So you think deferred revenues are not certain? Please xplain what you think deferred revenues are? Then look back at my earlier post and see what I wrote, please don't mis-quote me, here's what I wrote:

"In 1999 the semiconductor market will be about 80 billion, 10% market-share for Rambus would give Rambus a royalty of 120 million (based on 1.5% royalty). If we deduct 20% for G&A and R&D and 40% tax this should give Rambus an EPS of $ 2.16. Under this scenario stock price would be (relative to P/E):
P/E 30: $ 65.00 P/E 40: $ 86.00 P/E 50: $ 108.00
Historical P/E's: Low: 333 High: 940
At a P/E of 130 (less than half the low to date) the stock price would be $ 281.00!!!!

Let's say Rambus gets a 30% market-share in 2001 (and the semiconductor market in 2001 will be about 125 billion), then the numbers would look very impressive:
EPS (same variables as first example): $ 10.80
P/E 30: $ 324.00 P/E 40: $ 432.00 P/E 50: $ 540.00
At a P/E of 130 the stock price would be 1,404.00!!!!"

I'm a retired computer executive that sits on the board of 6 computer companies in Europe and the US, none of which I comment on.

My purpose is to analyse the information I get and share my thoughts with this thread - what's yours?

I do not think your nincompoops even though I find your latest post somewhat ignorant.

And yes, I agree on your last point - glad you see mine. However, the market does not see it and the stock-price reflects this.

I look forward to your explanation of deferred revenues based on US accounting standards!
