Dishfan, I could be wrong but Colson only bought 2000 shares out of his pocket at market price when he was appointed to the board. I would assume since he's on the board if he made a purchase we would see a SEC filing.
The rest of his shares IMO have been awarded to him and other board members according to what management thought was right.
I assume the board members have some function but to date I have a hard time finding anyone that has made a contribution to IDCC.
If they have done so I wish management would compliment them at least once a year in the annual report.
put yourself in the brain of him,out of him out of 165k shares that he's acquiring by the option operation he is selling 50k or roughfly 30% he's keeping 70% tranlated in to plain language that means he's covering his bank and HE STRONGLY THINKS :THAT THE STOCK WILL GO UP tight lines malko
