nessco .. What we do know is that if you are a long term investor, he is an evil person that has caused a temporary paper loss.
Wouldn't you agree that the evaluation of Mr. Tilden needs to be expanded beyond just his insider sales before concluding he is an "evil person" if you are a long term investor? We know very little about Mr. Tilden's contributions (or lack thereof) to the past, present and future success of the company and in turn the stock price. Perhaps he can justifiably lay claim to a portion of the stock price appreciation that is several times the temporary paper loss caused by his sales to date and that this is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Heck, he might be the most important member of the management team for all we know. That would make him a heroic person to long term investors rather than evil.
What we do know is he is the most effective communicator in upper management. If there is one thing this company has needed since I became an investor 5 years ago, it is someone who could tell the IDCC story well. I have little doubt that he more than anyone else at the company is responsible for getting our sell side analysts on board as well as many institutional investors. That was critical to the stock price appreciation to date and will be even more so in the future.
I have no knowledge of what other accomplishments Mr. Tilden has achieved that have and will propel the stock price upward. But is it conceivable that he is a real strategic thinker who is and will be the primary architect of IDCC's business plan? Sure it is. Might he be a highly visible motivator at the company that is the catalyst that drives the management team and key employees to succeed? Equally possible. And so on.
Have a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Danny
