Good time to buy stock in Square-Enix?

I get the feeling this would be a real good time to buy stock in Square Enix. >_>
Looking at this graph that covers the last 6-7 years of the company, you'll notice that the current close of about $16 is in around an all time low.

However ... it does make sense. SE is employing a crew of 300 people to work in FFXIV right now, in addition to outsourcing some of the project work. Even after subscriber fee intake, they are probably out over 1 Million each month in the red over this game. That's of course in addition to reportedly 5 years of development time lost before the original launch of 1.0

Faith in the company is fragile in the first place...
But SE is legitimately throwing everything they have at this game... and for those few of us here paying attention, we're in the know about a few details that aren't secret, but are not yet public knowledge.

The China contract for FFXIV will be a big impact maker for one... The luminous engine is just getting under way as well. ....and then there's the upcoming convention. Dragon Quest X online launched today and it looks good. The Ad campaign for FFXIV is set to begin in only a couple of weeks. ... On the announcement of a Deus Ex movie i am uncertain what to think on that one ...

In any case, i think it's silly to think that SE stock will go down any further. THIS, right now, is the low point. RIGHT NOW.

Will it go up to a modest $23-24, or as high as $45-50? Tough to say. I think it'll top $30 in the next three years though. That's a 2:1 investment and it could be pretty lucrative if you have enough overhead.

Plus, it supports FFXIV.

Um.. That ticker NEVER moves in terms of volume/cash. You want to buy SE shares you buy in JPY (Ticker: 9684.T).

I currently have some longs in SE and things were going good till that Versus XIII rumor came out. I've lost all my profits and waiting for it to come back.

I would not put any hopes in movie from SE, also until they confirm or deny what happened with Versus, it could either go up or down, also Type-0 has yet to be announced for the USA-EU market, and it's a solid game, SE being unable to comment or weather they will or not release it world wide really is concerning <.<

Why would you invest in a dying company?

It's fun to be in denial land, isn't it?
SE killed FFversus.
They keep milking the FFXIII series instead of making a new one.
SE canceled FFXIII-3.
FFXIV got 4.0 out of 10.
They are bleeding money. I wouldn't be surprised if they got bought by another big gaming company, like Nintendo.
That would actually save Square Enix.

1: SE did NOT cancel FF13 Vs. that was a rumor that Wada said was false.
2: I doubt they did, wheres your proof?
3: Thats why the hell we're getting a FF14 2.0, if your so negative and think the company is failing why the hell are you playing one of their games?

SE isn't dying rofl.

>Versus is still in production.
>They just showed Agni's Philosophy at E3, which looks INCREDIBLE, especially if it turns out to be more than a tech demo.
>FFXIII-3 doesn't exist..? And they made FFXIII-2 for the fans of FNC, which I am among.
>FFXIV is getting relaunch as a completely new game.

Your arguments are silly and baseless lol.

Oh yeah? Where's your proof that versus is still in production, OTHER than wada's word "s-sure guys...it's s-s-still in production t-trust me guys!"
Absolutely no new info in several years = game will never come out.
