Good Quarterly Reports + Stock Drops = Conspiracy Theories

OceanJackson — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:20:47 GMT

I'm an amateur investor and by most accounts, just your average joe. I'd like to talk about something alarming I appear to see frequently: Companies that report great quarters, but drop big immediately on the news! Woo-hoo!

The 7% drop of Infinera today on beating expectations, and (I listened to every word of the conference call), Tom Fallon's palbable optimism and excitement for 2013's pros...

Wii U Sales Data - Some Good News For Nintendo

OceanJackson — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 17:20:29 GMT

In my last Nintendo (PINK:NTDOY) post I highlighted recent lowlights for the Japanese gaming giant. Nintendo shares hit a fresh 52 Week low yesterday in the U.S., just a month into the launch of their brand-new Wii U gaming console. It appears investors are convinced Nintendo's future looks bleak.

But recent sales data says otherwise. Let's take a look at the ...

Overwhelmingly Negative News For Nintendo

OceanJackson — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 16:32:09 GMT

Earlier in the year I said Nintendo looks like Rocky prepping for their biggest bout yet. Now, they look like Rocky in the early rounds of the fight, just taking a pummeling by Ivan Drago.

With any new modern gaming console, there's bugs that need to be worked out in a growth phase. But the articles, videos, and forum entries you'll find via an internet search on Nintendo aren't just negative, they...

Apple TV - The Next Product Revolution

OceanJackson — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 17:12:23 GMT

While Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) investors, devotees, and critics are focused on iPhones and iPad's, they've largely missed a key innovation Apple snuck under the collective radar. Namely, Apple's big-screened desktop iMac computer is now, razor thin.

To make such a powerful machine so thin Apple had to innovate an entirely new manufacturing process, as well as to re-engineer internal hardware components to f...

Can Nintendo Unleash Wii U's Potential?

OceanJackson — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:53:38 GMT

Nintendo's (NASDAQOTC: NTDOY) new console has been out for a week. It's the most divisive console ever released. For every glowing review you hear a scathing one. Nintendo released a half-baked machine with sometimes clunky software, missing software, and half-baked ported games from other consoles just to get them on store-shelves by November 18th to capitalize on the holidays.

An investment...

Leave Luck To Heaven

OceanJackson — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:08:19 GMT

The Japanese word "Nintendo" means: Leave Luck To Heaven.

When you consider how many times Nintendo has been called dead and come back, that Nintendo single-handedly resurrected the gaming industry after Atari died, or how many times they've disregarded the advice and path of the larger industry and created products wholly unlike the rest - and emerged on top, perhaps "leave luck to heaven"...

The Fight of Nintendo's Life

OceanJackson — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:47:49 GMT

After its first annual loss in 123 years, Nintendo's (NTDOY.PK) not going quietly into 2012's dark night. Instead they look like Rocky IV's training montage, prepping for their biggest bout yet.

Nintendo's fortunes are tied to the Wii U. They've pushed all their chips to the center. And if I'm on the other side being asked to call or fold...I'm not betting against them.

In November '05 a year before the Wii's release Nintendo (NTDOY.PK) shares were around today's prices in the high $13's. They rose up to the Wii's launch and in Nov '06 NTDOY sold for $29.75. But we're less than 4 months from the 1st major Gaming Console in 6 years, the Wii U...and the stock hasn't been on the rise. In fact it's fallen to several new 52 Week lows in just the last couple months.

So ...
