- Charles M. you say you have a PHd in economics? The very last test of my degree is on economics, and I HATE THE COURSE. Average on the midterm was 40% for the entire set!!!!!!!!!!!! blaaaaaaaaaaaah. It's micro but infuses calculus to solve profit max points and so on and so forth.
Lol...what are you taking? an MBA? an LLB?
The only reason I ask this is that from my experience it has been the MBA and LLB students that have always been challenged most by economics, whereas engineering students seem to breeze through.
I wish you all the best and recommend more beer with your studies.

We all know these reports are lame and don't mean much, but most people will buy it and the shorts will be pleased. I hope that BB's retort makes headlines and flows through major media outlets. On another positive note, BB's fan-page has surpassed 26 million.
Good luck :-)lcjr likes this.04-11-13 08:00 PMLike 1 - Sorry if I've offended you, I'm just trying to understand why you picked today to start posting on this thread. If you owned shares I could see that you were venting, if not then I'm unsure of why you're here? Even if you are just grumpy Im ok with that, I actually find it amusing.bungaboy likes this.04-11-13 08:00 PMLike 1

- That's awesome Shane! As bad as today was, we've seen worse. I've been doing some daytrading and managed to pick up additional shares today, not as many as I could have but at least these kind of things can help...kinda sort of. We all know that BB is susceptible to these kind of swings and in a warped twisted kind of a way it makes it kinda sorta fun. Stay long my friends!Shanerredflag likes this.04-11-13 08:02 PMLike 1

- You can't come into a pro-BB forum and not support the product. That's like going to Japan and not supporting Dragon Ball Z. Just doesn't make sense. But I think the point you are trying to make is the dangers of this particular thread due to the mostly one sided consensus, which is pro-blackberry and how people can get caught up in the hype and later see it hurt them financially. This thread does not support what to buy so remember that. We all have our hopes and I personally think the + outweigh the -. Maybe one day, most of us will have to face the fact that, hey, we were wrong, we lost money, thats life... but what if this time next year, we are all drinking champagne, poured from the most beautiful import models, and taking pictures of it on out new blackberry Z1000000!

One thing I regret was not selling when I made a distinct goal before I dove in. As a first time investor, I told myself that all I wanted to do was make roughly 1500 dollars in profit. First week I bought in, within 5 days, I was up 5000. Ahh yes, life was good. The greed kicked in and things went crummy. After a few negative press releases BB fell back to the price I bought it at. Later, it would fall to the low 13's and stay there for the whole month of Feb... I never once panicked, I was just annoyed at myself for not selling. Then again, the week before that ER launch the SP hit the high 16's again. Not knowing the future, I held on because I swore to myself if this hits 18.80 I would sell. Well that infamous Friday came about and within a few short hours the stock fell 3 dollars! Back to normal... Now I sit here, with a little bit more shares, waiting. My research and confidence with other investors holding on (Prem W. & Mike L for example) have helped calm me down. I believe the stock will hit in the 20's, we just need a good ER, strong Marketing campaign, and some new products. However, there is much, much more potential out there too, just go through the thread and you will see...
So lessons learned from my first time investing: Stick to your strategy (I could have sold and bought back). Don't panic, which is something I have not done, thankfully. And go against the grain... The media is out there to mess around with your head, be afraid. But I've also learned a lot of good things too... That's my story thus far. Hopefully next year it will have a better ending.04-11-13 08:19 PMLike 9 - OK, I will tell you, in HIS OWN WORDS. We know why he chose to delist, he told us and it has NOTHING to do with any tin foil hat manipulation theories.
He doesn't cite fraud or manipulation, only that the need for and administrative costs for being listed there is not worth it. Fairfax is a relative newcomers to the NYSE having only been listed for 7 years.
"After our recent privatization of Odyssey Re, Fairfax now wholly owns all of its primary businesses and is the largest property and casualty insurance company based in Canada, with worldwide operations in over 50 countries," chief executive officer Prem Watsa said in a news release Thursday. "While our decentralized operations have global reach, after reviewing the factors relevant to our continued listing on the NYSE, we determined that our company and its shareholders will be better served by the simplified focus and lower cost resulting from the maintenance of only our original TSX listing."
"In recent years, as markets have become significantly more global and liquid, our constituents, including shareholders and employees, no longer require multiple listings," Mr. Watsa said.
Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. is delisting from the New York Stock Exchange, having decided that the expense and inconvenience of being listed in the United States outweigh the benefits.
The Toronto-based company has been listed on the NYSE for about seven years. [B]In 2006, it filed a lawsuit in New Jersey alleging that a group of powerful U.S. hedge funds short sold its shares and then schemed to drive down its stock price using a series of tactics, including intimidating executives and influencing analysts.[/B}
Such tactics are being used on the BBRY at this moment.04-11-13 08:20 PMLike 5 - Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forum and new to this thread. I've been a Blackberry supporter from the get-go however my current hand device is a S3. I've been following this thread for roughly a month now (since I've entered into the stock market - TSX) and been a frequent visitor to Crackberry since my storm 2.
Love reading everyone's reactions/thoughts on BBRY. I'm Long and in it for the bumpy ride!
Long live BBRY - and all our balls made of brass and un-wavering loyalty to one of the best the Great White North has to offer =D04-11-13 08:21 PMLike 8 - I hear ya lcjr! It takes a bit of gumption but I day trade about half my holdings sometimes and may only pick up 10 or 20 shares but if you're patient and don't mind holding cash sometimes you can get rewarded. It's scary sometimes but I find it invigorating. Sometimes I'm too quick pulling the trigger but volatility can be your friend. Please don't take this as advice, it's really just personal experiences. As is stated many times on this thread don't play with more than you can afford to lose. Gotta admit tho I do have fun!04-11-13 08:23 PMLike 4
- Thanks for sharing =).
I'm new as well (started roughly a month ago). Same boat - lossed on the profits I could have locked in prior to ER - greed ruined it. I'm only holding 600 some odd shares which pales in comparison to your holding and that of many others on the forum but still a huge chunk of my portfolio.
Likely a poor choice/strategy for me is that I'm 90% in on BBRY with 10% diversified. I really believe in Blackberry but what would you/others offer in terms of how to approach investing in BBRY and investing in general?
Cheers!04-11-13 08:25 PMLike 3 - You are wrong. See the highlighted text below:

- Haha! Sounds a lot like me. I just started trading in November and tried the diversification route. I had Nokia, Bombardier, Paladin, and BB. Then the 3rd quarter fiasco happened and BB went down like 3 bucks in one day. I was up on the others by a fair margin and I sold all of it to buy more BB. Turned out that was a good move for me. I'm now completely going against all conventional investing logic and I'm 100% BB! I should mention that I do have other long term investments but this is my play money and I'm really enjoying the ride even if it makes me want to rip my hair out some days!
