What a crazy end to the day. I was just about to pack it up and go back to my real job when the news broke. For all those people holding shorts, there are alot of analysts out there who have said Blackberry need only sell 1 million to break even this year. Will there be a bloodbath tomorrow?

Would love to see some reports of that. If that is truly the case they are already profitable for the year?

[ipaqman]

[bungaboy]

Too late man! I sold everything in all my portfolios and put it on BBRY! You guys should have talked me off the ledge sooner! I've already jumped...... Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!.

(just kidding. But I did double down on BBRY today with the remaining free cash in my account. Too much good news coming in the next few weeks and too much support from bulls to ignore.)

YOU are one lucky Dude today. You don't have a Pot big enough for your money after this 1,000,000 to ONE CUSTOMER sales.

Beers are on you. LoL

If BBRY produced:

500K in December
1.5 million in january
2 million in February

And none of these 4 million phones went to USA warehouses (as alluded by the Verizon order announcment) .... how many sales were there last quarter? If tehy actually sold 4 million phones with 50% sell through, that would be insane. I know I must be missing something but seriously. If they only sold 800K phones, where the heck are the other 3.2 million?

[Bugmapper]

YOU are one lucky Dude today. Beers are on you. LoL

Here you go..... beers all around......

[AlexejKir]

reading the amount of shares ppl are holding around here, I feel like a really small fish.. but then again, I am just a student.... (120 shares)

I am guessing 2 million reserved for US inventory.
1 million sold in rest of the world (Canada, UK, Asia, Europe etc.)
1 million sitting in the shelves to be sold over next month.

nice timing too. just before sammy's parade of the giant jelly bean tomorrow!!

Woot, Woot!

Just what I was thinking! What a way to slam dunk a SamDung!

We were all small fish at one time. (I'm not much bigger than a trout myself) The most important thing for you now is to learn. Don't get too focused on the market. Take your time - that is the one thing you have on your side! Some of us wish we were in your shoes (go back in time) and start earlier than we did - so don't be jealous of old people with lots of money - you have something more valuable - lots of TIME!

[Bugmapper]

If they only sold 800K phones, where the heck are the other 3.2 million?

Somewhere in Russia?

[EvanRitch]

Maybe im the smallest fish at 45 shares

LOL my first ever stock purchase didn't go so well lost maybe 70% but had to get into Blackberry

BlackBerry� (BBRY)(BB.TO) announced today that one of its established partners has placed an order for one million BlackBerry 10 smartphones, with shipments starting immediately. This order marks the largest ever single purchase order in BlackBerry's history.
I highlighted the key words here. As I said, the historic peak sales of BB phone is about 7.5 million handset/Q.
Based on this larger order than historic purchase order, will it be safe to say that Blackberry can sell at least 7.5 million Z10 + Q10 (Q10 is not available yet) next quarter?
Again, if they doe sell 7.5 millon Z10, will it be safe to say that the quartely EP will be more than $3/share?
Again, if they can make $3 earning per quarter, will it be safe to say that they can make $12 EPS?
Again, if they make $12 EPS, will it be safe to say that the stock price will be at least $120?
Again, if the stock reaches $120, will it be safe to say that the historic short squeeze will be on?
Again....

Obama must have gotten pissed off with all the hacking going on that he mandated BB10 for all gov't. employees. No more BYOD!

Maybe...just maybe.

Actually I was reading last night that President Obama called Business Leaders into the White House to discuss this.

What a day!

Maybe 4X earning to start...but I like your thinking

[Marc_Paradise]

will this stock keep rallying up tomorrow? or will it be hit due to s4 aanouncement..wondering whether to sell now and maybe take some profits

My not-investment-advise hunches: we'll see TMO give a march release date tomorrow or Friday. We'll also probably see Skype released this week. And we'll get an analyst upgrade or two by Friday.

If those things are true, $17s are in easy reach, possibly a bit more.

Not saying it will hold those numbers, but I think we'll get there this week.

I was just waiting for the end of the day

Should have used the Frankfurt EOD I guess. Who would know. Don't take it badly. Buy now because it is "movin' on up" Weezie.
