LOL No I am not a Blackberry employee or anything, I am just a big fan of their story. I probably should be getting a royalty for all the PR I give them to friends and family. I am in real estate and food service business myself.
If you know Blackberry fans, they are fairly hardcore regarding their phones and their love for the company and I guess I fall into that group. Carrying a Blackberry in 2018 is recipe for ridicule for a lot of us so I like to kind of help change the narrative.
Without sounding like I am giving another plug but I was sitting around the bar with some friends the other day, everybody talking about how their stock portfolios are getting either hammered or skyrocketing with bitcoin, weed stocks, tech etc.
I piped up that Blackberry was one of the best performing tech stocks in 2017 and so far in 2018, up over 75% and everybody looked at me like I was an idiot. "Isn't Blackberry dead?" they ask "No, their CEO is giving the opening remarks and announcing a new product at the North American International Auto show" I mentioned.
Since the thread topic had a Blackberry story to be told, I included the link.
