What a mess!

requiem · 10-15-2005, 05:48 AM

Does anyone follow the markets/invest? I bought quite some Electronic Arts (ERTS) in order to build a position for XBOX360 release as well as increased sales from XBOX/PS2 games. I have no problem with the below as my target is to sell Dec./Jan., but this stock was just a mess this last week (Blue Electronic Arts, Orange Activision, Purple NASDAQ). It closed quite a bit over I bought it, but the ups and downs are

That is a perfect comment.

You own some of EA, requiem? Start a 'Make the game right the first time, dammit!' petition. Maybe they will listen to you.

I also hope you won't take my boycotting of SF and possibly future EA games as a personal attack...

I don't buy EA for what they make on PC, but for PS & XBox series

PC only accounts for 15% of their sales.

I am always in for the long haul. Not a quick trader myself.

But I can see where some poor souls are happy one day and sad the next. Im my opnion there are much better gambles than a silly video game company.

I don't daytrade either (don't have the tools or the time). EA has always been good money for me, buy at 52, sell at 60, this is the 4th time it will work (c. 15%). I bought a day before it was upgraded by S&P and Citigroup both which reasoned with building a position on the Xbox360 (5 EA launch titles), which I agree with. In addition, the Spielberg deal and recently announced increased sales for this quarter should all help out. The whole industry was in a slump, but given the infrastructure and size of EA, it shrugged it off like a bad cold while other studios were forced to more drastic measures, i.e. cutting numerous positions. EA understands the mainstream game industry better then any other studio (dominates 70% of sport titles for consoles) and brings hit title after hit title out (Need for Speed, Harry Potter, The Sims, and recently Valve products). Other studios like Take Two are forced to produce the games EA won't, i.e. Grand Theft Auto (such titles could jeopardize agreements with the NFL, etc.). EA stocks are paying my taxes & some more this year. Just my 2 cents...

	And what's a 6-year-old doing playing such a violent game? He's never going to enjoy kickball when he's screaming "Wallhack" from 2nd base.
