Come on guys, there's no way that "the investors" are getting secret announcements or information. That is incredibly illegal.

Uh, is there a reason why Nintendo stock just jumped 700 yen to 15,020 yen per share?

Incredibly illegal and incredibly commonplace.
Except for with Nintendo, where Iwata basically says "Fuck off" to his investors in the nicest way possible when they ask stuff like "Why didn't you give out WiiFits during the biggest natural disaster in the country's history?"

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Same.
I'm quite frankly expecting the worse with Q3 and expect the stock to underperform going forward; hence, I sold my position and banked my profits. Like you, I'm potentially looking to get back in after.
wow, some parts of that article are golden!

gaming in a nutshell, I guess
Ah ha! I see. So I guess with one billion people as an entirely new market will Nintendo begin to develop titles that appeal to the Chinese market? Wait what am I saying, I'm sure Mario is going to sell gangbusters there. Pricing isn't an issue for Chinese anymore is it? They now have a better average income yeah? I'm sure Chinese having been buying Big Macs for a while now.
Although that doesn't explain why Sony's stock dropped, and why Microsofts hasn't raised... Maybe Netflix isn't popular in China- wait no it's not available in China. But with that logic why do they sell in Australia? ¯\_(ツ
_/¯Then again Nintendo only produce video games. Might as well put the eggs in the basket where people put all their eggs. Eggs and eggs alone.

It's that China opened up for console sales. it was reported widely in European newspapers. As was it that Nintendo stock is worth a lot more than Sony's right now -- who are actually in pretty bad shape (this has more to do with all their other divisions, not the ps4).
lol "specifically for the Wii". Dear lord....
Hope you are just being funny because that actually does happen

Very forward thinking.
They sell off all their hardware divisions and only make Mario Endless Runners!

I have always been interested in owning stock in a few videogame companies including Nintendo but I have no idea how I would go about buying it. I'm not interested in buying mental amounts or making money, I just think it would be cool to own a small part of them.
Any tips on how to go about it, also how hard is it to sell the stock when you don't want it anymore ?
Thanks for any info given

Right, of course it happens. People here are acting like huge groups of investors are being treated to official presentations behind the scenes, like an investors-only pre-conference or something. That's what I'm saying is ridiculous. Of course individuals take advantage of insider trading, but their trades don't cause big stocks like this to go up by the amounts we're seeing.
A guy like Warren Buffet can cause a stock to soar or collapse based on a single trade, but I highly doubt Nintendo has a shareholder who is both as influential as a Warren Buffet and also made a huge trade on his Nintendo stock before this major jump started.

Guys, I heard the audio on that Nintendo story live on NPR's All Things Considered. If this is the story that guy is referencing about the CEO change,then there is absolutely no mention of a new CEO. In fact, the overall tone of the story was rather positive and said that Nintendo has a mostly good long-term outlook. So unless there was a breaking story that was not a part of this, I don't think anything is been announced with regards to a new CEO.
Good plan. If I had stock I would definitely sell now.
+5% could be them just saying they have another wii-u price drop in time for mario kart or smash bros, or possibly nice advertising fund/marketing campaign secured as well. Or maybe something big for the 3DS.
A new CEO though? Weird, iOS/third-party related? Wii U has time. They were lazy though.

With Wii U having the possibility of being sold in China much cheaper than sony and microsoft, and Nintendo having some experience on the market with the iQUE devices, if the Wii U is officially released in China I imagine que console having a total 180 degree turn and finishing leader of this generation just because of a chinese model.
I wonder if Chinese devs jump on ship and start developing countless clones for Wii U that are actually good clones.

The thousands of secret investors get secret infos on their secret investor phones (you get one for each ten shares) so they can make sophisticated decicions about their money. Happens every day.

It's a bigger company than Sony I read somewhere on GAF. That's mind blowing.
Nintendo currently has a larger market cap than Sony. Not having debt and paying a large dividend to investors each year will do that for you vs. having loads of debt in Sony's case, and posting losses in key divisions.

Oh god, I can actually see this happening after the December Media Create numbers.

Eerily enough, so can I.
"Wii U continues to show improvement with 26x increases throughout this holiday season. Clearly with numbers like this, Wii U will turnaround and become an important pillar to Nintendo's core strategy. We look forward to maintain this momentum through the year with Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros., and Legend of Zelda. Please understand."
Countries don't work like that. China is VERY different from Japan as far as video games go.
Nintendo's decade-long experimentation in China with the iQue family hasn't been all that successful for Nintendo, and physical piracy / bootlegs is extremely rampant in the country. They have an expectation of piracy. Selling Nintendo games at the equivalent of $60 may not get them very far given these circumstances.
I want a secret investor phone! I have enough money in the company to deserve one!

Would be interesting if the majority of those stocks going up was because of professional Chinese buyers. I'd be very keen to buy as many as possible if that were the case.
