PROFITS
OPRT has been suggested here often, and a lot of us now have a double or even a triple. But because it may have the potential to earn $2 or $3 a share in a year or two, I’m hoping for another double or triple before I sell.
PRKR has given us anywhere from a 50% loss (whence I first suggested it) to a quadruple (from back when it was 11 cents). Its future depends on the outcome of a dozen pending lawsuits, most particularly the one against Qualcomm. That suit is gaining wider attention because CEO Jeff Parker makes the case that it has national implications — most recently, in this video.
If you believe that enforceable patent protection is important — as the Founders did, when they wrote the Constitution, and as patent-holder Abe Lincoln did — then you have to hope the juries in ParkerVision’s lawsuits do, too — and make a statement to that effect.
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. Watch the video and see what you think.
PROTESTS
Bob P.: “My 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. Here’s one I’ve actually heard about ahead of time on the perfect day to show that love of the flag is not love of King Trump. It would be good to spread the word.”
–> For sure.

POSTERS
I asked ChatGPT:
Please make me a protest sign with the theme “Presidents take an oath — not a throne” and tell me how to get Kinkos to print it on cardboard
Seconds later:
Your protest sign is on its way!
To get FedEx Office (formerly Kinko’s) to print it on cardboard, follow these steps:
- Download the image: Once your sign is ready, save the file to your device.
- Visit FedEx Office: Go to your nearest location or upload your file online.
- Choose “Poster” or “Mounted Print”: Ask for heavy cardstock or a foam board backing for durability.
- Select print size: Common protest sign sizes are 18″x24″ or 24″x36″.
- Pick it up: You can order online and pick it up in-store or print it in person.
Would you like help refining the wording or adding design elements? Hope your protest sign makes an impact!
Yikes! She even hopes my protest sign makes an impact!
(Is it sexist I think of her as a she? She’s just so damn competent.)
Wonderful. Now can you remove the wood stick and the background — so FedEx doesn’t print me a poster of a poster — and add a small American flag in each corner? And make the aspect ratio 3×4?
Ah, brave new world . . .
