Stewart:
Does anyone have an estimate of what we can expect on the upside and downside?

I took a quick look at MIPS ,another semiconductor IP company, and they have P/E of 80; high open short interest and much slower top and bottom line growth than RMBS and MIPS is not going in the crapper ASAP.
I think that the high open short interest is the common theme amoung high priced IP companies. I took a brief look at AWRE, a DSL IP company, and they also had high open short interest. The shorts are looking for a IP company that will fall into total disfavor in their industry so that stock should effectively go to zero. However, on the flip side, if they gain a any new "unexpected" royalties the stock price soars on their need to cover their short.
