NASDAQ Active Runners: BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY), Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO), Groupon Inc (NASDAQ:GRPN), Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU)

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) is on the news yet again. This time, it is all for the right reasons. First, nobody thinks that BlackBerry will ever regain the market share it lost during its lean moments. Last year, BlackBerry was in the news quite a lot, where it mostly had to do with who will make a bid for this struggling giant. However, this time round, the company appears to be in good news primarily because of something it has not done. How strange that BBRY is the beneficiary of something that other tech giants have done in different jurisdictions. A deal between Facebook and WhatsApp is benefiting BBRY, more than what anyone imagined.  BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) stock opened at $9.65 in last session, and closed at $9.31, while the day range of BBRY stock is $9.29-$9.74.
