RIM IN PL:AY

RIM IN PL:AY

Three  months ago  everyone was writing off    Nokia also.  It has had a nice bounce off the bottom. People fail to forget that   RIM  has dedicated   billions to  the   new operating system  PRIOR to   its current  demise.  Analysts then say   RIM will  not be able to deliver with its reduced head count. Its almost as if they are trying to negate all the contributions of the personnel who worked on this prior to the pink  slips. This is   how  analysts  spread misinformation to a  bewildered public.

 

The fact remains  that within  a week we had rumours of  Samsung  and   now a new  IBM proposal on the table. Whose next? Miscrosoft,   Apple,    Amazon,  Facebook,    sovereign wealth fund????   Love then or loathe them  black  berry is a  broken  but not a busted brand. It has  dominant share in the emerging   markets.     Moreover   new CEO  Tim Cook   has not impressed the street with two misses in a row.  Alot of people  are saying  Appl'es designs for all of its  products all  look the same.  There have  been  hackers in the cloud  as well.   Finally,   there are numerous allegations that at the  FOXConn   plant in China readily employs child labour.. I  am not here to confirm or deny,  but these  "inklings  "  are  like catnip  for top notch     investigative reporters.    America  likes a  winner but they do not like smugness   and  right now  Apple  looks smug to alot of people,   VPO included.

So  you have the makings of a perfect   storm, Apple priced for perfection  but showing  dents in the armour  and  Black    Berry  now being the underdog   that everyone wants to cheer for.   The long and short of this is  that  RIM  is a coveted asset to  any potential  acquirer   . I am of the opinion  the Company  will  get through 6 more   measly months before its  new operating system  wows  the world.  It does not   have to  ignite sales records,  only   to reverse  the trend.  For the tiny  David   to  do that against the    Apple  Goliath   will  command  respect  in the market place that RIM is   back.   And  the new American  president  will   be Mitt Romney,  the  poster child for   corporate bluebloods. This is enough for all   people to  dislike the in your face Apple brand  to the emerging markets.   Romney  has made a career  of China bashing  and  this arrogant   goat of a man  is the best  thing to temper   and cool the  adulation of American brands.

 

Greed is good.   And  when  the greedy people  sell APPLE  because it is trading sideways  and  RIM   is taking off, well u can   connect the  dots.    The  hedge funds that are raising targets  on Apple are dumping it   and  buying  RIM    while it is still cheap.  Cook continues to stumble and   RIM  rights the ship and we have a  defining  moment.   Its underway  folks,   second inning  starts next week.
