Smooth Sailing Ahead for Research In Motion

@F.J Taylor,I hold no position in RIMM nor AAPL...and I didn't say that Apple is going to lose money with the product it will still sell(why I do not know, but who is going to understand people)...but people with know-how in tech cant possibly buy it over RIMM...I have toyed around with both the AAPL products and RIMM products(with rimm products more I admit)...RIMM products are just far superior(not only I think that pick up any tech journal and compare IPHONE Grades to RIMM)...do not even get me started on the touch screen...so unpractical....Their was no comment made on my behalf which stock will do better whatsoever....I am just talking about the phone...

I am sure AAPL will make a decent profit with their phones no doubt.. and RIMM will continue to also experience profits as well....But with all the other businesses AAPL is involved in it is a much safer buy IMO as well....Especially due to RIMM's valuation....But I wasn't talking about stock prices or future trends of those stocks just the phone and it is just a fact that their is many superior phones on the, EUROPEAN, market than the I-Phone(but the I-Phone just like the I-Pod will probably establish itself as a lifestyle product....not because it is so good but because people move in herds)

With kind regards from Germany, aka my little barrel which I live under, where we don't understand anything of technology...I wish I was an American and could have such a complete understanding of not only technology...but also politics, energy policy, free market,(unless Belgiums try to buy your beer company..hah) etc., so if you could enlighten me all wise-one it would be very much appreciated;)CW

Smooth Sailing Ahead for Research In Motion

Are you kidding me...no offense but in the United States you guys only have rubbish phones(probably still playing with your razors) besides the blackberry....and the I-Phone is the biggest piece of rubbish out their...I really do not understand anybody who buys that horrible phone...

But in any case the I-Phone is more of a blessing since it gets the attention to smart phones...and anybody who has any common sense would pick a blackberry over an I-phone...So all in all I think the I phone helped RIMM more than it hurt...and the European market is still nothing for Apple since their is at least 10 phones out their who are far superior...AT LEAST...and all that talk about 3G give me a break...surely the I Phone will sell and make apple some money since it is a nice niche product....A nice lifestyle product but that is about it...

But in conclusion that phone is just rubbish and the 3G aspect of it hasn't changed that very much anybody looking for technical aspects in a phone would surely not buy an I-Phone...and the "new phone" release gave RIMM more time till next generation I Phone can actually pose some sort of threat...With kind regards from Germany CW

Apple, Walmart: Growth Stocks on the Move

New energy stocks are the way to go huge returns are too be made...the stocks are quiet volatile though so you better be prepared for some huge gains and drops...My favorties are solar stocks and one wind stock...

Biggest player(solar) in the US is SPWR and in China STP....While the biggest overall player in the world is Q Cells which is not traded in the US it is a german company with a JV with ESLR an american based firm(Mass.)..I personally do not like ESLR though they grow way to slowly and unprofitable if you want to look at a small solar...

Take a look at CSIQ a Canadian based firm with Chinese background this company is quiet small and look at their growth rates they are trading at a forward P/E of 11...which is just absurd that stock will be in near future trading at 30(at least)..another intresting fact concerning CSIQ is that the forecast doesn't include the new panels which go into production in Q3...for more information concerning CSIQ you might want to do some more research yourself...the conference call last quarter was quiet interesting...

For wind i like Nordex also a German firm...which did not have that good of a year so far due to some delays in projects but the books are full...so worth taking a look

In summary, Renewables are the way to go...i jumped on the train a couple years ago due to the fact that the markets for renewables is only going to expand greatly it is in an infant stage so their is still a few risks but opportunities outweigh these risks vastly...So far most companies just make their money predominatly in Spain and Germany...With a bit to be made Greece, Italy, USA, Asia, Australia...But those are still such small markets...Once the tax credit extension comes in the US that market will grow faster as well and other markets will become bigger as well next year...Furthermore if a democrat wins you better have some green stocks in your portfolio or you are missing outon great returns...Their is still a lot of catching up to do in the US...the Green Wave will reach your continent as well:)

With Kind Regards from Germany,

Dicki
