Leon Cooperman bottom fishes with RIM

Ex-Goldman Sachs honcho, and current Omega Advisors hedge fund manager Leon Cooperman has taken a bullish position on RIM - Research in Motion. [RIM is down 73% YTD 2011]

Our Think Billions research department has yet to determine if old' Leon Cooperman owns a cell phone or knows how to spell smartphone or even thinks that RIM is still IN MOTION.

"RIM could rise again when it finally gets its new QNX operating system. It’s still got a hell of a user base. “We think the new operating system is constructive,” Cooperman told CNBC. “RIM has over 70 million users. … There is tremendous intellectual property and the possibility they could resurrect themselves and go on a better track. We took a speculative position.”

Steve Jobs and Apple, billions of cash







Steve Jobs, with an estimated net worth of over $5 billion, has Apple's cash position on the balance sheet nicely reaching over $24 billion.

How does he do it? Well, last month's conference call noted the iPhone now surpassing RIM's blackberry.

Looks like more billions ahead for chairman Steve Jobs and the folks at Apple.
