I've had it in my watch list forever, but no I've never owned it.

That is too speculative for me. Their PE (40-times compared to 17-times for blue-chips) is too high and the dividend has been declining since 2009 (unless I missed a stock split somewhere). The current dividend yield of 11% (compared to 4.5% for the blue-chips) indicates risk and further cuts. It has a decent institutional ownership ratio which is odd. I wouldn't pay more than $10 for the stock.

Well, I sold my shares and bought my first Blackberry: Keyone Black Edition.

Love it. Best phone I've had yet by a mile. The battery life is at least 3 times better than my last phone.

Blackberry seems to make the necessary changes. The stock actually came up. Not $20/share like it was promised to us by a certain broke financial advisor, but I think it went up 20-25%.

Still have your Keyone?
I was a Crackberry suporter until mine started falling apart.

The quality of their older products was really quite good, and I still prefer the Blackberry 10 operating system over anything else. Too bad it wasn't supported by more companies

Oh, as a testament to the old BB quality.
I still have 2 playbooks, and use them quite often.
I have gone through at least 3 phones and 2 Android pads during this time, including my Keyone.

Still have my ketone, and I've dropped it on the concrete a dozen times, including once where it bounced out of my pocket when riding my bicycle. Of course, the key is having the protective case and screen protector. My 4th screen protector is cracked up real good, but underneath is crackless.

May be if you were buying more phones, they'd be in a better shape.

I sold all my stock yesterday.

Kidding, but I keep thinking about doing so since I've lost about 3 grand on that "investment." I bought at like 12 dollars per share so at 6 bucks I was down half. Looks like I could almost break even now.
