Short Blackberry (After It Doubles) [View article]
Why would a trader or an investor would do that the opportunity cost is prohibitive, I much rather get marging on those shares and cost average on the way down, this strategy has given better returns over time. Remember with most brokers you lost marging features in your account if you hold certicates.

BlackBerry: Why The CEO Dismissing The Future Of Tablets Is Concerning [View article]
The driving force behind the future profits of any tech firm is Innovation, and is encouraging to hear that BBRY has something different to offer in the back burner, whether If that is succesful or not only time will tell, this is why Apple despite being the best company with the best products and the best balance sheet has fallen from $700 to 400$, the market doesn't see that driving force to support a $700 price. And what thorsten is doing with BlackBerry is what you want to see from any tech CEO; looking for the next thing that will disrupt the industry.

Thanks for the article, I think you are right is all very familiar the timing of this bear reports with no facts behind them is very convinient for speculators trapped in short positions, nevertheless, the market seems to be taking less into account reports coming from this sources, e.g a previous well known biased report like this caused a plunge of 10% in a single Day I expectativas the stock to recover los ground today.

true, but you need to take into account the fact that huge amounts of gas and oil have been found in the US,this will make the country energy independent in less that 10 years, this is going to make oil prices go down hard within this time frame, ever wonder how this is going to affect profitability of oil companies used to sell oil at an average of $90.
BBRY press realease: "These materially false and misleading comments about device return rates in the United States harm BlackBerry and our shareholders, and we call upon the appropriate authorities in Canada and the United States to conduct an immediate investigation. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about the merits of the many competing products in the smartphone industry, but when false statements of material fact are deliberately purveyed for the purpose of influencing the markets a red line has been crossed."

An Explanation For BlackBerry's Short Interest Spike [View article]
George what is really interesting about the short interest in blackberry and you did not mentioned on your article is the fact that short interest and the stock price of Blackberry are having a positive correlation (both rising) since November 2012.
research has shown that short interest rises when the stock price declines, as of now please correct me if Im wrong there is no research that shows that an increase in trading volume causes and increase of this caliber in short interest, therefore, your explanation for the spike in short interest does not seems to be a likely answer for the spike in short interest, perhaps some may argue that the cost of options has more to do with it or that may be there are dark and powerful forces with a hidden agenda behind this spike in short interest like Samsung or Microsoft using their cash piles not only to short blackberry but also to trash it on financial media. However,I don't think that is the answer neither. If someone looks for stocks that have experienced positive correlation of stock price and short interest and see what this stocks had in common the right answer can be found.

Great article, I think you nailed it, at this moment in time is way to expensive to hedge a long position using puts because of the high volatility sometimes the premium is $ 0.50 - 0.60 on the $14 march 22nd put, which can cost investors nearly 5% to protect 100 shares for less than 2 weeks, whereas if an investor short the stock in order to hedge the cost is 8% per year.
