If you're not pie in the sky then you must be short!

You are misinformed. Patent assertion is a highly profitable business model. In fact, it is so profitable that companies are rushing to this sector like gold seekers rushed to San Francisco in the late 1840s.

There are many patent assertion companies who have made billions and billions of dollars over the last few decades. And there are many many more who have made hundreds of millions.

VRNG has a great business model. And a great litigation/licensing team. The question marks that exist surround the quality of the company's assets and how and when these patent portfolios will be monetized.

You probably should not be invested in this sector, even via your alleged call options, if you don't understand the basics of the asset class.

...I'm a realist. Vrng aquires patents from other companies. Vrng then looks for infingers of those aquired patents and sues them. This is a tough way to make a living. Lots of cash spent on lawers, litigating and overhead with no guarantee of return. This type of business most often leads to consistent stock dilution(raising cash to support litigation)or bankruptsy.

BTW as i have said before on this thread I am not short I own some 2014 call options. These were purchased last year before I realized what I had bought. My Bad.

well if you're long calls and you feel its a dog.

Why would you still be in it?

perhaps that sheds enough light on all of this doesn't it.

If you feel so negatively about a company typically you don't go long.

I'll let you figure out what the implications of all that are.
