RE: ROI AND RIM AS TECH STARTUPSFrom what I can see on the charts. Rim started out at about 1.51 in oct 97 a year later down to .89 then slowly climbed to 33.00 in FEB 2000 down to 8.00 3 months later up to 25.00 around Oct 2000 slowly back down to around 2.50 2 years later took about 4 years to get up to 35 ish Oct 2004 then up to a measly 117 around Oct 2007 This is as close as I can see with the charts. Hope it helps.
