Buying Nintendo:

Should I go for common stock, or depository receipt?

[Anonymous No.265899]

Its a basic question.

Just looking for an opinion.

Personally, I'm leaning toward depository receipt, but if there's a glaring reason not to, let me know.

What country do you live in? If you lived in Japan you would obviously prefer to own the equity directly.

US based account, but I don't actually live there.

Eh, I'd just buy the equity directly.

But why are you investing in nintendo? $NTDOY?

The p/e is 417, eps sucks. profitability sucks. What makes you want to buy this?

(as preposterous as this sounds) Its not about the money, I just have real good will value for the company. Its the same reason I bought Google at its IPO, and that worked out pretty well.

I figure, worst case scenario, I have worthless stock, but I'll never lose it.

Nintendo could lose $50mil a year for the next 50 years and still be in business.

Also, I expect a long term reversal, because modern gaming can only be saved by Nintendo.

In that case, why not just sell puts

I like collecting equities, its as much of a hobby for me as it is a way of investing.

Its like coin collecting.

>it's like coin collecting

How do you "display" equity these days when electronic has effectively replaced paper certificates?

[Anonymous No.266067]

>>266045
Its a private collection, I just like having them.

If somebody asked to see them I guess I would show them the digital representations.

>bought 100 bitcoins to add to my collection
>still have them

Its worked out more often than it hasn't.

Just my opinion.

Nintendo isn't in it for the money. Every other company seems to be.

Yes. Yes they are. They just have a long term strategy that causes short term problems (or long term problems if it's no longer viable).

Nintendo seems to understand that to make the most money, they need to be the company that people hate the least.

Microsoft would rape you for every cent today, and wonder why you won't come back tomorrow.

Nintendo would gently squeeze your ass as you walk by, grab a couple bucks from your back pocket, and never hurt you bad enough to keep you away.

Thats the way I see it anyway.

I buy shares in the companies I actually like, and it has made me more money than any TA system I have seen would have in the same period.

I hope to god you meant short term monetary gains

[Anonymous No.266162]

I meant *just* in it for the money.

Obviously they want to make money, but I really get the impression that they care about not pissing people off while they do it.

[Anonymous No.266241]

Do you think other businesses don't care if they piss off their consumers? Good products = happy consumers = more money. Sure, some companies try to rely on hype and advertising to push a sub-par product into the market, but even Nintendo is guilty of that.
