Shareholder Meeting- What news will be announced?
- Thought this might be a fun question. The shareholder meeting is only days away, what kind of news do you think will come out of the meeting?
I have the feeling that release dates for the new lines of smartphones will be announced.
Wish I had a passport so I could attend.07-09-11 04:03 PMLike 0 - 07-09-11 05:57 PMLike 0
- Surprised that y'all don't think anything will come out of the meeting. Figured with all the bad press they would release some kind of news to temper the mood of the meeting. If they didn't, figured it would make the meeting a little more hostile.07-09-11 06:06 PMLike 0
- I don't think it will change at this point, they have gotten crapped on every day for quite awhile and that hasn't changed the status quo at RIM.07-09-11 07:45 PMLike 0

It wouldn't have to be anounced at the meeting, just the day of and they could refer to it in the meeting. Any sooner would give the nay sayers time to research and attach the new phones.
Just my guess on how I would handle the tactics of the meeting.07-10-11 02:24 PMLike 0 - I kind of agree. If I were them and facing some hostile shareholders I would announce some new phones and release dates. I think it would, if nothing else, put the most hostile off balance.

- There's no benefit to releasing dates until they are about a week away from sale, it would kill sales of current devices. Can you imagine salespeople selling a current 9780 or Torch if they knew the new oness were coming in three weeks? I know I couldn't do it with a good conscience.
Heck, I know someone who just bought a new Torch...I didn't know she was buying or would have told her to wait!07-10-11 07:44 PMLike 0 - While for another company I would agree and logic would say give up a little something something to get investors off your back, but Mike and Jim seem to want to defy logic for quite some time now. I think they'll spew their normal incoherent mumbo jumbo of buzzword bingo and everyone will be like "WTF did they say"?07-10-11 07:53 PMLike 0
- The shareholders don't elect the CEO. The board of directors does. If the shareholders want change, they need to run a slate of directors that will change things, not gripe about the hired help. If they don't elect a new board, things will continue to cautiously evolve. Is that really such a bad thing?

- I went a researched the last 5 year's for RIM's July meeting and they haven't announced anything in those year's, but with the ridiculous trending downward reputation in the media and among carriers and consumers, hopefully they will give us something this year.07-11-11 01:23 PMLike 0
- with this information I figure that RIM will just go with the numbers, and go with a normal shareholders meeting, they will prolly want to look like nothing is wrong... i dont see them posting a release date for the upcoming devices, and i think they will annouce the as of yet announced devices just days before they hit carriers...07-11-11 01:52 PMLike 0
