Raymond, I don't tell IDCC what to do
other than through my proxy. Blueskywaves stated that he felt M&A was a good area to get into and I countered with why I'd prefer IDCC to acquire IDCC than get into M&A. When asked to explain why, I did, being sure to let everyone know I was shooting from the hip. Just chat board conversation and sharing of perspectives. If IDCC does get into M&A activity, I will evaluate it and adjust my investment views on IDCC as I see fit. I will also look for intelligent posters to help me consider factors I may have missed.
I don't see this board as a method to influence management, I see it as a way to keep up on my investment and share with other investors. In this unique situation of a proxy, where the shareholders can do something which will affect the company, hopefully promote constructive dialogue about the issues that we can vote on so that each yes vote is a vote of conviction and not of ignorance or apathy (no action on proxy = yes vote).
Raymond, I got to tell you you're dead wrong on one thing - I could NOT run the butterfingers company. I'd eat up all the profits. Take care and have a good weekend. We might disagree on some issues, but I think you are a good man.
