With all due respect to the valuable contributors to this forum, bear in mind that I have been in this stock since 1994 and have seen a lot go on with it.

The BOD took this stock to $7.00 or so on or around 1995, slowly, and it progressed downward, then it spiked to $3.50 a few months after that., and at that time they did not have much going for them.

Jan of 2000... PTSC road the Tech bubble unwarrantedly (and the super low float) to $7+... it vaccillated in the low $1s for most of the month.. then on the 20th it was ~$1.60, on Monday the 24th it hit $7.37, on the 27th it closed at just over $3... investors were crazed for anything tech related.. some tech stocks were moving $50+ per day.. then when nothing actually happen with PTSC it eroded down.. the Swartz era began in earnest... and his iron fist control ended with the run-up to $2.20, with him holding nearly half the stock.. greatly reducing the float.. the spike was easy to manipulate for him to make his 100s of million$.. that is not the current situation. No single holder of a large porton of the stock, and no one to run it up for besides the common shareholder...

I believe the BOD does have a plan to increase Shareholder Value, it’s going to happen when they are good and ready.

Really? Why aren't they trying to maximize shareholder value now? I mean.. aren't they supposed to do that.. I absolutely believe they did have a plan when Swartz ran the show.. run it up so he can grossly profit while he dumps all his shares.. They have licensed Apple, GE, Oracle.. and didn't even tell anyone.. When they are good and ready.. ok..

They have demonstrated that they can take this stock up., in which many gleefully took their profits and bought in at the lows. Remember this was back in the mid 90’s.

We have to believe in what we own, if we want favorable Reviews from Stock Trader critics, this bickering about the BOD has to wind down, I believe that they do watch this forum and they do get a pulse of what the shareholders feelings are………….and they report that just like they did in the most recent link that was submitted on this forum.

Believing in the patents is one thing.. believing in the current BoD & Leckrone is another.. I can only hope the former can overcome the latter..

Hopefully the BOD has a plan to take this to $3.00 again, hopefully they will report that they are going to collect royalties, hopefully they will find a way to extend the patent life of the patents, there is a lot they can do in two or three years with a the billions that they will receive.

Billions?? lol.. you have this on good authority.. or is this just overt pumping of the stock??

Otherwise….. why not sell the company to Apple? Or Some Big Outfit, if your just gonna take the money and run, sell the company…….but the BOD is clever, they know they have a cash cow, and they want to keep it and they want to make money

answered your own question there.. and I completely agree

just like all of us,

Correct me if I'm mistaken here, but only the BoD (& Swartz) have been making money on this stock the last 4+ yrs... exactly as Brian has pointed out

and I honestly believe that they will extend the life of the patents, someway, somehow.

Now that would be excellent news.. what are the reasons or circumstances that this could happen? I'm sure the BoD would be very happy if this could be accomplished also.. they could collect their sallaries for that much longer..
