Well not the best news for Research in Motion (RIM) as we head into 2009, the BlackBerry Maker has been given a 2 star rating over at Motley Fool, the fools free investment community, obviously that’s slightly better than being given one star, however two-star rating does mean you should approach with caution, on the other hand, highly rated stocks have outperformed the S&P.

Here is a short overview of Research in Motions position as thought by CAP investors, 17.3 percent of the 800 investors asked think RIM will underperform the S&P 500, it’s also been said by investors that consumers are not rushing out to buy their new BlackBerry, many are making do with their existing BlackBerry Device, many investors think Research in Motion will find it difficult to stay in the games with competitors such as Motorola (NYSE:MOT), Nokia (NYSE:NOK) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) all in the race.

However looking back at RIM’s track record they might just have an ace card up their sleeve to keep them in the game.
