<p>GameStop Corp. (<a class="inlinked" href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/gamestop-corp-new/gme/nys">GME</a>) April 21 and 22 calls are active on call option implied volatility of 42, compared to its 26-week average of 36, according to Track Data. Active call volume suggests traders positioning for larger price movement in Q4 results that are expected to be released on March 24.</p>

The Nintendo 3DS is supposed to deliver a fascinating, futuristic portable-gaming experience. The company's American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) have been compelling on their own. An active trader has had several opportunities in recent weeks to play the ups and the downs of this name. <br />
<br />
Today, the ADRs find themselves on the downside. At the time of this writing, they were off by 4.4% to $36.60; so far, the volume backing the price movement is lackluster. The 52-week low for the video-game giant is $31.10 while the 52-week high is $43.95.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2011/02/28/cautious-approach-with-nintendo/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Cautious Approach with Nintendo</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2011/02/28/cautious-approach-with-nintendo/">Cautious Approach with Nintendo</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Mon, 28 Feb 2011 15:40:00 EST.

Activision Blizzard (<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/activision-blizzard-inc/atvi/nas">ATVI</a>) is, as I write this, down 9.8% to $10.54. The intraday low so far is $10.51. The 52-week low is $9.99; the 52-week high is $12.65. The volume number is huge, way above average. There's the price perspective; what about some fundamental news? Management released earnings results for the fourth quarter yesterday after the bell. They weren't bad, really: non-<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/glossary/Generally%20Accepted%20Accounting%20Principles%20-%20GAAP">GAAP</a> income increased four pennies to <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/rtn/pr/activision-blizzard-reports-december-quarter-and-calendar-year-2010-financial-results/rfid413093718/?channel=pf">53 cents per share</a>. This was two pennies ahead of the estimate, according to <a href="http://www.earnings.com/company.asp?client=cb&amp;ticker=atvi">Earnings.com</a>. But there were a couple items in the report that made traders want to bolt.<br />
<br />
Let's start with the big headline. You see, the <em>Guitar Hero</em> asset, a peripheral/software system once well-known as a game with high quantities of play value, is now more famous (then again, infamous might be the preferred term) for its crashing popularity. Execs at the publisher have decided that it is <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/investing/activision-discontinues-guitar-hero-narrows-earnings-loss/19837592/">no longer in the interest</a> of shareholder value to continue making titles. Hey, Viacom (<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/viacom-inc-cl-b/via.b/nys">VIA.B</a>) is no longer interested in <em><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/11/11/viacom-up-on-earnings-numbers/">Rock Band</a></em>, so this does make a bit of sense, right?<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2011/02/10/activision-blizzard-buy-the-dip/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Activision Blizzard: Buy the Dip?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2011/02/10/activision-blizzard-buy-the-dip/">Activision Blizzard: Buy the Dip?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Thu, 10 Feb 2011 14:00:00 EST.

(<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/take-two-interactive-software-inc/ttwo/nas">TTWO</a>) reported earnings for the fiscal third quarter yesterday after the bell. Today, the market expressed its pleasure with the results. In fact, a new 52-week high of $15.50 was set this session.</p>
<p>At the time of this writing, the quote going across my screen was $14.82, a price that was representative of a 2% gain. Volume conviction is definitely present. Looking at the one-year <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/charts/take-two-interactive-software-inc/ttwo/nas/tech-chart">chart</a>, it can be seen that the uptrend in the shares continues on following the making of a low point near the end of August.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2011/02/09/take-two-trades-up-on-earnings-news/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Take-Two Trades Up on Earnings News</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2011/02/09/take-two-trades-up-on-earnings-news/">Take-Two Trades Up on Earnings News</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 09 Feb 2011 15:30:00 EST.

(<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/electronic-arts-inc/erts/nas">ERTS</a>) received a downgrade today, according to <a href="http://www.theflyonthewall.com/permalinks/entry.php/ERTSid1363156/ERTS-Electronic-Arts-downgraded-to-Hold-from-Buy-at-Brean-Murray">TheFly</a>. The company is now considered a hold by Brean Murray. What should investors make of this change? <br />
<br />
Well, looking at it a little over an hour to go before the end of the day, it's notable that the stock is up 1.6% to $15.37 and that volume isn't overwhelming. Encouraging? Perhaps. Whenever there's a downgrade, shareholders usually must brace themselves for a sell-off. Thankfully, that didn't happen in this case.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2011/01/24/electronic-arts-how-does-the-stock-look/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Electronic Arts: How Does the Stock Look?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2011/01/24/electronic-arts-how-does-the-stock-look/">Electronic Arts: How Does the Stock Look?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Mon, 24 Jan 2011 16:40:00 EST.

