The days of long instant runs on potentially very good news are behind us - for some good reasons. The pool of investors here are primarily longs, who have weathered many, many storms, lots of "seems like almosts" - only to have the stock return to pre-excitement levels.
Such is the education/learning curve of hotly debated IP litigation. But what makes this stock special is that at the FOUNDATION - we have some extremely strong points: Try as they May - Apple and all of the major silicon valley giants have FAILED to put an end to VPLM. And OH have they tried.
Yet PTAB, and actual IP experts continually validate and re-validate these patents.
Yes - using all of the might and political insidership (shouldn't be a thing, but it undeniably is) in the Northern Cal District courts - Apple had some success using dirty tricks that shut down VPLM arguments before even giving them a basic hearing.
NOW - and in large part - DUE to an intense hatred of Patent-owner abuses in NCDA, we have a champion of a Judge in Waco, whose life's work is largely dedicated to seeing that Patent Litigation is handled fairly and even-handedly.
We've never looked for an unfair advantage - Just a proper hearing. Is that so much to ask?
Apparently so, in NCDA
So, likely, we'll continue to see small runs, smacking of tired, but fervent hope - spiked temporarily by daytraders who love to play with a stock that's moving for short term gains - then returning to an ever-increasing status quo level - right up till that moment when, inevitably at this point, the details of a settlement agreement are made public - at which point, I anticipate a sharp, long-term and almost instant rise in the pps, creating a new "baseline" - from which all new gains will be measured, as additional infringers read the writing on the wall and fall in line - or a buyout, likely from one of the largest infringers, takes place - in which case, shares will likely be frozen, and monetized.
If this were a "fake" ... "troll"... etc., the opportunity for that to be proven has long since come and gone. The question is: How much can you spare, right now, for a no-brainer that might take a little time? IMHO
