I believe that the only thing that can be said unequivocally, with the information available to the public, is that it is in the best interest of VPLM to, unflinchingly, be moving toward trial while in possession of a large number of pre trial rulings in its favor. How they get there is a strategy, and that strategy seems to be to not act like a typical patent troll with tons of bluster. This seems to be a bit different than the way things were several years ago when hints of some very large damages were made more frequently. Face it, we are merely shareholders, who liked the story when we bought the shares, and we are simply passengers on the bus. We can get off any time we want or we can become bigger players and maybe fight for a seat on the board (that is a very large buy in). We are entitled to nothing but the required reporting (which people who understand this much better than I insist is adequate), we certainly are not entitled a blow by blow of the secret and likely NDA protected negotiations that could be concurrent and further complicated by the simultaneous dependency of negotiations going on between several other defendants in other separate but related cases. Relevant facts will be revealed when they need to be, in court, and the court cases seem imminent. What the stock price is now relatively meaningless in comparison to what lies ahead. What is relevant is what happens to the price when the defendants have the true threat of a viable case staring them in the face and that time seems to be rapidly approaching. I just pray that the delays that have happened in the past have all been exhausted. We all have been patient for a long time and it looks like we are right at the cusp of being rewarded for that patience. Let's keep the faith and see what happens between now and the July pre-trial conference date and those that follow. To me, the current stock price has nothing to do with what the price will end up being once these cases truly become real to the defendants. Just my opinion.
