Most business agreements are written in contemplation of business days, as opposed to calendar days. It is quite conceivable that there could be a more extended review period than 60 calendar days without reason for us to anticipate arbitration.

I think the check will be in the bank. Nokia or Samsung don't have a prayer.

The shorting is technical, not fundamental.

We're being shorted because we've gained beyond the market and the sector. Some see us as overbought. They don't know Nokia from Nike and don't care. They've got their + 7-10% buy stops in, just as they do on their other technical plays.

I've seen quite a bit of this lately.

Whatever.

Ziploc, HG said the agreement with Nokia required settlement within a "specific number of days". You wrote:

"HG said NOK should pay WITHIN DAYS. I interpret this to mean between 30 and 60 days. More than 60 days would be months, not days."

I would like to point out the Howard was likely referring to specific contract language and there is nothing there to conclude it is less than 60 days. If the contract said "within 180 days" then that's what it would be. It would be unusual for a contact to say "within 4 months" because months vary in length. It would be more common to say "within 120 days". It could also say "within 720 days", that would still fit HG's description of "specific number of days". Months has nothing to do with it, it's just contract language, let's try not to read things into it that are not there.
