Without getting into those pesky things called numbers, Nintendo's stock was up 5% at the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange today. This follows yesterday's August NPD report showing in the US the Nintendo Wii and DS continue to be on track like they're on Pokémon Safari. Nintendo's stock has seen a steady increase since E3 2005. Anticipation of the Wii and continually strong DS sales really got the stock shooting skyward late last year. Analysts are saying that if you're looking to buy Nintendo stock to go right ahead, this train ain't stopping anytime soon.
The Wii and DS continue to be on a global rampage as far as anyone can see. Like the Financial Times reported, Nintendo has strong sales in all markets, not just in the States like the Xbox, or the PS3 in, um ... Australia likes it. It's moments like this that truly make us wonder where Nintendo would be now if they could figure out their production issues.

Just to prevent 500 stupid comments:
It represents the "bull market". It is *not* a pokémon.

Sure, they do. They do it via pink sheets...

I bought $5000 worth of stock at around $24/share before e3 2005 because of the DS sales. Then the Wii exploded. Now, I have $10000. Sold some shares to get all 3 systems. Thanks for the free video game systems, Nintendo!

Why hasn't Curmeo come in here and bashed the Wii yet?

Wouldn't a Wiinis be more appropriate for the article?

That reminds me of the bull statue we have in our Birmingham Bullring Mall.

Nice to know Ninty is doing well, wish I could buy some stocks though :(
Samfish, I believe that like our own statue, the bull would be anatomically complete.

There are actually two Nintendo stocks (I think). Go to CNN money and search for "NTDOF" and "NTDOY." During my economics class in 2006, I "bought" both for our stock game. I can't remember NTDOY's price back when I bought it, but NTDOF was less than $150. Now it's over $460.
Moral of the story: I should have convinced my parents to buy some Nintendo stock(if it's even possible to do so).
By the way: I also "bought" Konami stock, banking on the chance that they would reveal at E3 that MGS4 would come out soon. They didn't, and I didn't make much money off that.

If you really want to make money, you should buy stock in every video game company in the world. Yeah a lot of them will fail, but as a whole the industry is growing exponentially every single year. And if you want to play it safe you can buy stock in everybody but Sony.
