VHC and Apple, and compared to WDDD

I know, but has VHC collected anything?
I bet not and expect they never will.

I was holding some VHC bought at around $30 to $35 the last time VHC won against Apple, and shocked when VHC lost on appeal and the stock crashed to $22.

Looking at VHC this morning, I see that it is limping along at $3.50, down over 80% from when I got out of it at $22 a few years ago.

Not exactly an impressive event to support the case that software patent stocks are a great investment.

Watch, I bet VHC never collects anything. Something will happen, and the case will get 'kicked around' in the court for years until it all gets ruled against.

We see the same thing playing out with WDDD. When I bought into WDDD, I was buying in or trading when it was in the $0.10 to $0.20 range. There was another poster here who kept telling people that he knew WDDD was going to fall to $0.05 at some point. I, and others, thought that was impossible since anyone, even that guy, doing a present value analysis of an award with all kinds of margin for safety, expected the stock was worth over $0.50, and maybe as much as a dollar or two.

Instead, today, we find that WDDD is lower than the worst case given back then of $0.05, and see that within the last 52 weeks the stock has traded as low as $0.0075. The 180,000 shares I held at one point could have been bought for less than a few thousand dollars recently. There was another poster, years ago, that held 400,000 shares. His shares would have cost $30K, $40K or more back then; now they could have been bought for under $5K if one waited for the right time.

Win against Apple

yet the stock, VHC, is still down almost 90%.


We the same pattern repeating with WDDD, with the stock down over 80%.

Even if somehow and someday WDDD ever collects, it looks like the stock will only be about $0.18, which would leave it lower than where it was years ago.
