A lot of speculation, not a lot of hope... I can remember when Apple was less than 13.00 USD per share, Gil Amelio was pretty much the worst thing for the company despite being a darling at National Semi-Conductor and returning that company from losses to profitability.

Sounds familiar? Change the names and you got Nokia's current situation almost perfectly.

Mind you, companies cycle up and down. This is a downward spiral at the moment. Who knows what it will take, but should things turn around, it'll be in the very, very long-term where this kind of speculation will be rendered useless and wholly inaccurate.

In fact... it's already quite useless and inaccurate; just echoed a lot more loudly due to things like forums, Twitter, Google+, et al. As it stands, let's just see how things play out.

Calling for the end... too early for that. Even a pessimist like myself can say that with full confidence.
