Looking through my rose colored glasses, I could ask what has really changed since our last run? The stock rose to over .90 on the litigation settlement. The PR release, which stated a confidentiality clause, remains unchanged. We have always had a large OS.
The 8-K and the 148 seemed to bring it down. However, the 8-K might of respected the NDA. Concerning the 148, the best minds from all sides (defendants and TPL) have scrutinized every aspect of it. I believe some claim adjustments were expected. However, the J's still settled. Since the litigation, we have had two signings. Recent PR's don't reflect early mover discounts. TPL announced that there is an increase in activity since the settlements.
I am hopeful for a decent 10 K in a couple of days. I do not think TPL would stay in the business of giving licenses away. That would be a short term negotiation strategy that would give way quickly. Especially when they are tied to a publicly traded company where the results have to be reported atleast quarterly. We have had some high volume days, hopefully S&L sold off a large chunk of shares and Patriot continues buying.
My guess is doubtful, but what if the 336 goes by unchallenged?
This stock is definitely a buy and hold investment. However, it may begin to increase before mid April or the 12-18 month predictions.
The fact is no one knows for sure. I definitely appreciate reading from poster who know significantly more than me. There are the posters that are well informed that state that they know nothing. Then there is myself, I really do not know much. I am learning something new about Patriot and the stock market every day.
Reading this board, I feel like a well informed shareholder, even when communication with the company is temporarily limited:)
