I agree. That was the point of my post. I believe that Bigplay did sell and it caused the avalanche affect. I'm sure Mr. Flowers walked into Mr. Turleys office and said, " Wow, have you seen the price this morning?" JT said, " no, why?". Once they saw the price it was only logical to jump in and take advantage. Their on the inside so they knew nothing had changed on their end good or bad. I truly believe it just happened to be the converging of two unrelated events. The mediation and panic selling, a beautiful thing if the end result goes our way.

I still see absolutely no reason to expect a settlement anytime soon, IMO. With so many issues, Congress/USPTO/Judicial on the table, the J's have ample time to make their decision. I could be wrong but, I don't look for anything substantial over the next 2-3months. I've said it a million times, TPL would gladly take a check for $30-$40/million from each of them. Whether that be today, next month or January is irrelevant. That being the case why should the J's rush? All IMO of course.
