IDCC Money

I will repeat my self, Please IDCC retire as much stock as possible, and then split the stock for one or raise the amount of shares allowed to be outstanding to 200 million and split the stock 5 for 1 after retiring more of the shares. If you don't raise the amount of shares allowed and you retire stock you could still probably split it 3 for 1. So many of your shareholders have tax loss carry forward, that they could sell shares of the stock after the split and pay no taxes, but if you should pay a dividend they will have to pay taxes on the dividend. They may not have tax loss on IDCC but I would imagine they do have tax loss on other stocks, or could take the loss to offset the gains on the sale of the IDCC stock. This would not cost IDCC anymore than paying the dividend. If you have shareholder interest at heart then you can do this and then declare a .01 cent dividend to please the street who likes stocks that pays a dividend. Your constant flow of income would certainly allow you do do both with no problem, and you can continue to retire stock after the split and also increase the dividend. You will be in a very fortunate position to do one or both and still be very well off financially with cash.

Just my personal opinion.
