A little parable:
The scene: a crowded mall parking lot.
The situation: Two cars, a Porsche driven by a young studly, and a Mercedes driven by a well coiffed and dress lady. Both waiting for the same spot to vacate.
One the spot opens, Studly whips his car in front of Merces, hops out and says "That's what a real sports car can do!"
Merces puts her car in gear, smashes into the Porsche, causing it to crumple into the car in front. The lady gets out and says "That's what real money can do."
Moral: What ever forces have been toying with IDCC price for what seems like forever, Real Money has arrived in the form of WS financing and Barclays. VERY deep pockets on our side.
