Thanks for sharing that Jimlur!

I agree with Claremont and L2V, aside from a technical glitch with the audio that was out of IDCC's control, I too thought the presentation was all-in-all pretty good. Of course, it covered much old ground that we here are aware of, but IDCC shared some of their new, evolving ideas and direction as well. Remember, most in the audience at Needham probably know far less about IDCC than even the average poster here.

I think it was presented in a positive and professional manner, properly aimed at the audience it was meant for: i.e. the analysts, brokers, fund managers, etc. that were present at the conference. It was not meant to be some flashy, glitzy infomercial... pressuring the audience for one quick sale or 5 easy payments of $19.99. After all, they are not selling Vegematics or Ginsu knives or even George Foreman's grill; they are trying to garner interest and instill confidence in IDCC as a viable investment, an investment creating long term value.

Using Janet instead of Fagan, while making the presentation "sexier" for some here (including myself, hehe), would probably not have added anything of substance for the target audience. This is not to say that Janet is not qualified to give a substantive presentation, and I LOOK forward to seeing more participation by Janet in the future.

Granted, while Fagan's oratorical skills insure he will not be mistaken for the reincarnation of William Jennings Bryan, utilizing the CFO of the company does add an element of credibility to the presentation that maybe some previous presenters, Rip for instance, did not have.

From your post... "Can you imagine what $1 Billion dollars in profit would mean to a company with a 50 million share float? That would be $20 a share earning per year and a share price somewhere between $200 and $400 a share."

Wow! My first thought was... "great, that is a lofty goal to strive for!"

My second thought was... "It's a good thing the person making that statement remains anonymous. Can you imagine the ridicule that would be inflicted upon me or another long here if we had made such a prediction?" Many already think I'm CRAZY... that would seal the deal, LOL!
