  1. take two is def a thumbs up now grand theft auto series, and all 2k games.
  2. Take Two thumbs down?.. really? I bet those who made their way after GTA V release is screaming with hyena laughter at this analysis right now.
  3. Great idea! How about a parallel Duffers Fund for ubfrustrated golfers?
  4. I would definitely invest in Take Two, GTA V was the highest selling game in history, invest when it's quiet and keep informed of upcoming releases that people  are literally lining up for and you'll see a huge return on your investment.
  5. I'd simply want to invest in Video games because every time I played, I'd have a portion of that.
  6. That may be true, though gaming is so spread out it is challenging to really tell which will be successful or not. It may be popular the first month or two, yet many people will slowly lose interest after playing it constantly. Take mobile devices for example, numerous games come out, it may gross to the top 10, then people gradually lose interest. There are numerous video game "companies" that have gone out of business.
  7. The social gaming era is the future of gaming. Although I have a feeling that you mean Facebook gaming, in which case I agree. I only bother investing when they release a big title, due to guaranteed growth for at least the first week.
  8. I wouldn't invest in any at all. Take EA and Zynga for example. Their stock has plumeted. the social gaming era is over. Ive been reading into some investor reports only about 3 out of 7 start up gaming companies survive.
