'Rob' What Is Your Question?

1. I'm NOT trying to convince you to change your mind if you're even an IDCC shareholder. Make up your own mind. Gee--you have said that you already have--in April and now again in May.

2. I have NO DOUBT that NOK will pay--one way or another, voluntarily or through litigation. I sure wouldn't bet that they're going to get away without paying.

3. I am entirely confident that managemnt is doing all they can to resolve the issue ASAP. However, they don't control the decision making process of NOK management all of whom are paid significantly more than IDCC management by the way.

4. What is the rush? The rush for what? The rush to approve the options plan? Well my guess is that IDCC plans a new acquistion or major expansion in their workforce and/or wants the flexibility to do so. Beyond that management has simply stated that the reason for the new options is in order to recruit and retain top talent in a highly competitive field.

rob,

You asked a legitimate question and one that bothers me too. We do not know why management could not wait for a year and that bothers me too, the fact that nobody knows why, and it was never explained why.

But IDCC is on a roll and do I want to upset the applecart? Not at this time. As long as the options are priced at the current market price, I don't care if it is 100 million options. The only way the option ia of any value, as Joel pointed out, is if the share price goes up and that makes me happy. The first rule in investing is not to lose money.
