Don, volume is only important in context. 600K shares traded today. 420K of those traded in the last hour. Any other day in the past 2 weeks, Rambus would have been at $39. Today, we closed down 1/2. And 3/8 of that was due to a whopping 15K shares traded in the last 8 minutes. This baby looks like it has pretty damned good support at $43. Someone was buying those huge blocks. In the past, it would have been a nightmare day if not.

>>NO-body considers Rambus a large cap stock... I doubt if it is even considered a Mid-cap.. << Sorry, but I could be silent no longer. Don, do you think you have the power to change the definitions of what categories stocks are in? Shares x price = Market capitalization. It is a formula. Rambus has a market cap of about $1 billion dollars. This is solidly in the midcap range, and depending on whose definition you use, it can be considered a large cap. Ibexx, I think it was you a while back that asked people to post only relevant, pertinent, factual information, or post nothing (I'm paraphrasing what I remember; forgive me if I'm incorrect or off base.) I find it helpful to read all the posts, because they help me to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to those posting here. I can now go through the new messages on this thread and know immediately which posts are worth a thorough read and which ones can be skipped over with a glance (and maybe a grimace or a chuckle). Absolutely no offense intended towards any of you RMBS posters, but there is a lot of naivete here. All of the posts make it easy to judge who's credible and who's suspect. One final comment: Think what you want, because you're going to anyway. But if you think the RMBS stockholders on this thread can start a short squeeze, I'd call that very naive. Please don't take offense; maybe I'm the one who is naive. Tom
