" But, the stock is dirt cheap with $25 billion market cap with $2 billion in cash and $20 billion in revenues with a single digit PE."

What I would call a value trap.
Been there before and keep slapping myself silly every time I contemplate buying some Rimm shares. What is Rimm doing to grow their business? All I see is them milking the customer base that is used to their products and want or prefer a physical keyboard. That customer base isn't growing and unless they have a hit and competitive product to the iPhone and Androids, they will starting sliding down the other side of the growth curve. JMHO.
