I've been in this stock for over three years and bought quite a few shares under $5 back in December 2000, with the help of Bill's website. I have personally met Mr. Dalglish and he is a high caliber individual. As for clueless, read the IDCC board on IHUB and you will find intelligent discussion by a cross section of the investing public. Lawyers, CPA's, Engineers, Brokers all. Thanks for your concern.

And you thought I was part of the Kool-Aid crowd 8^) No disrespect to GAB, but my understanding (and I could very well be wrong) is that this company is nothing more than a lot of hype and their patents are not worth the paper they are written on. They were once calling themselves "baby QCOM"... The problem with the patents are that none of them are truly relevant to the actual functions of CDMA, in other words they are the useless parts of the technology that are not needed for the essential workings of CDMA. This is why IDCC is not getting royalties and licenses like QCOM which has a virtual who's who listing of company's buying and using their technology. The only company's buying anything from IDCC are the ones trying to dethrone QCOM with their own chipsets (i.e. ERICY, MOT and NOK). NOK has been trying to develop their own chips for over a decade and of these company's not one of them has ever produced a reliable chip or a phone smaller than a shoebox within the realm of this type of technology (using their own chip that is). QCOM is like Coca-Cola, it's the real thing. Just my point of view for what it's worth.
