KeepitSimple: Please educate all of us on your SPECIFIC short sales and ultimate covering purchases. We will enjoy tracking your profits and I can learn from the master how to effectively short a company whose chief backer, the largest and most powerful hardware company on earth, just completely reiterated support for its entire future lines of products. With friends and support like that, Rambus must fail!

KIS, On a "normal" rambus day, it would be up 50 points with the nazdaq rallying like it is. Last year there was a "famous" saying by unclewest "Naz up, RMBS down, situation normal" or "Naz down, RMBS up, situation normal". RMBS just about always traded against the trend. In fact, I've used that a couple of times to move money around (see the first 3-4 days of this year RMBS vs Naz which is the only timeframe I remember exactly). Then we finally had the short squeeze or whatever that drove it up, and the subsequent settling which are both independent of the Nasdaq. Maybe we're just getting back into our old patterns. Dave
