Newcomers, WELCOME!! You can learn a lot right here about the wireless telecom stock that Thursday and Friday skyrocketed over 50% in share value on immense volume, breaking through the long held $7.50 barrier.
Besides the info you gather here, you are invited to follow links to the most comprehensive report on IDC.
The site I refer to has been prepared with strong input from the luminaries you are reading posts from on the Raging Bull, Yahoo and SI.
Visitor numbers at the site this weekend have been growing immensely - more and more each day, indicating extraordinary and growing interest in IDC since last Thursdays news and IDC' stock's subsequent 50% rise on 17 times normal volume. Thursday: 178 visitors to the web site, Friday 619, Saturday 1166, Sunday 1458 visitors. Amazing!
The overall web site's home page (click on "Focus Stock" which is IDC) is at: telecomtechstocks.com You'll find info there on Nokia, Ericsson, Qualcomm, Nortel, Lucent, Cisco and others along with a 40 page report on InterDigital (easily digestible in a variety of sub sections on topics such as Overview, Earnings, Market, Technology, Management, Risks, etc. See below for specific links).
There's also an article on the site introducing non-technically inclined persons to wireless technology called: "A Refresher Course" or "Telecom Technology for Non-Techies" You can find it at: telecomtechstocks.com
From the home page you will also find links to 2 very good wireless telecom glossaries (from the ITU and from Ericsson).
Particularly popular and interesting sections of the IDC report (at least as far as number of "hits" already received are at these links:
"Implications of New Third Generation Standards for Wireless" This section was significantly rewritten Sun Nov 21 to reflect (1) Pres. Howard Goldberg's 11/18 massive claims of IDC tech in all five new 3G standards and (2) Qualcomm's 10K warning to its shareholders that same day that because of conditions in IDC-QCOM litigation (QCOM paid IDC $5 million for CDMA cross licensing) QCOM may have to share certain future potential royalties specifically with IDC.
