Damn. Blackberry got mentioned in passing during something I watched on Netflix It's a movie that came out a week or so ago called Time Cut about a high school student that goes back in time to stop a serial killer from killing her sister in 2003.

So anyway the not yet dead sister asks the time traveling sister if she should invest in Blackberry when finding out her time traveling sister is from the future. TTS said "Definitely don't do that.". Ouch...LOL.

But clearly that was due to the collapse of the stock when they went out of the cellphone business. But TTS was from 2024, doesn't she know that BB is now in cybersecurity is is poised to be profitable again in 2025? Clearly BB is not spreading the word.

LOL...yeah it's only a movie. But it did get a chuckle out of me so thought I'd share.

I'm a believer still.

I do like the direction that John G. feels the conversation will go. I am looking forward to next year.

Insightful. From John CEO

“This time next year, we'll be having a conversation. What are you going to do with your cash? Are we going to do a buyback? Are you going to do a tuck-in with IoT? Are you going to -- so, that's what I would look for is the good problem of what we're going to do with our cash, getting stable to profitability by taking care of our Cylance and pockets of growth. I'm not going to sit here and say, oh, it's going to be IoT. We know that's a good growth trajectory. Although there are some dynamics that just industry wide, we kind of need to navigate. And on the cyber side, we've got pockets of opportunities there, but really more stability and profitability on the cyber side.

All those things combined, I think we're pretty confident it's not going to be a $2.35 stock price when we're sitting here a year ago -- a year from now because the fundamentals of the company has really changed in a very fundamental way.

Thank you for posting. The Government of Canada specifically saying they support Blackberry
How can we be wrong!?

Staying positive,

I'm not opposed to that idea.

100%
Further to that thought. Perhaps They sell cybersecurity division and plough that money back into their strength - QNX
Up 7% as I write!

QNX continues to dominate.

How can we NOT win - one day!?!?

Listen up Boyz!
Listening to World Wide Exchange this morning. Financial guy was on saying that we will see an explosion in M & A now that Trump won in the areas of AI and, yup you guessed it, Cybersecurity!
If we are profitable in 4th quarter well then………

GLTA

I hear ya, I'm in 7-8 solid companies and their all down?! I guess NVDA,  META and TSLA are carrying the market. But 

We’re down today!?!?
These are times when I question my investment here?
Maybe I can’t see the forest for the trees?
Bummer

GLTA

Thanks for asking mate
Still dallying with insanity LOL
Buying another 1,000 shares at the open

GLTA

One of many great partnerships BB has with major corporations.

Well, well well boyz. The PPS has to catch up to this kind of news - one day

NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB), today announced an expansion of its long-standing collaboration with Intel Corporation that will enable manufacturers to design, build and safety-certify their industrial systems and robotic applications for progression towards

GLTA

Hell no to R/S.   I'm all for a buyback once they are profitable again.   

How's it going Nelson? Just a little set back, we have a bright future here I believe. 

580 million isn't shit, we've all seen stocks go to dollars on much more. Scare tactics are childish crap. 

Let’s go with Buy Back instead

GLTA

“Reverse Split”. Worst 2 wirds in the English language. I suffer PTSD from all my past R/S experiences

GLTU

BB has 589M shares outstanding. Float is 580M. It's trading an average volume of 6.7 million. In Jan of '21 when it hit $28 it traded 2B. It isn't in any index. If any stock needed to reverse split it's this one once its profitable. It's very hard to move a stock with so many shares. It needs big news and/or some heavy lifting. It has eyes and they are both greedy.




Time will tell.

Totally frustrated

GLTA

No problem. The pieces of the puzzle slowly coming together.

Thanks for posting that. I had forgotten
So many threads going on here
I KNOW we’re on the right horse

Brief IH Market News blurb: BlackBerry (NYSE:BB) – BlackBerry opened its Asia-Pacific regional cybersecurity headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The unit includes sales, marketing, threat research, and technical support teams. The initiative follows an agreement with the Malaysian government in November to provide cybersecurity infrastructure and training. Shares rose 0.4% in pre-market trading.

New week, new hopes for BB price to rise.

In between dry heaves did some DD. Just need reinforcement that this investment makes sense. We’re definitely headed in the right direction

Hang in there Nelson, as the kids say "diamond hands" 

Dry heaving!

GLTA

Ughhhh!

Hopefully BB has something big in the works to reveal. Bummed that we can't get past $2.60 these days...uggh. Even Nokia is over $4 something...I kind of consider them both being the same boat.

Sideem Thanks for posting that skinny. Many investment firms adding to their position
Any but of good news and this blows by $3. IMO

GLTA

I'm hoping it'll hit $2.80 by the end of this month. And then keep going.

Seems like a pretty conservative target. I think in the back of everyone's mind is the two magic words BUT OUT! I'm probably delusional but hey a guy can dream. 

https://www.marketbeat.com/instant-alerts/nyse-bb-boost-price-target-2024-10-18/

This was released on the 18th but analysts at Canaccord Genuity Group increased price target from $2.70 to $2.80. I can only assume it's short-term price target.

Yes it was nice to see the price recover from the low and close slightly up.   Let's see what today brings.   

As crazy as it sounds today was a great day! It was down all day but ended up in a soft market
Taking everything we can get

GLTA

That is one professional presentation. This management team seems to be more introspective analytical than the previous team. Focusing investment and energy on the aspects of the company (QNX) that are doing well.
If they are able to sell Cylance and use those monies on their business strengths I’m all for it.
And while they’re at it how about sell the whole company?

GLTA

I always try to think about the thousands of investors/traders who don’t use iHub or think they just know better, retail. Then the insiders/brokers who do know better but are doing daily flips, messing up the pps but making millions for their clients. I figure if the sheep are all on the same page we’ll bank eventually. Just like 48% of America, you can’t fix stupid.

Damn. Not holding
Thought we would convert non-believers
We can’t be wrong, can we?

GLTA

You got it! I like how Marketscanner says totally free then makes you pay $10 for the rest of the article, smh.

Thank you looking 4 a win.

As BlackBerry is currently exploring options to sell or divest its Cylance unit, the potential discount on BlackBerry shares is significant, primarily because Cylance is considered a loss-making division that is dragging down the company's overall profitability, leading investors to potentially undervalue BlackBerry stock until a resolution is reached regarding Cylance's future.

https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/BLACKBERRY-LIMITED-1411475/news/BlackBerry-exploring-options-for-Cylance-business-48091395/

Not able to read marketscreener link that mentions this brief, but it mentions following: -- BlackBerry Brief: "Pending a sale or divestiture of Cylance, the discount on BlackBerry's shares may be sustained in the near-term," according to RBC

Trading day is young but going up so far...woo hoo!

Lots of slides to review in the transcript. It's good to see they are still projecting profitability in the near future.

I listened to some of the conference. When I get a chance will look up the transcript
But from what I heard it sounds like their plan is working. I expect a continuous steady incline
Unless M & A and then ………….
Happy with today not ecstatic
