BUY
Expects earnings to go from $6.18 to $6.89, 11% growth into Feb/12. New Playbook will be significant for them as it introduces 1) new operating system and 2) ability to run on duo processors. Expect that platform will end up in handsets this coming summer. May be 5 million orders right out of the gate from corporations.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 9/09. Down 8.76%.) Has continued to meet all expectations in terms of earnings growth and market share. Extremely miss priced. Still growing at 25% a year but only trading at 9X earnings.

TOP PICK
Thinks the Playbook is going to work. Will be one of the 3 or 4 players surviving the smart phone market. Expect they will do way better than people are expecting. Trading at under 10X earnings.

HOLD
Has been in the news recently when one a former Canadian based analyst went into the US and gave a glowing report. RIM is yesterday’s technology and is playing catch up with Apple (AAPL-Q). PlayBook looks really interesting but not sure how much a 7” screen is going to entice people to make the switch. If you own, hold until the release of the PlayBook but be very tight with your Stops.

BUY
As a value investor and between RIM (RIM-T) and Apple (AAPL-Q) her preference is Rim. Apple has done incredibly well but trades at a much higher multiple. Positive on the smart phone market overall. Rim faces more competition in North America but sees very good opportunity internationally. Trading at 8.5 X forward earnings. Torch should do well and coming out with the Playbook next year.

WEAK BUY
Not been positive on this because Cdn tech stocks historically have not had staying power. In the last couple of months they’ve turned it around and looks like the new playbook is getting some traction. Technically it doesn’t look great but could turn around. Very cheapo. Cautiously optimistic.

TOP PICK
To some extent being cut out once again by stories of other companies, especially Apple (AAPL-Q). Thought there was a signal of fear when Steve Jobs mentioned them in his conference. Inexpensive.

WATCH
Above 50 day moving average but below 200.Trading at a forward PE of a little over 8X, which is cheap considering its growth profile. Playbook is coming out and Sun Life is already committed to buying 1,000 for its employees. Playbook could create some catalysts. Torch is doing well.

TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 9/09. Down 12.41%.)At 8X or 9X next year’s earnings is priced as though it’s going out of business. Playbook will be for sale in the 1st quarter of next year.

COMMENT
Has been acting much better lately. Came out with more news on their Playbook with more competitive pricing. (Only works if you have a Blackberry.) Thinks it will do very well.
