They are a bunch of accountants.
Did you actually read the article because I can't log-in, I don't have an account.
50% chance sounds like "I haven't a freakin clue but bashing RIM will draw attention to our firm" - free marketing
RIM's new phones are good, the Playbook is good, they need to market the products hard
RIM needs to put advertising in people's faces, they need to show-up everywhere.10-31-11 11:59 PM - If it weren't for accountants, you wouldn't understand the financial viability of RIM. It doesn't seem like you've done the research that they've done suggesting with your general comments indicating a lack of financial acumen. And no, they're just a bunch of accountants, but also financial professionals who have looked at management's judgement and decisions.They are a bunch of accountants.

On a second note, accountants have been a big part of the past customer base of BlackBerries. At one time, almost every accountant I knew had one.
FYI, Jim Balls is also a Fellow Chartered Accountant. RIM is also a Chartered Accountant Training Office. RIM should be able to take it as constructive criticism. Also, these are analysts and the market goes with what information is available. The lack of information and credibility, the core fundamentals, makes RIM a bad investment.Last edited by rcheung135; 11-01-11 at 12:58 AM.

Not sure who some members are referring to, but I personally cannot stand analysts. Period.
Whether for or against RIM, Apple, Andriod, etc.
No one can ever say they saw me applaud an analyst for ANY reports about ANY platform.
There are good and bad points about every platform.
However, I do see the obvious discontent some have with RIMs business model.
And, that makes it a dying platform in their eyes.
The "denial" that the company absolutely cannot succeed at all.
The end user gains nothing tangible from any of these reports by the so-called experts.
These reports are for steering ideas and money into the hands of the super rich.
People that the average consumer will never see except when they exit a limousine to enter a building.
Exactly! Very dangerous indeed! It's all speculation. For every platform.
Steering ideas and money to themselves and those they serve.
And, it seems that this analyst chose to be ambiguous with a 50/50 estimate which will assure he's on the right side when it all pans out ultimately. It can never be said he was wrong.
The average consumer doesn't care about analysts.
They just want a device that works for them. Whatever platform they choose.
That's all what I want for myself as well.11-01-11 03:14 AM - i don't put much credibility in Analyst reports or blogs....
If they were so bright or insightful they would be retired and on a ocean villa in Maui
They are usually off more than on ....and some are motivated by political or other agendas....
Take info from a variety of sources but make your own informed opinions ....11-01-11 03:41 AM - You sound like an Occupy Wall Street activist.^^THIS^^

You hit the nail: variety of sources. Analysts create an opinion that should not be taken in completely, but should be considered in making decisions.i don't put much credibility in Analyst reports or blogs....

11-01-11 03:47 AM - So here is the difference between Analyst, Shareholder and Entrepreneur explained Crackberry Style.
Subject Katiepea:
Wearing my Analyst Hat:
I would say that she has a 50% chance of getting banned. She may get banned and then again she may not get banned. The reason for this is that her posts are becoming increasingly rabid and irrelevant to the topic at hand and people are not reacting well.
Wearing my Shareholder Cap:
As a shareholder and user of the internet, I'm getting extremely angry that the nonsensical bytes Katiepea sends over the internet are adding up to the digital traffic and reducing value in terms of speed and quality while offering no substantial benefits in the form of considered opinions and intelligent conversations. Sell, Sell, Sell....which in this case would mean disconnect her internet connection.
Wearing my Entrepreneur's Hat:
Lastly wearing the Hat of a sane and intelligent individual who believes in building something, I recognize Katiepea's right to free speech and right to express herself.
I do not believe she should be banned or stopped from using the internet. As long as there are people who read what she writes, she is a welcome addition to the net.
All I should be concerned about is what I contribute, and not stop others from doing their thing.
And thats why RIM should be allowed to sell to the people who want to buy BB's.
Sorry Katie, couldn't resist...just having a bit off fun while explaining why Analysts are d*cks....
11-01-11 04:46 AM - CSB. You didn't explain **** about analysts and I sense the **** is yourself. RIM should continue selling to people who want to buy BB, as they become increasingly fewer and impatient with the long wait for something amazing.So here is the difference between Analyst, Shareholder and Entrepreneur explained Crackberry Style.
