Company X to BlackBerry 1:1 possible deals

There are may of us who have been long and still are long in Blackberry for some time. None of use believe the company is worth only 9$ a share or are very happy about the board cutting & running on use for a deal at just 9$.

Most of us believe the stock is over sold and under unfair pressure. IMO the deal should be and must be in the range of 24$ a share. The Board should not be giving away our up side possibilities on our investments after the long term investors have held on for these difficult last few years..

What we should be looking for is a deal that sees Blackberry continue to operate as a stand a long company for the time being so we have at lease a chance to recapture some of our paper losses. If this is not possible then the board should be looking for a deal with a quality company that will do a 1 of 1 stock exchange rather than a pure cash deal.

Please god let us not have Mike Lazaridis back into this mix. I don't think he has any new vision or insight to add to the stock valuation of the company.

A deal from Cisco Systems would fly if they could so a 1 for 1 deal. I would even be prepared to have those newly issued CSCO share locked in or not tradeable for up to two years after the deal closes.

It could be a $9., $12. or what ever cash deal for those that elect not to stay and hold the aquiring companies stock for two years.

The deal does not have to be with CSCO but any company of vision with a current share price in that $20. to $25. range.

If the board takes the deal from Mr. Watsa’s and Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. (FFH) the only one that wins with Mr. Watsa. Taking Blackberry private Mr. Watsahe gets to capture all our up side with very little down side risk.

Some of the companies I would consider a share for share swap deal with a 24 month trading hold on the take out stock could look like;
CSCO 1:1
INTC 1:1
MSFT 1:1
BCE 1:2
MU 1 plus $5.:1
BRCM 1:1
CRUS 1:1
SNDK 1:3
QCOM 1:3
YHOO 1:1
CRUS 1:1
just to name a few possible target companies.

Hi Kenny,
If Prem Watsa discovers more lies and deception at BBRY courtesy of Heins and co mismanagement, he has every right to walk away holding his head up high with his reputation intact.

The slate of daily lawsuits are not all without merit or reason. These men have behaved fraudulently and we don't know the extent of the damage. I believe that the board forced them to come clean about this at Prem's request. let's just hope the board did a thorough job.

The question is how bad is it over there? No one knows for sure.

It is my personal belief that they behaved fraudulently and that is scary because once you open that chasm..who knows where it ends?
