yea,because investors are usually stupid,and they dont do any research before they buy something.

well i meant when compared to other stocks. Gamers know it better
Plus as a gamer you know if something will be a big hit or just plain shitty.
Not sure if investors play betas or demos before release of a product  or know if Risen 2  is going to be a big game or a sinker. Plus you can go on a site like gamespot.com and find out retailer sales of a game within 48 hours of release, giving you knowledge how well a company is going to do this year months before the quaterly postings. Not too many investment oppotunities are out that offer such foresight. Like even if you work in a hospital as a surgeon or doctor you cant really be that sure of how medical stocks will do.

good game =! high sales

you have to be mad or ignorant to think regular investors dont have this kind of foresigh

also anything we can do as amateurs or non-professionals / substitute term of choice you can be damn well sure everyone else can do as well

Well would you agree that THQ for $.70 a share is a good bet.  Even if they get up to 5 dollars a share this year your a winner?

"NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: POSTwi) will replace Comstock Resources, Inc. (NYSE: CRK) in the S&P MidCap 400 index, and Comstock Resources will replace THQ Inc. (NASD: THQI) in the S&P SmallCap 600 index after the close of trading on Friday, February 3. S&P MidCap 400 constituent Ralcorp Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: RAH) is spinning off Post Holdings in a transaction expected to be completed on or about that date, pending final approvals. The Ralcorp Holdings stub will remain in the S&P MidCap 400 index. Comstock Resources' market cap is below $620 million, making it more representative of the small cap market space. THQ's market cap is below $50 million, and is no longer representative of the small cap market space."


Brian, please dont give any investment tips, obv you dont know shit about investing, no offense. I dont know anything about investing in gaming. But shit.... I was stupid to listen to you and I only have myself to blame. Luckily I only bought a small amount of shares, but my brother however bought 10 000 shares. Which isnt that much either. But its enough for me to feel like an ass.


Ill keep trading on the swedish market, thank you very much computer.

[tank130]

No offense Dnice:

Anyone taking investment advice from some guy on a gaming internet site.........





 is fucking retarded.

[Dnicee]

meh not that much money, but yea. i said i twas stupid so you dont need to be a dick tank. i just took his word for it and didnt do any research and i dont know anything about the us market.

I gambled and i lost. But i can still say that he sucks for giving out advices without being asked when he dont know shit.

someone giving away lots of money for a mod that will die within 2 years isnt that smart either tank.

[Smokaz]

Computer is a complete idiot and not be trusted with anything serious Dnice, I wish I could have told you that before your brother spent a months worth of work on anything that he woulc recommend. He might act friendly but I knew he was not a decent guy when I realized he couldn't put out 20$ for a bottle of DMSO. Sure hang out with him here on EIRR but dont expect more of him. I wish I could retract him having my cell phone number

[tank130]

The reason I specifically posted "No offense Dnice" was to try and convey that my comment was not an insult to you, but a giant warning to others. It is too late to save you.... sorry.

My investment in this mod was purely for the benefit of myself and a thanks to Eirrmod for the years of work and effort he made in providing me with entertainment. In fact, that is exactly what I posted publicly way back when I made the large donations.

I expected nothing more from this mod then a completed Warmap. That was the condition of my "Non Guaranteed" investment. I new the day I sent the money that EiRRmod could just shut the whole thing down and I would see nothing ever again. It has always been more of a gamble then an investment.

Never invest more than you are willing to loose.

[PartyJaeger]

...honestly i thought, the advice was troll, especially from guy who signs fairgames thread only to stomp and laugh in uneven games later...


but, cmon, how u can invest inb4 teh basic google search - it would lead you to openletter from ex-THQ employees basicaly saying that PR from THQ 2 weeks ago is complete bullshit and ship is sinking

[Smokaz]

"never saw it coming!"

anyways, if some bigger publisher picks them up, wont their stock increase?

[nikomas]

Hehehe, maybe some korean MMO company buys "CoH:O" off their hands...
That would be a fun, maybe a bit crazy ride 

[smurfORnot]

Dnicee had money that was itching him in the wallet

[Sachaztan]

lol I'm glad I never bought anything.

Anyhow, there's still a very real possibility that THQ gets their shit together and whoever hangs on for the ride could see a very nice return on their investment.

[deadbolt]

is fucking retarded.

made my night 

[deadbolt]

think, you could have spent all that money on little kids dnicee! 

[Dnicee]

think its about time you stop joking about kids db.

[Dnicee]

and besides, this might come as a shock to you but you have not lost any money until you sell...
