RE: RE: RE: Eeeekkkk, The sky is falling..... What makes you think I'm riding it down from $18...LOL? And thanks very much, but I don't think I need any investment books to back up my 13 years in the business. And sorry to poke you if you're not a basher, but seriously, the only people I know who try to time the markets and jerk their knees at every little dip are people who lose money. If you're successful, then congrats...but I'm content with the growth I see in my portfolio that doesn't involved trying to time the peaks and valleys.
As for how many BB10 phones I' ve seen in the wild...more than I've expected to see. Granted, I see a lot of Iphones and even more Android phones, but I've seen at least half dozen Q10s and plenty of Z10s in my area. I don't have exact numbers because I'm not constantly staring at people's phones. What I do know is that the Canadian carriers have moved a lot of them and in the end, numbers are a whole more important than what I see at concerts. BB will easily sell six million phones and likely will end up closer to the 15-20 million range by the end of the year. If they only sell 6 million phones, then it will be a bloodbath because that's even less than some of the worst bears are predicting.
Again, sorry if you're a basher, but an anecdote of what you saw at a concert and commenting that you work in the financial sector, a sector that BB still owns, and that you should know BB will continue to own, didn't exactly strike a pro-BB chord with me.
