Just ditched my shares. Not due to any lack of faith in BBRY, but realizing I've got insider information made me want to remove a possible conflict of interest from a pending legal battle.

Okay, you can't make a statement like that then walk away. You have to tell us then your conscience will be completely cleared. :P

I'm not asking for iconic.....but a $15-20 billion market cap company would do

I think they can become a 50 billion dollar company within 5 year if they execute on everything they are proposing. That just my 2 cents

BlackBerry CEO John Chen is chatting with the media again, this time with Bloomberg, where he states that the company currently has no offers to buy out the company.

BlackBerry might, at first glance, be a target for an offer or takeover, but according to Chen, "I don't have any offers on my desk." He added, "If people would like to talk, I mean, talk is not an offer." It does seem clear that he is going to stay on course with making BlackBerry profitable again.

Chen feels that BlackBerry could break even by the end of its current fiscal year, and become profitable once again in its next fiscal year which ends in March 2016. He added:

I am comfortable with where the company is today, how we managed our technology, our businesses, the margins, the distribution channel or the new products that's coming out ... Whether it's going to be good enough to be iconic again, OK, that's something I need to chew on. I don't know the answer to that question.

One of those "new products" that Chen mentions is likely the BlackBerry Passport, which is slated to be the company's next smartphone product.

I love Chenisms!

Not sure how to take this. Sandbagging? Not confident it can? Or truly not sure?

Wouldnt that be a nice stock price plug! Imagine first Germany, then China.... pretty soon bbry owns Europe's government's communications. Would that line us up for a 200$ stock party?

OT from the Related Technologies and Security files:

Home automation opens up IoT market for telcos: Ovum | ZDNet

Home security is set to become single largest growth sector for internet service providers and telcos in the burgeoning internet of things (IoT) 'connected home' market. Another significant market that has been identified in Australia, according to the report, is household energy management services and hardware. "The biggest challenge to growth is the nascent state of the ecosystem for connected home devices and applications. To grow this market the ICT industry must create innovative products that widen the appeal of connected home technology to the mass market."

The report follows multi-billion dollar investments by the likes of Google and Apple into expanding IoT device portfolios. Comment: I personally prefer a more secure known brand of smartphone technology.

Well I learned something today. CB and Google are partners. I never knew that. I guess it's the click, advert revenue thing.
