Do not consider 25% a small institutional base
Institutional ownership has decreased 2.7% quarter over quarter and if you back out PrimeCap and Vanguard's ownership, institutional ownership is a measly 11.87% the rest of which can be explained by Rambus' inclusion in the Russell and Nasdaq indices and the necessity for index funds to hold Rambus.
And I still consider 25% small - look at the following institutional ownership numbers:
QCOM 69%
MU 82%
ATI 68%
NVDA 60%
Cadence 91%
The closest comparison is IDCC and they are higher at 34%.
In addition to a gaping hole in IR, they have a gaping hole in Sales/Marketing given that the CFO, "Bumbling Bob", is the de facto speaker at every investor presentation.
BTW OT - I hope you weren't offended when I referred to you as a clown - I have a lot of respect for your opinion and I was poking fun at myself as much as you.
