    Research In Motion: Stock's Weakness Presents Buying Opportunity [view article]
    Wow, I didn't even read this quote closely, what a nice little gem:

    "...Apple, with 50 years of history as chief revolutioneer under it's belt does..."

    i didn't realize that Apple was incorporated in 1958.

    Alton P. - wow, who peed in your wheaties? Funny you attack me personally yet have no idea of my investing pedigree or anything about me, just a single comment. it's not smart to drive looking through the rear view mirror, especially when going fast. Your valuation metrics are extremely valuable because I always buy stocks by looking at the past, caring little about what the future holds. The technical charts are always giving signals until fundamentals take over. To call RIM's fundamentals poor displays your total lack of understanding for the story. 100% plus earnings and revenue growth? yeah, that is really poor. I'm happy to wait and see how the stock performs over the next few years. that "carcass" will show amazing resiliency. Try to lighten up and enjoy life a little... Reply

    "RIM represents one of the best growth opportunities in this market, along with Apple." you say ?

    There's no "along" to be had. The correct sentence reads "Apple represents the sort of opportunity RIMM attempts to fake".

    Consider the fundamentals :

    AAPL :

    Trailing P/E (ttm, intraday): 36.43

    Price/Sales (ttm): 5.34
    Price/Book (mrq): 8.51

    Revenue (ttm): 28.75B
    Total Cash (mrq): 19.45B

    RIMM :

    Trailing P/E (ttm, intraday): 43.27

    Price/Sales (ttm): 9.25
    Price/Book (mrq): 14.95

    Revenue (ttm): 7.17B
    Total Cash (mrq): 1.38B

    Four times the revenue, 20 times the cash on hand, half the price, multi-industry multi-product line leader Apple, with 50 years of history as chief revolutioneer under it's belt does NOT anything whatsoever along single line, single product, delays-and-issues, technologically stale, RIMM. You're not comparing apples and oranges, you're comparing flies and fly swatters.

    On top of which, RIMM just put in a very rare triple top, setting the long term high price under 122, and is just cents away from a death cross.

    I'm not sure what more you need to recognize a rotting carcass of a stock, but for a recap : Poor fundamentals, single product ex-mommentum stock with a broken mommentum, horrible TA graphs in a bear market.

    It doesn't have a prayer, so yea, I am disgruntled, but not "with the market in general".

    I am disgruntled with people that are willing to offer poison as advice, on the theory that the gullible fools ingesting it won't know, and by the time they figure it out it will be too late anyway. That'd be people like you.     Reply

    RIM is a deer caught in the headlights of the iPhone. We sit watching it in slow motion, the truck just hasn't hit it yet, but it's getting closer. Reply

    Will iPhone 3G Cause RIM Customers to Churn to Apple? [view article]
    Industry analysts are predicting that Apple, by adding business-user functionality in the iPhone 3G, and RIM, with the introduction of the Blackberry Bold later this year, are on a collision course.

    Collision Course????

    Read the following and it sounds more like Apple & Co. has a steamroller and RIM has a moped. The Thunder should be BETTER than the Bold. read on..

    Verizon Wireless is counting on a touchscreen BlackBerry from Research In Motion -- code-named "Thunder" -- to help it compete against archrival AT&T, which is Apple's exclusive U.S. carrier partner for the new iPhone 3G. Here's hoping things get worked out, fast: Mobile blog Boy Genius Report says Thunder is "nowhere near being able to enter production," citing a source who, the site claims, works for RIM (RIMM).

    What's wrong with Thunder? Well, what isn't wrong with it? The keyboard is "incredibly annoying" to type on, the screen shows "ripples even when pressed ever-so-lightly," the user interface "blinks and lags," and the software is "a joke." Based on how long it's taken RIM and AT&T (T) to sort out problems with the forthcoming BlackBerry Bold, BGR concludes, "Thunder won?t be ready for at least another 4-5 months."

