Between buggy first-implementations of chips, leadership shake-ups, and "being outfoxed by Intel," Transmeta is done, according to C|Net. With a low stock price, they might be a target for a takeover, with Via being the only named interested party."

    Sell today.
    Book a tax loss.
    Wait 30 days to avoid the wash-sale rule.
    More tax loss sellers hit the market.
    Buy your shares back lower.
    Company goes bankrupt.
    Have the worthless certificate issued.
    Frame it.
    Hang it over your desk.
    Don't make the same mistake again.
