my3 because this company has been a sh%^ show, i invest to make alot of money ,the 175 engineers,over the yrs all 80% of which have advanced degrees have been a waste of talant and money.i'vs seen the value in what they do but this team hasnt done what they said they would do, research facilities in six locations have been lack luster, so i sold half and laughed all the way to the bank, now it seems they are not going to grow much more value for shareholderrs just keep filling their pockets and the shareholders just continue to vote these clowns a license to steal money from company, with bonuses which i find BANANAS.I quit worrying about forward looking statements years ago. now everyday hoping for a surprise. and those days are going fast.

my3sons87, good point.

IDCC could have been bought for $4.5 in early 1999 - that's
before the blow off top technology bubble.

So anyone whose held (and had the discipline not to sell) since then has a compounded annual return of 18.5%.

That's a spectacular compounded return for almost 20 years.
