That was a cheap short shot....but understandable....coming from you. You have a tendency at moments to be condescending and dismissive. Not your best quality...
I was sorry to see your post ... and yes it bothered me in light of the source, circumstances, and the difference in our styles. That being said I often am interested in your analysis. Our styles of communicating are at best different.
For the record... I still am very positive about IDCC....just don't like where we are at right now.... We've been here before ... many of us....I am far from giving up on kop...just bothered like many by the recent surprises. As far your trading ...I was genuinely sorry that you got caught near the top.
As to me being Defensive... hmmmm.....doth you think most think your sudden change from trader to long was by design....
LET YOUR RECENT POSTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.... Lets pass and review... YOUR POSTS...
3/10/2004 [.b] Well like most others, got hit pretty good today. Still a few things need to be figured out. Nice that they bog boys got the heads up, or at least it appears. In any event I'm long NOW. Force play. Not liken it.
Things to do
Study the NAS. Primary Follow this drop, no rush. Listen to the CC no rush
Find ART and ask him all about this blowout qt were having and all those privates messages stating so Find Teecee and see if his cheerleader outfit in on. Let me guess just another minor pull back, right Find tfwg and see if we made another 25 to 30 mil that they didn't count Find mschere and see if he's alive after losing 8 million plus Find sluggo because he is dump as a rock but can communicate with all above. Find hookwhatever and see how that pipe watching is going nvestors Hub - InterDigital Communications (IDCC)Post #61760 http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=2569984
3/10/2004 Remember we also have the NAS trending down. 1880 if she makes the full break. 1600 if it's a very unlikely collapse. The bulk of drop for IDCC has already happened. Fear ruled today, but logic rules most others. And as mentioned we are over sold. We made 2 cents to the good side, many acted like we lost a buck. Give people time to think it over.
Date:3/11/2004 Lets see, first lets look at a persons mental well being. The stock just dropped 10 dollars. The mood is let sell now before we lose it all, right.
I know, we can sell now and buy back at a lower price. Ok what price is that ? Don't know do you? THE TRUE TRADER AT HEART...AND A GOOD ONE JUST DOESN'T LIKE TO LOOSE
If you can lose the emotion and you do happen to be a pro trader and KNOW were to buy back and you have already factored the tax issue, the 30 day and the wash factors, go ahead and make your play. However if you don't just hold
For me it will be shooting a little pool.
BTW Nicmar , if you happen to read this 7 above right now with a heavy wind from the North. Possible record low temp being set tonight. You bet, the perfect week. Just glad I'm not going to see the Doc this week.LOL http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=2581425

Bottom line a mistake" All in all it will get me to refocus. Trading isn't met to be easy, took a little too much for granted. Bought some more yesterday and today.
STOCK PRICE AT THAT TIME.... Date Open High Low Close Volume 12-Mar-04 18.33 19.43 18.20 18.88 1,621,700 11-Mar-04 18.85 19.22 17.54 17.70 2,442,100
While I appreciate your skills... I feel your recent interest as a long is a bit disingenuous ... if I am wrong ... your posts are at the very least confusing....I will allow others to decide for themselves.
Your comment to me as 'being defensive' is inaccurate ... and inappropriate. I am concerned....as I am a long term long and heavily weighted in this stock,... When I loose 10 + points on thousands of shares of stock I stop and evaluate. I have increased my core position over the years many times over. It has not been my practice to trade in and out of the stock as a general investing style. I have ridden the waves of IDCC since 98 accumulating stock when it seemed appropriate. I have also noted when I felt the best buying opportunities were clear. They are not clear to me at this moment .....certainly the are better then 27....they are also better then at 19+ when you posted 16 days ago....
