InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

Mickey, I don't want to make this post about me or it will be too OT.
bought IDC on the AMEX as low as $2.00 per share and made some money over the first year or so trading it before taking a million dollar shot on some $5 long out of the money calls at like 3/8 or something low like that.

I wasn't predicting the halycon days of $82, but felt like things were primed to go up so I bought more than 100 contracts six months out to expire in September. They expired worthless, but it was October or November that IDCC went to $82 at which point my $5 calls would have been worth a million dollars.

You gotta watch a stock that almost made you a millionaire. When you were out of IDC after your margin call those many years ago, are you saying you didn't still follow it or the message boards?

Nothing nefarious on my part, just kind of a stalker here now and respond once in a while to a poster who makes a point that resonates with me.
