In an Apple scenario they could give $5 cash and $5 of Apple stock, or all stock, which EDIGGERS could then sell or hold.

Investors can pick EDIG up today for .15, all day long. A $10 buyout would be huge based on current market conditions. Where is that return on capital existing today?

Anyone not taking that with a big smile would qualify for a permanent Raging Bull chatroom position.

For Apple, knowing they avoid settlement costs and now own the patents with 170+ infringers on the line, it might make some sense. They have the cash, are extremely competitive, could leverage the patents and have the stamina to go the distance with anybody for possibly even bigger judgements.

But that may all be wild speculation. Fortunately we have real dollars coming in to EDIG based on a real and valid patent portfolio.
