Good question wilco...It seems that in spite of jimlur and other's attempts to quash this ongoing options debate, and limit the sniper shots taken at other shareholder's, there are a few that for "some reason" just feel a need to continue to unnecessarily stir up crap. Of course, IDCC's Colson and his uncannily excellent timing of his sale doesn't help either.

PS: Data, just wondering...how many patents and inventions has Mr. Colson contributed to IDCC IP assets? LOL!

Don't be one-dimensional.

The clear trend is the steady increase in institutional ownership and the steady decrease in individual ownership.

This is what many refer to as the change from weaker hands to
stronger hands.

The bear raids on this stock are clearly aimed at the individual investors who obsess over everything. Institutions have more resources to compare executive compensation, dilution and IP contract terms. Clearly, those bear raids have shaken out more individual investors than institutional investors.
