If you're up to it, you can read Krantz's full analysis of the stock right here. Or you can really push the thrill envelope and guzzle that cup of Starbucks that was super hot when you purchased it 30 minutes ago without sipping to see if it cooled. WOOOAAHHHH!

obligatory "it'd probably be more fun than most of their games!" here
Hydrophobicfish @ Jul 13th 2009 1:09PM
Obligatory "It's true."
Shmil @ Jul 13th 2009 1:11PM
Obligatory "Oh snap"

That's why I use Right Guard Sports Stick: Maximum Protection against Obligatory Lavatory Obligations.

Yeah lets buy stock in a company that milks the crap out of franchises till there dead.
Guitar Hero's well will dry up just like Tony Hawks did.
What are they gonna do then?

Gee, I don't know... make another World of Warcraft?
Benny @ Jul 13th 2009 3:16PM
Well said. I can't agree with you more.

That's so totally radical, man! What should I do afterwards, read the EXTREME pages of (insert skating magazine here)? Or maybe watch old episodes of Rocket Power?
Or even, idanoe, play Skate It?

Rocket Power?
*projectile vomits*
[tre] @ Jul 13th 2009 1:11PM
That was the point of the comment.
To make you vomit.

I would say mostly fear, as DJ Hero & Tony Hawk with their expensive peripherals are going to BOMB this winter.

Peripherals?
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 13th 2009 1:25PM
No peripherals. Just an impossible to understand in game interface with charts and graphs and in-depth analysis who from a bunch of people who have no idea what the fuck they're talking about.

at first i thought it said "Investing in Activision shares will be filled with excrement, fear and suspense."
weird.

I can't believe i read that garbage article to the end. This guys whole premise is that the company is extremely good, but none of his shitty analysis software can give it a rating because of the Blizzard merger. I'm sorry, but I'm glad retards like this are selling their stock to me at a discount because they don't realise that if you're buying ATVI now, you're getting Vivendi/Blizzard for free. The stock is relatively at it's value before the merger.
If the suits don't realize that Starcraft 2 is coming to set Korea on fire, then they can sell their shares to me. Also, how about using something other than a fucking Excel spreadsheet to tell you how to invest. The economy can't stand another blow if everyone is still automating their choices.
