Good news for Blackberry: Someone finally took pity on them and offered a buyout bid.

Bad news for Blackberry: That someone is Samsung.


How's the Canadian government going to react?

My Canadian penny stock (made in Canada) got enough of a lift on news that they were close to developing some cow vaccine or other that I was able to unload 2/3 my shares at a tiny profit.  Unfortunately the loonie has taken a beating since I bought in so I'm still losing money on the deal.  Live and learn.

Market's not reacting to the Fed very well today. Hedges making profit is generally a bad sign I guess.

Why the hell would you be investing in a Canadian penny stock?  The TSX venture exchange is not as properly regulated as it perhaps should be...

I am not sure your comment is correct.  But in any event there are considerably better reasons why someone (and particularly an American someone with currency risk) might be a bit dubious about investing on the venture exchange over the last couple of years.
