Hey everyone,

I somehow turned $20 into over $1000 on the roulette table this past weekend. I have never delved into stock investments but I feel that this G is a great oppurtunity to start.

Nintendo's stock graph from the past couple weeks is freaking insane. Do you all think it's still a safe bet to throw $1000 into it, or is there going to be an inevitable collapse?

Also welcome to any investment suggestions. I'm looking for something with a good amount of risk/reward potential.
 
Just go back to the roulette table. Basically the same thing as investing in individual stocks and a little more fun.
 
You're already late.

Plus if you want to really achieve anything, diversification is key. Putting everything in one stock is fun and games in the short term, but will probably hurt you.
 
You can't time the market man. Just get the slow and steady one, not the hot stock.

The good time to buy it would have been when they announced Pokemon Go and new licensing initiatives a year ago.
 
Don't buy shares with the intention of making some quick money, make sensible, boring, diversified investments and hold them for years. You can't really time the market in the long run

If you want to essentially have another bet, then fine
 
Appreciate the responses yall. I figured Google would be a safe bet but they are currently on the rise, so I feel like I should wait for it to go down again.

That's no fun! Haha. But yeah that's good advice. I guess I'm looking to continue to gamble for quick money
 
The best time was when the stock was down, now you would just be paying a fortune for the stocks with the possibility the Pokemon Craze will cool down sooner or later.
Perhaps if you faith in the NX?
 
It'll probably rise at least a bit more with its (immanent) release in Japan but its not the easy money safe bet it was even just a few days ago
 
Are you hoping to pull it out in a month or two with significantly more money, or do you want to keep your $1000 locked up in Nintendo stocks until you retire? Both are bad decisions.
 
I don't think so personally. I mean, we are still a long way away from their historical height during the DS/Wii heyday, but a doubling in stock price over the course of a week or two always runs the risk of being a temporary spike.

I suppose if it was free money, you could invest, and pull out with a modest loss at worst if numbers start dropping again in a month or so.

Taking that $1k back to the casino is a lot more likely to end with you being broke.

It's been up 10-15% minimum every day since Go launched. I'd buy now but pay attention and the moment it has a single digits increase sell. Remember it still hasn't launched in Japan so there is likely to be at least 1 more wee bump.
 
tol someone I know to do it last year. They didn't listen, I wish I had.


I knew Nintendo would hit it big somewhere down the line with a phone game. I told my fried it was a gurantee and they should do it since they hhave investments in chinese mobile games. I thought they would do it, oh well
 
The stock market is at a general high at the moment. I think putting that G into the market is still a smart thing to do, but expect to leave it there for a few years so you can stomach the dip that's coming. Do not put it into a single stock of a company you like - although you like the product you (likely) know nothing about the underlying financial status of the company and could possibly be putting money into a company that looks good on the surface but is struggling. Additionally, as others have said, you missed the bump for Nintendo, so unless you know of another huge product coming that will go viral, now is not the time. And lastly, diversification is key, and you can't really diversify with only $1k.

All that being said, put the money into an ETF that tracks the general market, like SPY or IWB.
 
Don't do it. It might still go up for a bit, but it can't feasibly grow much anymore. A drop is more likely.

What are the transaction costs on a small purchase on Japanese stocks though, assuming he's not from Japan himself.

Yep. Unless you wanna throw money and see what sticks. Then go all in.

theoretically, the current stock price already factors in the Japanese release
 
It's a gamble, the Japan release should already be factored into the price but it could cause even more mass hysteria than expected. So it could spike a bit higher but soon people will start profit taking and the price will dip and then plateau into the new perceived market value for the new-age mobile Nintendo. Then NX will release along with another mobile game and we'll really see what it's worth.

Like someone said you mine as well go throw $100 on Red again. It's not going to double again, or even go up another 25%.
 
Maybe.

It depends on a couple of factors
1)how well do you think Nintendo will monetize PokemonGO?
2)what other mobile games do they have coming out over the next 12-24 months? and
3)how well will NX do?

If you are bullish on all 3 then I would go ahead and invest. IMO, you missed the boat.
 
No. NTDOY and other pink sheet stocks are not like regular stocks. I own some Nintendo stock that I bought at 10$ a piece way back when but it's to 100% be able to say "lol, I own Nintendo stocks". They're a pain in the butt to actually do anything with, especially if you're not a Japanese citizen.

Go look up the investment thread and put your winnings into something from Vanguard or whoever. Putting money on a single stock is a fool's game
 
On the note of buying stock in a company, does anyone have any links to good guides? It's about time I looked into it.

As for Nintendo stock, and this is my layman opinion, but I wouldn't be surprised if it maintains its value leading up to Pokémon Sun & Moon's release. I'm not sure what the NX official announcement will do to it, though. Either "Nintendo has a new console!" or "...Nintendo has a new console? Ugh".
 
There will be a window after Pokemon dies down a bit and investors take profit off of current gains -- and before the NX reveal. The NX is not factored into the price because no one knows what it is, so that window will be the next best time.*

NO! It's way too late, this rise is a massive overreaction to Pokemon Go's earning potential.

At a minimum it's gonna settle down for a bit while the markets digest it. At worst, it could fall significantly. But there's little upside to Nintendo right now.
