I have never seen a thread that has been so accurate for so many days "Rimm hit a 52 week low today"

If ever a thread should be sticky, this is the one.

Ouch, broke right through $13 to close at $12.89. Boom.

Next few days will be rough, RIM will be sold to offset gains in the rest of the portfolio as 12/31 nears.

Volume wasn't even high today...

This post reminds me of the movie Groundhog Day.

This made me laugh, love the creativity.

On topic - what phones are you guys going to use when RIM is gone?

If I had no choice because RIM shut down, Android would be my first choice followed by Windows. I would not consider a Apple product.

Nokia

They have the next best keyboard on the market

[kevinnugent]

Yeah, Nokia's the best hardware wise. Software? Maybe if they keep Meego. Dunno about a Windows powered Nokia phone.

[rdkempt]

I loved my Nokia E61, bought it as soon as it was available... I'm actually really hyped to see some Windows 8 phones whenever they drop. I've used an iPhone for a year now or so, it works great but have been looking to replace it; I hate having it associated to Macs or Apple zealotry. To think that someone may think I'm an "Apple Guy" would bother me. Lol.

Just hoping Microsoft can develop a devoted developer army for their mobile platform.

That's what i've been saying, but it dropped even quicker than i anticipated. The longer that those two clowns remain in charge, the more that the stock will drop. If they stay on through 2012, there won't be a RIM as you know it, in 2013.

If you have a problem with zealotry, you're in the wrong place.

Windows Phone 7

Probably the closest thing to meet my needs. Tried the Apple iPhone and didn't like it. Maybe Android, but not a fan of the feedback I keep hearing...

[app_Developer]

Windows Phone 7

Well, nothing like going from one (possibly) dying platform to one that never even got off the ground! Contrarian, much?

Thinking about this today, it feels more and more like a two horse race for at least the next several years. Fortunately both are pretty strong platforms, each in their own way. Team Android (4-5 big companies) and Apple.

[mustangv8]

Just remember tax loss selling to get on record for 2011. Another wave of sells coming.

Remember in June when rim announced that the board would study the effectiveness of the dual CEO structure and make a determination by January?

It appears this was another smokescreen. The board is a useless rubber stamping entity for the geniuses running the company into the ground. I bet they are hedged heavily with options.

[DaedalusIcarusHelios]

I haven't yet lost hope. My Torch 9850 is a great phone, I enjoy and use my PB daily, and OS2 is right around the corner.

I hope OS2 really knocks it out of the park, and shows what BB10 will be capable of. I'm excited for that and BlackBerry Mobile Fusion.

Regarding the BB10 phones not coming until late next year, I honestly expected that. Having waited for BB7 phones forever, I knew BB10 wouldn't be out early next year. Especially if there is carrier certification involved, plus the inability for RIM to hit a target date.

RIM needs to have a chance to get these BB10 phones out. If they fail, then so be it. But they really need to be given the opportunity to.

If I had to choose another, it'd probably be Android. Definitely not an iPhone, can't stand them for normal functions (some great apps/games, but those are secondary functions)

[Economist101]

No no no. They said they'd study the duel CEO structure, and they are still planning on a January 31, 2012 battle between Mike and Jim. Place your bets.

Ugh. Stock continues to slide. At this rate, RIM won't be around next month.

[Rootbrian]

The stocks slide and climb all the time. RIM will be around for a long long time.

[loneweasel]

nearly 20% drop since earnings call.

IN THREE DAYS.

[Doc Z]

I highly doubt that. That's too much optimism and blind faith. The evidence for it just isn't there.

[avt123]

RIMs stock has been going down since the earnings call.

[palmless]

RIMM hit a 52 week low today (should this be a signature line?).

$12.52 right now, down 2.87%.

Noticed something... market cap of RIMM is $6.57B. Apple has 929M shares outstanding, went up $12.18 per share, $11.3B.

Apple went up more than enough today to buy RIMM with ALMOST enough left over to buy Sprint. From just today's increase.

Puts things in perspective, I think...

[Rudee66]

I'm calling for sub $10 by end of Jan.

[1812dave]

what does it take to get delisted from the market? is there a set value that triggers that?

Maybe $1 or something like that?
