I take a lot of chance's with my investing. I try to get in at a low share price and hopefully stick it out. I am in 3 different emerging sectors.[can't mention two of them on this board]. I am in 2 sectors that have already emerged. IDCC and SQNS. I certainly will congratulate You on being skeptical. That is the mark of a smart investor. JMO Good Luck to You also, fellow IDCC investor. BTW: My only regret was back in 1999. I should have bought Qualcomm when they settled their CDMA litigation with Ericsson. $95 Bucks a share.
