Quiz: 7 Amazing Facts From 2007 [view article]
ETFC only declined more on a % basis. In $'s, CFC was way out in front, thus, the big $'s for its strangely hued CEO. ReplyRIM 'Priced to Perfection'; Gadgets Top Gifts in '07 [view article]
Absolutely true about Apple. This could be the first year there is no significant dip after MacWorld. Some short traders will no doubt dump the stock, but there may be an excess of investors trying to buy at this time (which is well known as a typical dip.Windows users and pundits main problem with the iPhone is that it's not as tightly integrated with Windows as it is with Mac. Well, DUH. Reply

nice ! The ETFC got me, too. Picked CFC! ReplyRIM 'Priced to Perfection'; Gadgets Top Gifts in '07 [view article]
I am amazed at how many people have made such comments in this last (tax selling) week of the year. I think AAPL held up remarkably well with the onslaught of sales. It should reach $210 or better by Macworld. After that it will probably see some selling pressure but the long term (12-18 months) is $300 when Wall Street realizes the hidden value of the iPhone venture to spur the biggest money maker of all for this COMPUTER MAKER, the Mac.

Steve--I think a good follow-up here would be a case study of what happened to RIMM's stock price over the November-December period. Specifically, a Morgan Keegan analyst downgraded the stock early on during this period, after which all kinds of negative buzz began, about how the stock had "broken down". I believe it got as low as $99, after reaching a high of $137.Could RIMM have gone from being one of the vaunted "four horseman" stud stocks, to a broken stock, and then back to having targets around $170 again--all in a space of 8 weeks? There are more and more examples of gaming and rigging going on in the market--which are occasionally illegal, such as naked shorting. More often than not, it's just a case of traders trying to create buying opportunities. This is fine, as long as such people don't masquerade as financial analysts when they're merely traders like the rest of us, trying to make a few bucks. One SA writer offered a piece two weeks ago urging readers to bail out of AAPL ("get out while you can"), raising all kinds of wierd scenarios about the company's future; to read this garbage, you would have thought Apple was some kind of speculative play. And it came out only days before AMZN published its "top 10" list of best selling holiday gadgets, five of which belonged to Apple.
In the case of the Morgan Keegan analyst and RIMM, I wouldn't necessarily question his motives, but I'd sure question his competence--especially now that RIMM is being hailed again as a star. One guest on CNBC suggested last week that they could ultimately grow their subscriber base to 100 million. While this may represent an opposite extreme of optimism, it's increasingly difficult for the average investor to find that "sensible center" middle ground, where the truth usually lives. Reply

Zacks Says Hold RIMM, But Raises Price Target [view article]
This guy's forward PE is way off - I show mean first call consensus earnings of $3.39 for 2009 fiscal. That equals 34x. The company grew 100% last quarter YOY and if they hit 2009 numbers, it will be 50% growth over 2008 (vs. mean estimates of $2.24).The rich valuation of the shares reflect the high growth prospects yet the shares still trade at a discount to forward growth (forward PE of 34x vs. earnings growth FY08 to FY09 of about 50% = .70 PEG). Doesn't look too bad to me...even looks cheap if you believe the "smart" phone growth story over the next few years. Reply

Your risk comes into play only if RIMM falls below $105, otherwise both positions expire worthless and you keep the .75 credit. Obviously RIMM COULD fall back below $105 for the first time since pre earnings last week but they were REALLY good earnings and it's all about the likelihood of the failure.If we felt less strongly about the fact that $105 would be a firm floor for RIMM, we could also sell the $130s at $1.47 against the $135s for .85, netting another .58 and creating a condor. This lowers the total risk to $3.92 as both sides can't lose at once but it now gives us a way (albeit unlikely) to lose to the upside.
These spreads are a great way to make money but - just like being the house roulette, on any given spin you can lose big but, over the long haul, the odds are very much in your favor.

This response clearly demonstrates why you have no understanding of RIM's value proposition and continued discussion is fruitless. I'll no longer post responses to your dribble. By the way, I am a long term holder of both Apple and RIM and both will succeed in selling a ton of smartphones over the next few years. It will be interesting to see which stock performs better. Good luck. ReplyCould iPhone Become the Best Selling Smartphone on the Planet? [view article]

""Thomas Barta" WRONG!! The iPhone IS MADE IN CHINA! - Chinese Sweatshops to ACCURATE."OK-- maybe I was mistaken. No need to get nasty. My preference would be a ban on trade wit China until they get human rights and environmental standards, but, unfortunately, our Govt. doesn't see things that way. Reply
