Is Elop Really This Delusional?
Authored by: DannyB on Wednesday, January 30 2013 @ 01:00 PM EST
No. Not delusional. Perfectly sane. Elop is doing exactly what Microsoft wants him to do. It is someone at Microsoft who is delusional to think that Windows Phone 7 and later Windows Phone 8 weren't bad enough to successfully sink whatever hardware was weighted down with them.

Is Elop Really Mining Gold?
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, January 30 2013 @ 01:25 PM EST
From a comments to the article called "vladkr":

*******************************************************
If one buys Nokia shares just after Elop Osbourns Lumia 710/800/900 at 1.32 Euro
each, can sell them when Nokia announces a new Pureview Device (Lumia 920), when
the share reaches 2.7 Euros but before Nokia informs the 920 will be released
only 3 months later, in some countries (1.92 Euros - buy) and then sell again
when Nokia announces Q4 results are not as bad as expected.

So, if one invested 132,000 Euros in July (100,000 shares), (s)he doubled the
pot in the end of August : 270,000 euros (that's 138KEuros earned in 1.5 month,
doing nothing).

If the same person invested again these 270KEuros in the beginning of September
- 1.82Euros/share, (s)he would have bought 148,352 shares, which in mid January
(not that bad Q4 press release) were valued at 3.5 Euros = a total of 519,230
Euros.

So in less than 6 months, a trader who invested 132,000 Euros earned 387,230
Euros, doing absolutely nothing.

Imagine that people like Elop and friends can invest 10x, 100x these values
(through ghost-companies), you can imagine easily how much they could earn in
just 6 months with this little game.
******************************************************

Interesting perspective

The Windows Phone sales doubled ...
Authored by: argee on Wednesday, January 30 2013 @ 03:38 PM EST
I was sitting at the local Cafe, kibitzing with my friends
about 4 months ago.

There, on a nearby table, I espied a Lumia Phone! So, we
asked the lady to show it to us. She did. I will not
comment on how satisfied she was, or how impressed we were.

Now, 4 months later, just *yesterday*, there, on a nearby
table there was a SECOND person with a Lumia! By golly!
Their sales doubled, I thought!

But, come find out, this new person bought it cheap from
the first one. :-(
