Spree,

Look up "Straw man argument" - you've mastered the art. I'm not talking about Mickey's predictions, which were fairly consistent with only the date changed. I'm talking about well reasoned speculation about the trial, settlement and progress that you discredit without any specific rebuttal. I’m also talking about my post regarding the 10x5y website that listed the criteria for their number one stock in the entire market. Are you dismissing it because you don’t know them, so therefore anything they say is irrelevant? Is it because you don’t agree with their analysis? Is it because you don’t think IDCC is the stock they are talking about? Still waiting for a reasoned response on WHY you feel that my post of that information is another crazy notion that will turn out to be false

What is my record that you refer to? but with the record of you and this board i highly doubt it It’s easy and fun to throw out comments without any thought or research, like my previous post to you. But it really doesn’t do much to help anyone learn. In an effort to make amend, I tell you what - If you give me a real answer, I’ll buy you a shift key for your computer!

I listen to the BBC world report and I did not hear them report the rumor you stated and you did not provide a link. If you think we don't think you're capable of lying, I don't know what to tell you (note the spelling, y-o-u). I know the U.S. government can and will lie. If they truly have captured OBL or others and our denying it to enable them to fully exploit the enemy, great. The sources of the rumors could very well be someone trying to get attention or some cash from a news agency for the scoop. I don't know if it is true or not – I’m curious as to why you feel this is something that needs to be posted to the IDCC board.

Message boards can still influence stock prices. What you or I post will not, but if JimLur posted something he was confident of, I would take a position based on his information and I think a few others would as well. It's just that very few posters have the respect and credibility to do it. I think you do believe posts can influence price because otherwise you would not be so intent on correcting all the positive speculation. Oh, I forgot, you are just protecting the little guy...probably so you can sell him a McDonalds franchise in India with a 20 mile exclusivity radius.
