Chris Lau's Wall

Hi Chris, regards $RIMM , I was with some of their product guys from EMEA last week & am quietly impressed with what they have in the pipe, both for enterprise & consumer on BB10.
They also have some very interesting propositions for legacy BB7,6,5, which will be good news for them in emerging markets, with a clear migration/upgrade path to BB10 running alongside.
If they can convince carriers that they have a common enemy in the iOS/Android debate, they will be off to a flyer.
The carrier that I am consulting for at the moment (CEE 14M subs) is very much of this mindset & I can see it becoming a more appealing offering.
Also, the fact that Greenlight Capital picked up a tranche of stock in December - $3M @ 14.40 , I think that the time is right to start accumulating under the $15 tag.
Have added another 500 shares to my irl portfolio this week.
I happen to think Chris is doing a wonderful job. We'll see how you do.

  • No problem bro. Keep up the good work.

  • P.S. $CHK is guaranteed to move much higher this year.

  • why do you say that? i've been following $CHK . Nat gas prices are unsustainably low. CHK is shedding assets just to reduce losses but shares are up because of this.

  • It's still the second largest producer of natural gas in America.

    As you said, natural gas is priced too low and will have to rebound. Demand will continue to grow and supplies aren't increasing that much.

    I should note that natural gas futures averaged $4.09 between 1990 and 2012. $CHK is well positioned to capitalize on the turnaround.

  • However, I should note that it'll take time for natural gas to rebound.

    In other words, $CHK should be "held" for the long term.

May i ask why you do not take out a loan from a bank or even some form of loan shark, Wonga.com for example and use that money you have borrowed to make some real dam money if your so good at this "game". I haven't even begun investing in shares but I have still seen your name attempting to patronise people worldwide. Enter the real world
who the hell do you think you are ? stop telling people what to do you only have 12.21M, you arnt that good at this game
try to make some money !

  • ....chill down Will only 21,2% for one year is good little n00b :-D
    2012-02-18 10:25:00
  • LOL Will. I could be up 10,000% but it doesn't mean anything. The return is not risk-adjusted.

Hey what's your though on $ALU how far up do you think it'll go?
  • I think $ALU is a good turnaround story. No target price yet at this time.

  • Thanks Chris, (Used to losing money with my stocks) So I'm not sure what to do when they are positive.
    2012-02-16 02:41:30
  • most of the time my real world trades start off losing money.

you may be interested to read this $RIMM

personally I agree, have some insiders in RIM UK that have intimated that there is a lot of consumer facing propositions being rolled out from Q2 onwards. May open a long position in my real life portfolio
Chris Lau
  • Good story. $RIMM has a strong market share in Britain and indonesia, but markets here are focused on market share loss in the US and the BB7 weakness. BB10 is late.

    Positives: OS2 playbook is coming out on the 17. Fusion OS is out in march (server software).

    I got a BB7 Torch yesterday. It's quite good.

    Talk to $AAPL user. any one. They hardly use iMessage and their network there is very small.

You don't think $NFLX is going to turn around?
  • it already has. Consumer defection declined.

  • Investment move: $ZNGA's fundamentally flawed.

one to have a think about for you ... $FFD , I happen to own this in my RL portfolio having bought in in mid November, have a feeling it will rock a little more ... Qatar is a major area of interest due to LNG industry
Chris Lau
  • Thanks Pavel. I follow LNG closely. There's a major shift going on there but which will play out over several years, not several months.
