Investors are very angry at losing with Research In Motion while missing out buying the Apple stock when it was low a few years ago. This unhealthy investor mentality is what's holding Research In Motion from going into natural bankruptcy, and holding Apple back from going into $600 and then multiple stock splits. As a result, stock markets are suffering and the economy sputters with jobs not being created. It is time for the investors to wake up and let the dead companies like Research In Motion die, and let the healthy Apple company grow and prosper.
