Thanks!]]> After rising nearly 13% at the open following better than expected Q1 revenues with a jump in subscribers to its premium service, Pandora (P -4.2%) shares moved too far too fast before falling amid questions about the quality of its results.

Still don't think the company deserves to be bashed. Track record of Google doing better than others simply by creating something similar is pretty poor, actually. Think Facebook-like Google+, Dropbox-like Google Drive. Really, Google never ended up #1 in these. Just as Bing cannot outrun Google in search, I haven't got confidence Google can do better outside of search and Android (but you can't really count Android when there's no monies coming from that, can you?)

In the end, we're just trying to have BlackBerry brand everything BlackBerry, no? QNX's problem is most people do not know it's owned by BlackBerry. BB10's problem is the code is not the same as QNX. And we're getting technical *sigh*

My gripe is that BlackBerry is no good at telling the Americans they've got QNX under their hood. Maybe that will stop the shorting.

Knowitall is a Nokia fan. And I'm a Nokia and BlackBerry shareholder... used to be a fan of both. Kinda zoned out on both of them... both stocks are out of life support/ out of the emergency room but still in critical condition LOL. Peace to all!]]> Fri, 24 May 2013 01:44:05 -0400

Stocks under $5 are risky -- depending largely on your timeframe and cashflow. It's fine to hold if you believe it will be around 5 years from now. If you expected immediate appreciation, this is where the headache comes in. Diversify and also at all times, know that you are not buying a GIC or government bond. The risk with stocks is always the possibility of a big zero. So spread your money out (doesn't mean a bank won't fail and a GIC won't be a zero or a government won't fail either... but, anyways! back to stocks...)

Personally, I have been adding to my holding of NBG. If it goes up, great, if it wants to sit there for a very long time, I'm ok with it.

To be honest, when I first got in to this stock, it was probably $1.50. All it did was go down and freak me out. It went down to 80 cents or so. I thought it would be a zero. It was depressing because for this stock, I did not go in anticipating a zero. Because it's Greece's largest bank, I classified it as a zero-risk turnaround subject to a big zero only if the country became socialist or communist or something like that. And the lowest I expected it to go was $1.25 or so.

Needless to say, my approach to a stock affects my emotional response. I'm sorry to hear you sold at a lost. Only time will tell whether this thing turns out to be a zero or not. I'm in now only because I've been following it with real money now for so long. And because I have managed to make money on it.]]> Thu, 23 May 2013 23:51:04 -0400

No idea if you are going to get the rights if you purchase tomorrow though or the settlement date has to be tomorrow.

What I want to know is if the rights are going to be transferable. Can they be sold to other non-owners? Since the ADR version won't have rights going directly to owners but have rights sold off and then cash dividend directed to us, I wonder what of the Athens version... is it a transferable kind of right or not? Hrmmm... and though we cannot get the rights out west, I wonder if we can buy the rights on the exchange?? Meaning the North American exchange.]]> Thu, 23 May 2013 23:29:54 -0400

My only worry is that NBG becomes OTC. Alpha Bank has a market cap over $1 Billion, though the share prices are under $1. My research on Nasdaq requires a value of $1 million and 750,000 shares. NBG seems to meet that requirement now and in the future. Your thoughts?]]> Thu, 23 May 2013 18:03:14 -0400

If you read the headlines, it says RIGHTS. Then doesn't that mean right to buy more shares at $5.50? (pricing after reverse split?) ok, that doesn't necessarily mean you get that kind of price on the market, right? You'd have to essentially be buying the stock now on the Athens for more than that, and then you'd get the rights.

This means the price as of now will not fall to 55 cents?!?

The body of the news is further confusing as it doesn't give a date for the 1 for 10. Anyone have a Greek version of the news that does a better job than Reuters?? Thanks =)]]> Mon, 20 May 2013 16:32:53 -0400 http://reut.rs/17Vjew4
