the short term shareprice move will not have hurt shareholders if the shareholders have not sold. If IDCC sells for north of $82.50 per share then shareholders who have held will have not have been harmed by the short term movement.

In any case, the only reason that the shareprice spiked to the 70s and low 80s is because IDCC stated they are seeking strategic alternatives. Perhaps if IDCC never made the statement, we would be in the 40s anyway, and we wouldn't know the difference.

I also believe that if IDCC kept us informed weekly on price and status of bids, and then a deal falls through, I am sure shareholders will be as equally unhappy. Let's hope we all get a win.

Remember there are plenty of IDCC employees and management and the BOD that are shareholders also. So, let's count on them looking out for not only the shareholders, but themselves and each other.

I'm with you NIC! I don't believe that "SILENCE IS GOLDEN" when it comes to my investment. This to me is equivalent to what government does to its citizens. They keep everything under lock and key until it is too late to fix and then they say they didn't know this would happen. When you try to buy a house, the bank doesn't keep it a secret where your paperwork is at when you apply for a mortgage and call for updates. Of course if you try shortselling a property, that is a negative and the bank has no answers then or they use delay tactics. Generally when things are going well or as planned, people and businesses are willing to talk about it...BUT when things are not going the course and can be perceived as a negative, no one wants to speak. I could venture a guess that IDCC made it clear that they would not speak either way during the process, which covers them. It instantly gave them the right to just answer all questions with "NO COMMENT" and leave it at that. I don't believe it is fair since if things were not going well, maybe many here would just throw in the towel and say they've had enough. IDCC has created a difficult period for investors beyond that of dealing with bad economic times.

So i guess you would suggest that we get daily,weekly or monthly updates stating what?

negotiations are going good...or bad?For the sale of the company?Or in parts?what parts?Who is offering what?A new bidder appeared?A bidder left?A consortium broke apart?Which one?We got a larger bid?Oh it was withdrawn?

C'mon think about the process.It is what it is and "no news" is good news?
