YES! This is what I've been saying for over a year! Two quarters ago, I said that it would run through another eight quarters of bloodletting, and then $ORCL would pick them up -- so only six more quarters to go! Reasons for an $ORCL buy: especially after another year and a half of hemorrhaging, the only customers that $RIMM will have left are those who can't physically move because their dependencies on the platform are inextricable. Like a marine apex predator, $ORCL can sense this kind of blood in the water from an ocean away -- customers that can't move are ripe for the kind of price increase that only an experienced monopolist has the temerity to mete out!
- josteink 14y agoso only six more quarters to go Given the current trends, taking into account that BB10 has been delayed yet again, and extrapolating that into even more obsolete phones which will sell even worse than they do now, it will be a miracle if RIM is not bankrupt within that timeframe. Just look at the numbers. They can't afford to keep bleeding like they do now for that long. And they certainly can't afford the increased bleeding the lack of BB10 will cost them. Six quarters is way too late. If noone has bought RIM within four, there will be no saving them.
