You would imagine that investors often spend time to look up detailed information about the company they are investing in, and perhaps create detailed charts of their related companies so that they correctly understand cause and effect but the stock market is often times if not most of the time emotional rather than logical.Nintendo’s (NTDOY) stocks skyrocketed when Pokemon Go released, it more than doubled its value inside a few days and set new stock market records. This is all fine and good until these investors understand the true value behind Nintendo. You see, Nintendo wasn’t worth and will not be worth $30+ a share any time soon. Nintendo’s popularity has sunk into the abyss and its earnings are terrible at every quarter. Things just weren’t the same since the Wii and there are a lot of reasons behind it but that is irrelevant to this article. What is important to realize is that Nintendo only has 32% invested into Pokemon Go meaning it’s not an exclusive Nintendo game.You can blame those that were uneducated about it, or you could blame the emotions of people wanting to buy into the hype in hopes of making a quick sell. Nintendo was overvalued and to this day is still overvalued even though it’s set at around $26/share. But the hype was short lived, just after a week of trading their stocks plummeted faster than Team Rocket.What happened? News broke out that Nintendo didn’t really own much about Pokemon Go so they started selling quick, others followed suit probably because they had invested a lot (you can see the size was often 200 or 400) and were afraid the hype train was over, and it was. More news developed that investors should sell, sell and sell! Which made people more eager to sell their stocks and eventually the stocks made their way down to what it is today. But it seems like some people are still hopeful and are holding onto their losses, hoping for another comeback – perhaps with a Nintendo NX announcement or rumor that will push it forward. Who really knows?Nintendo broke records incidentally and you can blame the hype train for it. Although I jumped in on it a little late, I ended up making about $600 in 10 minutes then lost it all the following day when an announcement that Pokemon Go wasn’t going to release in Japan for some days due to a leak regarding a Mc Donalds trade. It was a fun ride but that’s really all it was; a ride with no real destination and could easily crash at any given second. No regrets on my end, I survived #NTDOY without too much damage but I can imagine those that bought tens of thousands at around $38/share to have felt the pain and misery accompanied from it. BREAKING UPDATE: Nintendo (NTDOY) stocks are up by over 7% today in light of the Nintendo NX rumors that have been circulating.
