In that case, we should be more careful when we call for more BBRY viagra next time...

Cramer Quick Take: BlackBerry Back From the Dead - TheStreet

He's still a quack, jumping on the bandwagon he was determined to blow in place just last week. I trust his advice just above Satan's.

[Bugmapper]

Yuppers...9 out of 10 TA indicators are yelling BULLISH So should see a pretty good influx of new buyers tomorrow...buyers means up

I found some more dead money today so I'll try to help out the gang tomorrow by relieving some dope of a few hundred shares.

When it goes over $18 you can have some of mine.

Good day today. I ended up selling 10% of my shares for a profit. We were close to hitting the $17 mark, which may see light at the end of this week.

However, be warned... Earnings can bring this down. The toughest part is predicting whether or not it is a good idea to sell just before than and buy back at a potential dip...

Great job Kid! You made a plan and stuck to it. Keep an eye on things closely next week. My personal opinion is that the SP will be all over the board again until the week after ER.

Yea, it's a tough one to predict... As for the ER, I know people are analyzing the number of Z10 sales as the staple point of the Z10... Others are measuring the subscriber base and whether or not it will fall or not (this one seems a bit tough to calculate as BB has already stated they will calculate this number differently).

Marketing costs are going to be high, cash will most likely decrease. Still don't think they will have any debt. Profit... well, lets hope!

I wondered about the change in calculation method when they rather offhandedly mentioned it last ER.

I think it was genius - as it will make it impossible to tell what really happened between this ER and last ER. Going forward it will again give clear relative indicators, but for this ER they've muddied the waters in a way that's perfectly acceptable


They did also say in the last ER that they expected to be above 2bn in cash - and so as long as they deliver on that, it'll look good from that angle. Like I said elsewhere, I'm a bit concerned they're going to miss the mark here - 1.8 or 1.9 or something. "Pretty good cash position" does not inspire confidence...

[erodenero]

looks like its holding strong in AH trading.

yeah if they miss the boat on cash position i have a feeling were going to see a dip.

[bungaboy]

If other BB buyers are anything similar to me, they won't be lining up for a phone. It's so much easier to click online and getting it shipped to your home or office. Plus, we have things to do that more important than standing inline to buy a phone. A long winded way of saying that length of lines might not be a good metric to measure enthusiasm for BB10.

Yup. No shepherd's crook needed with BlackBerry users.

[bungaboy]

very, nice move imo

LoL. I took it as a gag.

Anyone seeing this story doing the rounds about the DoD buying 650K iOS devices to replace old BlackBerry device. It comes from the same people that said they had stopped testing due to the sequestor.

We have seen lots of dips since August 2012. And look where we are now. You're blackberries shrinking? LoL j/k

[AlexejKir]

Look at the DAILY chart starting from 14th-22nd Jan. It looks like we are almost copying the moves so far. If that is the case, would probably expect a gap up on the open tomorrow and attacking 52week high by the end of the week. Would be sweet.
However, also notice a sharp move down, few days before the launch, I think we could see something similar next week, for shorts to bring the price down before ER, to close their positions and pile up some shares.

Dont let it influence your decisions, stay calm and enjoy the action.

edit- also, if we break 52week high, it wouldnt be unreasonable to look at the daily chart again, and there are hints of Cup and Handle pattern that might have been formed since Jan 2012 - but that is just a speculation

not my chart -

If this is the case, potentially good news is that BB can license out their security satellite to other OS devices in the summer... They have stated this is planned and will increase revenues for BB.

Wal-Mart expands iPhone scan-and-checkout feature

Wal-Mart Stores Inc said it is tripling the number of U.S. stores in a pilot program that lets shoppers scan items with their iPhones and pay at self-checkout counters.

Wal-Mart’s “Scan & Go” program will soon be in more than 200 stores, up from about 70. The pilot began near its home office in Bentonville, Ark. in late 2012, then expanded to Atlanta.
While the program is tripling in size, for now it will be in only a small fraction of Wal-Mart’s more than 4,000 U.S. stores.

“We want our customer feedback to dictate the experience,” Gibu Thomas, senior vice-president of mobile and digital at Wal-Mart Global eCommerce, said this week. “You’ll see this roll out to more markets.”

For now, Scan & Go only works on Apple Inc. devices. An Android version should be out soon, Wal-Mart said.

With more than half of its shoppers using smartphones, Wal-Mart is trying to make shopping more convenient for shoppers who embrace mobile technology. More than half of the customers who have tried the Scan & Go feature have used it more than once, Mr. Thomas said.

Shoppers scan bar codes on items they want to buy, using the Wal-Mart app on their iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to keep track of the planned purchases and the total cost. Then they pay at a self-checkout screen, bypassing the typical registers.

As it expands the pilot test of Scan & Go, Wal-Mart is also adding self-checkout lanes to many more stores. Right now, about 1,500 stores have self-checkout lanes, and another 1,000 to 1,500 stores should get them this year, said Jeff McAllister, senior vice-president of Wal-Mart U.S. Innovations.

Wal-Mart is bringing Scan & Go into a dozen more markets: Denver, Colo.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Omaha, Neb.; Dallas and Austin, Tex.; Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Okla.; Wyoming; Bozeman, Mon.; Seattle, Wash.; San Jose, Calif.; and Portland, Ore.

Users can get an electronic receipt along with a paper one. Wal-Mart has hinted digital coupons may be coming soon.

Scan & Go users pay in the traditional way, not via apps on their devices. The company declined to comment further on mobile payment possibilities.

Last year, Wal-Mart and other retailers joined together to develop Merchant Customer Exchange, a mobile payment network to try to match similar services from Google Inc. and eBay Inc., among others. No details have emerged on the project.

Interesting . . . . . .

How is this any different than using a self check out? Beyond maybe knowing what the cost is ahead of time?

If they can pull off a profit that would be great!
