Insider buying

If the buying is due to some sort of management edict, then it is a way to provide a short term bump to the share price while mollifying shareholders that feel that if insiders buy shares they are more aligned with shareholder interests. It also means that these folks are going to be continuing with IDCC. IMO, in this case, long term affect is minimal.

If the buying is due to some sort of special offer (like the option to buy 4 times the amount at the same price at a future date), then it is a way to provide compensation to the officers and providing a short term bump to the share price while mollifying shareholders that feel that if insiders buy shares they are more aligned with shareholder interests. IMO, in this case, long term affect is minimal.

If the buying is truly voluntary, based on the individuals' beliefs that at these levels IDCC is significantly undervalued, then the buys are indicative that people with deep knowledge of IDCC's position see a great long term investment because they are willing to increase their over weighted concentration of investment, income and retirement in IDCC. IMO, in this case, the long term outlook for IDCC is bright.

Given the multiple simultaneous purchases, it appears to me that there was some pressure to make purchases. I sincerely hope that we don't find out that these purchases have incentives beyond the return on their investment.
