General / Off-Topic And the Share Price Goes through the Floor!

MattBlaK · Dec 22, 2014

Down 15% at the time of posting!

Currently 207.05. A drop of 36.95 (15.14%)

Edit: It appears this post wasn't worth it. Too many people think that I was having a go at FD. I was just trying to be informative as I've kept an eye on it as I've been playing Beta, watching it fluctuate with releases...

wow that sucks... ED was that much of a failure?

Not sure from your post what relevance this has to the game. Perhaps you would elaborate?

There's an element of gloating there that isn't warranted, I think. Do you want Frontier to go out of business? Who'll run the servers then? How will you play the game I presume you have and have paid for? *slow handclap*

Or someone just bought a hell of a lot of shares!

MattBlaK · Dec 22, 2014

I don't think it was, I'm loving it but there are a few things missing that it just needed from launch for it to do really well immediately.

That's still the double of the historical low. Your point is?

Down 15% today. It was around 240 earlier.
Not gloating, I am just trying to be informative on the status of how our new Elite is being received by others...

Hardly through the floor.

That's cool. Of course you are aware that the share price is not some sort of "review" of the game? Yes?

Then the price would go up... it goes down when shares are sold...

Share prices fluctuate all the time. If I was a share holder, I wouldn't be worried.

StuartGT · Dec 22, 2014

That's after hours trading, the price closed at 5pm at 2.5% down: http://m.londonstockexchange.com/ex...summary.html?fourWayKey=GB00BBT32N39GBGBXASQ1

Why would it happen today though? The game didn't release today.. Is it cause reviews are coming out?

Agreed! I am and I am not worried

Duh! Silly me, stockholders only buy / sell shares based on how a single game is (or isn't) doing. Congrats you got the prize for dumbest post of the day....

Well, someone bought a stack of shares a few days ago. Can't upload screen shot from my phone. Was about £150k worth. They may be slightly annoyed.
