Another way to expand uses of VG$--VGC portfolios anyone? |
I apologize for not explaining myself
Even though I see the convenience of having a site dedicated to track the stocks of game companies, I prefer them to be on a different site than this one due to several reasons including:
- Stock tracking would also mean stock analysis which are way different than the analysis that The Source and others provide, and to back up these analisys financial news are needed as well, because many factors influence the sctock value.
- The great mayority of users are interesting in consoles and games sales data, which is a high value this site has and we all appreciate. Stock tracking is a different game and I see little value here for very few will use the info properly.
- If fanboys cannot dig something as simple as games sales data, now imagine this. I expect the ammount of nonsense to multiply to OMG proportions
- This site is related to games, not to stocks
So instead of a strock tracking, I think an artcile every quarter or semester with easy-to-digest summary and analysis is a better choice and can be more educational to those that want to be in the game someday
