It's unbelievable to me that our new CFO hasn't purchased any shares, even when it traded with a 16 handle. Isn't he excited about the prospects of his new employer? Is Interdigital the only company that offered him a job?

That is an excellent point on diversification. That's why I think that rewards such as stock options or RSUs, compensation level, bonuses etc., should be structured in such a way that it is aligned with shareholder success and we should let individuals manage their personal finances as they see fit. At the end of the day, you go home to your family and that's what counts. During the day in the life at corporate america, everyone is replaceable, heads roll all the time, and giving 110 percent to your job, then going home and putting all your own pocket money into that corporation is not a balanced way to live, or to achieve a balanced work and family life. Most times it's just not a good idea for the sake of diversity as you say. Sure, if you are so positive about your companies prospects and feel it's the best investment - great. Otherwise, no. I know as much as it would send a positive message as one very small factor that is noticed by some investors, it's not that big of a deal. Now Harry - he should buy shares instead of receiving them for free.
