gagebastian Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 i dont advise it, if i were u i would invest in another major game company such as THQ or activision because its likely EA will go after one of those next. At this point, the most you can make off T2 stock is 5 or 6 dollars a share.

maka08 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I was actually thinking about this as well. Now i don't know too much about the stock market, almost nothing actually. But isn't buying T2 stock right now a smart move? If GTAIV sales go good won't T2s stock price go up? Oh and even though i have an Xbox i like your sig gagebastian.

*CarBoaster* Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=TTWO It's hovering around $26 right now. I wouldn't expect it to go much higher then $30 once GTA IV is released.

DCypher11 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 But, say EA offers like, $4 billion and eventually buys out Take-Two, wouldnt shareholders get a portion of that in addition to GTAIV sales? Sorry if thats a dumb question, I too know nothing about the stock-market.

No. I mean, it will go up on GTA IV's release, but the right time to buy it was when it went really low in winter '07, then profiting with GTA IV's release.

And do you guys really think EA will try to buy another company now? Wasn't the whole point in acquiring T2 to profit from GTA and also take out one of their main competitors to EA Sports which is 2k, that is owned by T2.

Sorry if thats a dumb question, I too know nothing about the stock-market. haha well EA wont double their offer but the tender offer expires tomorrow, so you can expect a larger offer after the release of GTA IV. It's estimated that the release will bring the stock up to about 32 a share, and so the EA offer will most likely be around 34. It's also possible that EA will make an offer around 32 dollars a share tomorrow or the next day, so although its a little late to be buying T2 stock, if u do buy it, make sure its before tomorrow or at the very least the day after.

Sorry if thats a dumb question, I too know nothing about the stock-market. If EA does that they are buying the majority of the stock for that company. That number amount (4 billion in your scenario) is divided by the number of shares there is at that point. A price per share is calculated and EA is willing to buy a share for that amount. They need 51% of the shares to take over the company. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/327995-investing-in-take-two/#findComment-1057837203 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thor79 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) I thought about getting some myself...but after looking it over it just seems a bit late. While they do look like they are going to make a killing on GTA IV...as a major sequel to a popular series...this is somewhat expected...so it will rise...but not tremendously like it might if this were a brand new franchise that does extremely well. I found out that one of my friend's bought 50 shares back in February...just before EA made the first offer...the stock price was at like 15 I think. I think he's holding onto it till at least a couple weeks after GTA is released. Not a lot of shares but it is a good chunk of change and a nice move he made (for a single father that doesn't really dabble at all in the stock market). Wish I had the money to do the same back then.
