made me chuckle
I buy shares so happy I did WHAT HAPPEND ToDAY
On the plus side, the upward gap has been filled as well
I also am not as worried about a correction after today's drop and did purchase more shares today (and more options), however to leave call options on the table and leave for a few days during a major announcement requires a lot of nuts. I still think there's a 25% (gut feeling) chance that public sentiment will judge that whatever is shown on Jan 30th isn't good enough and the stock will head down, which is ok if you are only long but I have some Feb calls to unload. That leaves me 3 weeks to figure out when I think the high in the stock price will be.
I have a feeling that the stocks are going to fall again on launch day:
according to this:
BlackBerry Z10 available on Vodafone UK January 30th | CrackBerry.com
BlackBerry phones no longer require "an additional BlackBerry SOC to access the internet or use any of the BlackBerry services such as BBM or email."
People will be able to use a normal smartphone plan, meaning less service revenue, meaning shorts will blow that up and the stock will drop.
On the other hand, it looks like the phone is available pretty much immediately, so thats good news.
What do you guys think?
This has already been accounted for as of the last earnings call. Nothing new here.
the normal phone plan works for Apple and Samsung, right? and besides BB10 will become more accessible to a wider range of buyers.
so you have to calculate total buyers by total margin per phone and then see what combo yields the most,
obviously RIM has done the math and they have chosen accordingly.
The carriers might ask their employees to promote the BBs more than they used to because they no longer make less profit off each phone per month.
It was nothing new when Thor was interviewed and he reiterated that the company is undergoing strategic review just last week and the stock rallied. It wasn't new, but it still rallied.
At this point the stock is going to rally on any good new and drop on any bad new. Whether it's new news or old news.
Thanks again for taking time to explai things. I agree 100% with your analysis. I commented exact same thing on other sites. The pullback and consoldation is the requirment, healthy as it did few times in last 3 months if you look at the chart. It is just fueling the gas before it takes off..a pit station before back to the race track. I just can not wait for that squeeze..it has to happen..sooner or later.
Not just that, but if RIM required a minimum quantity, they'll be more inclined to move stock.

This guy says..keep calm and go long.
Pretty sure the stock dipped today because everyone forgot to do the #RIMDance.
Let's not screw this up again tomorrow, work those thumbs. :D
(all previous advices apply ...)
There's a simple rule (that doesn't tell you when to invest) that you must remember as a "week-end investor".
NEVER invest a dime you can't afford to lose 100%. Usually, if a metric can be set, it means no more than 15% of you available cash.
Take a measurement that is simple for you to put in line with your lifestyle; in my case, it was 5-6 good dinning out. I can balance that easily, by making dinners at home.
LOL ... let's see if this works today ;)
Edit : mhhh ... wondering ... ;)
II would think the big question following yesterday would be...how many short options and what is their strike price/date (overall)? Then we could gauge if the bulls or the bears are going to win this thing. Is there a way to find that info?
Thanks much
Did you guys see this? If it's true that is a very bullish sign of things to come. CEO putting his money where his mouth is.
