InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

Jimlur: Do we really have to go thru this tired, old song and dance routine about "insider selling" again. Do people here really have a bad case of amnesia? I can't think of a single NEW idea about this topic, like "incentive options", that hasn't been covered in the previous round of insider selling.

Unless it can be shown to have some direct impact on the fundamental value and risk/benefit calculation underlying the ultimate success of IDCC, why should a long term shareholder care if insider's collectively sell some small percentage of their collectively held shares? If you want to trade the stock, you might take note of it as a possible clue to calculate your trading points of entry or exit. What other significance do you think it has? Perhaps to play mindreading and paranoid mindgames about motives, plots and intrigues that are pure speculation and fantasy. I guess that is the fond fodder of the usual investment message board, and I guess this one isn't that much different from any other.

Forgive my rant here, but I do not relish another irrelevant round of management bashing and shareholder activism and secret scheming if we see another round of some insider selling. We have surely had enough of that with the discussion of options, don't you think? The ultimate choice for investors always remains the same: buy, sell or hold.
