Random thoughts - all IMHO

[dontfighttape]

Best to ignore all the arm-chair CEOs posting on this board who have never turned around anything more valuable than their bicycle, let alone a multi-billion$ corporation - their opinions are not worth the dust under their feet.

I am all for a multiplicity of views, but they have to be grounded in fact, not fiction.

As for the dedicated long term shareholders, it is best to keep loading up for the eventual rise in share price whenever it occurs - all I know is that when the price starts to rise, it could possible rise by the current share price on a daily basis to catch up to, and attain its true market value and then some. I know I am well prepared for this eventual event!

As for the sale of the patents - I think if the sale happens, it will be for ~500-600 million $s with a 7 year tail of ~150-200 million $s annually. If the FB settlement is built into the deal, then price and annual $s could possibly be a bit higher. Those expecting a multi-billion $ sale price are likely to be disappointed (I will be most happy to be proved wrong)!

I obviously don't know, but strongly feel that the sale of the patents will be announced on Monday as it is likely to be a material event that cannot be delayed. If it is not announced on Monday, there is a chance that it has fallen apart, or still being negotiated.

If the patents deal falls apart, then all is not lost because BB will go after current and past offenders for retroactive license payments which will boost future revenue substantially.

You should post more often. I always keep this new release in mind. If IVY is successful, BlackBerry will be huge. Read this carefully and let it sink in: blackberry.com/us/en/compan...

I don't post more often because I am of the strong opinion that if people thought before they spoke, most people would be silent!

Well said, DFTT, Digs and others. Russian has been stirring it up on ST for past week or so as therealrussian. Folks there voicing displeasure with the malicious shenanigans. Anyway, thanks for the common sense posts.

[theRussian]

i'm here!! stirring up what? I told you i'm 100% sure Chen will announce patent sale...this is all based on my calculation/logical thinking/game theory analysis.  If Chen doesn't announce final deal by ER he will be the dumbest CEO of all time.  My analysis on why: 1. If he walks away it means the other party was successful in destroying our patent rev and 5g phone and

the CFO said at the recent conference on Nov 19th, that "john chen said one way or the other and we have to let shareholders know by ER" I'm reading that as sale or no sale(walk away). What english do you speak? BTW they just terminated the account of the youtube channel that was hosting this CFO conference video. BB going after these channels because they are now legally in

[framloeg]

theRussian If they are removing these channels for possible legal reasons, wouldn't that imply that there will be no deal announced during the ER . You mentioned earlier you feel confident of a deal as do I, but your point about these channels being removed does not bode well for a deal or am I misunderstanding something.. Thanks in advance for any clarification

[theRussian]

Frameleog, looks like yasch found it. He has amazing research skill, above mine for sure.  yeah the entire channel is removed. I'm not sure why. Was up 2 days ago.  at this point John and Steve's and bb reputation on the line. For once in 8 years they have to come through for shareholders!!! I'm still 100% that they announce by ER based on earlier analysis. If not

So when the big media stomp on bb and Cramer shits on jc head and WS shits on BB share price they don't do anything, but when a small guy who is a shareholder and is well wisher of BB they take him down??? Chen should be slapped for this move! It's pity move.  Chen weak dumpling can't pick fight with RBC and fraud analyst so he goes and picks on some small shareholder who was

lol. i did think about maybe TD going after the channel. Maybe because i been posting that video everywhere and calling them Traitors. It's spreading but it's true. TD + RBC  + CIBC all traitors!! They have done disservice to canadian peole for few bonus dollars thrown over by Americans/Israel.  Sorry it couldn't have been Chen. Very likely TD or CIO of Canada that made it

[Braggs2]

Do you think Russian will polish off his resume and post it so we could all review? Blackberry might be missing a sure thing when Chen's contract is up.

[theRussian]

lol sure thing man if BB board wants to approach me in 2023!! I run my bussinesses like a mafia! I would fully utilize our white hats to full extent possible to bring down our enemies/traitors...u know who i'm talking about!!

But why would they delete the channel from YouTube. The guy who was posting all bb stuff was very nice. They made him take out his channel from YouTube.  thanks for this yasch. 

[Braggs2]

Would you mind sharing your rationale \ calculations on your $20-$30 share price call. Thanks

[WillmaImhome]

And no displeasure with revenues profits and share price?

[theRussian]

How can you be a long term shareholder if you don't even follow the ER or listen to them?  I've been long 8 years so i can say whatever i want to BB mgmt. I earned it! You really think it's worth spending 12 months negotating only 2 billion for 20k patents? You need to redo your analysis. If it's anything less than 4 billion then Chen should be kicked out! Will have
