Mickey -- dead wrong -- options are not priced until the date that they are GRANTED.

Mickey, once again you suffer from premature articulation ;)

Only Bolgiano and Goldberg are scheduled to receive option grants on June 4, 2003.

There you go again foaming at the mouth, Mickey.

IDCC has probably outperformed more than 90% of the market during the last 5 years -- most certainly 99% of the market during the last 2 years. Yet insider selling is not a major issue in 99% of companies.

Why?

Insider selling is just too unreliable as an indicator of future stock performance. All you have to do is look at IDCC's insider sales during the last 3 years to see that IDCC insiders have consistently sold too soon. Heck, try subscribing to any of the insider tracking services and they will tell you the same thing: insider activity is generally unreliable, but over a long period of time, the activities of certain insiders are worth following because they may provide an incremental trading edge. But even then insider buys are still only slightly more reliable than insider sales.

The only reason that insider selling is an issue with a high beta (4.93) stock like IDCC is because of the irrational reaction of people like you. That irrational reaction has obviously drawn the attention of many traders who are obviously well aware of the fact that the IDCC shares are being distributed from weaker hands to stronger hands.

Face it, Mickey. People like you are the weaker hands, a figure of speech that is certainly not written in stone.

Mickey and Dishfan you are both wrong. There will not be any options given to
the newly elected director at this ASM.

Both nominees are either Executive officers or Employees of IDCC therefore according to the plan they will not receive the 48000 options granted to outside directors.. The other 4 Directors options were granted and priced in 2001 and 2002.


Each member of the Board of Directors who is not an officer or employee
of the Company (an "Outside Director") is entitled, upon his election at the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to receive an annual grant of non-qualified
stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Company's 2000

Mick, since you addressed to all. Still getting hung up on the insider thing. You know I gave you a nice little company per your request a few months back. So far they have matched IDCC dollar for dollar and then some since they were under IDCC at the time I mentioned, both at 24 now. No problems, safe little investment. But thats not what your looking for. No I think you enjoy posting more than investing. Take that away and you just wouldn't have any fun.

A lot of good companies out there Mick, and some are really going to fly this fall, but again I think you're more interested in the talk.

Got to go but good luck to you.

Mickey before posting it would be wise to do some research, many times you jump the gun and post things that are not true, this could hurt the average investor, don't blame your prediction of not reaching 30 on management, just chalk it up to another outlandish price target, good luck
