i wish RIMM would give AAPL or others the bbm rights...or the simplified version...i dont liek BB...but...its so convenient with freinds...blaaaaaaaaaaaa.
It all dissects to the following question... would you rather carry an iPhone (or android) or a bberry? Make a comparisim and get back to us.
RIMM needs to start spreading the wealth, via dividends. Otherwise, the Greater Fool Theory applies. Obama the socialist is making things very difficult. You're paranoid. I don't own a single Apple product, never have. And I am not missing anything. Under Obama, the rich got poor, the poor got poorer, and the blacks are worse off, more dependent, dumber, and more violent than ever. Obama and the left are proving that socialism doesn't work. Before Obama, the rest of the world hates US because we are the world's most powerful and successful nation.
You would be taken a bit more seriously if you weren't borderline illiterate (comparisim). Who wants RIMM to fail? It's a cautionary tale that can be traded. 20% hit for the week. I'd like to know what monopoly power Apple holds. I can buy a lot of different handsets and listen to a Sansa, Zune or Cowon media player. Download tunes from spotify or buy from beatport... I can run linux on any machine. MSFT, however, is a de facto monopoly. T (in certain markets) is a monopoly. Comcast if you're in a large metro with no access to a satellite. Local utilities, etc... Your knowledge of the markets is only exceeded by your mellifluous grammar.
I currently carry a BB because IB has iTWS for BB before they made it for the iphone, however since that has changed, has anyone using iTWS on an iPhone feel it's better or worse? And security on the iPhone side vs RIMMs BB security measures?
I think it's one of several companies that we've grown fond of over the last generation of technology, as we've all grown with it... but my gut feeling is that it's one of the companies that is going to see increasing turmoil over the next 1-3 years, and shareholders are going to be taken for a ride. Ultimately it's too much of a gamble IMO to hold.... but I'm looking forward to watching its movement.
Wang built up his company on a tremendous debt load. RIMM has no debt. This being a trading forum, it would be nice at some point if some proper research occurred.
