I want it to drop 99%, then I want to win the lottery, and then I wish to invest my money into Nintendo.

 

God owes me this one. Come on baby.

Good luck with that.



Above: still the best game of the year.

Sounds like a good time for a share buyback.  Nintendo routinely does this when the stock dips appreciably, in part to stabilize share price and in part to help insulate themselves from external controls.

Pretty much because the 3DS is not launching before Christmas.


the 3DS delay by itself is not responsible for the 50% drop in profit...

 

As for Nintendo stock I don't expect it to ever get back to the levels it was.

Right now I don't consider it to  be such a good buy and at best the price will probably stabilize in a 2 years window around the level it is right now...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

doesn't mean that internally Nintendo didn't expect to release earlier. because if all along they were expecting to release it in Q1 2011 that is a really poor job of predicting revenue and profit...

Seece said: Mr.Metralha said: I wonder how's the microsoft stock in Japan compared to Nintendo... Anyone knows? I doubt Microsoft cares. Isn't stock WW? Can't cherry pick it to suit your attacks LOL yes, a company completely doesn't care about its stock dude xD   LOL   You're amazing....... Edit: And if you're not able to cherry pick it, shut up and don't post. Someone else maybe more intelligent and with knowledge on the matter might answer. Stock varies from country to country. Exchange rates. Go figure.

Actually, global companies are only typically traded on one market, usually a market in their home area. Microsoft is on NASDAQ; if someone in Japan wants to buy stock in MS, they have to pay the current NASDAQ pricing for it, not to mention finding a way to get it. It's the same with Nintendo- they are traded in Japan, and the prices we see are based on the Japanese listings. Anyone who buys a share, the company doesn't care where you are. They're getting the current share value, in their decided market.

Yes, stock pricing is worldwide, though in some cases, getting it in a foreign market is tough. The easiest way from a corporate standpoint is to spin off part of the company in another region, and get it listed as a seperate entity there, akin to what Sony does. Legally, though, this means that the companies are seperate, with seperate reportings needed to the varying regions. It's also why Sony has to shift all their money around from division to division- to show proper profit/loss in the different reporting areas. Thus, it's still quite messy, and why a fair number of companies don't do it.

Correct sir. And that makes stock vary from country to country as I said, that's why there are fluctuation per stock according to the market you are in.

Such as Nintendo, who only lists OTC.



“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.
