By then it was unclear if stocks would jump. This jump isn't too big but it does hint at great beginnings. |
It's never really "clear" what's going to happen on the stock market. That's why investing in a single company is so risky. Nintendo's stock could just as well plummet over the next month as it could skyrocket.
Anyone who was actively looking to invest in a company and not just jumping aboard whatever seems to be doing well would have been paying attention for the past month, seen that Nintendo's press event was approaching, and decided either to invest or not to invest. Investing in a stock that shows no direct signs of recent growth is a bit of a leap of faith, but that's what investing is. It's a risky business.
tl;dr, buy low, sell high. Those who bought two weeks ago bought lower than those who are buying now, so they stand to profit more. Two weeks ago was the time to buy to maximize profits.
