RE: RIM price move Although this company has a superior product in the marketplace (security wise), it's more likely they will be bought out long before their new phones are even launched. The stock market is very unforgiving, and punishes the share price of companies who fail to execute, and miss on earnings or projections. It seems to me its pretty likely the recent spike in price has been driven by vultures (Bankers or Brokerage firms) circling the carcass and scooping up shares at rock bottom prices. Although there are no shortage of "cheerleaders" for RIM products, the reality is..... given RIM's low market cap, that its just a matter of time before they are gobbled up by corporate backed paper, and the RIM share structure vanishes forever.
That's the sad reality with a "public company"...in our paper society...The biggest losers will likely be the back room workers who all built RIM over the years...with the corporate fat cats all making out like bandits with a healthy corporate severance package....what will eventually happen to the Blackberry product in the end is anyones guess.... RIM is currently trading @ $8.72, but less than 4 years ago was trading north of $130.00 you can be assured, things have now changed forever, and the company is very likely a takeover target...and nobody can remove the target off the companies back, no matter how good their product is......or will be......That's very sad, considering they were once the undisputed darlings of the Canadian tech space.
