RE: Impact of C$ appreciationThe answer is no. But I think you mean the impact on their perpetual and maybe never ending losses.
Evreytime they would show the "change skit " On Saturday Night Live, people would laugh"
It basically went like this.
"I'm the change man. I can make any change you want. You give me 10 dollars I'll give you 2 fives. You give me a buck I will give you four quarters back "
To which a very astute observer noted "How do you make money "
The answer : Volume
Well Rim has taken this joke to a new level. For 350 dollars they will give you a product that costs them 450 dollars to make. The more they sell the more money they lose (check their financials) They could not make money when they had a monopoly imagine now. Listen suckers get out before you loose your shirt on this one. Lots of helium in the valuation.
