Glen. RE:BARCLAYS In theory I agree...Here's the problem... From a purely practical perspective firing them at this point would be counterproductive. It definitely would not increase shareholder value.
Reasons: 1.inevitable Litigation with Barclay
2.FUD-as a result of Delay of Deal-process F Fear of- NO DEAL U Uncertainty- of who and if somone would take their place D Doubt- that a deal would ever get done.
Disgruntled investors would exit Shorts would be all over this...
RE:IDCC's pat firewall response to investors It's all they can do publicly at this time.
What we can hope is behind the scenes they are all over them. We can hope that they are diligent at watching every move Barclays makes moving forward.
My concern is that IDCC will be bullied and intimidated by Barclays. What is clear to me is that IDCC does not have a strong record for monetizing their assets . ( ie Apple) They need to sell the business to a larger concern that will accomplish that objective. That is the ily way to increase shareholder value at this point.
IDCC and Rodney Dangerfield continue to have one thing in common... "they don't get no respect"
