The FTC may be resolved, but it may still be on appeal. The Richmond case should be resolved by then, but it may be on appeal at that also. Micron will likely be over and on appeal. Hynix may not be completed. In Europe, matters could be resolved by then, but who knows. So if there are no settlements, legal issues may still be in process in 20 months. The only other thing that could move this stock is signicant new earnings developments, but there are only 6 or 7 quarterly reports before 2005 leaps expire. I like leaps for the leverage if we get a big move, but they are riskier than holding the stock. This is a guess as to the chances for timing of settlements - FWIW : Rambus is stuck until the legal picture becomes more clear............that could take 3 months or 4 years. The big money is gonna try to squash Rambus every chance it gets over the next few years! Do I think the big money is gonna win?..........Nope, but the stock just might not go anywhere for a few years fighting off the scum also (anything can happen but it looks like were on waiting mode again for the courts). Remember, the name of the game is to buy a stock and be able to sell it to a bigger dope at a higher price......this is all a game (a big boys game) so don't play it like it's a cause for being right or the guy that plays fair always wins.
