I don't even know. :?:

The Volume stat is what you're looking for. It shows that today, 16.63 million GAME shares were traded. Market capitalisation is the total amount of shares in the market times the current price, and currently stands at 22 million. I'll assume the low "shares total" is an error on Google's part.

I'm tempted to take a similar gamble here.

Given the current share price I thought it was worth a risk for a hundred quid. I'm hoping they'll do relatively well over the christmas period to give them a good start to going up.

...if they thought they were going to have a good Christmas, surely they wouldn't have revised their numbers in the first place?

Come January/February I honestly think it is going to be carnage in the high street. So many retailers are sooo close to buckling under and they are holding out in the hope that Christmas can give them a stay of execution...all the signs are that this isn't going to happen. Bad times ahead methinks.

So massive potential for clearance sales bargains?

it's a reasonable risk i think. It's not the sort of amount of money that will break you if they collapse but it could give a little bonus if they recover.

Shares are up 5% so far today :)

Besides, this gives me an excuse for shopping at Game when people criticise me. I'm supporting my investment :lol:

Just over a penny per share. As soon as they hit 8p I'm in profit.

£100 got me 1,352 shares at the time. Given they have about 347 million shares.....I think we might struggle more than we initially thought :shifty:

I bought Rayman Origins from them instore today, but only because I had a £15 gift card that was given to me in March. I picked up the copy that they had mistakingly put a £39.99 sticker on instead of the others which had £42.99 stickers on. It went through the till at the higher price but as soon as I pointed it out, the girl behind the till reduced it to the lower price for me. :) Hopefully no one will ever give me one of their gift cards again.

Really? For a £100 investment? Where the minimum transaction costs alone are going to be in the region of £7.50 (the fee for execution-only transactions on The Share Centre) so you'll have to make a whopping 15% return just to break even? And this for a company that the City (where they have a large professional staff who do this for a living) thinks is going down the toilet?

Take your money to the casino instead and plonk it all on red. It'll be about as rewarding, not to mention a fun evening out. And they might provide you with a free drink to boot!

Was it only one copy that had the wrong price? We only honour a price if the majority of the games have the incorrect price on them. If it was just one then you'd have no luck.

i'm not convinced it's as big a gamble.

I guess both are gambling but i'm not talking small amounts on something that i've a feeling will come back in one form or another.

We just sold a load of shares at 19 pound per share that had slumped to 2 pounds some years ago. Sometimes it's worth a little go.

I wouldn't put any money in I couldn't afford to lose though so yes i guess it's gambling really.
