Why I Sold Activision Blizzard

15 days
Filed under: Electronic Arts (ERTS), Activision Inc (ATVI), Stocks to Sell  Well, I finally did it. Last week, I sold my position in Activision Blizzard (ATVI), at a price of $10.62 per share. I thought about it long and hard, but in the end, I felt it was the right thing for me to do at this time.
<>In case you haven't noticed, shares of the video game publisher have been in something of a downtrend as of late. The industry isn't what it used to be. Gaming isn't going away, certainly, but those who follow this sector will no doubt agree that the growth is possibly no longer there, at least for ...

Will Goldman Lose its Shine? Goldman Sachs (GS)
<>In spite of decent news from Goldman, the Dow dropped and stocks were mediocre. While the investment bank’s quarterly earnings declined 11% on slower trading, Goldman still avoided much of the credit crisis woes that have plagued other banks. However, Fox Pitt Kelton securities analyst David Trone says it will be a while before Goldman is a buy, because government regulation is looming over all the brokers; “their long term returns are going to be permanently suppressed and in my opinio< /><>< /><><><>< /><>< />...

Filed under: Industry, Microsoft (MSFT), Sony Corp ADR (SNE), Electronic Arts (ERTS), Activision Inc (ATVI), Stocks to Buy At least one of my stocks is doing pretty well in this terrible, depressing market environment. Activision (NASDAQ: ATVI) hit a new 52-week high of $36.84 on Tuesday. It closed a little below that, but it was a great, high-volume day for the stock, one that saw the shares rise almost 5%. <>Yes, with the Dow Jones index shedding 100 points, with every other stock in my portfolio in the red, including MFA (NYSE: MFA), which closed down to $6.66 -- the number of the beast, my...

Currently Invested in Activision, But EA Merits Consideration
ATVI
-37.48%
in
635 days
5/14 - "EA was forecast to only break-even on a non-GAAP basis, so the difference was a nice $0.09. In terms of operational cash flow, EA increased the metric by 33% during the fourth quarter, but for the full year, operational cash flow decreased 15%. Ah, such is life, I guess. Nevertheless, EA produced 27 titles that sold over a million units this year -- three more than in the previous year. Fifteen of its titles sold over 2 million units -- five more than the last fiscal period. Titles such as Army of Two and Rock Band, as well as various sports franchises, drove the results."

5/14 - "Although the quarter beat analysts' expectations on an adjusted basis, many investors seem to be thinking "game over," especially since EA turned in a rather tepid forecast and gave reason to believe that the pesky "enhancing profitability" portion of EA's picture remains fuzzy at best.
EA also said it will stop offering quarterly forecasts. Although corporations' forecasts can be unreliable, I'm not sure what EA's decision to stop giving them at all -- at a time when many investors are already wondering what the heck its deal is -- says about its chances of getting its act togethe...

The acquisition of Blizzard Entertainment by activision will prove to be a very profitable move. Blizzard's flawless, record setting track record of excellence in computer game sales will be continued throughout 2008 with the release of the WOW expansion Wrath of the Lich King and Starcraft II. Worldwide sales records will be broken boosting profits dramatically, as was the case for both prequels.

Both companies make good games. Their games don't collide (Blizzard is more focused on strategic games). Also ATVI had several stock splits (never reverse) over the years. So yeah, this stock price will definitely will go up before they merge in 2008.

Every once in a while a game software company hits it big with a franchise. Nintendo has it in Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong and Mario Brothers. Take Two was the envy of all videogame companies with its GTA series and now we have Activision rocking out with record sales of its Guitar Hero games. This will be a blow out Xmas season for this title. It will be the "must buy" gift. True, it is priced into the stock somewhat, but there has been recent weakness thanks to the overall market. It's time to get in.
