Ron, does the lack of total shares available keep the major houses from taking IDCC seriously? It seems to me that a 2 or 3 for one split, putting us over 100 million shares would be a real incentive for the "big boys" to invest in this orphan. Thanks for weighing in on the promo, we need your informed opinion on
the way up, just as much as when we were sliding. Thanks for your input.

I'd be tempted to keep this stock for another two decades if IDCC increases the dividend to 3% and it starts to be like QCOM was in the early years (stock splits).

If IDCC can keep delivering the goods in the future, and can keep increasing the dividend each year, then significant share price appreciation can and should be sustainable for the longer term. I believe Cramer thinks that IDCC has adequate room to keep increasing the dividend, as they started rather low at 1% of share price, rather than a more typical 2% to 3%. Increasing the cash dividend from 1% to 2% to 3% over time could do wonders for the stock price, as that would represent dividend increases of 100% to 200%.

Glad to see has changed gears and is now in our camp.

Ron I have a question RE the dividend and would like you to do the math for me.

IMO on 10/27/2010 when they announced they will be paying a dividend I believe at that time the dividend amount was decided on the closing price of the stock the day the news came out.

We closed at $31.28 that day so what % is that? I'm curious if it's 1 1/2 or higher.

It was also mentioned here that some might want to base what % they get be based on their cost basis which is a good point.
