InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

Born in the Bronx you have to be a Yankee Fan like I was. An incredible game last night both sides played with heart and soul. What does that have to do with IDCC?

In my opinion, it is not smart to route for a stock like you would route for your favorite sports team. I've seen many individuals over the years who run companies look out for themselves first before the shareholders. I'm not saying Merritt is guilty of this but what I am saying is that we should not hold back criticism just because we are routing for the stock to go up.

As owners of this company the employees, Merritt included work for us. It is like running a business. Sometimes when you criticise an employee you do it because you want him/her to perform better not because you wish to fire that person. I want Merritt to perform better so I am complaining not about his overall job but the pace at which these licenses are coming in. You may be critising him because insider selling sometimes has negative implications on the street.

In both of these cases I feel the criticism is fair. I have seen management listen to complaints and respond, that is what good companies do. So when shareholders who have hard earned money invested here complain, they have a right to at the very least be heard.

I want IDCC to do well but when I see faults I want to be able to state them without being labled a short or a basher or a Red Sox Fan.
