They've stagnated since May and they're down about 7.15% this quarter, so it's not a good short term investment.

However, their increases before that are extreme. They've had a 505% increase since 2010. Wait until BF2 launches, my predictions are their stocks will go down a few points, that's when you should buy in. If they drop far enough they might go into a dead cat bounce, which would allow you to make decent short term returns. If you're looking for more substantial returns you'll have to wait a few years, but overall I think they're a safe bet.

They don't push that propaganda to make money, they do it to further their agenda and to get brownie points within their various circles.

The average gamer is both apathetic and has the memory of a goldfish, they'll post on Reddit about how much they hate EA yet they'll still buy their games in several months. This is why investors usually don't care much when there's a big controversy in video games: it rarely affects sales.

Copying what was said in another thread:

You have a group, looking to make money by dishonorable means. They spend a great deal of time calculating how to minimize the damage when they are caught out- via making the outrage last as short as possible.

EA focused on their meaningless changes. Wall Street focused on plants like Ketchup and other SJWs (calling in favors for police to disperse the protestors would have made them martyrs).

Compare to South Korea and the previous government. They couldn't make the outrage as short as possible- it kept going. The whole country boycotted and refused to work- costing 2 billion USD a day or something. Even if Park did stay in power until the country went bankrupt- the people would be so pissed (and starved probably) all social cohesion would have broken down and they'd have gone full French Revolution.

(((They))) are shit scared of people remembering what they do, and that they keep talking about it. Whether it be a constant stream of anger, or little reminders that shit's fucked and this is not how it's meant to be- people that are focused on problems they cause is bad. This is also why (((they))) want greater control of the internet. Even if their minds have been dulled, there are plenty that can explain to them why shit is bad and how it affects them directly.

Basically, make sure outrage never becomes "old news". EA made some changes, so the story focused on that- and the journos never explained the changes were meaningless. It then gave fanboys the means to legitimize their purchase to themselves and others.

Wallstreet made their own changes, derailing OWS and making the story about it fizzling out, and the journos never explained why it started up in the first place again.

Bear in mind pic-related came out before EA made their changes, like he predicted.

Anon, the best advice any investor will give you is, invest in what you know. Like, for instance, if you knew when they first started that Google was going to own the fucking world, you were a fool if you didnt get in on the ground floor. I on the other hand, was convinced there was no way they were dethroning Yahoo. *sob* It was a good idea, if you knew Nintendo, to put some money behind them before the Switch came out. You being a vidja insider, you should know that EA's highway jewry can't last long term. You also know their history of killing off fan favorite studios and resentment against them has reached a fever pitch in recent years.

Knowing that, do you think it's a good idea to back them now?

I hate to say it but the investors are overestimating gamers, they will buy the game, they will pay the micro-transactions and they will buy the DLC.

EA have essentially tried to append a f2p gaming model to a full price, premium game.

I mean sure, that's the great video game kike dream, but I think it's a bridge too far. Even normalfags will rebel at this. This wait to play shit flies if it's a dumb phone game you know you didn't pay for anyway, but i'm not fucking paying to wait.

Granted, much like the infamous horse armor, after this it will be normalized and the next game will have a much easier time cruising through, but the first guy through the door always eats it.

Anon, this is not news. And it's going to work. Everyone from Plebbit who said that they're going to boycott the game are going to buy it, and spend more money on those characters. These retarded monkies have absolutely no self control, they NEED to buy this, because they can't stay out of the normalfag loop. This game will do as well, if not better, than the first. And Reddit will feel like they made a change because they downvoted a comment.

Not sure you can buy so little. Isn't there a min number of stocks you have to buy? And with $200, you'd be able to buy like 1 stock at it's current $111 price tag.

I've heard we'll have mined all the easily removed silver by 2040, and it's fucking dirt cheap right now. I unfortunately bought some in 2013 when it was $30/oz.

Walmart is also at an alltime high or so, I have some stocks in them by merit of being an employee and automatically getting some. We're trying to push for online and customer satisfaction and low prices as our main 3 goals right now, and frankly, I wouldn't recommend our online (and Amazon is leagues better anyways - they're built around it).

Also, if you buy at a price, try as best you can to sell at a higher price than you bought it for.

If you buy 2 shares of EA for $500, it costs you 2 X 500 = $1000. When you sell, hopefully the stock has gone up to $550 or $600. If the stock drops to $450 and you sell, you make 2 X $450 = $900. Or in other words, you just lost $100. If you sell at $550 you just made $100. (minus broker fees, etc.) There are websites that only charge like a couple dollars per trade tho so if you use those the fees aren't usually that much.

This shit just came up on the national news in Belgium, which is weird for a videogame to be on the news. They talked about the concept of lootboxes and the critique from the national gambling commission. Next they said EA took out lootboxes before launch, so now the idea is that the game is good to buy. EA's kikery goes this far. A huge publicity stunt before launch, appearing on the national news with their "changes" and how it is now good. The online article ends with how lootboxes may return, but they didn't say this on the news.

What nobody has mentioned is that you get a divident at the end of the year.

So its not just hoping the shares go up for when you sell them, its hoping the company turns a big profit that is shared out between all the shareholders.
