Bill, Makes sense. I knew his daddy and liked him very much. But the kid is something of a twit. Of course, I get that from trying to peddle some articles to him in the past, which he rejected as "not our style to look at the negative side of companies." I always forgive, but I never forget. O.k., I don't forgive, either. <g>

Bill, you've got to be kidding, right? Yeats said it all: The Second Coming William Butler Yeats (1922) Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

somebody needs to teach you how to use the copy/paste function so you can put up these links... it ain't rocket science (VBFG) individualinvestor.com btw- after reading this and realizing who her husband is, i believe Maria could be guilty of several securities violations depending on how her cheerleading is viewed. would it be a shame if that big mouthed bass was a jailbird and forced to pay CNBC viewers damages who bot that tash heap from her husband after she touted it. I don't recall her ever disclosing that her husband was long the stock in one of her breathless morning pants about MU and how it was going to EXPLODE higher caus echip prices were flying... if... errr.. somebody -g-... wanted to place a call to an SEC office or make a causal suggestion to one of these firms that deal in class action shareholder lawsuits as to this fact after MU has collapsed to single digits... errr.. well.. things could get interesting post collapse when the angry mob is looking for someone to blame (VBG)

Bill F. re: Maria and hubby Someone needs to remind them that when Moore put forth his famous "Law" in 1965 it pertained to DRAM. It's still in effect. From Intel's site: In 1965, Gordon Moore was preparing a speech and made a memorable observation. When he started to graph data about the growth in memory chip performance, he realized there was a striking trend. Each new chip contained roughly twice as much capacity as its predecessor, and each chip was released within 18-24 months of the previous chip. If this trend continued, he reasoned, computing power would rise exponentially over relatively brief periods of time. I've seen some ridiculous statements, (ie; Klauer predicting DRAM prices will go up because RDRAM takes more silicon, reducing the amount of silicon available for DRAM). "We're seeing very favorable additions to Rambus technology - what Rambus technology does is reduce the net supply of DRAMs because they're bigger chips and so net supply ends up going down," Klauer said. What these people miss is the fact the number of bits available per wafer are growing according to Moore's Law, and probably magnified as wafer size grows. We've seen that in the recent industry forecast that 128Mb DRAM will soon sell for the price of 64Mb DRAM. JMHO's Gene
