If this report is true, the fire is real hot.
The report starts out about sales but then leads in to some real corrupt allegations.
I hope this will lead to a serious short squeeze.

Maybe someone with a little more legal knowledge could help me out here. If what this writer is saying is true would the SEC get involved.
I mean threats, hedge funds trying to manipulate the market, people jobs being threatened. I think this is very serious if true.

Thought it was Misek, he said a while back he's gotten a few angry phone calls for his bullish calls.

Anyway, seems like this sort of stuff would be normal on wall street, people make empty threats all the time in high stress environments

Threats yes, but a hedge fund pulling there business because of a long position seems to me to be stock manipulation. I'm know legal wiz but this just seems unethical.

This dosen't surprise me at all. Too bad the truth always makes it way out and when it does we see whole really is full of sh*t.

This sort of bullying and outright deception by Wall Street doesn't surprise me one bit. Having watched my stock yo-yo up and down for no reasonable market circumstances beyond wildly inaccurate paid for reports by short sellers the fact Blackberry garners so much stock interest is a telling positive. Short sellers don't drive down a stock they think can't rebound. The question becomes when does market momentum and hard facts finally silence 98% of these tainted marketing reports? When that does happen we will all thankfully see a swift strong rise in real time Blackberry valuations. My guess we are all going to have to ride this for another 6 -9 months before we see stock rise above $20.

Nah, I bet it is the guy with Morgan Stanley. Sort of fits with the whole wall street thing.

when there is hundreds of millions of dollars in potential short earnings, i highly doubt these are empty threats

it may very well be Gus Papageorgio but there are still advisors in the ScotiaBank organization that still do not believe in his bullish views and feel that we won't see higher then $25 from BBRY

This is the most interesting/depressing part of that article

I would like to close on a sad note. I have learned of physical threats to a leading long analyst. A certain hedge fund has also pulled its entire business from a bank because it wouldn't fire another long analyst. This should give investors a sense of how nasty this struggle has become and they need to be very wary about what they read in the press or from analysts.

Could it really be true that short sellers are beginning to get THAT desperate? I'd say it remains to be seen whether such reports really are true but this sounds pretty interesting, nonetheless. I'll stay tuned...

The story line for Wall Street gets its premise and plots from somewhere....

thats what happens when you short on a company too soon, a company with a large user base and a large number of loyal users. a company with as much corperate penetration as BlackBerry has. a company with no debt and the assets that BlackBerry has in its corner to help build a compelling product with as much carrier push world wide.

its going to be a **** show from the no morals con artists thats for sure, we longs just have to hold strong and ignore the garbage that is trying to get spread

That is exactly what I wanted people to see, it makes me sad sometimes to think that people would be willing to destroy lives for a green back.

Get used to it. Its how the world works. No one cares about people anymore, some don't even care about their own families and care more about money then anything else and will do anything to get it. Why else would people cheat and rob to make it

I am sure the P:R and the IR people at BBRY are very concerned and will be very proactive (I am dreaming of course). I feel sorry for Heins, he has the worst advisors in terms of PR and IR.

I was sitting in the keynote at Blackberry Live last week in the third row center behind a guy who was telling his buddies that he was walking down the street in New York and ran into a hedge fund guy who was short Blackberry and he threatened him. I have seen Peter Misek on TV and it wasn't him. The only thing I remember about the guy was that he had some pretty big muscles, was in good shapre and it was clear he could take care of himself. Does anybody know what the Morgan Stanley analyst looks like? The shorters are clearly feeling the heat.

[BBZen]

I will take 25 bucks over the near term.
