Insiders selling because: a. They need the money (VP not paying salaries) b. To exercise .005 options for additional stock. c. To put cash back into cmpany.
Honestly, I read your post to me and wonder where I am. Something as innocuous as "Patience is a virtue" and its aiming is an issue. I do think I've handled this, but:
The "Patience is a virtue" is meant TO BENEFIT you and all shareholders, not as as attempt to keep you from selling if you need to, although less selling is always good. I believe selling here would be a huge mistake!!!!!!
I don't bark any orders at the VPLM team...they do/know far more than me for me/us.! I can't speak for anyone. Read the files, memorize, buy/sell, flip a coin...people can do and do as they will. I ain't the enemy!
So, just lately I described my thoughts on Emil family selling....I believe it is just in case we go to trial. WHERE WILL THE $MILLIONS COME FROM? After all Emil has said/done, do you truly think this "contingency selling" is making him happy???????? Really? Well, I don't!!! Enough there.
"What the hell do they do?" Rich, as I've said, has been working morning to night... Rich has told me a few times that Emil will work straight through the night at times... Emil has put heart and sole into this...my word, where am I???!
To the longs: I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY!!!! I am a long that has taken this on and me saying, "Patience is a virtue" is to benefit us all, you, me and all longs!
Funny, I was speaking to my buddy Mike the other day saying, as he was, how funny it is folks kinda go nuts at the finish line. Both of us have seen it many times. I believe we are very close to the finish line, very, very close!
On a side-note: For those making requests of me, a "please" would be nice. I am going to go black/bold to make it easier to read. That is due to history with the person who requested the change.
Waaaaahhhhh... so did the rest of us.... but most of us are not whining about how long this is taking or how poorly things are being run.
If you just focus on the "insider selling" in a vacuum, you'll get frustrated and depressed. Electric, if you look at it in the context of all the other amazing things going our way, and how there ARE NO NEGATIVES other than delays (which are part of this type of investment process), you'll be able to see the selling for what it MOST LIKELY IS... preparing a war chest in case we have to go to trial.
Emil and gang don't want to go to trial any more than we do, right? But they have to be prudent and prepare for it in case they have to. I'm grateful they are. Their preparations might just prove to be an INCENTIVE to the infringers to settle before court. It shows that they're determined to battle this thing til they win. They have good reason to think they will win. Winning 38/38 IPR battles, winning a host of smaller battles, and KILLING the Alice threat are just a few.
And all those cheap shares they're selling... who's buying them? At the very least, they're being bought by people like my friend who is a single Dad and is buying 10,000 shares to put toward college for his 1 yr old son.
Focus on the GOOD stuff... there's plenty of it to focus on, and it WAY outweighs the seemingly bad.
