REH: I am still here. RMBS usually goes up when nobody expects it to. Allen

REH, Still here. Watching my net worth decline daily, but, as someone else admitted earlier today, my market timing skills generally suck, so I'm here for the duration. If it keeps falling, I'll sell some of my other investments and buy more. I do think I agree, however, that we're not going to get any big jumps anytime soon. Next reasonable pop (and split?) happens when Camino-based systems start shipping. By the way, here's a table of price growth for a few of the big name techs since the bottom on 10/7/98 (we're not doing too badly): COMS 76.50% INTC 69.64% CSCO 63.86% MSFT 53.80% CPQ 51.83% RMBS 49.78% DELL 42.95% Dave B

NO! but I am not very fond of the trend. Wish I could tell you guys where it finally settles just not sure. Has to be a fair amount of profit taking going on. Wonder when or if FMR might step up and take out a couple mil. Question for the longs who plan to hold into 02 03 do you ever wonder if you have spent so much time researching and evaluating the Co. that you have fallen in love with the stock?

REH, no you're not. It bewilders me about the lack of patience that some Rambus "investors" have. I have a very healthy profit in my sizable Rambus position because I have been patient with this company. Obviously, my profit would be more significant if we were still in the 100 + range but I really wouldn't be that much happier. I'm more concerned with what RMBS going to be trading at one year to to 18 months from now. I'll bet anyone on this thread that it will be higher than 83. I bought a lot of leap contracts when Rambus was trading in high 40's and high 50's. Unfortunately, I just bought some extra shares at 89 on Friday but that's life. I would have been better off if I purchased them just before the close today. I may still have been better off if I waited until next week to purchase these shares, but who can know this for sure? I'm very confident that those shares I purchased at 89 will turn a nice profit eventually. I couldn't help but chuckle when some day trader posted that he hasn't made any significant money with Rambus by day trading it and he has incurred an awful lot of stress along the way. He would have been better off with Rambus and put less stress on his body if he bought the shares six months ago and immediately took a six month vacation to Fiji and not looked at the market. I've made a ton of money with my Intel shares/leaps/short puts in the last year, but it hasn't been that easy (maybe I should have taken my own advice and went to Fiji)<gg> . You have to have conviction in your stocks. I never sold my Intel and always bought a little more when I could. My performance in my main brokerage account sucked for the first half of 1998, but I believed in my stocks (mainly Intel and Rambus). It shouldn't be surprising to hear that my broker just informed me that I had the best return out of all of his team's clients for 1998. Thanks Intel, Rambus and even Dell too. Intel wants Rambus to become the standard and their alliance is ironclad. If anyone hasn't noticed, Intel calls the shots. WHAT INTEL WANTS INTEL GETS!! Their great management and $6 + Billion war chest will assure that. Mark Edelstone told me to put the stock under my pillow and not look at it too much due to the volatility. Actually, his unpublished stock price for RMBS is a lot higher than $110. He believes that Rambus has the potential to get to $180 +, but it will take a while to do this. That means we have the potential for more upgrades in the future when the time is right. Edelstone was probably right about RMBS being fully valued at $110 (for now)when he downgraded it recently. That certainly means it's a buy in the low 80's. We're talking about 32% upside to get us back to 110 where it is supposedly "fully valued" according to one of the best semi analysts in the industry. Wouldn't this be enough reason for an upgrade based solely on price? Let's all have some patience and the longs will do just fine. Good luck to all, Doug
