BlackBerry (BB-T) is currently navigating a mixed landscape in the stock market, as reflected in recent reviews from experts. Many commend its transformation from a phone manufacturer to a software powerhouse focused on cybersecurity and automotive technologies, particularly its QNX operating system. However, concerns persist regarding its volatile nature and the sustainability of growth after years of negative returns on capital. While some analysts highlight promising recent performance and increased guidance, others caution against overvaluation and stress the need for more consistent growth. Despite its interesting technological offerings and potential for expansion within the automotive sector, the consensus remains cautious, urging a wait-and-see approach as the company's narrative evolves.

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.
HOLD
A highly competitive market. This company dominates business applications. Thinks it will be a survivor. On a very long view, it could do well. Well managed.
DON'T BUY
Sold put options against it. The earnings aren’t there, but he thinks they will be a survivor. Loves the company but it is a very competitive field right now.
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.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 11/10. Down 12.52%.)
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.
DON'T BUY
Facing a lot of headwind with its enterprise with a lot of big companies trying to save money by going to the iPhone.
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.
COMMENT
Their Torch is a much better device than the last one. Price competition is fierce. Feels stock has been oversold.
TOP PICK
(Top Pick Nov 30/09, Down 6.3%) Has liked it for a long time. Americans concluded they are going to continually loose market share. They will continue to grow. Generating cash and cash on the balance sheet. 8x earnings. Management has done a fantastic job all along. He likes the tech sector in general.
DON'T BUY
RIM is down because of AAPL and iPhones. Blackberry penetration has gone down and down. RIM is a ridiculously cheap stock. As an earnings guy, he stays away from it. He was selling puts at the bottom mid 2010. He got 4% as a premium. From an earnings point of view it is still questionable what will happen here.
WEAK BUY
He owns Nokia, which is similar in that it is a phone company, but Apple gets a much higher valuation than both and he didn’t need another name like Nokia. RIM is cheaper on a PE basis. Lack of diversification represents a risk in 10 years. Otherwise he would say this was a good investment.
