Apple, RIM: A Tale Of Two Techs?

Call it a tale of two techs; Apple traded at all-time high on Tuesday; its highest levels since its IPO in December 1980.

Meanwhile, rival Research in Motion suffered a double downgrade on the same day.

Gleacher cut RIM to "Neutral" from "Buy", saying the stock has hit fair value and would struggled due to more competition ahead.

Should you ride the momentum or buy the laggard and sell the leader?

Apple is the big dog, says Anthony Scaramucci. And I don’t think RIM has seen it’s worst day but longer term I also think RIM has better days to come.

If you’re looking at RIM, I’m inclined to think that its trading on the upper end of its range, says Guy Adami.
