TMF does tend to sensationalize things. If anyone is in RIMM for the long haul, they ought to do all right. And after all, isn't TMF always the "buy and hold" advocates? Seems they are changing their investment thesis....along with trying to sell services. Hey, I am all for options trading, do it myself. But we have enough fear going on. Time to think positive!

Thanks for all of the comments and votes. This series names several stocks that are scary for a variety reasons. The polls at the end of each article allow the community to chime in with a vote. Just because one writer thinks RIMM is scary, does not mean that other Fools do. Currently the RIMM poll shows that the community does not think RIMM is ... Read Morescary. And hey, that's okay. We love to debate about stocks, and often disagree with each other (thus the Motley part of our name.) But let's not forget the other stocks in the series that our community does find scary. So, no, we're not changing our investment thesis, and this series isn't meant to sell services. It's meant to call out companies that some Fools don't think are great investments for the long-term. It's up to you -- as the community -- to debate us and vote in the polls. Thanks and Fool on!

The Motley Fool Companies, beware. You do not want Nell Minnow slashing your balance sheets. Co-founder of The Corporate Library and dubbed as the "CEO Killer", Nell stopped by FoolHQ yesterday. Among things that creep her out are: TARP companies that don't replace their entire boards, CEOs that can exercise options at anytime during their tenure, and Chesapeake Energy's CEO.

One more interesting fact...the S. S. Minnow from Gilligan's Island is named after Nell's father.

The Motley Fool Co-author of Freakonomics Stephen Dubner stopped by FoolHQ yesterday. Among things discussed were prostitutes (a lot of discussion about prostitutes, actually), healthcare, and why he's just misunderstood when it comes to global warming. Check out his latest co-authored book: SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance.

Today, Obama revealed his proposal for financial reform. He wants to create a single agency to regulate financial products (think mortgages, credit cards, and insurance) to protect consumers.

What are we going to do next, "ban crime." It's all "feel good" political BS! At the end of the day all this regulation will hurt the consumer and raise costs for the rest of us! When has goverment regulation ever done anything positive? Has the SEC ever done anything positive? I give up, I am going to Detroit to wait in line for my stimulus money!

The Motley Fool Harvard professor and "disruptive innovation" author Clayton Christensen stopped by Fool HQ today. One interesting tidbit, of these three companies, he would "short in this order": Apple, Amazon, Google. Watch out Apple! Do you agree? Leave us a FB comment. http://www.claytonchristensen.com/

After a barrage of business books that purport to 'fix' American education, at last a book that speaks thoughtfully and imaginatively about what genuinely individualized education can be like and how to bring it about.

Interesting that hes identified reasons why innovative companies fail to continue to innovate and get displaced by smaller emergent firms. Claytons thesis seems to explain the business and marketing aspects which are occurring in Schumpeters creative destruction, which sought to deal with the more purely economic aspects of capital flows.

The Motley Fool Here's one Fool's take on Michael Moore's latest documentary on capitalism. Have you seen the movie? If so, leave us a comment to let us know what you think.

The Motley Fool - Moore's latest movie about capitalism is nonsensical.
Andrew Russell
Andrew Russell
Typically biased and narrow minded populist rhetoric, nothing but a visceral cry for help in the vague direction of a boogey man.

Nietzsche warns us about polarizing on the imperfections of our own epochs, Moore needs to look at our social system with a little perspective and realism. That would involve a serious acknowledgement of capitalisms benefits.

Capitalism didn't cause our current problems, the corruption of capitalism by a corrupt federal government (elected representatives and unelected bureaucrats alike) caused our current problems.

He's a solid business man with common sense. I love Costco and have seen the difference between Sam's Club and Costco. Costco has top quality products, fantastic hotdogs, and freindly staff. The lighting is good in Costco and I don't mind spending time there. With Sam's Club, I can't wait to get out. I don't like to be in Sam's Club.

I agree with dorrena. This is a great company. We love our treasure hunts at costco. we visit one in every city we ever visit on vacation (assuming there is one). Jerry even did a "costco tour" of 5 costco throughout england one long weekend. They have seasoned and efficient staff, fantastic easy return policies, and quality merchandise (and fantabulous meats/poutry/fish). Go costco!
