maemo.org - Talk - Let's talk Nokia stock!

There is some news.

Nokia is considering a change in strategy.

No, not the way you might have been hoping. They are considering dumping the traditional strategy of selling to as many as possible in as many as possible places in Europe. Instead they want to implement the US strategy that's been so "successful" for them in the US. Pick a few operators and have exclusive partnerships. This is surely an result of moving the "successful" US market director up to global market director. Not at all suited here where we have loads of operators per country.

Should shake the stock down even a few more cents.

Elop has a one-track mind. The US market will not sustain or save Nokia.

Looking like my prediction of a dollar stock by August (I think I said originally end of July) is gonna happen.

Atari was better than Amiga ....

Anyway, this thread is pointless

The point is that we really don't know what was going on behind the curtains, and what numbers they truly had, read and acted upon. I suspect that the numbers were bad, and board approved Elop's burning platform. In retrospect, the burning platform letter was stupid, but he was following 101 business school class to align everyone in new direction, by telling the people where they were going. We can be armchair quarterbacks here, but we dont have all the info that made the board hire Elop and give him permission to burn the platform.

Hmmm. Exactly what was so difficult to understand in that blog entry? It all makes perfect sense to me. Tomy is deranged, and increasingly so as time passes. I wonder what he says in 1 year :D But, he is not stupid, far from it, only anti Elop to the point of insanity.

Meanwhile, stock is rising in NY :D Helsinki did a recover :D

I got my figures from the financial statements published on NOKIA's own web site.

I'm really not too interested in: 'TA said this but previously TA had said that'... yawn :rolleyes:

It will be in the extremes in any case.

Wonder what this bit means though:

Carriers getting app revenue, or something else entirely?

Ofcourse they doing an Apple. It worked for Apple to have higher price and start hype of something. And people will be stupid enought to buy it. It has happened before.. MANY times...

Oh no, not the magic-moonbeam-data argument again.

If Elop had any of that he would've shared it with the world by now.

Yes, but thats not an argument for endusers. Endusers doesnt give a **** as long there is apps. And the company is hyped they buy theyr products.

So even if WP is crap people MAY buy it. But question still remains if Nokia will win on the deal. Because I am sure samsung and other will leave Google in the longer run especially if Google continues to shooting itself in the foot buy selling Nexus too lowpriced. That may piss samsung and others of and they will go back to Microshit WP/W8 instead. Wish also will hurt stupid Nokia ofcourse...

All I'm saying his praising seems way overblown looking at the track record of the platform. The only reason it exists today is that MS could afford to pour money in it though it never produced any returns. Be it any other firm (with less money to spend), it would have been scrapped and forgotten ages ago, the firm bankcrupted.
