More Muddled Thinking From BlackBerry Management
This morning, shares of Research In Motion(RIMM) are up because investors think management waved the white flag and want to sell the company to the first bidder.
Therefore, bid up the shares now, before the acquisition premium gets put in. Well, more on the potential for a RIM buyer in a later post.
I want to give people pause before jumping in to RIM shares here.
The new management – under CEO Thorsten Heins – still suffers from Balsillie-like muddled thinking.

Likely Buyers for RIM? Amazon and Microsoft/Nokia
RIM (RIMM) now has the fear of the God in them it seems.
That’s good, although they’ve still got a tough road ahead of them — especially with a lot of their leadership walking out the door.
What’s juiced the stock this morning is that investors think there’s a glimmer of hope the board might consider a full buyout of the Canadian company.

BNN Video: Is Apple a $1,600 stock?
Apple Inc. (AAPL-Q 617.78 3.3 0.54%) shares hit a new high Tuesday, briefly reaching $614.91 US during morning trading. Apple shares have already gained more than 51 percent this year, but Eric Jackson, founder and managing partner of Ironfire Capital, sees the maker of the iPhone, iPad and other i-related products hitting $1,650 a share by 2015.
Jackson tells BNN Apple is poised to grab a huge share of business in emerging markets.
"They are playing in markets that are going to be massive in three to five years," Jackson says. "The wave is just starting that they are going to be capitalizing on."
Jackson says the iPhone will remain Apple's cash cow. He projects emerging markets like India will power a six-fold surge in sales over the next few years.
