Congratulations people on the FDA approval for EYPT !

Morgan if you have some time to spare I would like to see your opinions if cannabis stocks are a it late to enter now or your think they still have a long way to go ?

thank you

BB to ring the opening bell on NYSE tomorrow morning 10/16/18.

Posted via CB10

Oh, that's just code for BlackBerry may announce some news, followed by a stock rise, followed by a big drop, followed by me and others at CrackBerry buying a block of shares...
... followed by BM buying a SxS ATV.

It is impossible for me to reccomend pot stocks! Of the lot, I only hold ACB as it is trading at a fraction of the valuation of WEED. WEED fully diluted was at 35B and ACB was at 16B. I say was because there was a massive reversal this morning with blow out gains followed by a classic sell-off. If you had to buy one it should be ACB as they appear to be the only one with lots of product going into tomorrow and they're listing on the NYSE along with the much lower valuation. I also think the next big deal with go to them. That's it, this is a crazy ride for new investors and the valuations are so high you have to believe that Canada will rule the world in cannibis. My goal is to sell my holdings in ACB at or around $ 20/shr/cdn. Best of luck.

Hi Morgan8, when you have a minute could I have your opinion on EARS.

thank you in advance.

WOW! If only you had come to me a week ago, we would be rich! Nice find here but as you know, it is on its way now without tomorrows data to back up the rally. Its a pure gamble on that data so I can't buy it right now. As for the company, you have to love it, a Phase III for tinnitus, there is no cure for that so this product alone would make them a major league player.

They are also working on inner ear hearing loss which is dealt with today via surgery so there's another amazing program in itself. To think that these aren't the real reason the stock is up. Vertigo is usually dealt with via a new non-invasive procedure by a leading ENT Doctor who determines which semi-circular canal has particle movement, and cures that issue with a special technic he has developed. If that doesn't work, he then uses surgery to disable the canal in question and you end up relying on the good ear for balance, plus the two remaining canals within the ear post surgery.

The weight issue is beyond me to understand right now and that's where all the excitement is for Wednesday. These four topics are massive goals to achieve on their own so to find a company with a program in each is great news. I will watch this one for sure, thanks so much for pointing it out to me today. I happen to know a great deal about the issues associated with three out of four of those conditions so this is very interesting for me.

I'll research them some more and decide next steps, thanks again.

[masterful]

Thanks for the great response as usual Morgan8. Please let us know the outcome of your research and you're welcome but instead I should thank you for spending your time on it.

Thank you morgan again for the insights ! i sold some EYPT and took up some BB was hoping to find somewhere else to put the rest of money.

No announcement so far. Looks like it was just a photo-op and a "I get to ring the bell" thrill for JC. I was expecting them to finally announce the execution of the share buy-back plan they committed to a few years ago.

Sadly not.

Today is the one year anniversary of BB trading on the NYSE.

Today is the one year anniversary of BB trading on the NYSE.

wow its been one year since they moved?? time flies.

sadly my account has not changed much in value since then lol

[morganplus8]

Thank you morgan again for the insights ! i sold some EYPT and took up some BB was hoping to find somewhere else to put the rest of money.

You are welcome!

BlackBerry below $ 9.50/shr is a no brainer. Pot stocks are risky but we could see some fireworks when companies start to report initial sales activity and corresponding outages. Some are going to be winners taking share value away from others going forward. If you pick the right play you'll do very well.

Thanks masterful for the heads up with EARS, a very interesting company.

[Corbu]

So, basically, one-year anniversary on NYSE and meeting with customers on WS.

morganplus8, rarsen and Greened like this.

[Corbu]

And Amber tomorrow...

[bbjdog]

Morgan mate what do you think of the supply and demand going forward on pot stocks? I would really like your intake on this mate. Cheers and all the best in life's adventures . Beer mate!

[EchoTango]

I'd be careful of the "pump and dump" play on pot stocks. I thinks there's a lot of "froth" in that sector and I'd be prepared for a big bailout. Once the legalization gets to be old news, it will settle down into a commoditization play. I'd be wearing a hardhat including to bed for the next little while.

[farmwersteve]

once the USA legalizes pot in the next couple years, they will grow massively, quickly. and without any Canadian content legislation, our shelves will be full of USA pot, the same way our wine shelves are full of imported wine.

Yeah. I heard some rumor about Microsoft involvement, but we have heard that before. I am a self admitted shill for a BlackBerry-Microsoft merger, just because they are so good for each other, but we will see...

