j70k: IMO, you are wrong. All it will take for IDCC to go 70 is to settle NOK or SAM, if both it goes higher. When I said N "or" S remember "if" one of the "big dogs" falls the little guys will jump on the band wagon and push the stock higher.

Now having said that, what do you think IDCC would do. IMO it would "split" and again go back above 70.

If my story comes true, don't you wish you had all those "93,400 shares" back. Once sold they are gone. I'm in a 6+ share making good money now but see no reason to move on.

To be fair, yes I am way long in IDCC but I don't let that stop me from watching my $$$$ at work.

OT j70k - Re your logic in ref post. The question this IDCC long cannot answer is "What would be a better investment than IDCC at $70?". If the IDCC BOD decided to take a $70 cash buyout offer next week, where would you put that money and get a better risk/reward outlook?

MY humble pencil scratch dd leads me to believe that IDCC should be an easy double from $70 and still have plenty of legs to keep running strong. IMHO unless mgmt does something stupid it's just a question of which licenses get signed when.

Since you are ready to take $70/share for IDCC today, you must have a short list of better investment alternatives for the "net after tax" proceeds from such a transaction.

I don't, so my vote would be "no" on a buyout offer at that level.

IF a buyout has been negotiated and agreed upon by management, I doubt if anybody here -- even the whole board -- can stop it. And, I think many on the board will actually accept the offer.

But the scenario is moot. Because, OF COURSE, anybody can sell and then buy back later, if he thinks it will go much higher. Nobody can prevent you from buying back after rethinking, even if you lose a couple of hundred shares' worth of money in the meantime. Especially since the stock price will not shoot straight up anyway, but will certainly have a lot of pauses.


Forget about poison pills-will not come into play. Any buyout will be negotiated and agreed upon and I believe will be beneficial to both parties. An interesting question to throw out on a long weekend-HOW MANY HERE WOULD TAKE $70/SHARE-basically a double from today's price-if it was offered now?
