While I am not agreeing on $ 5, I will sell about 1/4th of what I have to recover the cost. (In @ 2.33 few weeks ago) The rest will be my free-ride :D

Actually my bad, i am in no way well informed about this stock for me to predict a price. I just wanted to put a random number, but my idea is, the next test result is sometime in november so there certainly will be a pull back.

Ok, I took some profit by selling 30% @ $ 11.10 and covered the initial cost :) But I should've waited few minutes for 11.50!! But the rest is flying and I am happy enough.

Or a few more minutes for 11.70+ :p

All joking aside, I was originally planning on not buying any more today. But now I'm starting to have second thoughts... :/

edit: rationally I think the price will come back down... probably people covering before the day's end. But still, hard to resist clicking "MOAR NAO"

wow I owned 2000 (200,000 shares exposure) contracts with a price of .05 @ 12.50 on HGSI after reading this board as a lottery ticket.

RMBS has been redeemed.

I didn't expect such a strong showing today. Now I'm wondering if I've missed the window to increase my position or if it's still a good time. Guess I'll have to see what happens tomorrow, though I'm very tempted to click "buy". What're you other longs doing?

I added more positions @ 9.90 before I sell some @ 11.10 to cover my cost including new positions this morning. (Average PPS was 3.85 with new position) I am putting sell order @ $ 30 and will see if the order goes thru in a year. :)

Nice move. I was hesitant in the early trading hours b/c I feared it would pop up and come back down... so I didn't want to buy too quickly and missed out.

Gotta decide whether I should buy in at 12.5 tomorrow or wait it out and see what happens.

Appeals Court DENIES temporary stay, infringers must ceast and desist from importing and selling TSRA products in the USA

WOW! I am shocked that they are denying the temporary stay. This is very good news for TSRA. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't already have settlement/contracts drawn up to the one similiar to the settlement with Motorola (at a higher price since the rest of the companies didn't take out an insurance policy like Motorola did).

Woo hoo! I am glad I didn't sell at $29 like I originally planned!

Uptrend still intact, but unless they announce something special tomorrow, I don't think the earnings will amount to much excitement. They already warned a few weeks ago. We need to look forward to the AT Trial in Sept and cross our fingers the remaining two writs the manufacturers submitted gets denied so the trial stays on course.

Analyst Jeff Schreiner of Capstone Investments said the stock fell on news that a trial date would be delayed in one of many lawsuits in which Rambus claims it is owed patent royalties.

Anyone know which case was delayed? How long is the delay?

Stock didn't really fall, it was pretty stable until Microsoft announce earnings and now the entire market is set to open significantly lower.

The ITC Trial is delayed a few weeks because of a jurist being busy... no big deal at all and the anti-trust is still on schedule.

I have to admit that Rambus' earnings conference call yesterday was one of the better ones to date. There were two new analysts who called in with questions along with the other three that always do. They responded to concerns the shareholders have voiced for some time now. They have been doing better since the Annual Shareholders Meeting. For those who don't know what happened, here's a bit of background:

Rambus needs to grant options as part of they pay package to retain their top talent and future employees. However, we (the shareholders) were getting frustrated that since John Dansforth (their general counsel who initiated the AT case) was booted, their communication to us has, quite frankly, sucked. Stuart Steele, one of Rambus' largest shareholders, rallied up the shareholders and the mutual funds that held a lot of shares, asking them to vote NO on option grants this year. It still passed, but only by a 65%. Rallying 35% of the votes is huge, and I think they got the message and became a lot better at communicating, rather than their standard "can't comment" when we ask litigation questions.

On another note, settling with Hynix, Lavelle may have indicated some elements of a possible deal

The exchange below highlights what may be involved:

Philip Zera - Algorithm Capital
So Hynix is conceivably, if they participate in the EU framework then they would pay the lower rate outside of the United States, correct?

Thomas Lavelle
No, they would get to pay the total rate worldwide for all of the affected products going forward. It would not in any way affect the $400 million judgment that is already been entered.

Philip Zera - Algorithm Capital
Yes, right. I just meant going forward.

Thomas Lavelle
Yes, going forward, they theoretically could enter into a worldwide license agreement with us assuming this goes forward and I think it probably will. They could take that forward looking rate as their long, forward-looking settlement.

So Tom thinks the EU proposal is a done deal. That is great news and may be a precursor to dominoes beginning to fall.

If Rambus lets Hynix escape the AT trial for a nominal fee, the above discussed possibility where Hynix takes the EU deal may make sense as Rambus still takes Samsung and Micron into the AT trial.

Rambus doesn't need Hynix to be part of the AT trial so as long as they sign a forward license, pay the back damage and pay a negotiated(probably small) amount to be removed from the AT trial.

The benefit to Rambus of ending the Hynix litigation is the cash flow implication which would allow Rambus to pursue the acquisitions that they are pursuing.

The stock price would spike and acquisitions could be made with stock in conjunction with cash.

I'm actually HOPING that the stock price goes down in the interim (even though I do have some Aug call options). Hopefully, once the remaining two writs are denied, I'm going to load up on even more shares/options. Too many things can happen after those writs.

Might be getting your wish today, haha.

Thanks for the CC summary; I wasn't able to listen in.
