I grew up on the north coast of Labrador and had to lug water from a well in 5 gallon buckets...no sewage either...hand to empty the honey bucket down at the landwash. Yip, we grew up rough and tough.

Well, if you happen to see or Google the series "Duck Dynasty" (my favorite series besides Finding Bigfoot), that is how I grew up.

All in all, not a bad day. Not nearly as bad as some speculated and played into the math of the chart. I'm satisfied with that.

Same here. I bought a bunch more at $13.85

Oh, don't get me wrong. My childhood was the best. Learned a lot, great work ethic, just didn't have a lot of the modern conveniences.

Why The Bulls Are Even Bearish (part 2)

Goldman Sachs analyst Simona Jankowski has delivered one of the more bullish projections for the company that we�ve heard in recent weeks.BlackBerry 10 quarterly sales estimate: 2 million to 3 million | BGR
Projected to sell at least 2 million BlackBerry 10 smartphones per quarter in 2013.

Lets do the math
Today, AT&T has more than 16,000 retail locations in the U.S. https://forums.crackberry.com/e?link...token=UCyyXVID
Lets say that each AT&T location (16,000) can sell 1 BB10 per week and multiply it by 13 (52 weeks divided by 4 quarters)
16,000 x 13 = 208,000
AT&T has a 26.6% market share in the U.S. Don't Sweat a BUD Monopoly | InvestorPlace
208,000 divided by 26.6% = 781,955
The BlackBerry subscriber base is 22% in the U.S. Where RIM's subscribers are - The Globe and Mail
781,955 divided by 22% = 3,554,340

The bottom line: If AT&T can sell 1 BB10 per week at each of their locations and the market shares remain the same, BlackBerry will sell 3,554,340 BB10s per quarter.
Now just imagine AT&T can sell 1 BB10 per day..... I'll let you do the math!

[QUOTE=DragonFlyer;8184633]Why The Bulls Are Even Bearish (part 3)

Last week, Morgan Stanley analyst Ehud Gelblum upped his price target on BlackBerry�s stock from just $10 to $22, alongside a rating shift from Underweight to Overweight. But, Gelblum�s assessment hinged on BlackBerry�s ability to sell devices, and specifically to sell them at a higher average selling price than it had with previous devices. This will depend heavily on continuous demand for BlackBerry�s latest devices.

Gelblum�s model predicts that the company will sell 36.4 million smartphones over the year at an average selling price of $285.30 � these values are up from previous estimates of 31 million units and an ASP of $260.80. This would bring total annual revenue up to $13.92 billion from $11.62 billion, and boost profit to $0.23 per share from a previously projected loss of $1.37 per share.

Lets do the math
36,400,000 divided by 12 months = 3,033,333
3,033,333 x 22%(U.S. market share) = 667,333
667,333 x 26.6%(AT&T market share) =177,510
177,510 divided by 16,000(number of AT&T locations) = 11

The bottom line: AT&T needs to sell 11 BBs a month at each location to maintain its share in the market.
Now these are any BlackBerrys, not just BB10s, although I don't expect them to sell many BB7s.

On a side note, why is the Bold the same price as the Z10?

Not sure if this is covered on a previous page but Simona Jankowski (mentioned in previous post) downgraded her estimate:

“Our retail checks at over 20 store locations since [the] March 22 [debut], including at AT&T, Best Buy, and RadioShack, revealed a surprising lack of marketing support and poor positioning of the product,” said Goldman Sachs analyst Simona Jankowski.
“As a result, despite the product itself being relatively well received by sales associates and online reviews, sell-through at most locations were less than 10 per day,” she said in a research note to investors Monday.

BlackBerry is counting on strong carrier support and pent up corporate and consumer demand for the Z10 to stem a sharp loss of market share in the U.S., which accounts for about 20 per cent of the device maker’s global subscriber base.
“We now assign a 20 per cent probability of success for BB10, down from 30 per cent previously, as the disappointing launch of the Z10 at AT&T reduces our confidence that sell-through of the BB10 will be successful in the important U.S. market,” Jankowski wrote.
