- Posts like this one are a little scary to me. Buying stock is one thing. The stock market generally goes up so it is gambling with the odds in your favor. But calls that expire not to long from now seems really risky to me. Bbry is hanging by a thread. I'm in and holding shares myself, but I'm not putting anything serious at risk. Especially not now since I've already suffered losses and the shares I hold are less valuable.
This a company which could really retract. Or it will be taken private for a song. Either way, shareholders aren't going to do very well. There is lots to like about the culture and the OS. I'm writing this on my very nice Q10. But it might take years for bbry to monetize this and I think it will be private before it does.

I am due for a laptop update and if iWorks can handle my fairly basic word processing and excel needs, the new air pad might be a decent option. It would be my first Apple product, ever.... still holding out.10-25-13 06:59 AMLike 0

Finally! How to make Android USABLE: Install BlackBerry OS 10.2 • The Register
And while BlackBerry doesn�t crow about it, there�s a significant performance update to the Android run-time, which now supports Jelly Bean apps. Whereas previously you�d only really want to run side-loaded Android apps in a dire emergency, BlackBerry OS 10.2 now runs them passably well for regular use � albeit with the performance penalty you�d expect from a Java runtime. This matters, because BB10 has far fewer native apps than rival operating systems iOS, Android and Windows Phone.10-25-13 09:01 AMLike 10 - Hi Morgan:
Given that short interest has gone up based on the latest number (from 140M to 146M), what is the thinking that these short holders have? We have reached BBMx launch with good numbers, 10.2, Z30, and multiple interested parties. Are they so convinced that there will be no deal or a deal below $9?
Thank you.
Hope you are still in this trade? It seems that many think the shorts are hanging in there trying to milk the last bit of profit out of BlackBerry but I would tend to believe that most of those shares are hedged at this point. Shorts know that they will be able to unwind their positions at or near the final acquisition price in any event. There is no information that would suggest that this bid would/could fail, nothing at all. I personally think that there are numerous enquiries at this point, that the board is reviewing a dozen possible outcomes, one of which is a partnership. It is the media that thinks BBRY is for sale and no other outcome is likely, I beg to differ here. Shorts might think that this deal could fail simply because BlackBerry is moving ahead with right sizing the business for 20 - 24 million handsets including plenty of interest in their software/security components; the end result is that they aren't for sale at all. I don't want to see them sold unless it is at a premium to Book Value, so for me, a partnership works the best. In any event, a short squeeze is highly unlikely as the majority of the shorts are hedged with a variety of resources. This will come down to the wire for Prem, anyone wanting to make an offer will want to see what he is willing to do, perhaps even he feels that at $ 9.00/shr, he won't receive enough votes to get his offer approved. The surprising thing about all of this process is the fact that no one has made it known they want to own the company be purchasing shares in the open market. November will provide us with much better indications as to where the bids will take us. In the meantime, we have stellar results so far for BBM-X and I'm surprised at how fast BB is rolling BB 10.2 out there! I'm completely satisfied with my phone running BB 10.2, it is a killer OS now. BB just has to clean up their costs and tighten up the business model for 20 million handsets and they will do well going forward.
Note that we are glued to the 3-ema now, and trying to clear the 20-ema for a major pop here. The stock is being held back until we receive our first offer to purchase, will it be Prem or someone else? Maybe that's a poll .................. who will make the first offer to purchase BlackBerry?10-25-13 09:18 AMLike 12 - Good morning JLagoon!!

Of course if somebody out bids him before he goes official, there goes the break fee. So, we have a poker game going on right now, who blinks first?10-25-13 09:25 AMLike 3 - Positive BBM article.
