I'm still in the red on BBRY but getting closer to break even. Himax is my dog at this point, and royal bank of Canada and Microsoft have been my winners long term.

BlackBerry trader gives thumbs up

BlackBerry trader gives thumbs up - optionMONSTER (06/30/14)

A large trade is betting that recent gains in BlackBerry will hold through early next year.

optionMONSTER's tracking systems detected the sale of 10,000 January 9 puts in one print for $0.91. Open interest in the strike was just 1,446 contracts before the trade appeared, showing that it is a new position.

The put sale is looking for BBRY to stay above $9 through expiration in early January. But if it falls below that strike price, the trader would be on the hook to buy shares at that level. (See our Education section)

BBRY is up 2.35 percent to $10.01 this morning. The mobile-device maker gapped higher with strong quarterly results earlier this month and have been trading in a tight range since.

Like this FactCheck initittive. Good for BBRY to "bite back" (in the spirit of the WC!):

Not really happy with this but I had to post it since it is out there.

From Chris Umiastowski, in the G&M:

�€˜The Internet of things�€™: Google, Apple and the next big growth cycle - The Globe and Mail

Chris Umiastowski is the growth investor for Globe Investor’s Strategy Lab. Follow his contributions here and view his model portfolio here.

Ever since Apple Inc. released the first iPhone in 2007, the smartphone sector, previously dominated by BlackBerry, exploded to a whole new level of growth. Today the two market leaders, Apple and Google Inc., control the two most popular mobile operating systems, iOS and Android. There is still a lot of growth to come in this market, since billions of people around the world still don’t have smartphones. But beyond that obvious next step of deeper consumer penetration, I think something more exciting is happening. It’s been dubbed “the Internet of Things.”

We don’t need to read the tea leaves to see this happening. It’s already quite obvious. Just look at Google’s latest acquisitions. They paid $3.2-billion (U.S.) for Nest Labs, maker of an Internet-connected home thermostat. Shortly thereafter, Nest acquired Dropcam, a maker of Internet-connected security cameras, for about $550-million. Nest has turned into Google’s in-house platform for the Internet of Things. Nest has just announced a developer program so third-party vendors can build devices that connect to the platform.

Apple has been busy too. At their latest developer conference in San Francisco, they announced something called HomeKit, a set of developer tools for vendors to connect their Internet of Things devices with Apple’s iOS devices.

Whether it be doorbells with built-in cameras, garage door openers, in-home lighting or even the cars we drive, it’s looking more and more as if our smartphones are becoming the remote controls for everything we do in life.

Not only do I expect Apple and Google to make it easy to connect third-party devices with iOS and Android devices respectively, but I think they’ll actually update their operating systems so we don’t need a plethora of separate apps. Why should I need one app to control a thermostat, another for lighting, another for heating and air conditioning, and yet another for my security cameras? This is a no-brainer opportunity for the mobile platform winners (read: Apple and Google) to give software developers easy ways to integrate their products with the operating system that we already use in the palms of our hands.

I love investing in trends that are already obvious, likely to have a big effect on how we interact with the world, yet are long-term in nature so I can benefit from years and years of growth. The Internet of Things fits the bill nicely. I’d love to give you a bunch of fascinating stock ideas consisting of companies that are making really cool devices. But many of the players in this industry are privately traded, just like Nest and Dropcam before Google bought them. Others are large, diverse companies such as Philips or General Electric.

While I keep searching for exciting smaller companies in this space, I think the obvious answer is to start by investing in Apple and Google, who control the mobile device platforms. We’re going to interact with Internet-connected devices through our phones. The phone is our remote control. Developers are going to chose iOS and Android because those are the only two platforms, today, that offer both immense market share and leading edge software tools to connect their devices to mobile phones.

This trend reminds me of the growth of the Internet in the late 1990s. Network operators spent billions upon billions of dollars building huge optical fibre networks. As an investor I bought into companies like JDS Uniphase, who sold optical components. They were the leading arms dealers in the optical networking war.

Today I think Apple and Google are the arms dealers in today’s new “Internet of Things” battle. Except they are giving away their firepower in the form of software tools and exposure to a massive population of users. It’s already very difficult for any new competitor to catch up to the sophistication and completeness of the app store that both iOS and Android offer to users. But now with their early push into the Internet of Things, I think it seals their fate as winners over the next decade.

Disclosure: I have personally owned shares in Apple and Google for many years, and I hold both stocks in my Strategy Lab model growth portfolio.

I'm about break-even for BBRY. NOK as been performing well for me.

Kicking myself for not selling HIMX when they were at $16. Hopefully GLASS will go into mass production and increase HIMX.

Even if they are correct the negatives still outweigh the positives. Especially in Great Britain. But hopefully they will stay an upward trend in our negative countries as well.
