Today is may 15, wednesday
We have ZNGA Zinga up 6.5% at 3.55$
NOK Nokia up 2.5% at 3.73 (I called this last night, see previous post)
NTDOY Nintendo up 6.15% at 14.33
SNE Sony down 1.1% (expected after bump yesterday)
AMD amd up 2.7% at 4.38$
Konami down by the same 1.1% as SNE (had the same 11% boost yesterday, strangely)
And Activision, which was up 6% today at 15.55, which then plummeted within 5 minutes to being 1.25% down at 14.95$. This was a very strange fluctuation where somewhere in the range of 2m trades were sold near simultaneously. Very strange activity. Yahoo message board is calling it a "pump and dump", which artificially boost the price through many trades over the course of some time, bolstering other investors to get involved, and then dumping everything all at once.
Still not sure what happened though.
Closing time
ZNGA held up at 4.34% up (+.14)
Take2 down 1.24% (-.21)
Squeenix SQNXF down 2.36% (-.31)
NOK up 3% (+.11)
Nintendo up 6.22% (+.84)
AMD up 2.82% (+.12) (heavy resistance at 4.40$)
Sony and Konami both down ~1.3%
Kind of an off day for the gaming stocks. Nintendo obviously the winner today while most everything else went down.
