I would like to thank Nintendo today. I sold my stock I bought in February netting a $300 profit on principle. I consider a 20% gain on two month investment as good deal.

Congrats. Plus you get a dividend ;)

Do I?  Did not think I would with short range of owning it.  For 100 shares what should I expect then?

12.50$ - Dividend ex-date was March 31st, you are good! You rich bitch :P

when do we get the actual results?

I didn't think Nintendo was giving a dividend this year since their #'s weren't good. I thought that was announced at the last shareholders meeting.

BTW I have put in $24,000 over the course of the last year ranging from 12.44 to 18.81 and everything in-between. Today's jump was very nice. I'm only around $500 in the hole now. I really wish I would have waited until it hit rock bottom at around $12/share and bought everything then, but at the time I thought $18 was rock bottom. Oh well, I still am confident I can make a good $5,000 to $10,000 return by summer 2014 sometime. The price would only have to get to around $19/share for my investment to reach $30,000. That would be a $6,000 profit. I would be happy with that over the course of 2 years. It would allow me to pay off my house. I'm silently hoping it will get up to around $25/share by then. I think it can get there once Mario, Mario Kart, and who knows what other heavy hitters come out for the WiiU later this year. Plus Nintendo's profit margin's on each system sold will only get better from here on out and the weak yen is looking great. I think even with a small price drop this holiday season on the Wii U and 3DS Nintendo will still be getting a good profit on the 3DS, and they will start making money on each WiiU sold around that time or maybe early 2014. Plus new Pokemon and Monster Hunter 4 = huge sales for 3DS hardware and software. Anyone else think it can get to the mid 20's by the middle of next year?

Cover the trading fees, so that's nice.  I generally don't look to tech for dividends (energy, tobacco and pharma are good places for that).

What kind of dividend should I expect this year? I have 1575 shares.

What about next year if Nintendo does meet their  1 Billion profit. What would you think the dividend might be with those kind of #'s?

Yup we do get a dividend of 100 yen per share - NTDOY is 1 of 8

Nintendo should do good numbers this year. Their software line-up for 3DS is impressive to say the least. If Nintendo is able to revitalize the Wii U, maintain 3DS strong momemtum, and the yen to their advantage, I would envision Nintendo to be at 20$ by year-end. I ain't selling yet. I got 10k in them and believe they will be able to achieve the 1 Billion Yen profit.

You should expect 195$ minus 20% fees.
