Contemplating unloading Nokia CP ADS

I got a bunch of Nokia CP ADS (NOK) when I took over managing my dad’s portfolio and don’t know what to do with it. It’s been pretty rangebound over the years and doesn’t seem to get any decent traction. I’m thinking about selling Nokia CP ADS (NOK) into about $21 if it gets there in the near term and switching over to Apple Computer, Inc. (AAPL), my other tech name. Or, does anyone have a better idea of how to play this situation or another tech name to fill the empty Nokia CP ADS (NOK) spot if Nokia CP ADS (NOK) is just going to stay lame?

As a sidenote, I’m trying to figure out why Nokia CP ADS (NOK) has been such a lamer and if there’s any reason to hold onto it. The cashflow and growth seems to be there but it gets no love - I’m thinking because it doesn’t GROW marketshare? even though the handset market is GROWING? Is it not enough that the pie is growing but they need to take a bigger piece for people to like it? Or, maybe people just don’t like the stock because the phones have are the ugliest cellphones ever made? I haven’t found anyone that actually owns a Nokia phone or knows people who own one, but then again most of Nokia’s business is in Europe and Asia, not the U.S.

My other 2 tech names right now are Apple Computer, Inc. (AAPL) and Akamai Technologies, Inc. (AKAM). I’d appreciate any suggestions to fill the Nokia CP ADS (NOK) spot for a short term 3-month trade or a 6-12 month investment. Thanks!

About

I’ve been confined to my house since January 2006 because of severe skin and other allergies. I’ve resorted to stock trading and blogging to stay involved with the outside world and feeling alive. Yes, my medical condition had always been extreme but not this bad. When I graduated in December 2005 from Harvey Mudd (now #1 Engineering Specialty College…woohoo!) with an Engineering & Mathematical Economics double major, I had more ambitious plans.

I was born and raised in Southern California. I�ve moved several times, but at most only an hour away, so I here I still am. Now, at 23, I recently graduated from Harvey Mudd College with an Engineering B.S. and a Mathematical Economics B.A.

I was born with severe skin allergies and asthma, both of which are not curable by western medicine as of yet. My condition limits my activities and eventually brought me in front of the computer. I love to learn, create art and graphics, and now design webpages- the internet�s great for all these things.

With health as my first and foremost priority, I consider my full-time 24-7-365 job to be to practice Qigong to improve my health, then I am a full-time student. I have a lot of time to myself and thought a lot about a lot of things, but it may not seem so when you first meet me because I love to joke around. Lame jokes especially, and jokes that makes me seem like an ass ( )( ).
