CarlY - I did just that. Before Jan 14, I felt that the competent Rambus management had the capability of controlling earnings through the allocation of the cash hoard from license deals, that they list as a liability on their balance sheet. And at the same time they had no incentive to fuel yet more premature runups in the stock price, leading to periodic crashes. I therefore guessed that they would come out exactly at concensus estimates (as I posted at the time).

I sold half my RMBS holdings and converted to an equivalent no. of shares in LIXARs and ZIXARs (at that time the price of ZIXAR 90's was in the mid-40's!!), freeing up cash for shorter term investments (or should I say - speculations!).

Regards - Bernard

carl y , if you can stand to pay the premium, the leaps make perfect sense. especially if you think it is dead money.the leverage you gain beyond the strike price is something to behold. all you risk is the price you pay.once you're past the strike , the skys the limit.you must be prepared to lose it all if you don't meet the strike,if not, don't play. capt. rocky (you must recover your premium too)
