WHO WILL ACQUIRE BLACKBERRY???

It's not going to be enough to partner with BlackBerry/Cylance. I'm growing more convinced by the day that Chen is in fact grooming BB for acquisition. 

Amazon? Apple? Google? Tesla? Meta? And how many billions?

Do you really think or believe that the government would allow the sale of this company? Seems like the amount would have be egregious , and would also have to happen before the next election. Which if we go by historical reference of Harper hiding in closest and Trudeau hiding in God knows where from the truckers.......it should be within 1 yrs time from Jan 30. Never say never and crazier things ...more

Perhaps more accurate to state my belief that offers will be received. Some of us may recall the rumored offer from Lenovo for mid to high teens (USD) late 2014. There was also the Samsung rumor from early 2015. I believe there was a Microsoft buyout rumor as well. M & A in cyber appears to be picking up. BlackBerry for 30-plus billion doesn't sound farfetched to me. Chen strikes me as a ...more

Thanks, Jubatus. I'd say I nailed it. Wouldn't change a word.

  Think the author works for a Pharmaceutical so might notice some reference to that but all in all some may also see coincidences, similarities, surprises and a few "I told you so" in this paper. https://www.griproom.com/fun/10-signs-your-company-is-about-to-be-acquired

Thanks, Hedge. What's your take. What sort of phone or zoom calls do you think Chen is engaged in these days? I'm familiar with the David Stone article. #6 and the other one about trolls made me giggle. What's funny about the kids here is they never seem to be happy with Chen (SP up or down) and they all but give it away. Jubatus aka WiH may buy if the SP gets to 8 CAD, which makes it ...more

Why would I actually invest in this ? I have clearly said if I see quarter over quarter growth for 4. Consecutive quarters I would. Nothing pointing towards that. For now it's only trading material at My right price.

  Yes, I got a kick out of a certain poster who suddenly developed language and writing skills after making fatal blunder last week, but slowly coming back to regular self this week.  The biggest problem we may have selling the company is the stigma attached to the name BlackBerry, the defunct phone company. An acquirer may be hesitant because their own sh might think they've ...more

Hedge, I'm with you. I think these next six or so months are going to be very interesting. Also agree that the troll staff (both pros and amateurs) are valuable assets. KBB' and Russian are by far the most interesting, but I needs me Joey (the long suffering shareholder) and Jubatus (I'm here every day but don't hold a position) fix on regular basis.  Joey, you could save ...more

Or new investors aren't coming in because their are WAY Better companies making MONEY.
Comment by Hedgetrimmer on Feb 09, 2022 11:58am
Hate to say it but there are good reasons for not putting malcontents, professional or amateur, on ignore. First thing is missing when they screw up and secondly you just might miss clues for a hidden agenda, as so well outlined in that list I posted and you quoted. Best to let them think you might be reading their whole post, way more effective and rewarding in some ways. In some weird way they ...more

@yasch you should be careful with that propaganda article. Bb is not being acquired as it's too cheap.  Chen should have been showing growth and out and fighting media about fud. Also he should have been more open changing name early on so people don't assume bb is phone company. The phone narrative is still out there because Chen failed to educate everyone.  if Chen was ...more

Totally disagree. If their was any possibility of a run up due to great future earnings why not hold ? Unless it's some tax reason.. you'll never know.
