Nail on the head, Snig! I also don't understand, but then it's his opinion. But I believe researched or educated opinions, not guesses, count.

Phone blogs are like economists for the mobile world. Now even financial economists do what we call forecasts/predictions. But all that is done using available data. If the data is sketchy, they avoid making drastic predictions. Drastic predictions are assumptions and assumptions shouldn't qualify as opinion. But some bloggers and economists do that, at times- take little data and project far-reaching futures on companies or commodities. They get it wrong and life continues. But I think phone bloggers should also avoid that, for the credibility of their personal work and the blog. I always say we should try and separate fact from opinion- the ability to separate it from assumption is even better.

RIM, for one, has had the worst of assumptions and drastic predictions that they have devalued them as a brand. Economists, journalists have constantly attacked them that it drove their stock down tremendously. Granted, RIM has lost market share due to lack of innovation and leadership over the years, but it cannot not be said that economists and journalists have not made a meal of it- they talk about seeing a further slump in share prices; buy-outs by Microsoft, HP, Google and so forth. When such rumors resonate in the tender economic fraternity, a company will lose value.
