    Will Nokia survive as an independent company?

    Here's a graph of the past few years... and the drop today.

    I feel kind of sorry for all the people whose pension funds are in there.

    There are rumors that MSFT will buy them by the end of 2011... what do you think?

          I'm guessing that they will limp along for another year or two, then they will sell off their feature phone business to the Chinese and their smartphone business to MSFT.
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            Bought by a Chinese firm eventually.

              Inst. own 9%
              yikes.

              That's an order of magnitude less institutional ownership than competitors like Motorola and RIMM

                Nokia's CEO came from Microsoft. Interesting. Looks like MSFT takeover it is.

                  The blogosphere call him "Microsoft's trojan horse".

                  It's amazing how inert Nokia is. I mean, they have yet to produce a competitor
                  for the iPhone, not to mention build a tablet.

                  Samsung managed to do both. They had an iPad competitor within a year, and
                  their Galaxy line of phones sells very well.

                  Meanwhile, Nokia is literally struggling with firmware updates for their flagship N8.
                  Sad.

                    Yeah looks like MSFT is eying Nokia.

                      Which doesn't mean much, as RIM is on the same path.

                          Super Citizen kiss of death. The funniest thing I heard was a newscaster on the radio calling them a Swedish company.

                            Yeah but it says a lot about what sort of confidence the big movers have in Nokia.

                              They will survive. They're Finnish.
