The Research In Motion Forensic Valuation and Analysis is Released to the Public

Now that Research in Motion has reached our valuation target and
offered the opportunity for material gain for our subscribers, I have
decided to released the full 45 page professional Forensic Valuation
report to the public. It is quite extensive, and has been quite accurate
to date…

And from the valuation section of our Forensic Report (those who have downloaded it can refer to page 30)…

As you can see, we did a phenomenal job at anticipating the share
price fall and the practical floor. Those of you who used options and/or
leverage with proper risk management should have benefited handsomely.
Of course, this particularly industry segment moves much more rapidly
than most, which is why we have taken the opportunity to add flexibility
in our valuations and analysis (page 32)…

As is usual, I welcome any and all to compare BoomBustBlog research
to anything available from the sell side. I am confident many will wish to subscribe
after an apples to apples comparison. This report release to the public
is done in anticipation of the much more comprehensive, 65 page Google
Forensic Valuation (hopefully by later on today or tomorrow morning) and
the upcoming Apple Forensic Valuation. Please keep in mind that the
Research in Motion story is not over, by a long shot. It looks as if
they may have pulled a much needed rabbit out of their hat with their
new tablet, but at this point it is still vaporware from our perspective
since I have yet to get my hands on one. If it is what it is chocked up
to be, it will then be up to management to execute. Their track record
over their last 3 attempts at larger screen form factors have been
wanting, at best, but maybe the fourth time around is a charm.

Professional subscribers should take advantage of the interactive
valuation tools that I have made available to adjust the assumptions in
the valuation model to keep abreast of the RIM situation (see file icon RIMM Multivariate Valuation Model).
We have not updated the assumptions since before the earnings
announcement, so there is some fine tuning to be done regarding the
valuation report, but the gist of the story remains the same, and the
report’s premise remains quite valid. I recommend all paying subscribers
use the market share tools to assist in fine tuning their assumptions
moving forward. This is a rapidly changing landscape, and what was once
the underdog may become the champion – seemingly overnight. I,
personally, am still quite skeptical of RIM management’s ability to
execute in this environment, but I am keeping my eyes open.
