I support RIM : I buy shares !

Superfly_FR · Thread Author #1 11-02-2011, 09:21 AM

Call me a dreamer, a fanatic, a fool or whatever, I'm just buying some RIM shares right now.
While I think it can't really hurt me and I may have a delicious surprise in,say, 5 years, I'm not doing this in a speculative vision, just a support action. As my savings are low, I'll not spend a lot, so maybe I'll buy only 5.

How many of us (and friends) can afford this ? I don't know ...
But if we actively buzz this, it may ... oh, yes, I'm a dreamer...

But just imagine 10% of BB users claiming five shares ...

P.S: Yes, I'm a part of the 99% : I have no other share anywhere.

Disclaimer : buying shares is a high risk action that must not be done unless the money you engage is under 5% of your personal liquid assets. By no mean I intend to forecast a raise of the shares or any kind of advantage. Be aware that You can lose everything and I won't be responsible for this in any circumstance. (if any jurist is around, please PM me if this disclaimer is a fail !)

Good luck. High risk, but potentially REALLY high returns.

Is that you Bernie Madoff? I thought you were still in jail.

Buy RIM shares? You kidding right? Haven't you seen how fast they are dropping? Would you like to lose money? I think not.

I think RIM's future is bright.

Like Warren Buffet says "Buy when people are fearful and sell when people are greedy".
I think he has done well.

However, I'm not sure I could endorse this type of suggestion by the OP. I support RIM and love their products (especially the OS7 phones and the Playbook) but people need to review their investment objectives before they invest.

I have a few shares of RIM and feel pretty confident they will go over fifty in the next twelve months as a result of valuation and succesful OS7 launches around the world not being recognized by an amazingly negative media. Further, if RIM does surprise everyone and produce a BB-X phone that is as good as it could be, then the stock could go to a hundred again.

However, I'm not sure people should buy shares because of a post on the CrackBerry website. It is not the optimal source. People should consult their financial advisor if they have one or do some research themselves. ValueLine is a popular paid service that Warren Buffett himself has praised. Maybe start there.

A gambler, I am not. Have fun with your money (pit).

Support RIM by buying its products and using its services. Don't 'support' RIM by investing in them. Keep your head separate from your heart.

I see countless posts about RIMM on this forum, and can't help but wonder how young, foolish, and ignorant many of you are with your investing ways.

Maybe 5 years ago I would have invested, but not now. Overseas is doing well though. Maybe next year after QNX gets up and running .....maybe

My pet peeve #1: people unable to spell "lose" properly!

Thanks for your "answers" and "good luck".
Please note (again) this is not an "investment" ... and we're taking about 20 boxes a share.

And, "en vrac" (LIFO):
- hopefully I didn't invest 5 years ago, anyway didn't even consider investing at this time (or ever)
- I'm not young (45) nor foolish and if you want to talk about riding ... well maybe we can discuss a little.
- Gambling, well, I presume I have about 2K more chance than with a lottery to get my investment back
- People should sometimes read Buffet, thanks for this one
- An Uncle of mine was surnamed "Bernie", but he wasn't Mad off (lol)

I flunked my first semester of French, in 9th grade. Happy?

that was my first-ever F and was never repeated, in HS...

There are far too many native English speakers who insist on misspelling "lose". The same holds true for "advise/advice". It makes me think that the generations behind me aren't getting a proper education. Certainly there are posters who have completed college and STILL can't use those words properly. It's not like it's a typo--they spell it incorrectly due to not having been taught well.
