    A quick search using key words oil profits and reasonable profits board revealed these and many more hits. These should clarify my position and concerns which should concern all of you as well.

    UBS: Research In Motion Plans to Launch Four New BlackBerries this Year [view article]
    "Business users want iPod features, iTunes store, and will want iPhone apps as they appear before the 'bold' even ships. "

    Business users get what the businesses they work for give them. Why, if I'm in charge of setting up a communications network for 20,000 employees do I care if the device has access to the iTunes store? There are certainly great features on the iPhone that are very cool like the touchscreen and then which-way-am-I-holding-it orientation adjustment. But compared to a tactile, wait excuse me - "geeky 80s style" keyboard, most users are more efficient using something that gives responsive feedback.

    I'm not bashing the iPhone, it's a great device and as an AAPL long its helped give me some pretty decent returns. However the fan boy frenzy and foaming-at-the-mouth zealotry of some Apple fanatics is simply blinding you to the fact that you're missing out on a company that produces a great product that is widely adopted by both business and consumers. Your failure to realize that the smart phone market growth is by taking market share from simpler phones rather than cannibalizing its own sub-sector is keeping you on the sidelines as a company like RIMM hits all-time highs.

    So keep up the good work buying Apple products and making me money. And hell, keep talking bad about everything tech that isn't Apple... while missing out on the ride.     Reply

    Running out the door...only to say if the oil industry has limits put on it regarding how much it can make in profits, it will only one, make oil more expensive and drive companies further from any possible exploration in or near the usa and two, it will only be a matter of time until it is deemed other companies and entire sectors are making too much profit...who is to decide how much money a company can make? what happened to free enterprise? This is a huge threat to investors and free enterprise and capitalists alike.I'll try to find more info to post if you like...gotta go Reply

    Unfortunately other things are demanding my attention at this moment and I cannot give you the attention I would like to however it is urgent mthat either I educate you or you all educate your selfs about the Reasonable Profits Board. Incidentally, this is not to ensure profits larger profits for the company but to take away profits from oil companies because the uneducated public is screaming that their profit margins are too large. The issue has been on the news numerous times recently. I will try to find further information for all of you and post it b/c I feel it is an iportant issue for all investors to be aware of. I truly wish I had the luxury of more time right now but I do not. Be well. Reply

    The concern about "reasonable profits" probably comes from an errant story that has been floating around for more than a year. The story is about Nancy Pelosi and quotes her saying that she supports a 100% windfall profits tax on stock market trading profits - including that of retired persons. It has been labeled as fallacious by factcheck.org (try this link: www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/did_pelos... ). Reply

    New BlackBerry, New Fund: Is RIM's Moat Wide Enough? [view article]
    More comments of the usual AAPL fanatic nonsense to follow later I'm sure. It makes this site such a treat to read.

    No technology company has anything Buffett would call a moat and that includes the fantatics favorite as well. 10 years from now new leaders will emerge in the innovation game to replace the current ones. Tech is probably the worst place a buy/hold investor can be in(health care coming close).

    The Pacific Ocean isn't a big enough "moat" for Blackberry. They are "toast". Reply

    New BlackBerry, New Fund: Is RIM's Moat Wide Enough? [view article]
    The real question is what phones will primarily be used for in the future:generating text or viewing information. The RIM, with its mechanical keyboard is better for the former, the iPhone with its large screen and touch interface is better for the latter, whether it entertainment or business data. Third parties will provide miniature Bluetooth keyboards for iPhone users who must have one. And when Apple is ready to administer the coup de grâce, it can simply introduce a model with a fold out/slide out keyboard. Reply

    Congratulation on a discussion that goes nowhere. Jersey, it will do us all a favor if you can back up your statements with some links to this "Reasonable Profits Board" for example. This is the first I've heard about it. I can name a number of companies that I have been expecting reasonable profits from for years and have only been disappointed. Reply

    copy cat to iPhone: app funds, sophisticated and sleek, style conscious. RIMM feels AAPL breathing down its neck and is answering. Reply

    Dear Dectra, Whatever are you ranting about? Do you know something I don't know? If you'll look back, I never accused the Democrats specifically of anything, I merely mentioned that fact that when Presidential elections take place during times of particularly economic stressful times the Democrats more often than not end up in office, if that fact troubles you that's your prerogative. I am not endorsing either party, not by any means and I'm certainly not looking to scare anyone. If I scared you I apologize but I am just stating the facts, again, if you choose not to see them that's your choice, we all are entitled to our opinions, enjoy it. There are not so blind as those that will not see ... I'm not directing that to you now Dear Dectra, I'm simply stating there are none so blind as those that will not see, take it however you like but I know I'm not gonna bend over so easily for anybody, but that's me. You're welcome to bend over for whomever you choose, enjoy and have a lovely day. Reply

    Most investors are 'wintarded', so the RIMM looks good to them. (Shhhh, guys, windoze is only a bad copy of Mac. Average Joe is catching on to this despite what he has been told, or perhaps on account of it.) How is the Bold going to compete with the browser on the iPhone when it has no touch screen, and it's so small and horizontal? On the iPhone you just point at what you want to enlarge. How is that going to work with the pointer controller on the bold blackberry? Business users want iPod features, iTunes store, and will want iPhone apps as they appear before the 'bold' even ships. Some of them actually have listened to music before and might learn something from a podcast, etc...

    Bold takes more than a few visual cues from iPhone, looks as much like an iPhone as possible but with a geeky 80's style keyboard. IMHO it will fail miserably. It also will come along later than the 2nd gen iPhone.

    Jersey, you are full of bull. NO, the Democrats are NOT suggesting a 50% tax rate. Rangel is suggesting a 4.6 percentage-point surtax on high incomes. Do some basic math BEFORE you start your GOP Fearmongering.

    And, not for nothing, I'd also like to add: 6 1/2 years of GOP misrule have destroyed the value of the dollar and seen the price of Oil more than Quadruple.

    The bush Administration, which, thanks to its massive deficits and tax give-aways to the rich and corporations, to its war spending, and to its failure to combat unprecedented and ever-larger trade deficits, has been causing the dollar to plunge in value.

    And you're worried about paying taxes? I'm more outraged over the loss of purchasing power of the Dollar under this inept, incompetent administration.

    I'm more interested if Ms. Whitney believes there were both Confederate and Union wounded being treated side by side, in the Lutheran Church at the Battle of Antietam. Reply
