Just need to wait and see if long-term indicators move in favor of Nintendo, and not the mystical voodoo "long-term indicators" that economists believe in, but just look and see if Nintendo will get out of this rut of developing games with limited appeal. That will be the time to buy, because likely things will just continue to stagnate until then

I would really like to buy stock in Nintendo don't have the money to buy some.



people thought they were going away even when they sold huge amounts of consoles so why wouldn't people say it when they lose a little bit of money?

Nintendo is domed and it does not matter what they do.

what Nintendo shouldn't do is listen to some retards who only care about the money they get out of the stock they buy but don't have a clue as to how the gaming market works. "oh look at me i bought stock because i thought the name sounded nice"

I don't think this is the time to invest in Nintendo, one of two things are going to happen

1. Nintendo gets back to making games and gets the 3DS off the ground and wiiU turns out okay and it does almost as good as DS and their stock goes up but not up to former levels

2. Nintendo fails at making a significant amount of games that people care about on their platforms and struggles through this/next gen (however you want to put it) and it's stock slowly falls over the years before they get another chance

right now it could go either way so not the time, apples the one to invest in, Sony if you want higher risk/reward you know the direction they are heading in, but Nintendo you just don't know where they are going and one way is really bad.



While I'm confident that Nintendo's stock will be worth $30 to $40 in a couple years, I'm also fairly sure that Nintendo's stock may be worth $10 to $15 in a couple of months, and I don't think now is the time to buy.

The two things most closely associated with success of a console are being released ahead of strong competition and being the successor to a market leading system. Being released early gives you the advantages of dealing with your mistakes in the absence of competition and allows you to capitalize on the mistakes of your competition. While it is impossible to know at this point in time, it is likely that both the 3DS and Wii U will sell more than 75 Million units each with unprecidented levels of first party software sales, and when more people start to realize this the stock will stop being treated as if Nintendo was going to get pushed out of both markets this generation.

I want to but I cant spare any money right now. Plus I dont know much about stock.



i'll always be a fan, and as a business major i'll say they have another problem in the Wiiu but i have faith in that product but i recommend caution.



Just to put some numbers to this thread:

from http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlancelw.jsp?passName=NTDOY&passSymbol=NTDOY&isOut=null&sedol=

Stock Price: $18.63
Earnings/Share: $2.71
P/E Ratio: 6.9
Dividend: $0.57
Yield: 3.1%

And, if I'm reading their financial statement correctly and calculating correctly ... Nintendo has around $15 in assets for every one of their $18.63 shares

Really don't know what to say to the bolded part. But, basicly nah, couple of years ago, that was the time.

OT: Owning nintendo shares would be awesome!, but yeah these guys are probably right, price may keep falling.
