Re: Come back after you've gotten an education, son. Blake, I haven't held a stake in Rambus, yet. I posted every trade I've made in real time on SI. Find where I shorted Rambus. If you don't understand a short squeeze, you are the one that needs an education. Frankly, there has been too much short interest (and still is) for me to take a stake in Rambus, yet. Any "good news" can make this thing go up by 20% as the shorts cut their losses, and as we've already seen multiple times.

Do you have any clue how options are accounted for in GAAP? They are not counted as expenses, and do not subtract from the bottom line. Many have rightfully stated that if the value of options were subtracted from a company's balance sheet, even microsoft wouldnt have been profitable yet because insiders have sold tens of billions of dollars of stock. Employee options are not the only way shares can be given away. Just ask Amazon. They paid for their entire inventory supplies for the first two years with stock. Great scheme while it lasts. <<None of those hundreds of millions in Rambus stock given away shows up on the bottom line. Not a single cent. The only place it shows up is in existing shareholder dilution, but who cares about that anymore anyway?>> ROTFLMAO!!! This is special! I'm laughing so hard I've got tears in my eyes!!! You guys are manna from heaven! LOL!
