Snowblow, good questions. Investing is just as much about avoiding losses as it is making a profit. It's about balancing the risk/reward. We have all been analyzing the good/bad points regarding IDCC whether we know it or not. If after all this analysis we conclude it is over-valued does that mean all our work was in vain? Of course not.
And those times that IDCC is near the bottom of it's trading range I have even nibbled and I made no secret about it. My message has never been "don't buy IDCC". My message has always been that IDCC is not the company it is cracked up to be. That it carries more risk than most of the bulls would have you believe and is far less likely to ever become the triple digit stock that so many assume is always just around the corner. The reason for this (IMO) is that the value of their IPR has been misrepresented by the bulls. It's a compelling view but not one that necessarily reflects reality.
Every investor must make investment decisions and balance their portfolios to suit their personal situation. How is it possible to do this effectively if one of their core holdings is not the stock that it is portrayed to be?
OT: Do you really expect a specific reply to your question regarding an alternate investment for the "doomed to lose longs" in IDCC stock? A true Missionary with the sole agenda to prevent investors from losing money in a bad investment..surely can suggest some other alternate investment ..other than Money Market refuge..But a paid basher or short in IDCC is not interested in the financial welfare of his or her audience.
