Re: C'mon Black this June will be 1 year since your Hype job
People on the board view rmbs as their religion that need to worship no matter what! And as soon as someone tells them the ugly side of the truth, they gang up on him/her to silence him/her! The result is that after 18 years, in a boiling market, Rmbs is stuck at where it was near the IPO, except that the number of shares has grown and passed on as options to executives for their incompetency.
Rambus' problem has always been incapable incompetent yet expensive management/BOD. It is still true, or else they would not try to live off empty slogans of buy coke, transformational deal, secret MOU, ... and never deliver. Black gave away the crown jewel of rmbs for (almost) free, and placed himself in a difficult position of making peanuts here and there to pay for his ridiculous compensation. What is there that he can sell (for a lot), and to whom?
Rmbs needs an effective competent CEO who can DELIVER results without ANY excuses, and without making next year being the year of deliverance. I bet Tennis could do better than buying Imerz, Unity, Lighting, ... and dumping them one by one.
Funny that people get so excited about a library in nowhere land, buying 110 light fixtures as if that brings billions of dollars of profit to share-holder pockets!
