I am convicted...

  1. Can't say I know very much about RIMM as a company. Other than the fact that I think the smartphone market is big enough for both of them, for now at least. assuming apple sells 20 million new iphones by december, with a $200 subsidy and 35% profit margin thats around 2.75 billion in revenue, unless i screwed that calculation up, which is always a possibility. I just dont see how anyone can be bearish on apple right now, i mean at the very least its a hold.

  4. From the thread title, I honestly thought this thread was going to be some guy writing from the shared computer in a low security prison, asking if anyone knew how he could trade while he was doing his 5-10 years.

    Perhaps english is a second language for the OP, and it appears he actually meant "convinced".....

  5. Thats kinda funny. I am/was using the word as a differing tense of the word "conviction", which could of course mean "a declaration of guilt", but i was using it along the lines of "a certainty, assurance, or strong confidence in"...we all must strive to look past the very first definition of a word :p

  6. Convinced would have probably been a better word.

  7. True...if you had said "I have a conviction....", that could have meant more than one thing.

    But to say "I am convicted...." only means one thing.

    Sorry, but you'd better layoff the stock picking and get back to finishing your high school equivalency test. :p

    Ummm, which definition are you using?

    v.tr.
    1. Law To find or prove (someone) guilty of an offense or crime, especially by the verdict of a court: The jury convicted the defendant of manslaughter.
    2. To show or declare to be blameworthy; condemn: His remarks convicted him of a lack of sensitivity.
    3. To make aware of one's sinfulness or guilt.
    v.intr.

  9. wow guys really?

    I'm sorry, Instead of saying "I'm convicted" I should have said "I have a conviction".

    Now you have made this thread about grammar instead of stocks.

    One of two things happened:

    A. You knew what I meant, because lets face it, it's a technicality, but you still decided to flame my grammar. In this case your are truly an asswipe that really has no business posting on a forum that is intended to be informational. I'm sure you can search for another forum, try googling "how to be an asshole", or "The art of being a bitch". You will no doubt find a respected position in either of those online communities.

    B. You actually couldn't make the connection between "convicted" and "conviction". In this case you really have no room to make fun of MY grammar.


    Anyways............aapl was up another 2% today. September earnings might be something spectacular.
