Of 100mm shars outstanding, I totalled up 68.5 held by off. & directors, 2 largest ind. holders, top 10 institutions & funds.
This leaves only 31.5mm for the day traders. With average daily volume now 8.5mm entire "available" float changes hands every 4 days.
Like you I'm "all in" and can hardly wait.

Most of the individual investors are already "all in" (myself included).

This is the part that worries me - when guys with deep pockets like Stuart and ownerofbusinees and the rest of us with medium or shallow pockets have exhausted our resources buying as many bus tickets as we can, who will take this stock to 40 and 50 and on up? Institutions? Maybe, but I'm sure they don't want to feel like they're buying at the top. Perhaps if there were global settlements, institutions that still follow Rambus (how many are there) would feel comfortable piling in. In order for there to be a short squeeze, there has to be buying pressure - they have to get nervous or get called in. There is one analyst that has an official rating on Rambus and Hambrecht isn't a top tier firm like MS or Merrill or JPM or Goldman.

I am personally not selling and I get the impression that no one that really knows this story is selling either, but who is going to buy?
