The way I look at it: it's just off a 52-week low, they're still raking in cash, they seem primed to announce a new DS shortly, release date for DQIX is pending, plus videogame stocks of good firms have traditionally done well in the fall.
Barring a broader market crash, I'm expecting shares to get back to 70 before Xmas.
Easy to trade: just buy/sell shares of NTDOY. The only trick is it's tough to get continuously updated prices during the day, as it's a Pink Sheet. Best is a 15-minute delayed quote here:

It's down from the peak of 0.25 it was at about half an hour ago. Freaking scary, but tempting. I could easily see it drop 50% from here. =/

If you're going long, I wouldn't buy anything right now, honestly. The fact that the market is about even this week given the events is making me feel like the market is way, way too high.
Then again, with the ban of short-selling on certain stocks, who knows. The market is pretty much manipulated to go up in that environment.

Anyone has any idea why CGT has fallen big time yesterday, on no news, and has been going downward (yet green) today? I see NOTHING.
EDIT: Should have kept ADSK.

Yeah I was tempted to buy more ATVI but held off on anything today.
ABX.TO now at 36.50, bought at 29.50 (bottom) this week
STP now at 43, bought at 33.
i'm 80% up on ATVI
CGT rallied nicely at the end of the day, still in the red on it tho.
Really wish I kept ADSK, there was no reasoning behind selling it Monday, I was just thinking of selling everything and they were at the top of my list because they are listed by alphabetical order :lol

Anyone else noticed this? Most defense contractors were either down or barely up today. Could this be because people expect the military spending to be reduced or more severely contested now that the gov will need a whole lot more money to deal with its deficit?

ERTS has a nice slate of titles right now, but I don't know if they'll be able to hold such a rich valuation now that they are no longer the King of the sector.Ether_Snake said:

I think they are aiming more on quality, but I somehow also feel like it won't pay off. Dead Space and Mirror's Edge in particular.

I bought AIG at rock bottom prices and I'm hoping this rally on financials is gonna last, I'm up 50%.

I'm adding HON in my day-to-day watch list. The fundamentals are good, and they have dropped this year to the point where I think I could make a nice return if I bought soon.

No need to get a stop-loss for AIG, since the govt is babysitting them now. Even if there are corrections in the near-future, I'm looking at huge growth in the future, especially since everyone is saying we hit the bottom on thursday/friday. But we'll see. With the RTC2 now becoming a reality, I'd say a lot of people will be jumping back on the financials bandwagon. Think about getting a piece of the action while you can. It might be risky in the short-term, but longterm, I'm looking at money pouring back into the stock market and financials. You may not see prices like these in financials for a long time, and you know they'll eventually recover, especially now that the fed is being a guardian angel (with your money lol, nationalization of losses, capitalization of profits). I just feel bad for those who rode financials all the way down.gkrykewy said:

But the fundamentals are bad, so it's a big risk. I have to set a priority in my watch list and do a move early next week if things have calmed.

Ya RBC has been doing pretty well during those tough times (my bank, charges fucking 30$ for a stock purchase or sell):
http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=...=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=on;source=undefined
Their fundamentals are good considering the current situation, which explains also why they haven't fallen much. Not enough money to make on the short term with them tho IMO.

Same for Bank of Nova Scotia really (which also has pretty good fundamentals):

Canada all in all hasn't been TOO affected by the US crisis yet, and hopefully we won't be.
I'm looking at CGT's price right now and I'm like "yeah I'd like to increase my stake in the company" but at the same I want to add something else to my portfolio. The thing is, the price at where it is now makes me feel like I can get away with another 100 shares (for a total of 720). They are undervalued IMO, it's very long term. Shortage of pilots in developing countries is a reality and they have been addressing this issue.
I'm also looking into getting back in ADSK, should have never sold them, big mistake (it really was an actual mistake too:lol).

I found a few good ones tonight, very strong fundamentals, making them pretty safe investments (but usually with smaller returns). Some of them have actually dropped sharply recently yet the ratios are good so it makes them undervalued IMO, others have made through the turmoil unscathed (I'm mostly looking for undervalued stuff, but I always bookmark anything with great fundamentals in case of an eventual drop).

Thanks for the list, I'm always on the lookout for stocks with strong fundamentals. Will take a look at each closely.

I use Reuteurs mostly, I like their Ratio section. Basically go on Reuter's stock section, type in a company's ticket, and then click on Ratio (in the left side list).
Like Halliburton here:
http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/ratios?symbol=HAL.N
I've been using Investopedia.com to look up what the different ratios mean when I'm clueless. Overall it's a good way to see if a company has a large debt, how fast they cover their debt, if they have lots of cash on hands to deal with tough times, etc.

Oil falls again after Nigeria militants end attacks.
It's going to be a crazy week. There's a lot I want to get into, but the upward movement is too quick. I'm hoping for a red day soon so I can get in at cheaper.
I hope gold continues to rise too.
EDIT: BTW, any pro here can give me an idea of how to judge a company's debt? For example, YZC has a total debt of 126.86M, its market cap is 1.36B. How do I figure out if that's a lot? Just compare it to others in the sector?

I might buy BHIx50 today.
I put my toes into the options pool by buying some HSBC puts with a $70 strike price. They're already up 5% since I bought them, and the stock really hasn't moved much at all. This is some serious leverage!
Edit: Now they're up 20%. I just made up for three months of mutual-fund losses in one day. Wow.

Trying to buy BHI at 67 but it's been rising against the markets suddenly>:|
EDIT: Bought BHIx50 at 67.40 and HONx60 at 43.75
ABX.TO up another 7% Almost made 10$ a share on 100 shares in a week
EDIT2: Added 150 to CGT. This is it for me for a few weeks/months unless I sell something.

I don't understand why American Express is down so much today (8%)...well looks like Visa (6%) and Mastercard (20%!) are also getting taken to town.
AMEX has $20bn in cash. Maybe the extention of the bailout to credit card debt is the cause of the uncertainty.
Goldman and Morgan's transformation plus crude must be giving everyone worries. Friday's gains are all gone now.
