- The sell side houses have been busy matching buys these past few days. The shorts are desperately holding down the price. Moreover, I expect that there is a sizeable number of shares that are set to sell on ER day just to scare off a bunch of green horns and their weak hands. Keep some cash on hand for the plunge and rally next Friday.
..that includes you CM.
Do the bears have enough stock to sell off to trigger stops and a scare even with a report that beats expectations say 0.30 EPS and loss of 2M subs 4m bb10 and 3.5 m bb7.
There is no more stock to borrow short. The only thing they can try is to sell stock to each other and push the price down. But the big guys have a lot of cash and if earnings are good why wouldn't they just jump in at the bargain price...lcjr likes this.06-21-13 03:24 PMLike 1 - This is where we really need to hear input from the smart guys on this board

I am very curious as to what will happen the week following the ER. I'm sure there are those that think the results are going to start a squeeze or the SP will be corrected/adjusted to $22-$25, but how do you get the shorts to let go of their money? There's a lot of money on the table and the shorts are in neck deep in a pool of trouble. Anybody got any predictions so far?
I think that's what partially contributed to Tesla's rise. Rates were closer to 50% at earnings time, and after that report quite a few shorts decided that it wasn't worth paying close to $10 per share in interest to wait around for the next report.
If someone is negative on BlackBerry's long-term future, it probably makes best sense for them to cover quickly on a strong report, wait for the price to settle at a higher level and for the hard to borrow rates to go back down, and then open a new short position.lcjr and Shanerredflag like this.06-21-13 03:45 PMLike 2 - I'm just wondering what us longs expect on June 28? What are you going to do if the SP goes down despite glowing results (purposely used vague description financial and non-financial results)?
I feel we all need a Plan B just in case our investment thesis does not work out.06-21-13 04:40 PMLike 0 - I'm not sure much will happen 28 June. I'm focusing on the September and December ERs. If after all the devices are out and we're not looking good, then I will cut sling and move on to something else (my plan B). This is already so shorted that I'm thinking they can control this indefinately. Especially if the shorts are the institutions holding shares themselves. Waiting to hear from somebody that has seen this in the past and list possibilities or probabilities at least.06-21-13 04:45 PMLike 0
- My plan B involves beer and a cooler full of ice. Lol...just kidding.
I really do not think it will collapse...maybe bench down a bit, overall the sideways trend is tiring for us but expensive for them...we got this.
Posted via CB1006-21-13 04:47 PMLike 4 - I guess that is the point. There are so many shorts that SP will not move higher until the shorts buying back their shares which does not appear to be happening anytime soon. The same could be said about the housing market in Canada. I've heard so many times soon it will drop.... waiting.... waiting...06-21-13 04:53 PMLike 2
- Oh yeah, I'm not being negative, but rather trying to learn. I'm a new investor and am researching and reading, but I can't find anything about a stock that is shorted to this extent and by institutional shareholders to boot. I'm just trying to find out the probabilities at least when this happens or IF this has ever happened before. I'm in until at least December brother, just unsure of how this can play out.06-21-13 04:53 PMLike 0

- K...we have discussed what happens if it goes down so just makes sense for a reasonable discussion of what happens if it stays up:
If you suffer from dizziness or nausea, or if the "up" lasts longer than four hours...do not panic...this is normal.

I listen to these analysts and I read through their examples but I'm often left feeling that I didn't hear anything different. Wait that may be a lie because I like Misek's model. In liking his model I had to ask myself whether I like it because he's bullish. That isn't the main reason but sure is one of them. Misek's research just seems to be the most sense, and the beauty is that it's conservative. Also it just dawned on me that Mr. Misek is no longer giving BlackBerry or BB10 a percentage of survival. Gone is the "oh BlackBerry only has a 30% chance of success."
At this point I've racked up 3209 BBRY shares and I just plan on holding until I get confirmation a out certain things at the ER. I kind of stopped trading BBRY daily in.hopes to get higher or lower. Only time active is when it real material news, And quite frankly we haven't got any real bad news in months.
Anyways, don't want to type to long as I'm going out to hang with the peeps in a bit and I'm the designated driver. Enjoy the weekend.

While I'm still a super bull on the company, it's somewhat of a heartbreak having expected at first that the launch on Jan 21st was going to kick to high gear, then to the earnings, then to the BB Live, now this earnings is shaping up for a doozy of a reaction... sigh, my pending status as a millionaire can only wait so long

iPhone owners are mindless zombies, says Nokia in new Lumia 925 ad
Pocket-lint
Friday, June 21, 2013 3:42 PM GMT
Nokia has unveiled a zombie filled advert for its brand new Lumia 925 smartphone. The ad shows iPhone holding zombies gradually closing in on a Nokia user wondering the streets at night.
The joke being that the LED flash on the iPhone 5 causes pictures to white out and produce red eye, making you look like a zombie.
Obviously Nokia is keen to show off the Lumia's low light imaging capabilities, which wouldn't require a zombie creating flash.
It's an interesting advert and one that doesn't actually feature the new Nokia phone albeit very briefly in the hands of the character being chased by zombies. The iPhone 5 makes more of an appearance than Nokia's own handset.
Still though it's good fun and the 925 is a great handset. On sale now, it can be picked up SIM free for �549, or alternatively you can browse our handy deals roundup here.06-21-13 06:37 PMLike 5 - Superfly_FRRetired ModeratorOh yeah, I'm not being negative, but rather trying to learn.

But if you're still on the day 1 mood, just look back. So far "we"'ve done it.
There's something irrational here, both for the upside and the down side... but the glass is half full, that's what I believe. guts believe. I might be ,no, it IS 100% subjective, but sometimes...
Let's stay calm but rock roll this !

HTC CEO refuses to quit as executive pay is slashed in half

HTC CEO Interview
Business June 21, 2013 at 3:25 PM
When HTC posted its worst-ever earnings last quarter as profit plummeted a shocking 98%, all eyes turned to chief executive Peter Chou. “If HTC fails one more time, then they’ll be under pressure to replace the CEO,” one industry watcher said. As the company’s struggles continue, The Wall Street Journal spoke to CEO Peter Chou about his future with the company, and he insisted he is still the right man for the job. ”I know you guys want to ask, will I quit,” Chou said. “There are a lot of rumors that say I would quit, but I never said that. I’m not going to find another job.” Separately, the Journal did some digging through HTC’s newly filed annual report and found that pay for the company’s top executives has been slashed in half.
