you getting hosed for shorting this, so stop with the lies...
the convertibles were sold so they would be DEBT free! thats a good thing.
Yes they get no royalties from APPL, BUT they will still sell from MTRN, CIP and so on, so there is possibility of making money from this deal, but the fact that APPL will use them puts them in a category that companies in the world will want to use them and they will make money that way, they have said so on every conference call for years, If you know the stock you would know all this.
