UshaB Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 If you're gonna invest big money to TakeTwo you won't make much more from the profit anyway. Take2 is already on a solid foundation, the only way you could make big money is if RockstarGames makes a very, very successful game that outdoes GTA 5 in selling and I'm talking a lot of money. The profit they made off GTA 5 was solid, rising share price, trust me the return will not be great. Find better investment options, such as future products that is innovative, invest in the big bio-tech companies searching for the cure for ebola. They're the better options.

Fuzzknuckles Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 The stocks might move a little on release day, but they'll be growing more a week or so after release when profit/sales start to be announced. Hold off until then. And as said above, remember to save in a spare slot before you invest. Signatures are dumb anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS 17 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 So embarrassing reading all the posts here. Most of the people never traded anything besides in GTA V nor do they have an experience in the market. The hobo around in downtown can tell me the same like it was written here. I m pretty sure about that. But yeah, future billionairs are coming in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I m pretty sure about that. But yeah, future billionairs are coming in here. I don't trade but I do follow macro economic trends and geopolitics, which means I keep an eye on the stock market too. I don't trade yet because the market is what it is. If you look at the underlying data there's really nothing to support the current levels for stocks. I'm waiting for them to come down, which will happen sooner rather than later. That's not my brilliant mind thinking that, that's what most analysts think. Oh, and I didn't really bother with the stock market in V. Interesting feature but I don't have the patience for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backfromthestorm Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) It's not crazy, it's what happens. Invest everything you have in R*, then take out the CEOS of unity, square enix, sega and activision in one mission. - Don't forget to reinvest in the above companies before they bounce back.

richard1997jones Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Dont let these people put you down, if you want to start playing the stock market then fine, its anybodys game out there. I doubt youll become rich though as the price of stocks now vs after the 18th Nov arent likely to go up much. If you had bought in pre Sept 17th 2013 you may be making some back by now but theres no get rich quick scheme in life im afraid. Very true. Listen to Strakan7 he's a God.

marky101 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 invest £1000 then sell a week later for £1001. Totally worth the risk. or play on a fruit machine and have a better chance of making double that at £2 profit Blisteryship006 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash_735 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Stocks are a long game, and you've already missed the boat, the BEST time to invest into Take-2 would have been 2011, just after L.A.Noire bombed and BioShock was delayed, all they had going then was Max Payne 3 to look forward but the brand had been long dead itself (with Max Payne 2 last showing up 2004) and the title was also severly delayed (Originally announced in 2009 and then going dark), I believe that's when Take-2 stock prices were quite low, if you invested a few thousand AT LEAST at that point, you would have saw major profit last year after September if you chose to sell.

Coral_City Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 It would be probably better to invest in their stocks before V hits for next-gen. The question though is, how much revenue can one make? I guess it depends on how their stocks performed for the past year or so, how far the next-gen sales will exceed Take-Two's expectations (if at all) and what other titles they have to offer in the near future. You shouldn't buy shares based on a single release. If a major AAA release performs worse sales-wise than anticipated, then this can have a negative impact on their stocks. There are possibly even more factors that need to be considered. Keep in mind that GTAV on next-gen is just a re-release, and as such it will not make nearly as much money as it did on the PS3 and 360. Which, in turn, means I wouldn't expect the stocks to go up all that much. Watch the stocks rise on the news of heists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribon Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 So... do you think if I buy some stocks for 21 dollar, it can be like worth 100 dollar when, let us say GTA 6 will be launched http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/ttwo It's highly unlikely the stock will go up by a whopping 300% because of one game alone, unless they're gonna announce something that's gonna completely change the gaming industry as we know it and speculators start flocking in. There are so many things influencing a stock price that it's next to impossible to predict what's gonna happen in the next couple of weeks/months/years.

Gdog Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 you're a bit late. i'm no expert but i'm guessing the best time to invest would've been before GTA V was even announced. surely the price would've been much lower back then? the whole idea is to buy as cheap as possible and sell for as much as possible. if it were me i'd have thought "oh well i'm guessing a new GTA will be out soon". this would've been 2010/2011. invest some money into TakeTwo and hold onto those shares until after the game was released and it was getting good reviews etc cause that'd be when everyone is praising Rockstar/Take Two for making such a great game. The price would be high so time to sell. again...I'm no expert. i don't even buy a lottery ticket never mind shares. what do i know. i'm just assuming/guessing. i wouldn't invest in taketwo right now especially to try make a quick profit. just cause i have fun using the stock market in GTA V doesn't mean i'll pretend to understand how the real world works when it comes to stocks.

minifat Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 If you would've invested $1000 in August 2012, you would have about $2700 today ($1700 profit), October 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbob182 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Idiots. It's not a case of buying stocks the day before release. Stock price boils down to present value of future earnings. R* and to a lesser extent, smart investors have a pretty good idea of how much money a release will bring in before they even start work on it. You need to invest before or if your lucky as soon as the ame is announced to have a chance at making any reasonable money. Also, if you're going to invest $10, you'll need the price to rise by about 600% to cover the brokerage of buying and selling.

saintsrow Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) The time to invest in TTWO was 31 July 2012, when everyone was expecting a huge GTAV release date announcement on the quarterly conference call, and we got nothing. The stock dropped to under $8. Now you will have to wait until the next opportunity for Rockstar to disappoint 30 million GTA fans and then buy right after. That will probably be sometime during the hype buildup to GTA6, when instead they say absolutely zip about GTA6 and instead announce Max Payne 4. I remember how we all slavishly followed every TTWO financial conference during 2012, hoping with all our heart to hear the slightest news about GTAV. We got nothing. Rockstar really royally screwed us throughout 2012. Edited October 28, 2014 by saintsrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bensons Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 What if.. I invested into Take2 via the stock market on November 18th, assuming T2 is a public limited company.

Correct, I bought just after the announcement T2 stocks for about $10 (a few weeks earlier the shareprice was around $8-9) and sold them this year for $22, with some buying and selling extra shares inbetween my return on investment was about 142%, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