I think the shares remain interesting, and I'm wondering if they could be a viable trade idea at this point.<br />
<br />
This idea is not without significant risk. To begin with, the video-game industry still has its challenges: we're getting along in the current console cycle, and now, not a few gamers/investors are wondering when the next one will begin. Plus, Take-Two is arguably a candidate for profit-taking after its recent run-up (please see the <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/charts/take-two-interactive-software-inc/ttwo/nas/tech-chart">chart</a>). Management will issue its next <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/rtn/pr/take-two-interactive-software-inc-to-report-fiscal-third-quarter-2011-results-on-tuesday-february-8-2011/rfid403589755/?channel=pf">quarterly report</a> on February 8. Do you want to be in the stock ahead of this event? It's an important question to ask.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2011/01/13/is-take-two-a-trade/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Is Take-Two a Trade?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2011/01/13/is-take-two-a-trade/">Is Take-Two a Trade?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Thu, 13 Jan 2011 17:00:00 EST.

(<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/thq-inc/thqi/nas">THQI</a>). She brings into focus a licensing deal between the video-game publisher and Mattel, Inc. (<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/mattel-inc/mat/nas">MAT</a>). There was also mention of the incredible price action in the stock. So, what are investors to make of the thesis? What about traders?</p>
<p>This is a tricky one. And I've been wrong about THQ's prospects before. It's certainly difficult to predict the movement of a stock that's priced in the single digits. At the time of this writing, the shares were trading at a quote of $6.26.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2011/01/06/thq-is-it-time-to-buy-or-to-take-profits/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>THQ: Is It Time to Buy or to Take Profits?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2011/01/06/thq-is-it-time-to-buy-or-to-take-profits/">THQ: Is It Time to Buy or to Take Profits?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Thu, 06 Jan 2011 17:30:00 EST.

It's a fun stock to watch. And the company is pretty fun, too. How can you not like the business behind both<em> Call of Duty</em> and <em>Pitfall</em>? </p>
<p>Those who've read my prior pieces on this subject probably know what I'm about to say in regard to the recent bullishness in the shares: Take profits now. Yes, the stock continues to scare me a bit. Well, maybe more than a bit. I know that the latest <em>Call of Duty</em> title is doing <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/company-news/call-of-duty-black-ops-sales-1-billion-and-growing/19772819/">incredibly well at retail</a>, but I also know that <em>Guitar Hero</em> is no longer on every teenager's Christmas wish list.

The numbers sent the stock higher in the extended-hours session: Shares gained over 6%, rising to $12.68. Is it time to buy?<br />
<br />
Take-Two is getting interesting, I have to admit. I was bearish on the company <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/07/02/take-two-interactive-buy-or-sell/">back in July</a>. Now, the recent price action and the strong stats have got me looking quite seriously at the bull case.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/12/17/take-two-has-a-great-quarter-should-you-buy/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Take-Two Has a Great Quarter: Should You Buy?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/12/17/take-two-has-a-great-quarter-should-you-buy/">Take-Two Has a Great Quarter: Should You Buy?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Fri, 17 Dec 2010 10:00:00 EST.

Hey, they very well could be.<br />
<br />
However, if you took a look at a recent <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL3E6N605E20101208?">Reuters</a> article, you might suddenly question the idea of stocking up on those very same ADRs. That's because, simply put, the cultural status of the Wii seems to be further weakening. Not only that, but the extremely popular Nintendo DS handheld system is facing increasing competition from other devices.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/12/09/nintendo-buy-or-sell/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Nintendo: Buy or Sell?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/12/09/nintendo-buy-or-sell/">Nintendo: Buy or Sell?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Thu, 09 Dec 2010 18:00:00 EST.

(<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/gamestop-corp-new/gme/nys">GME</a>) is down about 3.8% at the time of this writing. That places the quote at $20.20. Volume is pretty heavy.

