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

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.

I find it rather amusing that you assume this price movement has anything to do with the state of development in the game. I assure you that very few of the people and robots shuffling this stock around on the LSE are actual players who are happy/sad about their favorite DDA feature not being implemented yet.

Do you also think that amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) will drop in price if Mrs. Sanders down the road isn't happy with her kindle?

People like you who make dumb assumptions about financial products are responsible for filling many a pocket.
 
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.

£150k... Sounds like a good investment to me. If I had the cash spare, I'd be buying into it too. I know an investment when I see one and I'm not the invester type.
 
Welcome to the stock market. Where shares can drop 25% at one moment and instantly rise 15% before drop value. I tend to stay clear of stock markets for there unpredictability. Got a few friends who dabble in it though.

I'm looking at it now and it never dropped that low today?? EDIT: Google and Bloomberg show wildly different closing numbers...what the???

The price dropped steadily through trading and lost a total of 6 GBp for a loss of 2.46%...Not a great day, considering the rest of the market was trending up but this is no different from what I see day to day in my portfolio. What matters is your longer range gains. 1-yr return is 56% which beats most of the market. If you look at the price over the year, you will see it has been a fairly moderate year with most of the gains in the first quarter followed by a minor correction and then a steady up and down.

Can't say it is an exciting stock and it probably won't grow to proportions that would make it worth buying now. I might get a handful, only b/c I try to support stocks in things I use.

It's an education. Maybe I just freaked out at what seemed like a dramatic bounce :)

We're playing a game that won't be complete untill the companion expansion packs are released. I'd sit tight for a few years. Can't wait for those either. They will open the gameplay to a new level. If they actually make it truely mmo, then even better.
 
Yeah, I only got the Google stock alert on my phone.

It's certainly not a complete game, but I am in it for the long haul. We waited too long to just bail on Elite now :)
 
That will be all the shareholders that sold after the build up of release/xmas and made a profit.

Pre-Planetary landings will no doubt be the next time to buy

Don't think it reflects on the game whatsoever, especially seeing as the majority of reviews are good ones.
