I've always been put off by the many "empty" posts on SI in general. I wish there were guidelines. Could we at least do the following: 1. Make sure there is some news to draw to our attention. It could be a news story, or new information on a web link, or a new recommendation, or a new analysis, or press release, or earnings projection, etc. The strength of this forum is that we are the eyes are ears for each other. We can point out things which others might have missed. 2. Forget your analyses. If they are worth anything, then you should be a billionaire, or on your way there. Do you really think that you know anything new about this industry? Forget crap like: "This baby is going to $150!!" If you say that, then will you personally bet me (say $10,000) that this will happen? I presume that if you believe your own speculations that you'd be willing to pay me 10 to 1 on that bet? In the spirit of item #1, here is something from www.cnnfn.com: Chips get back on rally wagon The chip sector got back on its feet, as optimism appeared that the memory-chip segment could weather softening of the PC market. Rambus (RMBS) added 4 to 66-1/16. Analysts said Korea's Samsung has voiced a strong commitment to Rambus' memory -- or DRAM -- chips. Meanwhile, analysts said chip giant Intel (INTC) said it would be driving the DRAM technology to the PC market in the second half of 1999. Intel shares fell 1-5/16 to 117-15/16. Elsewhere, memory chip maker Micron Technology (MU) sank 4-9/16 to 47-7/16, even though it reported earnings after the bell Wednesday that beat analysts' targets by 10 cents. And Applied Materials (AMAT) rallied 3-11/16 to 61-1/16, while low-cost chip maker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) rose 3/8 to 16-1/8. Elsewhere, SDL (SDLI) soared 6-1/18 to 75-1/2, after announcing a 2-for-1 stock split, while Novellus (NVLS) headed up 2-7/16 to 55 and KLA Tencor (KLAC) rose 4-1/4 to 51-5/8.
