Could be that some investors have invested in IPO Sierra Wireless, due out possibly next week..( priced at $14.50; 4.5 million shares; owned 47.10% by PMC-Sierra [PMCS-Nasdaq]. Some investors sell on news (good earnings);.. this is just temporary .. IMO. RIM has ramped-up production, to meet the high demand from brokerage-houses, etc. Ron

Imram - remember that last quarter did not reflect sales of Blackberry; next and subsequent quarters should show good earnings growth. Also this stock trades at a high P/E and people want to see results on the bottom line eventually. Finally, this stock moves in a highly segmented market, and I think there is some doubt about whether the market will go to augmented phone wireless devices, pager-like devices, or computer-like devices, like Palm Pilot, etc. RIM will make money in its segment, but nobody realistically expects it to take over the wireless device market. FWIW. Regards, JK
