Jan. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Rambus Inc., a designer of high- speed memory chips, won a key decision today in its effort to collect patent royalties from Nvidia Corp. over computer- graphics chips.

A judge with the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington said today that Nvidia is violating three patents owned by Rambus. Judge Theodore Essex’s decision, which is subject to review by the full commission, may result in a ban on imports of Nvidia chips and products that use them, including some computers made by Hewlett-Packard Co.

The revenue machine begins to really gear up now. Not too late to buy a bit of RMBS before the market understand the implications...

That anonymous post was me...I didn't catch that I was logged out till I posted it. So how do non-financial planner types buy stock? I don't have a guess (the interwebs say to get a broker, but that seems a lot like getting a bookie.)

If you have more than $5,000 to invest, then it makes sense to open a cheap brokerage account at one of the financial supermarkets: Schwab, E*Trade, Fidelity -- more choices of better products at a lower price than a bank, and they do banking as well. You can buy and sell stocks, mutual funds, bonds, etc through them. Conventional brokerages (with brokers who suggest products) cost more in fees and biased recommendations than they are worth.

But nobody should be buying individual stocks until they are almost debt-free and have a wide variety of safer investments.
