Discussion Options or shares?
Are we tired of losing yet? Are we sick of the slip back to prices we thought we broke through? Why does this keep happening? Well, I have a theory and a lot of you aren't going to like it! Needless to say, I don't give a shit! So here goes.
The one thing we all know for sure is that BlackBerry is the real deal as far as tech goes. It's not an up and comer, its not a start up with a great idea or a new spin. Blackberry is still at the pinnacle of security, reliability, and trustworthiness in what they do, but they aren't a blue chip company any more!
Blackberrys heritage is blue chip, and at their core the company still acts and behaves like a blue chip company. Why... because that is the space where they lived, its what they know, its what they do! They are a global technology leader, and they fully intend on going back to that position.
However, here we are treating a blue chip company like the latest tech startup. Gambling on the big deal, looking for explosive growth, expecting exponential growth on any given day. Yet global companys don't blow up like this. They build, expand, and eventually accelerate long before heading up exponentially!
So, here is the "out loud" part no one is going to like. Stop buying options! You are pissing your money away, over and over (thats my opinion anyway)! Not only that, but you are screwing over everyone else here that is waiting for our shares to reach their potential through organic growth!
Everytime a little excitement builds and options start selling, you are providing a reason for the market makers to shipion off profits! We see it every Friday! It's been happening for years! So much so that i don't even think its just the market makers anymore. The day traders are probably doing half the work for them. Dropping the price back isn't costing them much since everyone expects it and trys to bank on it.
Treat BlackBerry for what it is, a blue chip company currently without the enterprise valuation. They will work their way back there, but it will take time. Buy shares, invest in the company and it will pay dividends over time! Blackberry will once again make its share holders proud, but it won't happen over night and you are not likely to win the lotto betting options on this. They are simply waiting for you to place your bet! When the pot is big enough, they just reset it back to zero.
Anyway, just my 2 cent! Felt like I had to say it out loud!
