[Clarifying the facts, part II]
<<<If Amati eventually licenses to ADI, THEN you will have been right in predicting they would (and *I* certainly think Amati NEEDS to license to ADI so they have a source of chips), but that won't change the reported fact that when you said it, the company called you WRONG.>>>
Remember, Steve, I'm a researcher and I study words very carefully. Amati did not say I was wrong. An online news bulletin reported that Tac Berry said there was no agreement. But is that what Tac really said? Infastructure quoted my SI post wrong in that same article. They said I had claimed an agreement was ready to break when I'd actually claimed an agreement was with the attorneys. There's a big difference there, and I submit Tac did not say there was no agreement but said something to the effect he knew of no agreement.
<<<Until then, to represent that Amati's bottom line will benefit in any appreciable way from licensing to CG is hopeful speculation, IMO.>>>
I've only repeated what I've been told, that licensing will most likely cover R&D.
<<<I'm wondering then, why you still won't admit (even in THIS post) that the company contradicted what you said about ADI/AMATI license.>>>
If the time comes I'm proven wrong, I'll apologize.
<<<How do you know if and how close this was? If Amati wanted a pre-payment ransom (as we have heard from several sources) for their DMT, how close COULD it have been? These are exactly the kind of spin statements that unfortunately cast a cloud over all of your reports here.>>>
I've been told the final papers were ready to sign --- after months of negotiations --- and USR said, "Oops, forgot to tell you, that's not included. . . " My wording. . . but the bottom line is the price was too high. The only cloud being cast is your own. That USRX fell out is a given. That they couldn't agree on a price is a given. What more is there to be said?
<<<But you posted previously, in the clandestine manner you are so fond of, that this would be out by the 15th, or some such past date (which I will only spend the effort to find IF you claim you did not).>>>
Please post the URL where I said the 15th. I can't believe I would EVER put a date on anything. I've said a dozen times if at all that I don't have any clue to timing.
<<< A simple disclaimer (not unlike as you have done on occasion recently) to the effect "I THINK this could or might happen, and within this time frame, for such and such reasons", might give your posts a little better feel of objectivity (which you have previously admitted, you are not).>>>
It's hard to believe you're even saying this. I've added conditional phrases to my posts from Day One. You discredit yourself by suggesting I don't.
<<< IMO, an investment forum should try to FILTER out the hyperbole, with an extra measure of conservativism, to more carefully evaluate the fundamentals. Anyway, that's how I see it.>>>
I challenge you to live by your own words. To my former list of qualities I don't tolerate, please add hypocricy.
