Hey Op, are you interested in some beach front property in N. Dakota? Rimm stock has been toast since the beginning of this year. My advice is read books on the market and diff investment strategies.

| |  Risky but...
It's not like a small investor like the OP will lose much. And with the release of the 9900 on AT&T and BBM Music, the share value should at worst stabilize. I'm no market analyst but I am usually right in my predictions. I predict RIM will fall a tiny bit further and then climb nominally in the near term with a temporary spike when they actually release the BBX/QNX products and/or OS2 Playbooks. However, I would guess that BlackBerry dominance of the market is completely over and won't be coming back without major innovation-which would require a change of leadership.

Well, I thing this is an ego thing. Being #1 is not necessarily the best place in a world crisis environment. RIM became famous by its tightened relations with enterprises, when texting then emails or BBM where in their birthday suits. Then, the keyboard made the difference and everyday users came to its devices.
When they were #1 the market was what ... 20% of what it is today ? And they did take money ... a lot of money. Why ? Because they did rely on high margin products: services, and had a captive audience as their hardware was mandatory.
In short, I think RIM can be a high profitable company if they go companies but have to make a breathless effort to gain mass market.
Just hope they target well; and how I feel it makes me believe they do.
Edit: just rewind the history of IBM ...

I've balanced out recently to bring my average cost down. I don't plan to be selling out till 2013 anyway at which time, I'll either be really happy, or be out a few thousand dollars, I've saved the few thousand in data costs over the years, so I'll call it even.

I would cut the OP some slack though since English is not his first language. However, those lilly-white boys in middle-America/Canada have no excuse. For X-sakes....its only a four-letter word...how can you get that wrong.
....back on topic....

....back on topic.... |  they are from Mid America, they Spell Colour, Honour, favourite, and pronounce the last letter of the Alphabet wrong, it's not surprising that often they miss spell Lose, or its or their or effect.
hehehe

Roger Ebert wrote that his late partner Gene Siskel gave him the best investment advice he had ever received. “You can never outsmart the market, if that's what you're trying to do,” Siskel told him. “Find something you love, for reasons you understand, that not everyone agrees with you about, and put your money in it.”
