RE: I hope BB is searching Who do you believe? An official statement from a DOD spokesman has categorically deny any truth in the rumour. He adds further an explicit clarification of the present statistics of the total mobile devices under DOD management showing 470,000 BBs, 41000 IOS and 8700 Androids? Commonsense would tell you that this person who says the DOD is ditching BB is giving a statement without substance or credibility. If DOD were to ditch all BB, it goes against the grain of his own statement that this whole DOD exercise was to curtail the budget expenses of running the whole mobile network of the DOD. Is this not a contradiction in terms because if the DOD chose to upgrade their mobile network, it would have to spend the money anyway regardless of the make of smartphones?
To stop the shorts from playing havoc on the share price, I would humbly suggest to fellow long investors to remove their stops, eliminate their purchases on margins and make all their shares Cash purchases. IIROC rules prohibit banks or brokers from lending out investors shares held in Cash Account to shorters. If your bank or brokers is doing this, they are flaunting the law. It is a ll question of supply and demand, If you do not take the preemptive measures, you are simply allowing this shorting process to go on against your own interests. IMHO.
