    As I’m sure most of you know Research in Motion (RIMM) has been getting hammered the past couple of days.

    With the stock at $25.89 currently do you think it’s a good time to go long or short? I’ve read arguments for/against and it’s tough to call. On one hand they are going downhill fast and have almost no chance against Apple and Google for at least the next year or so. On the other, they have zero debt and 4 billion in cash and it’s hard to imagine it getting much worse.

    I shorted it at $39…

    Imho.. RIMM is dead… Yes, they might be able to hold onto their business customer base. BUT, they clearly are not going to be a smartphone leader unless they have a major architecture overhaul.

    Apple didn’t kill rimm and nokia alone…A lot of the damage done was from Android….

    I agree.

    Even the government is moving to iPhone and Android now.

    Businesses are getting a lot of pressure from the employees who want non-blackberry smart phones.

    I must be a dinosaur as I love my Blackberry. Its not a toy but it a very effective communication enabler. Better than an iPhone or Android phone for what I do. I am all about function over form.
