BUY:RIMM

RIMM (Research in Motion Ltd.) reported it’s earning last week on Thursday December 15, 2011  and as I mentioned in one of my previous posts cheap can become cheaper. I am sure with most of my viewers who saw the  TITLE ‘BUY:RIMM’ they would be licking their lips and waiting for the markets to open on Monday and buy a lot more of RIMM shares cause  it’s trading at stupid cheap valuations or if they already hold it , they would want to buy more and average down.

I am sorry to disappoint you guys, in my opinion, RIMM at these prices is in my

‘GARBAGE’  stocks list or should i say ‘ DO NOT TOUCH’ list. Let me break it down for you.

Fundamentals:

1. Product Delays: RIMM over the past few years has suffered most in terms of product delays than any other tech name out there, and surprise surprise, they have announced that their new set of blackberry phones will not hit the market until late 2012 as compared to early 2012 as per their previous announcements.

2. Market Share: In US , RIMM in the smartphone business had a market share of 9% in third quarter of 2011 , down from 24% in 2010.

3. Net Income: $265 million in in Q3 2011 as compared to $911 in Q3 2010.

4. Tehnical Issues: RIMM which is proud of its BBM service, had an outage for almost 2 days.  A lot of users who were debating about whether to switch to Android or iphones couldn’t have found a better reason to switch.

Techinals:

I have attached a daily and a weekly chart, show it to any 2 year old and ask them what do you see in these two charts, a simple answer would be ‘it’s going down’. 52 week low every week tells me something that nobody wants to buy it and sellers are looking at every opportunity they can find to sell it at every up move they see in RIMM.

CONCLUSION:

I am not recommending to short RIMM or buy RIMM. As an investor, I would recommend that there are a lot of other good names out there with good growth stories and future growth outlook that you can be in, rather than buying a stock which you might be stuck in.  Hence, it’s in my ‘GARBAGE’ list stocks for now, cause I don’t see a good risk-reward ratio.
