I have 200,000 dollars . . .

Lifted from the Rambus board at Yahoo:

I have 200,000 dollars woth (sic) of Rambus stock. Does this bother you? If it does ...Too Fcking (sic) BAD!!!!
The size of your investment does not impress or concern me. Although, I hope at some point your $200K is $200M - but for entirely selfish reasons.

I am fortunate as my average share price is slightly above $8.00. However, the green sky above is getting thin and I am not amused.

I am fortunate - many are not. As shareholders, they have a right to "whine" if they feel the need. You don't like it, too bad.

Rambus is an investment, not a religion. Nobody is going to Hades for "losing the Rambus faith".

The annual meeting was uninspiring. More to the point, it was a disaster.

A slide or slides were missing.

Important content on a slide was merely glossed over - DDR2 complaint. Who is being served? What is the big secret? Complaints are public documents once filed.

No comment was made about the new director.

I don't expect the annual meeting of shareholders to conclude with all in attendance joining hands and singing. I do expect to feel informed, that those in charge have a solid game plan and that they are not running the company by the seat of their pants.

Guess it is a bit tough to put on a game face when you are still wiping the egg off that splashed up when the tapes were "found".

Don't get me wrong, I am hoping the tapes put Hynix six feet under.

I am wondering if the tapes would have helped in VAII or VAI for that matter?

I guess it is a bit tough to put on a game face when you have been handed your a** by Infineon.

Don't get me wrong, $150M isn't chump change - it would feed AI's family for a few years. But it is a far cry from fair value.

Don't get me wrong, I remain convinced that settling was the right thing to do. But it is hard to feel good about it.

Hughes, et al. time to reload. Take a holiday. Hire a PR firm. Send Steve flowers and make a lunch date.
