I was just thinking... how will TTWO stocks react after the release of V when many shareholders decide to sell all they have in order to make a large profit? Not sure if this was the issue at stock peaks like IV but won't the stock become a bit turbulent after many shareholders sell a large part/all of their stocks after V to make a nice profit? Maybe that could impact the company quite a bit. Not sure, what do you experienced guys think?

I'm not "experienced" but you can see on a chart that the stock peaked when GTA SA and GTA IV came out. It doesn't look like there's much reason to hang onto it after the game is out.

I think I'm going to invest $700 in this, mainly due to the fact the shares are at a 3 year low. Even if they go back to $15 a share which they were a mere 2 months ago i'll double my money. Hopefully....

Best way for me to think about it is that they already would have made 600 million off GTA so it isn't that big of a hit for them. At least that's what I think is the thinking.

I've kind of wondered that too. When it's at it's peak and then starts declining with no hopes of going back up, why would anyone be interested in buying the stock? I might sell mine right before the game releases or a tiny bit after, just to be set and not have to worry about it starting to decline.

People want to buy it again for that exact reason. BECAUSE IT IS FALLING. It really just depends on how far it falls. It's like a cycle with TTWO from what I see. Goes up near release of a GTA (look at past history) and then falls down a ways, then goes back up when the next GTA comes out and so on.

Wouldn't be.such a bad idea to buy some right now. Sell it when price increases. Question is when will it increase?

$700 ... Imagine if the shares are rising up 2%, then you earned $14 minus trading costs minus taxes. So you would have earned $3-5. Really? The time you invest to buy and sell them is only so less worth to you?
And it will take years to go back to $15. I guess when V will be released they will rise up to $9-10 max. But anyway I hope you ll get success.

I'm thinking it will rise back up, but that is just me. I am no professional, but either way it will go back up eventually if you stay in it long enough. With any luck, considering how low the stock is, EA will attempt another buyout and i'll double my money instantly...But then i'll be kicking myself for not putting even more in...I still haven't invested anything yet, still watching the stock. It will be an interesting experience for me, I have never really invested in anything before.

Guys, please, don't discuss any specific stocks other than TTWO or another major games publisher here. General discussion on penny stocks is fine.

So, is there a reasonable chance they'll go up to 20$ with the release of V, seeing as they made a similar jump when IV and SA came out?

The highest value that Rockstar ever reached was $28.51 on June 6th 2005.

I think you made a bad decision OP, Take Two's stock hasn't been very healthy in a long time and it's not looking good any time soon either. Steady drop since end of March/early April. They've got some things going for them but you've gotta look at a bigger picture if you don't want to lose a lot of money.

Here, check this out:



I use this app on my iphone before investing in any company. it's saved me tons of money (you can see more info in the app). You might want to consider selling off that stock and invest in something that has better potential to make you money.

Maybe the OP is looking for some short term profit?

THAT JUMP WASN'T JUST BECAUSE GTA IV SOLD WELL, IT WAS BECAUSE EA ATTEMPTED A BUYOUT!!!

The forecasted price of TTWO stock is expected to go up $1.50 - $2.00 according to Take Two's financial release. A jump up to $20 should npt be expected just from the sale of GTA V.

Do you mean the finance conference 3 days ago? They expect $1.75-$2 per share.

[OSullivan]

Will the release of GTA V really send them flying up, or will it be a sort of false economy thing like when everyone bought Facebook shares and all they did was drop?

Probably everyone from this thread has been buying the stock causing it to jump up

[MIKON8ERISBACK]

I don't think buying any of their stocks is really a good idea until new info is released. In the meantime, it's very unstable.

Guys, this is a good topic to discuss IMO. But don't assume that you actually are able to influence the stock price. (unless you have millions of dollars at your disposal)

The stock prices fluctuate, whenever there are trades made. The trading volume is very significant thing to take notice of. When trading volume is low, the price usually does not make sharp moves, but when it's high there is a lot of variance. If a stock becomes very popular, expect it to become turbulant.

The time when you purchase and sell your stock makes the profit or loss. If you buy low and sell high, you will make a profit. Selling price is more important in making a profit, than purchasing price, because you don't really know if you are going to make a profit when you buy. By holding the stock you don't materialize the profit or loss.

By now, you should know, that R* is going to make grand theft auto until it does not sell anymore. It's their crown jewel, and Take Two is not going to sell R* cheap. You are gathered here to discuss the series you love. You should also know, that this is not the only fan-site, dispite it being the one with the most members. And not all the fans are members of a fan site. All the fans will buy GTA V. And since the fans are not living in a barrel, they have friends and people they talk to, and that's why the game is so popular. By announcing that the game will be the biggest game in the series, they are pretty much giving the fans and everyone buying the game an experience to talk about for a long time.

This will translate into big selling numbers, not just for the year it will be introduced, but for many more years. And sales translate into profit, which then translates into future expectancies=stock price. Selling a blockbuster after another is not easy. But since other companies can do it, why not T2, who has R*.
