Straight to the head

Dear Chad Elkim from North Carolina,

I would absolutely love to watch the PayPer view movies with you that you purchased on my credit card. I could bring the popcorn, you could bring the Raisinets. But unfortunately I don’t live in North Carolina. I don’t even live in South Carolina or anywhere on the East Coast. In fact, I live almost clear across country from you. So I appreciate the cordial invite, but I’d rather you stop pretending to be a 20 year old girl from California and refrain from making fraudulent charges on my cute puppy and kitten expressions credit card. Best of luck in your criminal lifestyle.

Love always,

Kristy

Identify theft sucks, man. I got to use my bluetooth headset this morning though. An overwhelming sense of power swarmed over me. I noticed myself involuntarily yelling at the women on the other end. I quickly apologized explaining I was afraid she couldn’t hear me, but I knew deep down inside it was because that headset gave me a false sense of authority like I neva eva had before. Dangerous device…

Speaking of headsets, Research in Motion headset sales fell this second quarter because of the tightening economy. Like, duh. By raising the general average price, they were able to lose less in sales in dollars.

Price shot up at the beginning of August, most likely due to an influx of law abiding customers buying headsets. Now that the initial wave of consumers have there bluetooths, combined with the weakening economy, sales have dropped for RIMM. You can see that even when sentiment fell, the price remained high telling me that perhaps consumers were undervaluing and feeling particularly pessimistic about Research in Motion. Recognizing this contrasting situation is helpful in timing opportunities. However, while Apple’s iPhone remains the tyrannic leader of smarthphones, RIM’s Blackberry remains the leader in enterprise and corporate market and is not to be overlooked. In a tempestuous market like today, long term investments may emerge as winners. Tried and true stocks with worldwide exposure, like RIMM, may be perfect for the defensive portfolio when the market is experiencing such roller coaster dips.

I predicted SIRI would close down today but so far price is up. Yikes! I’ll check back tomorrow to see what it closed at today…

Digg me!
