GLTA

[Nelson2]

EOD options report....

All opinions and interpretations welcome.

[Sideem]

I second this. Actually trying to learn more about option trading.

[Maniek]

Keep posting please…

[XenaLives]

That is what I'm thinking, but I post the charts so I can examine in retrospect and confirm if my thinking is right or wrong. Just learning here too...

[Nelson2]

I apologize for not understanding the charts
Am I to understand they are betting on an increase in PPS?

Thanks

[XenaLives]

Unusual options activity extends down the line...

[Nelson2]

She continues to hold strong in down days
Now let’s get a good day and see how high this boat goes with the rest as the tide comes in

GLTA

[Nelson2]

Still up on a day like this. This is GOOD

GLTA

[tipsy_too]

Hold on to your hats!!

[XenaLives]

Difficult to interpret. I try to record them so they can be examined if a stock makes a big move.

[Nelson2]

Apparently not the sharpest tool in the box
Cannot interpret chart
I assume increased numbers of investors betting Sell Calls on PPS in short term?

GLTU and thanks for the effort

[XenaLives]

Heavy options activity:

[Nelson2]

$1.59 to buy $4 Strike 01/25??

Have I lost it?

Oh, I don’t think so

GLTA

[Nelson2]

BAM! 4’s it is!

GLTA

[Nelson2]

Now THAT is positive skinny!
Thank you!

Very possible !!!!

[Nelson2]

4’s anyone?

GLTA

[Nelson2]

At this valuation BB isn’t a buyout candidate?

GLTA

[Nelson2]

Greed is good!
5% it is!

GLTU

[Nelson2]

Been saying this since 2014. But one day payday

GLTA

[tipsy_too]

I am happy to make 2% over a couple of days.
I am absolutely exhilarated to make 5%
Rinse repeat.

[Nelson2]

Now tell me we’re crazy to invest here?
Yup, crazy like a Fox
Are we the only few who can see the REAL progress with BB? I mean seriously?!?!



https://www.marketwatch.com/story/blackberry-shares-jump-on-ces-news-of-automotive-technologies-partnerships-11672931946?mod=mw_latestnews

[tipsy_too]

No Cents (forgive the pun) holding when you can sell for profit and buy back later at a lower price.
Doesn't mean they believe BB is good or bad investment.

[Nelson2]

Ok thanks. Will take any glimmer of hope I can get

Institutional ownership has been declining until the last report, now at 47.33%.

https://fintel.io/so/us/bb

Looking at the detail on that page it is nice to see diverse institutional ownership and that BlackRock isn't in a dominant position for a change. It's been a really UGLY year in the market, that seems to be BB's biggest problem.

[Nelson2]

Sorry, I don’t see a meaningful interpretation?

GLTU

[XenaLives]

These charts are informative...

[Nelson2]

Gotta say. DISAPPOINTING day. :(

GLTA

[Nelson2]

From our relationship with Amazon
Ray Charles can see what’s coming here

[anarmyofme]

A good look at BB institutional ownership:

[Sideem]

Oh my....I see BB is busy on the PRs today with some nice news. Maybe some positive price action is in today's forecast. Would be nice.

[Nelson2]

Thank you partner
Wish I could tell you I have had great success with them but…
Hoping this one turns things around for me

GLTU

[dmerc]

Attaboy Nelson!! I know nothing about options, but glad you do!! Somebodys gotta make some $$s here!! lol

[tipsy_too]

Go, BB!!
Go, BB, go!!!

[Nelson2]

Not bragging. But feeling like a GENIUS!

GLTA

[Nelson2]

My $1.50 Strike $3 exp. 01/25 went thru!
It’s going to be a GREAT year!

GLTA

[cuggegrosse]

Great post....Yes absolutely, I love J,C's way of thinking for the company future,we shareholders will be more than happy to wait and see ...GLTY

[Nelson2]

I agree.
Think that if you have been following John Chen here as I have since 2014 you can follow the steady transition from hardware to software company. This is more than taking a floundering business and turning it around while remaining in the same sector. This is a Herculean effort that takes time
You can see him following through on his business plan. Increasing Sales Representatives, selling the patents to utilize those monies to reinvest into cybersecurity and IOT, balancing capex while moving towards profitability, establishing a relationship with Amazon while recently receiving a progress update, establishing QNX in millions of cars(will eventually monetize), having business relationships with all but a couple EV manufacturers, well I could go on and on
The point is there is tangible evidence of progress. One day we will reap the rewards. Patience

GLTA

[cuggegrosse]

Thanks,I shall buy more because it's a gift at these prices...GLTY

[Nelson2]

Good luck to you. Wish I had the dry powder to do it

[cuggegrosse]

I feel so confident that I bought 6k more at $3.19

[cuggegrosse]

2023 will be a much better year for BB I expect a PPs rise between`$ 3,50 to 5 00+ JMHO

[Nelson2]

Interesting. Good luck to you

[cuggegrosse]

I sold a bunch of puts at $3.00 and i feel very good about them,JMHO

[Nelson2]

Yes, I saw that. Buying more call options today
I still don’t believe we’re seeing a mirage in the desert.
In this case believe that while others are fearful…….

[Nelson2]

Looking at $4 strike expiring 01/25 for only $1.20. Really want to wait until 2026 options are available but the risk is the PPS pops before then?
Even still how isn’t the 2025 not a winner?

GLTU
