Monday is a holiday in Cyprus, which will slow the run on the banks and give more time to hash out a better tax rate. Luckily there hasn't been reports of the run spreading past Cyprus. There is talk that authorities were hoping to cut the tax to 3.0 percent from 6.7 percent for deposits under 100,000 euros. The rate for deposits above that would then be jacked up to 12.5 percent from 9.9 percent. I sincerely doubt such a deal will be hammered out by the end of Monday. I wish Monday were a holiday over on this side of the pond.

I totally agree. Not to mention BBRY can't afford ANY mistaken information being put out. I hear people complaining that they want more details on numbers. The CEO has been cautious ever step of the way. He knows what he's doing. You folks will just have to be patient.

George - I think when you posted "BlackBerry Needs A Cheaper BB10 Handset And Fast" on the same day AT&T announced the $199 price with a 2 year contract added to the confusion. Maybe they assumed you weren't satisfied with that price point and that you wanted a far cheaper price point, That's what I assumed you meant. It was only after reading the comment section that I found that you were ok with that price.

So they can fight it out with the rest of the fleet? Nah let them fight it out with each other. The last time BBRY tried to contort to the whims of the consumer market it almost killed them.

True. Premarkets bids could force the price below your sell order and once the markets opens your sell order won't be triggered. I'm long with BB (like most investor in BB it seems) simply based on it's operating system, it's business focus and it's new management. But I'm not foolish enough to believe there isn't anything out there that could blindside the company. That said, blindsides aren't prejudice to any company,

Robbie, Let me try this a different way. Two part question: 1) When you read "Arcos Dorados (ARCO): Q4 EPS of $0.22 beats by $0.01. Revenue of $1.01B (+5.3% Y/Y) misses by $0.03B. (PR) [Earnings" What do you suppose that means?

Robbie, He is correct. Analysts set the earning estimates. Apple made 50 billion last Q but missed the estimates and only now is the stock starting to recover. Ok there were other factors in the stock decline but that report added insult to injury.

Thanks. It came from me walking in on a conversation. I misheard someone calling someone else a closet iguana. He was actually recommending a hotel in Mexico called Plaza Iguana.
