Saleem,

Hi Michael,

RIMM business model is under "severe pressure"..see analyst note today from Bernstein..his target about $40 US.

In this market you should stay with "strong stocks".....

Saleem,

Thanks for your input. It is unpredictable market, so one day a "strong stock" may be next day "weak stock." It is tough to invest. I have VMW at $79, FCX at $70, and BIDU at $78. However, I am looking for some bargain stocks to build my portfolio for a longer term.

Hi Michael,

Bargain stocks are differenr from weak stocks......

SOLF,SOL,TSL are bargain stocks..good fundamental excellent earnings BUT selling @ low PE....

Weak stocks are like RIMM,SNDK whose business model are shaky "going forward"

Good luck with your selection.
