- thanks, i should have checked the date first on the link i was sent before posting, g'rrr. regardless, thank goodness it is from 2012.
moving forward, nice legs on BB at 7:26 PM in light of the "nonsense" now at $10.82 = $12.92 cdn, above the last price before the rally kicked in.
the price before the start of the rally was ~ $11.55 cdn
i believe Reuters and suspect that Chen is very upset tonight, hopefully he finds some humour in this afternoon and makes good tomorrow.

"Executives from the two companies, which are working with advisers, met last week to discuss a potential transaction, the source said, asking not to be identified because the conversations are private.

BlackBerry Responds to Media Report
"WATERLOO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan 14, 2015) - BlackBerry Limited (NASDAQ:BBRY)(TSX:BB) ("BlackBerry") is aware of certain press reports published today with respect to a possible offer by Samsung to purchase BlackBerry. BlackBerry has not engaged in discussions with Samsung with respect to any possible offer to purchase BlackBerry. BlackBerry's policy is not to comment on rumors or speculation, and accordingly it does not intend to comment further."
BlackBerry has denied the takeover rumor, but didn't deny the meeting. Samsung is stuck between a rock (android) and a hard place (Chinese manufacturers). If they are serious about getting into enterprise and IoT they'll have to do something different.

If there were any concerns to the facts updates would not have been released, more so by the original authors.

- Right you are. I do feel for Chen. He has worked so hard and to have this happen, someone(s) stealing his thunder. Oh well, the show will go on and Chen will bring humour to the situation as he does so well in a positive way. Very impressive to see BB up since the rally started at 3:45 PM ET today at $9.70 USA, currently at $10.82, imho, this speaks volumes that there is more upside tomorrow to take place, more so with massive short covering being the order of the day for many. BlackBerry Limited (BBRY) After Hours Trading - NASDAQ.com ... that's a wrap, last trade $10.78 = $12.88 CDN, well done, +11.13 % from when the rally kicked in at 3:45 AM.
Interesting, from Samsung, today, http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2015-0...ver-offer.html Jan 14, 2015 7:16 PM ET < liar, liar, pants on fire very suspect how this is "denied".

AH closed with BBRY up 15% on the day. Reuters re-posted its article one hour ago.01-14-15 07:17 PMLike 10 - Ah, Chen deserves all the glory, not all to Reuters, regardless, fun it will be when Chen grandstands. What a past 5 hours it has been. Understandable in light of the news what we experienced, however, very impressive to see a +11.1% gain since the rally started at 3:45 PM ET, rest assured imho there is more upside to follow. I will be on top of Germany when it opens in a few hours with:

Edit to add the wink...OL Forums should be fun, dry and stimulating...keep em coming.
Classically Posted.01-14-15 07:31 PMLike 5 - Denial that they are 'in talks'...source says they met last week...if true the offer must have been declined by major shareholders /bod.

Really adds nothing but complications

They've already partnered to use BES12 with Knox, why not tighten things up with BB10 phones. At least for enterprise. Just my thoughts.Shanerredflag and bungaboy like this.01-14-15 07:44 PMLike 2

Posted via CB10Shanerredflag and bungaboy like this.01-14-15 07:44 PMLike 2 - So if they have all that, why partner with BlackBerry. Corporate world is where they need to enter, so how hard would it be to have two operating system, two numbers, one simm. That's my opinion and it's only a wild dream. Personal and business would be something to see.

Posted with my flash Passport01-14-15 07:52 PMLike 0 - If an acquisition of BB by Samsung does come to fruition at any point, I think it is for other reasons than phones. Samsung has been making strategic acquisitions to go inline with their greater ambitions outside of phones, which we know are declining. They pushed that message really hard at CES and are doing so as well, with the Tizen push on home devices. I look at Smart Things (home automation) and PrinterOn (secure cloud bases printing) as two recent strategic acquisitions.
Where BB really comes in play in my opinion, is with its network infrastructure needed to support these connected devices, coupled with patents which likely outline details over BB's proprietary network infrastructure. Instead of building that network, Samsung is likely buying a strong infrastructure in place which they can easily expand and strength with more cash. Further, I believe that BB has the software talent which Samsung could need as Samsung isn't know well for its software.
Lastly, PrinterOn which I mentioned earlier, is a Canadian company. Therefore, Samsung is familiar and has gone through the process of getting clearance from the Canadian regulators on the acquisition. This is meaning they know they need clearance if an acquisition offer is made.01-14-15 08:02 PMLike 4 - But is that a bad thing? These guys are already in bed together. Blackberry is still reasonably strong in enterprise and Samsung wants in badly. Regarless of all the noise, something is going on.01-14-15 08:03 PMLike 0
