Not in the least. I'm bearish on a guy who has lived through a beating on a stock "purportedly", and yet goes onto another stock in almost an identical situation (down to the same courtroom), and makes the same claims he did here for years.
It's as if he has learned nothing.....or else has an agenda.
On the other hand, he could come on the other board and share his experience honestly with others. He went so far as to argue for years with a poster here, offer to admit he was wrong publicly about all he assured you of here, AND now he's arguing with THE SAME GUY and making the same claims on a different stock.
I don't know about you, but I always tend to wonder why certain posters here on IHUB seemingly choose not to learn.

I have no idea what's gonna happen Loc but please do not take this post personal. We love all what you do here and all the time you took to research HDC over the years etc.
Here goes:
Bull Shit !
The caliber of a law firm that took on our PI legal suit against Intel would NO WAY have risked it without first seeing PROOF !
End of My rant !
Here are some notes I copied from messages and past posts a while back.
"William F. Quirk, Jr. July 26, 2020 At 12:36 pm
Attn; Boe Rimes. I am a large shareholder in HDC and a former director. On Friday, 24 July, 2020 I emailed this to HDC shareholders, including management and the board, for whom I have email addresses. One shareholder suggested that I forward it to you as well. Sincerely, William F. Quirk, Jr.
All,
Attached is HDCโs just-filed lawsuit against Intel. In my view this Complaint is outstanding, well beyond simply superb. CEO George McGovern deserves tremendous credit for shepherding this to fruition. It is waterproof and bulletproof; a huge battering ram that Intel will find very difficult to defend against. HDC has pursued this for ten years. Ten long years! Reinterpreting โThe Hound of Heavenโ, Intel (โIโ), fully intending to exhaust the cash and staying power of HDC (โHimโ) โฆ
I fled Him, down the nights and down the days; I fled Him, down the arches of the years; I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways.
It didnโt work in Francis Thompsonโs poem (Him caught I) and it didnโt work here. We always suspected that Intelโs long-standing use of our proprietary technology was being used in a multitude of their products and processes and this lawsuit now documents this conclusively. Itโs not over yet but in my view, Intel has to pay up, big time. I donโt believe Intel can chance a jury trial because of the triple damages potential (see below). This is the beginning of the end.
Some observations.
โข โRocket Docket.โ This court (The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas โ Waco Division) and its sibling, the โEastern Districtโ, are known in patent litigation circles as Rocket Dockets because they deal with patent cases very expeditiously. The judges are patent-knowledgeable and appear disinclined to be overwhelmed by the dilatory tactics of huge corporations. The best cases could take a year or more. Everything being equal, better to file here than, well, anywhere else.
โข Enhanced Damages. The Complaint documents conclusively that Intel willfully used our technology even though they knew it was protected by our patents. Willful is a long iron spear with a very sharp tip, as it exposes purposeful infringers to what is known as โenhanced damagesโ, i.e. as much as triple damages. See the attachment below that I emailed last year describing the Supreme Court decision that made it much easier for plaintiffs to prove willfulness. Itโs actually worth reading to understand that this is not some pie-in- the-sky fantasy. And I donโt think that Intel can dismiss this factor as trivial. Also see โ675 millionโ pdf below, and this is without enhanced damages but possibly with the threat of them. This is a really big โbiggieโ โฆ
โข Cascading Infringement. Intelโs infringing products and processes are used โdownstreamโ, as itโs known, by customers and partners. Knowingly, or not, these too are infringers and exposed to HDCโs claims. Intel must hold these parties harmless and thus the potential recovery for HDC is larger by a serious but unquantifiable amount. Any resolution of this matter must necessarily take this into account. This is not a trivial factor.
โข China. Whether to disguise its origins or not, HDCโs SVM-RFE patent was literally copied and pasted by Intelโs Chinese mathematicians (I saw this myself some years ago), clumsily disguised with a fake โfeedback loopโ so as to be able to claim originality, and then submitted to the U.S. Patent Office. Upcoming WSJ investigatory headline? โIntel uses China office to launder stolen technology from small U.S. companyโ??? Intel canโt possibly permit that, can they? In my view, this is also a biggie for two reasons: first, purposeful theft and concealment and second, perpetrated in China which is now politically toxic. Bad, really bad, and too bad for Intel in a jury trial in Waco.
โข Permanent injunction requested. The Court will never permit this to happen but if it did, the damage to Intel would be staggering. Theoretically this is the biggest biggie.
The attorneys who crafted this Complaint did an tremendous job. Eleanor Musick, HDCโs longtime โuber-knowledgeableโ patent counsel, and Hong Zhang, HDCโs long-time genius mathematician had to have contributed extraordinary substance to the Complaint; as far as Iโm concerned, they are rock stars. And without question, George McGovern and Marty Delmonte pulled together all the pieces in a very professional and effective way.
This is the beginning of the end"

Wow, Good Sport that came as a bolt of lightning out of the blue! You introduce a point that I have not considered, and I must admit that you could be onto something with that theory. Still, there was no mention of, or reference to, Intel still being in the picture in HDC's recent 8-k filing, or in the accompanying PR, so if you are correct, that would surprise everybody, including me.

Yes, I agree with you one hundred percent.
A current email address and phone number are not that expensive, and go a long way to inspire confidence in the investor, and to establish legitimacy and credibility for a company. Hopefully, that is in the works, or on the agenda of things to get done. Hiring a staff costs money, but we will need an investor relations person at some point. Perhaps when the stock is trading again, we will have these items, as they will then be needed. Thanks for your comments mankind.

Let's consider this scenario and, someone with more knowledge, please weigh in. Let's say that after weeks of researching various companies who may be using SVM-RFE technology, Dr. Hauser drafts and sends letters informing these companies that they are using HDC's patented technology without a license. Once notified, these companies may take some time to respond. They may need to engage their legal departments. Once all of the information has been verified and a licensing agreement is presented for signature, these companies may have up to ninety additional days to begin making payments.
These arrangements are not lawsuits. They are licensing agreements. Therefore, those infringing companies, in all likelihood, could not be forced to pay for use which occurred before they were notified. Not sure about that one. One may have to sue to collect retroactive royalties, and I don't believe that Dr. Hauser wants to start suing people, as that is very expensive and time consuming.
My point with this post is that even if things are proceeding on course and on schedule, we may be looking at months, not days or weeks, before we get a PR disclosing a material event.

Thank you for sharing your astute insights, perspectives and ideas, mankind. I agree that our new CEO has a major incentive to grow value for the shareholders, as his compensation package is significantly stock based. Exactly how he accomplishes this goal, or what his "psychological motivations" might be is not for me to say, or speculate, however, he is most capable. By vultures, I assume that you mean many shareholders will be looking for the first opportunity to liquidate their HDVY stock. Perhaps so, but to grow value for shareholders implies that there will be some new element there to attract new buyers. Who knows? We could in fact be a part of something revolutionary that could change the world. JMHO.
