Q: re: BBRY... Just read an article as I have been watching BBRY and Mr. Chen' actions very closely. Things appear to be starting to change and BlackBerry announced some very prestigious customers upgrading to BES10 and to BB10 devices. BlackBerry also announced that BBM will be made available for Nokia's (NOK) X platform and Microsoft's (MSFT) WP8. So now BBM will be available for every smartphone platform. And Ford (F) has officially decided to drop Microsoft and use BlackBerry's QXN solution, to power its Sync mobile-phone multimedia software beginning in 2016. Now that BBRY bankruptcy seems to be in the past and with new management starting to get rolling, the writer posted a target of $18 - $20 for this year.

Can you comment on this and what you think BlackBerry' future looks like in your opinion?

Thank 5i

Q: I bought Blackberry on the way down over the past few weeks to average down cost per share and thus my potential loss if the $9.00 per share offer worked out. We now know the sale to Fairfax didn't happen. Would it be wise for me to now sell all of my stock, and wait 30 days to get the tax loss, and re-evaluate at that time if I even dare to entertain owning shares in Blackberry ever again? Surely even if Mr Chen is a miracle worker it would be unlikely to happen that fast. comments please

Q: I'm curious of your thoughts on a base for Blackberry. I understand the company does not have a direction, but I am curious as to your calculations to it's "true" base, based on assets and market position. At some point there is a line that if it goes below, it makes sense to invest I would think? Thanks.

Q: BB

I see that TD Waterhouse has a Book Value on BB @ $18.89 - shares closed @ $9.30 today. Does Book Value mean that if the company was sold it's assets would be worth $18.89/share. If that is the case wouldn't it be a good idea to keep my shares and hope for either a big turn around or a sale. BB is 2% of my portfolio.

Thank You

Q: Peter,

Curious for your thoughts on RIM as a small speculative / 'gamble' buy at these current levels? Nothing wild, just a 2-3% holding for 1-2 years as they figure themselves out... my train of thought is that this company will either: 1. miraculously make it, 2. Become a best in class software company, or 3. Breaks it apart and sells everything. Any scenario should equate to more than $10.66 / share for investors, no? These markets seem to overreact on everything these days, and I’m thinking the same may have occurred here, or do you think there will be a better entry point in the next 90 days? Thanks!
