Well, looks like you took a tidy little profit. Yowza! I wish you`d held out till Monday though.... I KNOW you`ve only been into PTSC for a very short time, but there has been a trend that you are probably not aware of - today`s Sony news is really only known to a relative very few, as the PR (though it actually mentioned PTSC - but I may be confusing with the WSJ article today) is out from PTSC partner TPL via their litigation sub-company. A PR typically will come out from PTSC the next day, so expect more action on Monday. Also, another trend is that, a few days after the PTSC announcment of a deal, they announce the size of the dividend and when it`s expected. PTSC advised in their AMS that there would be more dividends, so it`s probably safe to assume that Sony will make another one come. Finally, another thing that may or may not happen is that, depending on the size of the settlement, PTSC has to report the incoming money to the SEC for all to see. But this latter ``opportunity`` may be delayed until actual receipt, which could be weeks off in the future. All this is dependent on the size of the settlement`s ``material significance`` - but it`s probably safe to suspect that a settlement with Sony would be ``significant`` (and could include royalties, though PTSC has stated that royalties are NOT their current focus). And there some other nuances between TPL and Sony which might suggest that the settlement ain`t that big.

Just some ``additional spike`` tid-bits to ponder for you on your remaining shares, and for other EDIG longs/PTSC newbies that might benefit.

Keep in mind that the trend, though typically your friend, may not come through this time. And always remember that I KNOW nuttin`!
