haven't looked at the spread/ratio chart, strictly a valuation/fundamental play.

The reason why corporations will choose rimm over apple is encryption.

The china thing is an interesting twist.

Thx for the link. RIMM owns the corp market....I doubt AAPL is a threat. The trade is solely based on looking at the Enterprise Value / EBITDA ratios. If the ratio reaches parity (based on TTM multiples....we're not even talking about growth potential here), either AAPL moves higher by ~ 30% or RIMM moves lower by ~25%. Entry prices: shorted RIMM at 219.29. Bought AAPL at 128.03. Time will tell if valuations matter ;)
