Don't have a clue re rmbs next move. But I haven't sold any yet, so I guess that reveals something about wht I think, right? It does seem to be holding firm here around 200, which actually suprises me. I would've thought some profit taking would have taken it to 185 or so (plagiarizing Zeev's # here) before the weekend. I assume the PSII will prevent it from falling much at all next week, and may push it higher. Victor

Hold for capital gains treatment. I've been in for 11 months. This will make a great deal of money for you in the long run. This stock has a good 2 year run ahead of it. Stuart

John and Victor...I believe that credit card debt, like any debt a person holds, becomes a debt of the estate upon death. Now, there are a variety of federal and state exemptions (homestead, et al) which can protect some of the estate from creditors, but they and usually do claim against any available assets. Now, if a person is so highly leveraged and what assets they have are secured (giving the holder of the security interest claim on those assets) there might not be enough available assets to pay off credit card debt, which is unsecured, lower preference debt after the exemptions are satisfied. So....in the worst cases, the credit card debt could be discharged because of nothing to pay it from. But I am not aware of any law which automatically eliminates such debt upon death. Other family members would not be liable for it, except in community property states a spouse might be jointly liable as the debt is really a community debt. Hey, How about that Rambus!!!!!! Don Green..Nice to see you back.
