Acacia Technology (ACTG) Pump and Dump Happening By Insiders? Interesting! - GoFuckYourself.com

Ok, I've got some karma to burn...here's a copy of a post I entered on
Monday Oct-27-2003 6:00 AM EST in newgroup misc.invest.stocks:

Acacia Technology Group (ACTG) [A Division of Acacia Research Corporation (Nasdaq:ACTG)(Nasdaq:CBMX)] claims numerous patents covering the use of streaming media, such as video files and audio/MP3s, including original content, and is currently targeting the adult industry with patent infringement legal notices and lawsuits.

For most investors who own ACTG, the above isn't news, BUT this is...

However, what investors should take note of is Acacia's increasingly aggressive, and more aptly in the view of many, desperate tactics to get companies and individuals alike to sign "DMT" license agreements.

http://www.acaciatechnologies.com/technology_main.htm

Just this past week, Acacia *bulk mailed* thousands of letters to haphazardly demanding royalties - including many mailed to people who don't even utilize "DMT" technologies claimed by Acacia's patents.

http://www.avn.com/index.php?Primary...ntent_ID=43869

Surely Acacia's attorneys must realize the risk of bulk mailing legal notices to thousands of parties, including many who aren't infringing.

* So why has Acacia chosen this haphazard shotgun approach?

That is the question all Acacia Techology Group (ACTG) investors should be asking right now!

Perhaps the answer is they are seeking to "bulk up" their "DMT" license numbers to make this quarter appear better than it may actually be - could very likely be a scheme by insiders to pump up the stock price.

Not that crazy really to contemplate that insiders and/or others are plotting to cash out before other investors realize most of the new "DMT" license agreements Acacia Technology Group is entering into will likely generate very little additional meaningful revenues...

For example, many of the adult companies which received the bulk mailed license notice have total gross revenues of less than $100,000/year.

So even if 100 new license agreements are entered into, how much revenue can Acacia realistically expect to earn going forward?

It's not the number of agreements ACTG investors should look at, but rather the amount of revenues those license agreements will generate.

Keeping in mind that at the same time Acacia's litigation costs continue to rapidly rise as numerous parties challenge Acacia's legally dubious patent claims...why else would Acacia target the adult industry first instead of Microsoft or Apple? Perhaps Acacia knows their "DMT" patents are on borrowed time and are looking to make a fast buck at the expense of investors not familiar with the internals of their claims.

Lastly, don't take my word for it, view the ACTG stock chart and fundamentals and ask yourself...does ACTG stock price make sense?

It certainly doesn't to me! Investor beware!

huh ...
this is like those "direct mailing companies" that send out "OFFICIAL" invoices that are bogus ...

and a certain percentage will pay ...

Is this not against some "mail fraud" laws?
