You should buy the stocks now, Nintendo are in a very good position going forward and their shares are undervalued due to the quarterly loss they posted.

They posted a loss?

If I recall correctly they made less profit. Loss happens when you don't have a profit and on top of that you even lose money, like Microsft with the Xbox brand till late 2008.

Isn't it?

 

I'm pretty sure they posted a loss, as in no profit, because of exchange rates for the last few years.

Im talking about Nintendo shares on the US market. Current price is about $34, which looks to be a pretty low average price over the last 12 months or so. NTDOY.PK - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=NTDOY.PK

I can't afford Nintendo japan because of their 100 share minimum buy limit (more than 25k worth, which is alot for me).



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I don't think so. Basically what nIntendo have done is parcel off a percentage of their japanese share total into an american fund, which allows you to buy, sell and take a dividend share from Nintendo japan itself.

So its traded in US dollars, BUT its japanese stock. Sorta confusing but def. worth checking out if you're interested.

And whoever mentioned buying BEFORE the 3DS was announced, that short term bump returned back down since March, so now is still a great time to buy the share.

I'm thinking about buying some Nintendo stock soon too. I'd like to see it get below 30 a share though. It closed around 34 today i think.




8th gen predictions. (made early 2014)
PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m
X1: 30-35m
3DS: 80-85m
PSV: 15-20m

I'd love to buy Nintendo stock (in Japan), but the minimum amount you can buy is 100 shares, costing about 28000 US$.

The dividends should be quite high over the next years (if the 3DS is successful).



Need something off Play-Asia? http://www.play-asia.com/

I'm not sure about the whole stock thing, but 3DS will definitely launch in NA first. Just like the Wii, just like the DS.

NTDOY is having a good day, up almost 2%.