    Good LUCK with that BOYZ!!!     Reply

    Good response, PhillyD. You might also note that just recently an independent audit (McDaniels) showed good probability of reserves being TRIPLE what BQI originally (and conservatively) reported. Reply

    iPhone Can Replace Laptops for Majority of Computer Users [view article]
    LOL, cloud computing isn't suitable for most business enterprises. There are legal and security issues they face that an individual, who isn't particularly concerned about identity theft, must face. Yes, there are legal requirements for handling information to protect potential privileges in any future civil litigation; there are handling requirements to protect intellectual property and other proprietary information; there are a growing number of state laws regarding the handling of sensitive information, including client identity/financial records, etc. I need a laptop with office applications and you can bet that I encrypt files on a laptop. Unless you simply a blogger, I wouldn't be so quick to think you can travel with an iPhone and use cloud computing for conducting your employer's business on the road. Better check your company's IT security policies, least you get in very hot water. Reply

    Please remember that RIM's 2010 year ends Feb 2010 or only about 18 months out, so he's only guessing about next year's earnings.

    Alton P., you seem to be disgruntled by the broader markets, no need to take it out on this analyst - he's actually been pretty good on RIMM.

    RIM represents one of the best growth opportunities in this market, along with Apple. Everyone is focused on the head to head at the high end of the market and they fail to realize that RIM is quietly positioning the company to serve ALL markets. Add the massive distribution RIM has (375 networks) and they have a huge opportunity to compete against iPhone for high end users and compete against samsung, lg, motorola at the lower end. Don't be so sure that having the absolute best mobile platform will mean others can't do well. After all, how many years has Apple made much better computer products with a kick ass OS but only realized a very low mkt share. Fortunately this is beginning to change. Being long both RIMM and AAPL will serve you well in the next few years as mobile users move en mass from dumb phone/text only devices to full fledged smartphone/mini-comput...     Reply

    iPhone Can Replace Laptops for Majority of Computer Users [view article]
    i think the point here is that the iPhone i obviously the start of the shirt pocket computer. just because it doesn't do everything a laptop does now, doesn't mean it won't eventually. remember that laptops didn't do everything they do now either. remember computers with NO internal hard drives in 1983? and... hey... remember when there WAS NO INTERNET? it's all called innovation. Apple will figure it out and when they do, they'll make even more $. Reply

    "$225 /RIMM share would create a market cap of $125b for a company with a single product line and competition hot on its heels. Really !!"

    Moreover, why bet money on the guys playing tech-catch up vs the best the computer/CE company on the planet-- a company, which I add--ALSO has a depressed stock price right now. Woo-hoo--Rimm is playing around with touch screens-- I'm SO excited. Well, Apple just made 3rd party apps simple with iPhone 2, and, you know what? Dollars to donuts, there'll be a really improved iPhone 3 by 2010. AAPl also has a ridiculously low P/E.     Reply

    This is possibly the most irresponsible piece of "analysis" I've come across.

    This Peter Miserek fellow knows what RIMM will earn in 2010 ? I have no idea what I'll be earning in 2010, in spite of being employed now, in a senior position, in a job I've had for 5 years now, with a company I've worked for 14.

    But I can't tell you what, if anything, I'll be making in 2010. I can tell you what I save, because it's been the same more or less for a decade, and I used to be able to tell you what I have saved, in my retirement fund, in my kid's college funds, and so on.

    Not anymore, they've seen to that, these professionals. In between Oct 2006, when Greenspan first said "it appears the housing slump may well be already over" through this April and May 2008, I've lost maybe half my money.

    Did I do something stupid ? Yes, I did. I followed analysts, and the advice of people who are "professionals&qu... and use their "experience" and "skill" to advise the rest of us, who have different skillsets and thus do different jobs.

    But let me tell you that if I'd do my job as well as these professionals, and the rest of hard working, real people'd do their job as well as these puppet heads, we'd all be cold hungry and naked.

    So, I can tell you what Peter The Good Soldier Ċ vejk SHOULD be making, tomorrow through 2010. It's the same everyone should be making, a fraction of the value of their work. In his case, that comes to the same ammount no matter what fraction you consider.

    I don't intend to let him help me out of the rest of my savings, saving money is a lot harder than saying stupid things in little "research notes" for a beer and two hot-dogs.     Reply
