Rambus The Latest To Have 'Insider' Posting Anonymously On Message Boards
from the long-or-short? dept
Last month the news came out that the CEO of Whole Foods was (anonymously) active on stock message boards about the company's stock. It really shouldn't be that surprising that top insiders would pay some attention to the stock message boards -- and the temptation must be pretty strong to step in, especially when some questionable comments come up. In fact, it's almost surprising we haven't seen more such stories. The latest is that the wife of Rambus' CEO was apparently quite active on certain stock message boards defending the company and the CEO specifically on many occasions. Of course, what makes this even more interesting is that Rambus is famous for having really rabid stock message board followers (who have attacked us in the past for questioning the strategy of the company that some believe is not much more than a glorified patent troll). So, we have to wonder if it was some of that rabid fandom that resulted in the CEO's wife taking part... or was it family and friends who helped build up that core group of blind supporters?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

I would suggest that Rambus nay-sayers visit rambus.org
to find out what has transpired since 1997. It is the most
comprehensive web site documenting Rambus news and court cases. In a matter of minutes you can determine whether
Rambus is an eagle or penguin.

On the other hand, apparently the PS3 fanboys love the RMBS IP in their systems.

I would also add that Rambus stock is almost certainly manipulated, maybe not by insiders, but by forces on Wallstreet. The classic moment was last year just prior to the verdict in the Hynix trial when a false rumor that Rambus had lost the trial caused the stock to plunge. The Jim Cramer types then bought low at around $21 and sold a few minutes later at over $40 after the verdict in favor of Rambus was announced.
Moral of the story: If you are going to buy it, buy it now at $12.46 not next year at $47.
