Take-Two Stock Plummetting

[Brian Forbes]

Obviously, when a company's stock price is at it's lowest it's the optimum time to buy... as in this case you'll maximize the return on your investment when their shares start to skyrocket in the build up to Q2 2008 as you be holding twice as much stock then you otherwise could afford and we're talking GTA4. In the month that follows Take Two stock will be like gold.

 

Although, as you might know they have been in trouble with the SEC in the past with mismanagement, stock option-fraud and overvaluing stock quotations so beware because they're otherwise risky as hell but you'd be helping to safeguard their developers. As you should know... when the value of a company like Take Two falls like any listed company, this makes them vunerable to a take-over by a rival company like EA or Sony who would acquire the Rockstar brand along with S2K. If EA was to acquire Rockstar via Take Two which has been speculated in the past... expect a new GTA every 3-6 months rated E for Everyone, if it was M$ or Sony you know the rest. Rockstar have long outgrown Take Two, who cleary aren't capable of handling a major franchise and perhaps we'd all be better off if they were absorbed by a greedy multinational conglomerate for better or worst.

 

Edit: Not the delay as it's not their fault but they have made really poor judgement/calls over the last couple of years over various media controversies and plight exacerbated by financial mismanagement, shady business practices and according to their own disgruntled employees; hideous inefficiency & appalling working conditions/attitudes to employees. Its a joke really. I wouldn't personally put my money in their hands because quite simply, they're f*cking morons .

[speculation]

How about we pass the hat around the gtaIVums, gather up as much cash as possible and buy as much stock as we can.

 

That way, once the game's released the money could be used to pay for server costs etc.

According to Joystiq this may be partially due to more speculation that Take-Two could be bought out by a larger entity (they give EA as an example) following GTAIV's release.

 

I get mixed feelings about a buyout - on one hand it would be nice for franchises to be handled by a company who know what they're doing, but on the other hand who would want R* to be swallowed up into an anonymous games factory?

 

Also, what would Microsoft NOT pay to have GTA X360 exclusive?
