Regarding IDC forecasting:

“It’s helpful to go all the way back to 2011 and see what IDC believed the 2015 smartphone market would look like,” Heisler writes. “In 2011, IDC’s 4-year projection put Windows Phone marketshare at 20.9%. During the fourth quarter of 2013, Windows Phone sales occupied a 3.2% share. That’s a huge miss, but not nearly as egregious as their prediction that BlackBerry in 2015 would enjoy a 13.7% marketshare. Today, IDC’s marketshare forecast barely touches on BlackBerry as the handset maker’s marketshare is now, by IDC’s own estimation, at 0.6%. A lot can happen in four years.”

Don't invest based on IDC's views.
