RE: Hello: thanks for supporting Blackberry and enjoy your new Z10!
IMHO, no one can predict the future with certainty...you can see that from the tremendous variation in opinions from the various analysts....the stock market is a popularity contest and just like show biz, the actors change from year to year....right now, BB is on the comeback trail and another player is declining (your guess) due to its huge size and infighting/ high expectations from shareholders...how this breaks is anybody's guess, but since there are millions of people like us who will buy Z10 and tell others about it, I think the long term future is pretty bright with the new management team, young and energetic and alert to the constant shifting in the market place...that is the key, as in tech the players must remain ever vigilant and flexible.
And yes, reading these bulletin boards will keep you up to date about what's happening...far more than reading the establishment financial press, which so often has an agenda. However, I agree with another poster who says that what we say here has little effect on the outcome of the markets...rather we are like people at a ball game rooting for our favorite team and sharing stories and stats...that's how I see it.
Good luck to you.
