. You better do what is right for the common shareholders, matey. That is all I ask. I have looked at your holdings including your properties without mortgages. Do not throw us under the bus. AND you know what I mean, as do others here.
Yes, a great line,
"pick a spot on the ask price and push the button"
Good luck to you. I averaged down after the markman only to be reverse split 5/1, lol.
