Research In Motion Earnings Trade
Research In Motion(RIMM - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) is set to report earnings Thursday after the close. CNBC Silicon Valley Bureau Chief Jim Goldman joined the "Fast Money" crew to discuss his take on the BlackBerry maker. Goldman mentioned that most people are expecting a "beat and raise" quarter out of Research In Motion. He feels that if RIMM beats expectations, the stock will make a significant move to the upside. Some investors have been speculating that RIMM might have to restate earnings, but Goldman doesn't believe that will happen. Chief Market Technician Carter Worth thinks it is highly probable that RIMM will gap lower on earnings based on what he is seeing in the chart. Najarian thinks there is nothing but upside for RIMM here. Macke thinks the numbers will be strong and he recommended going long RIMM with a stop at $95.Jim Cramer answers questions on Best Buy, Goldman and more.
