right now, it's hard for blackberry to -- look, blackberry is trying to get traction.oth blackberry and microsoft are fight to go be the third system that competes with apple and google's android. and if they can't get apps for the developers, it's not appealing to the consumers. people are bricking the device they want to work. so if you can't get the consumer market, it's hard to get traction overall. >> it's interesting, though, because people were so quick to write the company off entirely. you think back to last summer, just how negative attitudes have turned. a battle for third place frankly by comparison doesn't sound too bad. what are the prospects for 2013? >> it's hard to say again. if blackberry 10 is okay, it could maybe generate earnings. you could have some temporary upside. the tricky thing is, does blackberry tend -- that echo system get traction? if it can, you have to ask yourself, is this company going -- in five years? if it's not, is this going to be another palm? you're discounting a lot of catch flows and if your competition isn't going through t

for blackberry. research in motion, better known as rim, has been struggling mightily to maintain market share against the iphone. the race to the top spot in car sales is becoming more competitive. currently, general motors is in the lead, but toyota is coming on strong and so is volkswagon. based on gm's track record of overproducing cars then offering incentives to clear out showrooms, coming in second is not that bad accoridng to joe wiesenfelder of cars.com. "it might seem like they are losing by going to 2nd or even 3rd place, but in reality if they are giving more incentives to raise sales numbers, it's not necessarily a good long- term strategy." globally, sales of cars and trucks in 2012 are expected to exceed 80 million, making it a record year. the largest demand is for fuel-efficent vehicles. a buyout is brewing at caribou coffee. the minneapolis-based coffee chain is being taken private. a german holding company plans to shell out $324 million for the buyout, and will pay $16 per share.

so the transition period from blackberry 7 to blackberry 10 is going to be probably one and a half to>> that introduces another problem. my analysis is r.i.m. subscri r subscriber's number will have to come down because it lags the device sales. device sales are down by more than half year over year. and as that comes down, so does service revenue. something hines didn't fully address. >> thank you very much, jon fortt. >>> we now have confirmation that the president as expected is going to nominate john kerry, the senator from massachusetts, democratic nominee in 2004, as secretary of state to replace hillary clinton. this has long been speculated that he would be this choice. especially since susan rice, the u.n. ambassador who ran into a lot of criticisms from republicans over the benghazi matter, had taken herself out of the running. so pretty much john kerry was the only candidate. the question is, what happens to the rest of the national security team. i haven't gotten any word yet as to whether there is a defense secretary replacement for leon panetta, but we do know john kerry

blackberry wants to make a comeback with the blackberry 10 scheduled for release january 30th, a yearical impasse in washington is really thwarting what could otherwise be an economic renaissance in america. americans are feeling more confident and they're spending more. 2013 could be the start of a real economic renaissance that leads to a new boom in prosperity in america. that's kind of pathetic when things start to look good for the new year, our politicians are callous enough to start it with a fiscal disaster that could push us back into a recession. happy holidays, washington. for more in depth coverage of the issues, tune into "your money" at saturday at 1:00 and sunday at 3:00 p.m. eastern. i'm out. 315 horsepower. what's that in reindeer-power?

the tricky thing about this for r.i.m., likely toibt tone and details around blackberry 10.'m hearing, r.i.m. might not be shipping you blackberry handsets based on the new operating system for a month or so after the actual announcement >> i wonder whether analysts are overly optimistic about the uptick for the february quarter. another tricky thing for r.i.m., torston hines says phones with blackberry 7, current os, will represent the vast majorities of shipments for several quarters after the launch in part because of a manufacturing ramp and the firsthand sets too expensive to be in reach for much of r.i.m.'s install base f r.i.m. is managing its workforce cuts effectively, discounting legacy phones enough to avoid losing too much share but not too much, hey, they still got a fighting chance. they have got a heck of challenge from the i phone 5 and android phones out there everyone loves an underdog, right? right you carl? >> depends. it depends on which way the stock's moving. that's for sure, jon. jon ford joining us from san hose >>> from apple tv to row kurk the way

whoever thought blackberry would come back, but it has. liz: at least for the moment, dow not coming back, 72.s down on the day, starting in the green by a tiny bit, but the markets started to the upside, crossed the line 30 times, and at 11:30 a.m. eastern, boehner came out, said spending's the issue. the president's not listening. it basically ruined the marks as you see. s&p couldn't gain here, down eight points. david: looking at the negative numbers, imagine what they would be if the fed did not do the money printing. a lot worse than it was today. could have been worse. facebook, when the market is in the red, facebook in the green, today is not an exception. today, a big bump, over 2% bump. tomorrow, of course, is the third lock up, another 156 million shares of facebook coming online, previous times when that's happened, we saw the stock jump as it did today. liz: right. everybody expected it to fall, it didn't. we're watching that. when apple falls on iphone estimate cuts, so do the component suppliers, the so-called halo effectin

if there's a takeover, does that mean blackberry continues?'s the long-term outlook for the company? >> i would suspect that if you're a blackberry user, there's very little chance that your service is going to be cut off. that is a key cash flow driver for the company and anybody who would want to buy isn't concerned about the cash flow stream. if you are a user, you'll be able to upgrade to these new devices, if you're a consumer, anyway, pretty easily. for a business, it will be more difficult. >> despite all of this is thoughts, they risk/reward scenarios that don't look all that great for reading through what you're saying on this, you did upgrade rim from an underperform to a hold and you raised the price target from $10 to $5. why is that? >> well, when we first had our underperform rating, the chance of a success or the support we thought was virtually nil. and then in early november, we started doing carrier survey work around the world. was stunning. we came back with 40 or 50 carriers saying they were going to actively push this dev

i have two blackberries sitting in front of me. you think that rim's trivials will not change. >> i think they buy him as a take under. there's a few things that could happen here with rim. they could come out and get a big pop where everybody thinks they're doing good. >> when the blackberry 10 comes out. >> but i don't believe that will happen. even if it does, they continue to burn cash. they don't have cross platform utilization. if that does happen, it's in the 15 to 17 range. i don't think that will happen. otherwise you'll get an asset sale. i think microsoft will come in for the patents, enterprise user software, and the users to continue to roll it under them and grow. >> so you don't see rim as an ongoing concern continuing in its current form. >> i think rim in its current form is dead. >> wow. that's a strong prediction. i want to throw in another of my predictions. microsoft will lose relevance because it's fighting too many losing battles in too many sectors. do you think getting rim under its stable is going to be ab
