LOL Kantor you didn't know what flamer meant in forum talk?

OT:

ITs being launched next month right, so there;s time till then, thats probably why you got no reply back yet.

BTW I'm curious, by investments do you mean stocks?

Yes stocks. I've only made a few investments in the past, but I want to make bigger ones in the future. It's easy to see long before a game is released, if it will be a good quality one. Batman for instance by RockSteady studios. Had I invested in Rocksteady, I could have returned double my dollar. Apple grew 1,000 times since 2001, and I knew the ipod was going to be big. Had I invested in Apple in 2001, just $1, I would have profited $999 now. Imagine what a $1,000 investment would have made. Realistically I would have invested in Apple in 2004, but still! I think thats still a 10-50x growth (Haven't seen the chart in a while).

You'd have about $36 not $1000 if you had invested one dollar in Apple ten years ago.  After trading fees and taxes you'd probably come out with about $10.  Of course when you're actually trading decent amounts the transaction fees are more negligible.  Also if you had invested before the stock tanked in 2000 you wouldn't have recovered your initial investment for about four years.

Also I don't think Rocksteady is publicly traded.

My point with Rocksteady was that if you find a new or unheard of developer like that, which is publicly traded, ca-ching! I don't do stocks to make a fortune, just for fun, and I want to get more into it. If it can pay for my video game expenses, I'll be more then happy.
