ParkerVision, Inc. (PRKR)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company is in the business of designing, developing and marketing its proprietary wireless radio frequency technologies for use in semiconductor circuits for wireless radio applications.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

This stock is a long running scam.
From http://www.pvnotes.com/prkr-short-recalls :
Over the past few years (at a mininum, 2006 and 2007), there have been repeated short recalls. They are sizeable and appear to be organized. Some large holders of ParkerVision appear to make large amounts of stock available for loan. Since the stock is such an obvious short, generally the stock is quickly taken and shorted. When the stock price needs a boost, sizeable and simultaneous stock recalls go out. This puts the stock on the SHO list, and over the next week or so the stock price rises - sometimes considerably. This generally coincides with a significant increase in posting on the Yahoo PRKR board. The price boost is often used to cover over bad news or lack of good news.

We caution anyone considering a taking a short position in PRKR to be careful. Make sure you have a solid locate. Below about 5M shares shorted there appears to be no problem, above 6M shorted you can count on a big recall, between the two is the grey area. This behavior appears to be semi-legal (unless Jeff Parker is involved in organizing the recalls - in which case there are serous question of Reg FD).

An almost worthless stock and one of the most fascinating scams in stock market history. Management has artfully managed to sell "the sizzle" by promising that it discovered a major breakthrough more than a decade ago yet it has never produced a meal: no revenues, no earnings and its price/sales ratio is astronomical.





But don't be too sure that you can bring your red thumb to the bank any time soon. A review of the scorecard for this stock over the past few years reveals an erratic price history in which some red thumbs -- and some green thumbs'' have done well while others have done poorly.





Of course, in the long run the market will expose this sham. But a cynic might also remind us that, in the long run, we'll all be dead.





Thus it is with my eyes wide open that I can't resist shorting this stock anyway.
