adapt or dieI got long about 6 weeks ago

Me too... I think when the new non-touch screen model hits the market later this year then the stock will really take off...

JAT, Coatue, Arrowstreet all had huge positions as of most recent 13-F - stock took a 25% hit today, will probably really drag down their returns for the quarter.

Palm 2.0

Just saying

Nvm, if it's Palm 2.0 all the funds must be doing merger speculation expecting HP to buy this thing.

You have to remember a lot of these positions are boxed. Impossible to get borrow on BBRY

Ah thanks, didn't even consider that. Forgot 13-Fs don't disclose short positions.

Sorry, I don't know much about this and you seem relatively knowledgable. Why would a fund create a boxed position instead of just buying put options? What do you mean by impossible to get borrow against BBRY - it's impossible to borrow the shares to short? Thanks for the clarification.

Some funds don't do options or it's just that put options are too expensive/impossible to find due to lack of supply

Borrow cost of blackberry is quite high as there aren't many shares available to short. Something like 30% of shares are already short
