9% drop that coincides with first month sub coming due is not a good thing. Spin all you want. A 9% drop in a single day is not a good sign for ANY stock. http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=funcom.ol |

Right now would be the perfect time to buy Funcom stock actually. They're moving out of a growth stage where the value of the stock has raised considerably considering the finances they have moved into expanding for the development of the game. Now the nature of the stock is going to shift torwards more of an income stock and the value will go back up after this drop and it will stabalize and remain persistent while share holders are going to be getting their cut of the profit. Such drops are the RULE for companies in such a transition stage because they have in essence just topped out on their companies net worth...they have all their captial invested and little to no liquid assets. It might be a little hard to buy this stock right now...MMORPG's are cash cows and even with 100-200k subscribers long term this game is going to be turning a healthy profit. And we havent even brought into the equation the Xbox 360 version of the game. Its going to sell and its going to sell well. 360 gamers dont really have an MMORPG for their console yet except FFXI which you can play on Ps2 so that doesnt even count. Tons of 360 owners will buy it just for something new to do with their friends. Funcom stock is going to be fine, stick to making macro's and farming node's or w/e this is not your area. |

BTW just to add that the reason the price of stock went down is because as I said, Funcom has been investing in their own business so they have been a growth stock..as you can see the value has been continuing to rise..well right now it cant grow anymore because they dont have the finances. Thats when the stock reaches its peak in that period and people start selling and the price drops...it doesnt mean the company is doing badly thats just the way the stock market works. The previous investors just wanted a quick return on their money and now the people buying it are going to be in it for the long term. Thats why I say it would be harder to buy it now because its a little late for the original investors to max out their profits. That graph you linked to is typical for any company that has invested all its wealth long term and has reached a new phase. In no way does it indicated failure. And PS that is a really idiotic way to attempt to bash a game. |

As far as I know it is less than 4 gigs ram (included the graphic card off course) that the game hates. My guildmates have dual cores with no problems either so it can (not must be) a problem with your system. Clean out your registry with "easycleaner" (its free, google it), have at least 5 gigs of ram free on your harddrive, get all the latest drivers. Defragging your harddrives might help a bit too. Turn off all the extra stuff like animations in your XP, a good tweaked computer will expand your gaming experience and run better. To the OP: The stock value off one company is worthless without a graph for the whole market to compare to, anytime the Iraq war goes badly stocks plummets, oilprices, different political issues like Irelands no to the new EU deal... A lot of factors. And as someone said, Vivendi have gone down a lot to so it is probably something that goes around. If the stocks is a lot down in december (from jan) , then it is time to worry, now it is just pointless. |

...and it's still twice as high as it's ytd low. Anyone investing in Jan would have doubled their money in 6 months. Show me another stock that has done that this year |

A lot of advertisement, positive hype and interest will do that to a companies stock. Now reality has hit, the falling stock price shows that the hype and interest is flagging. Amazing that they sold 4,000,000 shares just at the right time, very smart move |

lol hell no! I would be trying to sell all my shares before they plummeted even farther... Then again i would have sold at the beginning of June when the cat was out of the bag that the game was imcomplete garbatge and they had just made all that money off of the box sales. The stock to buy now is mythic, and then if that game is as incomplete and awful as AoC you sell that too after the intial box sale profits. |
