Ok...
so I am the new Nokia CEO..
what is my strategy?

First ...buy as much nokia stock as possible ....personally...

Spend a bit of coin...and do a massive ad campaign..
promoting the new device ...the must have successor to every conceivable previous Nokia device.
the brand new Nokia N1000
Otherwise known as "the Kitchen Sink Phone"
(comparable to the well known Homermobile...)


Stock increases...
pay modest dividend to shareholders..

Then ..
Hire the finest minds ...
and the greatest labs filled with the best equipment...

Do yet more advertising how fandabulous the device will be...

Stock increases
pay modest dividend to shareholders..

Then ...Encourage everyone to throw all their money at the funding kickstarter ..

Do some promotional work showing the advancements made...

Stock increases ..
pay modest dividend to shareholders..

Do a heart warming promo pitch and get an invalid wheelchair confined terminally ill young kid ...and promote how the device will not only be a blessing to humanity and how it will change Little Tiny Tim's life...but also state that when the device is finally completed "with your generous support" ....then Little Tiny Tim will get the first device...
Big "Awwww" how cute moment ...
Excellent publicity ...
Even more people invest in the N1000...

Do another kickstarter which is the preorder...

Announce the impending completion and release of the N1000 uber device.

Stock increases through the roof...
pay modest dividend to shareholders..

Everyone dumps their money into orders...and completion of preorders...

Sell all non-essential nokia properties...

Sell all personal nokia stocks...

Fire 98% of all staff...before payday...
preferably before Christmas too if possible..

Return all "rent-to-own" lab equipment...

Kick Little Tiny Tim out of his fancy wheelchair and sell it too...

Funnel all the company funds including orders, preorders and fund raising for the N1000 ...straight into my Cayman Islands bank accounts...

Flee the country to a warm tropical one where there are no extradition laws...

Call up Elop ...
and scream ..."HA! Topped ya! In yur face biatch!!!!!"

hahaha
ahhh...sigh...
I know it sounds pretty heartless...
But in essence the above formula has been going on for a long time now...
and people are still buying into it...over and over again...
with great fervor ...I might add...
