To John Chen Detractors

This year has been a misread and expensive disappointment for many within and outside Blackberry's walls. 
No one just happily accepts the share price decline and weaker sales/profitability.
Just yesterday, I incorrectly anticipated the share price would recover to its prior end-of-day level. To me, the drop didn't make sense based on the results we saw. But hey, what did I know?

So where does it leave everyone, including the company's executive group + directors?

I haven't found reasons to question operational, marketing, development decisions, etc. through 2022.
Therefore, I can't point a finger at John Chen and ask "Why did you do this or that or something else"
Neither can I claim thoughts or proposals to more quickly allow Blackberry to accelerate its return to former success levels. I'm still comfortable with the steps achieved this year.

Pretty clear though is that Joey/others have identified specific John Chen mistakes and possess   
ideas that would be significantly more successful if implemented.

Please tell us.
What would be constructive changes and new concepts?
Name-calling and whining won't cut it.

Time to quietly look at strategic options, combinations and or sale of the company.

I'm not a John Chen detractor like Joey67 by any mean, but as a shareholder, I'm not too impressed with him and the rest of Blackberry's management team when it comes to this latest ER report of 17% slide in the third quarter numbers of the cyber security side of the business. We, (basically shareholders only) and perhaps a few government cyber experts and a couple of Fortune 500 cyber ...more

Dude, please check out the gold standards like Sentinel 1, Palo Alto, and even (I don't call this one gold standard) Crowdstrike.  Then get back to us.

"Dude", I'm not a Blackberry detractor and have been a shareholder for years, but take your blinders off. Gold standard or not, Blackberry is rarely if ever mentioned when cyber security is discussed with the likes of companies like Sentinel 1, Palo Alto, Crowdstrike, and others are. Why IS THAT?????

IF, you've been watching BB for 10 years as I have, you would know that it is a feared and hated company because it can't be manipulated like the rest of the pile.  iPhones are mainly used for tracking.  You can't do that with Blackberry.  Did you ever use BBM?  Unreal, and secure.  Gone. They tried to blow it off as a phone company, serious attacks, and when ...more
