InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

[F6]

whizzer -- simply allow a continuingly independent IDCC to continue to execute on its current business plan, and nobody (not Harry, and not even you) will need for IDCC to be bought out in order to be able to "cash in" appreciated shares and realize gains greater than will ever be realized via a buyout that occurs before a continuingly independent IDCC has had the chance to substantially complete executing its current business plan

speaking generally, this obsession of some here with the notion of IDCC being bought out (at any time within the next couple of years) -- as if that could ever be the best thing for current IDCC longs -- is most definitely an "idiot" thing, and not a "genius" thing, and brings to mind nothing so much as the blissfully ignorant moth circling in to its death in the candle's flame

think about it -- why would a bidder bid? why, to realize excess returns, over and above the buyout price, of course -- and who would be giving up those excess returns? why, the current IDCC longs (including Harry, and even you), of course

what the hell is so hard for some here to understand about this??
