Are The Winds Of Settlement Blowing Towards Apple And VirnetX? [View article]
"This is a company that literally does nothing."
Except sign license agreements with companies that have stolen their technology.
"If the patents that VHC owns are found to be valid, they will be licensed on FRAND terms"
Really? Was the MSFT settlement or any of the other settlements on FRAND terms?
"if you're in, you'd better be prepared to lose your investment"
Shouldn't an investor be prepared to lose money in any stock they bet on? That's an integral concept to investing McFly.
"chances of the patents being found to be either non-infringing or invalid are very high"
Based on what? The #1 patent litigation firm in the country wouldn't have taken VirnetX as a client on an 8% contingency if they thought the patents would be found invalid or non-infringing.

Engineers DO patent things. Patent attorneys facilitate that process. So why not question the guy as to whether his "idea" looks similar to another one? Even if it was the patent attorneys' responsibility to do a prior art search, it's the engineer himself who can best shed light on the concepts which were ultimately integrated into Apple's products.

VHC has a poison pill available, so a hostile takeover isn't going to happen. http://bit.ly/Nm2cei Plus, management clearly thinks VHC is worth significantly more than whatever this hypothetical syndicate would ever offer.

Guys, don't mess with Rob. He's the Tony Robbins of this game and he will vanquish his enemies in a fabulous manner. From his bio: "I believe in taking a Japanese "keizen" (continuous improvement) approach to trading."
If he's employing Zen Japanese self improvement techniques to his trading, he's basically an elite master of this universe. Think Ninja Turtle training. Think Uma Thurman breaking out of that coffin in Kill Bill. This "sensei" (if you will) is also a real estate broker in beautiful Winconsin.
Lastly, Rob is super rich and has an awesome life. He's also so dedicated to his "followers," that he sacrificed his last few morsels of energy into the wee hours on the 4th of July to let them know all is well. Clearly his fans were sitting at home, neurotically hitting the F5 button on his homepage in search of some late night guidance. Well, Rob didn't leave them hanging. "It's late night after boating and watching fireworks with good friends so this is going to be a little quick."
In Rob's May 5th "Weinstein Trading and Fading" post on his blog, a message board which contains a total of 14 posts - all of which were made by Robert himself (he is quite the self - conversationalist), he made the bold move of shorting GMCR when it was just above $75. It hit a high of $96.20 and is now $90.53. Rob didn't make any posts after this, so I can only assume that this zen master of boating and all things money got out of his short and avoided a 21% loss in 9 weeks.

It's completely fair game to ask the engineer if his idea is similar (or the same) to another idea. VHC isn't looking to nail Allie for doing anything wrong (ignoring prior art), they just want his opinion on the similarities between the two ideas, probably to argue that AAPL's patent attorneys screwed up. If they did it on purpose, that's willful infringement.
VirnetX (VHC +22%) takes off after striking a patent licensing deal with Aastra, a maker of IP communications gear for enterprises. The deal puts an end to litigation between the companies, and results in VirnetX receiving a one-time licensing fee and ongoing royalties. The agreement, which comes a week after a favorable Markman ruling, is fueling hopes similar deals will be reached with Cisco, Apple, and NEC. [View news story]

It is clear that you don't understand what is going on, much like Tom. Tom called a bottom on July 15th, as meaured by the XLF when it was $17.17. It is now at $15.28, a full 8% lower. Tom then put out this 'disclaimer'
Tom said this on 7/22/08, when the XLF was at $22.49. As of today, the XLF is 32% lower than when Tom made that call. THIRTY TWO PERCENT LOWER!!!
This thing is a mess, and Tom continues to avoid the heart of the matter. People who have listened to Tom have lost money, when 'smart money' was pulling out of financials. How can one be SO wrong, and not own up to any of it?
Tom, we would respect you a lot more if you would at least own up to your bad advice.
There is a real risk of failure in the system. It may be a small fraction of a percent, but the risk is still there, and it has increased over the last 3 months. It would be nice to hear Tom acknowledge this risk and issue a cautionary note.
Look at the SEC website to see what second curve capital owns. If Tom had thrown in the towel 3 months ago, it would have avoided MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY down the drain. That is reckless.
Paulson even said today that there is more pain to come.
