RE: I'm long on WIN, but here's a sober thoughtExactly. I've been with WIN since 1998 and would like nothing better than to see it climb...but it is expensive at this point. Many more shares now o/s than a few years ago, and this Nokia deal is a one time lump sum, as most of the early licences will be. I would prefer to see large recurring revenue via ongoing royalties as they will probably look for from those they have to sue or contracts a few years down the road. (as noted on their conference call today)
But any money is good moey for the WIN coffers, and somewhat validates the patents for thos they contact about negotiations going forward.
Will probably be some early day upside tomorrow, but my guess is closing lower.....buy on rumor, sell on news..
