If you're looking to waste money, you can always invest in Pongo's expedition to conclusively prove the shape of the earth.

Not even Africans want Blackberry. The perceived value is because they have a very low cost phone. But its total junk and even the 3rd world knows it. Blackberry will fold. then I could lose all my money!  :o

You realize they have a 6 billion dollar market cap, right?  They aren't going anywhere.  You know what, nevermind, invest in whatever you want.  I don't think you actually came here looking for reasonable advice.  You wanted to toss out a ridiculous idea like Microsoft and then argue any suggestions people put forward.  Have fun with that.
Don't sulk. I just don't like Blackberry as an option. They aren't trying to do anything new. They still keep pushing out those stupid phones with a hard keyboard. Smart phones have taken over and they aren't making good ones.

Have you considered video game companies like Valve?
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

A good suggestion, but I need to consider companies that are actually listed.

What?

Your statement is a good indication that you should just buy an equities index.  You're obviously not going to do any market research on the companies you want to buy (or don't want to buy), and I'm not sure how you could possibly make an informed decision that way, let alone get 10% ROI by blindly picking a company that you think sounds 'hot.'  That said, Blackberry would actually be a decent pick.

Blackberry is all but exiting the smart phone market under the direction of their new CEO, and it's returning its focus to what Blackberry has always done well: software.  They have a new CEO, a new direction for the company, no debt, and they're already profitable again after the collapse of their share of the smart phone market.  If you believe at all in the ability of this company to be profitable as a software company, then this is as good a time to buy as any with the stock price so low.

BlackBerry is trading at a historically low price to earnings ratio, hovering at roughly 4.6. The company has found itself at an inflection point, one that will determine its fate. BlackBerry pulled itself out of severely negative profitability, picked up a new CEO, and found itself a new direction. It seems like a lot is hinged on John Chen, who seems competent and confident in his company's product line. I don't want to say BlackBerry is a buy, but if you believe in John Chen and his idea for BlackBerry inhabiting a security niche, then I would say that it's a good time to enter the stock.

If you're looking for massive gains then gamble on penny stocks (I hear Colorado weed stocks are popular right now). If you're looking for long term value go for a company that you know will stick around for a long time.
