L2 - ya gotta admit that they do have a large number of options....and seem to time the sales (and the grants) pretty well, eh? You can try to compare it to your sales days....but remember that these guys are well compensated....think any of them got a bonus when ERICY settled kinda like what happened when the settled earlier disputes? Honestly, I haven't chastised these guys for making money (it's the American way)....but when I see people continually making excuses for them I say....better pass another lipstick, the pig is still ugly.

greed is greed....let it be at that

Learning, your scenario is most puzzling:

"Think about the possibility that the top brass at InterDigital have been fighting for their dignity, honor, and some cash to celebrate with, for almost as long as some of us have been frustrated shareholders.

OK, got that picture? Well, maybe everything they have been fighting and working for just fell into place."

If I'm hearing you correctly, you are saying that management just couldn't wait for the shares to reflect the true value they had just created by their shrewd license negotiations. They wanted to PARTY and they wanted to PARTY now! And this celebrating was going to cost millions of dollars? And rather than take out a loan to party with, they decided to just sell the shares before they appreciated.

First of all your scenario makes no sense. Secondly, even if that's what we are witnessing with these large discretionary insider sales, I don't think it would be wise to invest in a company that was run by people with so little discipline.

I don't believe I have misinterpreted what you wrote. Either way you cut it, your scenario just doesn't paint a positive picture. I'm not trying to be negative, just rational.
