Merry Christmas to all In around year 2000 Dot Com. First 2 stocks I bought were RIM 33 bucks and CIC (certicom) 43 bucks. Didn't know how to trade...did it over the phone at night time both at the same time together. Over the next few months CIC went to $180 bucks RIM went from $60 or so to $15 bucks. Front page news on the star called it dead. Well over the next year I sold RIM for like $80 plus and unfortunatley CIC for $33 bucks. My mortgage was due so I sold WIN for $82 bucks Paid of the mortgage. Still have the old paper trade for 29 bucks each. So the story goes they were saying to sell RIM when it went to 15bucks well you all know it split and SP just kept going up up up. So the old saying is short term Pain long term Gain. Power to the guys who can play it, wish you all the best. In the end I do think RIM will be able to sell phones and make money one thier new tiered applications. But unfortunatlely the longs will have to wait there turn. At some point the shorts will have to start to cover when some more positive news starts the ball rolling. The sooner the better. Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
