BlackBerry BBRY shot sharply higher yesterday following a <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/14/us-blackberry-m-a-samsung-exclusive-idUSKBN0KN2FW20150114">Reuters article</a> that Samsung (OTCMKTS:&nbsp;SSNLF) was in discussion to offer $13.35 to $15.49 for the smartphone maker. Since closing yesterday at $12.60, both BlackBerry and Samsung have denied the rumor.

	&nbsp;

	That erased the gains in BlackBerry &ndash; sending the stock to $10.55, 16 percent lower, in premarket trade.

	&nbsp;

	J.P. Morgan&rsquo;s Rod Hall said today in a note that there is &ldquo;some strategic logic&rdquo; to the deal, which would give Samsung enterprise smartphone and messaging capabilities and sales. However, he said that barring a takeover, he sees BlackBerry as a difficult stock to own &ndash; at least until more evidence of BES 12 adoption emerges.&nbsp;
