PROFITS<\/strong><\/p>\n

OPRT<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has been suggested here\u00a0often<\/a><\/strong>, and a lot of us now have a double or even a triple.\u00a0 But because it may have the potential to earn $2 or $3 a share in a year or two, I\u2019m hoping for another double or triple before I sell.<\/p>\n

PRKR<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has given us anywhere from a 50% loss (whence I first suggested it) to a quadruple (from back when it was 11 cents).\u00a0 Its future depends on the outcome of a dozen pending lawsuits, most particularly the one against Qualcomm.\u00a0 That suit is gaining wider attention because CEO Jeff Parker makes the case that it has national implications \u2014 most recently, in\u00a0this video<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you believe that enforceable patent protection is important \u2014 as the Founders\u00a0did<\/a><\/strong>, when they wrote the Constitution, and as patent-holder Abe Lincoln\u00a0did<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 then you have to hope the juries in ParkerVision\u2019s lawsuits do, too \u2014 and make a statement to that effect.<\/p>\n

PRKR is a pure speculation, to be made only with money you can truly afford to lose; but it may not be crazy to imagine a world in which they ultimately net $1 billion from all their suits . . . which would be more than 15 times the current market valuation.\u00a0\u00a0Watch<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0the video and see what you think.<\/p>\n

PROTESTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bob P.:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u201cMy friends and I have been frustrated by the failure to get out the word ahead of time about demonstrations against all that the Trump administration is doing.\u00a0Here\u2019s one<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0I\u2019ve actually heard about ahead of time on the perfect day to show that love of the flag is not love of King Trump.\u00a0 It would be good to spread the word.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2013> For sure.<\/p>\n

POSTERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

I asked ChatGPT:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Please make me a protest sign with the theme \u201cPresidents take an oath \u2014 not a throne\u201d and tell me how to get Kinkos to print it on cardboard<\/p>\n

Seconds later:<\/p>\n

Your protest sign is on its way!<\/p>\n

To get\u00a0FedEx Office (formerly Kinko\u2019s)<\/strong>\u00a0to print it on\u00a0cardboard<\/strong>, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download the image<\/strong>: Once your sign is ready, save the file to your device.<\/li>\n
  2. Visit FedEx Office<\/strong>: Go to your nearest location or\u00a0upload your file online<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. Choose \u201cPoster\u201d or \u201cMounted Print\u201d<\/strong>: Ask for\u00a0heavy cardstock<\/strong>\u00a0or a\u00a0foam board backing<\/strong>\u00a0for durability.<\/li>\n
  4. Select print size<\/strong>: Common protest sign sizes are\u00a018\u2033x24\u2033<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a024\u2033x36\u2033<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  5. Pick it up<\/strong>: You can\u00a0order online<\/strong>\u00a0and pick it up in-store or print it in person.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    \n

    Would you like help refining the wording or adding design elements? Hope your protest sign makes an impact!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n<\/blockquote>\n

    Yikes!\u00a0\u00a0She even hopes my protest sign makes an impact!<\/p>\n

    (Is it sexist I think of her as a she?\u00a0 She\u2019s just so damn competent.)<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n

    Wonderful. Now can you remove the wood stick and the background \u2014 so FedEx doesn\u2019t print me a poster of a poster \u2014 and add a small American flag in each corner? And make the aspect ratio 3\u00d74?<\/p>\n

    \n<\/blockquote>\n

    Ah, brave new world . . .<\/p>\n
