Nokia had the smartphone business in the "palm" of their hands, a monopoly and their lack of innovation blew it. Now MSFT is buying another dog. What a waste of MSFT "shareholder" money. Then again anyone owning that value trap never heard of Kodak or the like.
msft was always paired w nok though, never a legitimate chance that they bought bbry, though there are plenty of other candidates reminaing who could be a stretch but not a surprise

ReplyDeleteMust be nice to know things with such certainty!
ReplyDeleteI have no position in Blackberry. The last time I had one was short- 65 dollars to 35 on the way down.

In those days Microsoft might have paid $30 a share for the company.
No more. No need.
I didn't realize they still were in play
ReplyDeletePity poor Fairfax.
