Research In Motion (RIMM) has dropped to prices last seen in 2004, yet management has not yet seen fit to buy a single share under its latest stock repurchase authorization. According to its third quarter fiscal year 2012 earnings report from December 15<\/a>, RIMM let another quarter come and go without repurchasing shares. Total outstanding shares remained essentially the same as last quarter and “common shares repurchased” remains zero. <\/p>\n

This lack of activity has occurred without commentary or explanation from the company. Surprisingly, analysts in the last earnings call did not seem to ask about it (click here<\/a> for the transcript for the Q&A from the earnings call). {snip}<\/p>\n

With shares trading in the teens, plenty of cash on the balance sheet, and an as yet unused share repurchase authorization, I have to conclude that there is a high likelihood that management still sees further downside ahead. {snip} Smelling blood, growth in shares short could actually accelerate in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
