Technology Stocks : Rambus (RMBS) - Eagle or Penguin -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

KZ & all:

So what, pray tell, does Rambus do with all those year 2001-? earnings? Give them to the stockholders as dividends? Maybe some small portion but it's not likely to be much. So where do you invest other than in your own future with R&D?

Do you buy back stock? Or do you buy other companies? Or?

Of course, at the prices we've seen forecast for RMBS in that timeframe, every 1M shares will cost the company a goodly chunk of those earnings. I'd opt for this way of spending the cash myself - if I had any say.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Not a bad problem.

Barry

as revenues mount so will expenses, albeit at a rate less than revenues. to avoid obsolescence company must reinvest in r&d; to increase sales and keep customers satisfied, sales and customer service expenses will increase. i think expenses in 2001-2 timeframe will be at least 2x, more likely closer to 3x.
