Okay WealthManager I will have a look. I was just concerned that I have not seen a 920 on display in Phones4U - Carphone Warehouse or Tesco, as I wanted to actually see a working display model to put against the 820 to decide which one I will go for. And just disappointed that these retail outlets seem to display all other flagship models from i.e.. Samsung Apple Sony etc. So wondered what the strategy was by Nok for this lack of exposure in there flagship phone?. by the way I am long Nok.
Can anyone shed any light?. I visited a Phones4U retailers in the UK and to my surprise saw No headings or phones of the Lumia 820 or 920 on display for sale or contract. So I enquired as one does lol.
And was told by the sales assistant that they had none in store but I may be able to purchase on there online store, and was told the reason they were not stocking them was there is new models on the horizon ??. I was on the understanding that this company had a exclusive deal with Nokia in UK.
Interesting article Charles, I still think patience is required and NOK will come right. I personally think the shares will gain traction by the end of the year an beyond. :-) long Nok
Nokia (NOK) and Siemens (SI) each have the freedom from today to whatever they want with their 50% stakes in their Nokia Siemens Networks joint venture without the other firm having a veto. Siemens plans to exit NSN this year, although what Nokia will do is more uncertain. At the moment, the once perennial loss-making NSN is Nokia's bright spot and helps mitigate the problems at its handset unit. [View news story]

A strike by fast food workers in New York City could have broad implications with the group's lofty goal to see a 107% pay raise up to $15 per hour. What to watch: Though historically the high turnover rate in the QSR industry has kept labor disruptions to a minimum, unions of foodservice workers have strengthened since 2009 and could take a small bite out of the sector's margins.

Well a strike would not be all bad' it may introduce crap food lovers to making there own healthier meals lol.. Health benefits and may make your tax dollars go further.

Harvest Natural Resources (HNR) +10.7% AH in reaction to reports of Hugo Chavez's death. HNR recently had 77% of its assets in Venezuela, which doesn't look likely to change soon after Indonesia's Pertamina recently scrapped its plan to buy HNR's Venezuelan assets.[View news story]
Yes interesting times indeed Pollyserial I still think there worth more than $10 or am I hoping lol, still holding 50%, sold half my holdings at just under $10 so what I have left is virtually a free shot so costing me nothing to see where this goes.
I do try to achieve that goal with all my holdings i.e. NOK, AOL etc. Then I try and be very patient and wait for a nice gain and my portfolio builds up a nice diverse pot over the medium term. Well that's the plan and has served me well in the past.

Pres. Obama isn't a fan of patent trolls. "They are essentially trying to leverage and hijack somebody else's idea and see if they can extort some money," Obama stated during a Google+ hangout. He added, "Our efforts at patent reform are only about halfway to where we need to go." The remarks come as the DOJ and FTC hold hearings on patent trolls, and an appeals court debates whether software should be patentable. Some IP holders accused of being patent trolls: ACTG, VRNG, RMBS, VHC, IDCC, WILN. [View news story]
Well I suppose if any of the company's mentioned in the article above make a profit they will be contributing to the country in taxes. And if they had the foresight to purchase or create a unique idea with dollars or time or both and patent it, why should they not profit from it, regardless of who or how they own the patent rights. What's good for one should be good for all big or small right or wrong owner of the patent :)..