I think M8 addressed the share buyback question that I personally had, like you some time ago. Perhaps the chap can regurgitate that again?

Hang in there though. This company ain't going away.

BlackBerry plans comeback as secure IoT hub

Thanks, fanBBRY!

For those that have problems with the paywall:

BlackBerry plans comeback as secure IoT hub

Smartphone maker aims to use its reputation for privacy on smaller devices

Protecting the internet of things from cyber attacks will be a big business opportunity and the race is already on to create new products and services to safeguard the 20bn or so devices that are expected to be connected to the internet by 2020.

Among those hoping to benefit from the boom is BlackBerry, the Canadian phonemaker that dominated the smartphone market in the early years of the millennium, but saw its market share collapse after 2010 as Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android system took over.

Now the company is looking for a comeback as a provider of secure IoT access. It hopes to apply its experience and reputation for high-level security in smartphones — which were in effect the first mainstream IoT products — to a broader range of devices.

Last month, the company launched BlackBerry Spark, a communications platform that allows IoT devices used in business — which it calls the “enterprise of things”, or EoT — made by any manufacturer to connect securely to each other.

“We’re taking our DNA of security and privacy and we’re making sure to apply that to the devices that we’re bringing into the BlackBerry Spark ecosystem,” says Charles Eagan, chief technology officer at BlackBerry.

Next year, the company will launch an additional security layer to sit on top of this platform. This will continuously authenticate devices on the network using data points such as location, time and even biometrics.

If a device appears to be in use by an unauthorised person it is blocked immediately and may have additional layers of security added to it.

BlackBerry has also released a service that allows manufacturers to embed a security key into their devices — whether those are smart speakers, smart locks or smart healthcare devices — to make them inherently trusted. A BlackBerry server records the key and continuously checks that the two keys match. If they do not, the device will no longer reboot.

BlackBerry said in its latest earnings report that it now generates more than 90 per cent of its revenue from software and services, with John Chen, chief executive, highlighting the “significant future opportunities” he saw coming from the Spark platform.

BlackBerry’s focus is the business market, but other technologies will be needed to protect connected devices across the board.

The seriousness of the IoT threat was underlined when almost half a million pacemakers had to be recalled in the US in August last year because they were found to be vulnerable to cyber “intrusions and exploits”. It prompted the US Federal Drugs Administration to announce a new “action plan” to advance cyber security in all medical devices.

Among those working on potential solutions are researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who have developed a new type of low-power encryption for microchips. This would allow small connected devices to have the same level of encryption as transactions performed on regular computers but using 400 times less energy and 90 per cent less memory, while executing processes 500 times faster.

This is potentially a game-changer for simple, low-powered products such as smart sensors used by industry to gauge things such as temperature and pressure, as well as health monitors.

“In the IoT space we have different sensors and small resource-constrained devices that might be running on batteries or energy harvesting,” says Utsav Banerjee, a graduate student at MIT and one of the lead researchers on the project.

Small IoT devices will often have some custom-made security features, Mr Banerjee says, but they tend to be less secure than standard security systems used for most internet traffic, for example.

Strong encryption normally takes considerable computing power. The new microchip cuts down on energy use, however, because it is designed to handle any kind of elliptic curve calculation — the mathematical technique that underlies most modern encryption — rather than being hard-wired for a particular one.

The chip exists as a working prototype and will need further checks before going into production. But Mr Banerjee said several companies had already expressed an interest in it.

Meanwhile Bomgar, a private cyber security company based in Jackson, Mississippi, is focusing on a particular area of vulnerability for IoT devices: remote access. This is software that allows a device to be remotely controlled in order to fix it, patch it, or provide support.

“Remote access is the number one attack vector across any platform,” says Scott Walker, a solutions engineer at Bomgar. “Apart from the keys to the kingdom, which is often the password, the remote access pathway is what people want — that’s the hackers’ golden ticket, ultimately.”

Better control over remote access, Mr Walker says, would have frustrated the infamous “ fish tank” attack revealed by security company Darktrace last year. A North American casino had some of its customer data stolen by hackers who accessed the computer system through an internet-connected fish tank in the lobby.

Bomgar has come up with a solution it calls “continuous true discovery”, which immediately takes inventory of a device as soon as it comes online and can automatically change its password and track it. Several S&P 500 and FTSE 100 companies are using the system, the company says.
