Granted, Google's future is much brighter than RIM's at this point, but raw stock price is a pretty bad way to convey that - it contains 0 information beyond what it costs to acquire one share in the company.
Right, but you listed Google and RIM's stock price as though comparing the two prices by themselves is significant. It isn't. RIM could have substantially more shares outstanding than Google.
Comparing their market caps? A little better. Comparing how their prices have changed over time? Probably a lot better. Comparing the two prices by themselves? Useless.
What is your original argument? Microsoft is also worth over $200 Billion but that doesn't mean Windows Phone is doing good. Or in other words, Google makes their money by selling ads, largely on desktops. Raw stock prices or market caps mean nothing.
