What gives?

Announcement after Announcement after Announcement and the stock still does nothing

Now investors see that the ETC business isnt a Transcore like business.  It sells a bunch of 200-300K / year profit contracts.

And what is with the language for IRD around these unlimited task order contracts? What the hell is this? I thought this was a tech company, not a bunch of labour performing tasks like a premium task-rabbit company.  That is all to show for with all that debt added on the books and 2/3 of the ETC purchase price as goodwill (aka Align Capital renoflip profits)

The stock is already priced for perfection. WiLan sold to an unsavvy buyer for $150+ and ETC growing profits at 75% this year.  Anything less than that is disappointing.

So good news is nothing. Bad news is..........

Now someone is starting to get it.  And the US options plan provides an additional 10M freebies for US based executives.   Hence the marketing blitz over the past couple of weeks.  The new options plan secures years of free shares for management.  Need the votes to keep the gravy train going.

options are not free shares.  based on your outlook for the company they will never be in the money.  somebody thinks the share price will increase.