Looks like the market isn't exactly sure what to do with this company as the shares are at a comfortable distance between the two extremes.</p>

(<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/thq-inc/thqi/nas">THQI</a>) reported earnings for the fiscal second quarter last week. How does the stock look after the numbers? <br />
<br />
Well, to begin with, we're dealing with an equity that is priced in the single digits. At the time of this writing, shares were exchanging hands for $4.14. The 52-week low is $3.33 while the 52-week high is $8.29. As can be seen from the <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/charts/thq-inc/thqi/nas/tech-chart">chart</a>, the stock has basically collapsed since peaking back in April. If you look at the corporate <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/rtn/pr/thq-reports-fiscal-2011-second-quarter-results-in-line-with-guidance/rfid383325877/?channel=pf">press release</a> detailing the Q2 data, you may understand what all the bearishness is about. On a non-<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/glossary/Generally%20Accepted%20Accounting%20Principles%20-%20GAAP">GAAP</a> basis, the loss per share widened to 60 cents compared to a loss of 37 cents in the year-ago period. Also, the top line experienced a decline.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/11/08/time-to-check-in-on-thq/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Time to Check In on THQ</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/11/08/time-to-check-in-on-thq/">Time to Check In on THQ</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Mon, 08 Nov 2010 15:30:00 EST.

Strong volume accompanied the dip. It's a shame, because the latest earnings report wasn't all that bad. </p>
<p>According to the <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/article/activision-3q-earnings-more-than-triple/1201457/">Associated Press</a>, adjusted income of 12 cents per share was three pennies ahead of the consensus estimate. The top line, after taking into account some items, also beat projections.

And Wednesday's price action, the day after the video-game publisher's fiscal second-quarter results were released to investors, was awful: the stock lost over 4%, settling on a quote of $15.50, not too far away from the 52-week low of $14.06.<br />
<p>
Shareholders would love to see a breakout above $20.24. When will it happen? Difficult to say.

How should investors view the stock?<br />
<br />
Right now, I'm not so positive on the shares. They were trading at a quote of $11.39 at the time of this writing. The 52-week low for the shares is $9.93; the 52-week high is $12.58. The <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/charts/activision-blizzard-inc/atvi/nas/tech-chart">chart</a> shows an up-down pattern that probably doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in investors. You get the feeling that putting capital to work in this name will inevitably lead to a dead-money situation.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/11/03/activision-blizzard-set-to-report-earnings-buy-the-stock/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Activision Blizzard Set to Report Earnings: Buy the Stock?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/11/03/activision-blizzard-set-to-report-earnings-buy-the-stock/">Activision Blizzard Set to Report Earnings: Buy the Stock?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 03 Nov 2010 15:00:00 EST.

I do. It's a fun sector. And there's such theoretical potential for growth (assuming compelling titles are produced that can compete with casual online offerings and can command a decent price premium).<br />
<br />
But you're nervous. I know I am. We've been hearing how the industry isn't necessarily doing as well as it had been. And with the latest sales report, we have further confirmation that caution may be the best strategy for investors when it comes to dealing with ideas like Activision Blizzard Inc. (<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/activision-blizzard-inc/atvi/nas">ATVI</a>) and Electronic Arts Inc.

The video-game business isn't as unambiguously hot as it was before, and the future of physical media is in doubt as we continue to move deeper into the digital age. But there are reports out today that might be more troubling than those topics.<br />
<br />
Inarguably, the big element of this retailer's business model is its used-game strategy. Players love to visit their local GameStop locations to trade in console software or to buy software that someone else gave back (sometimes they may even do both). But what if the company were suddenly to be disallowed from engaging the practice? Would that ruin the prospects for shareholder value?<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/10/12/gamestop-down-today-buy-or-sell/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>GameStop Down Today -- Buy or Sell?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/10/12/gamestop-down-today-buy-or-sell/">GameStop Down Today -- Buy or Sell?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Tue, 12 Oct 2010 15:30:00 EST.

The video-game publisher has been in the news recently. Yesterday, <a href="http://www.streetinsider.com/Analyst+Comments/UBS+Maintains+a+Buy+on+Electronic+Arts+%28ERTS%29%3B+They%E2%80%99re+Making+Good+Games/6018694.html">StreetInsider</a> reported that UBS is keeping a buy rating on the shares.

<br />
I last wrote about EA <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/06/08/electronic-arts/">back in June</a>. Although at the time I believed buying the stock was a risky trade, I thought building a position in it could be rewarding. The shares went down after that article, but they have rebounded in recent weeks.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/10/07/is-electronic-arts-getting-interesting-again/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Is Electronic Arts Getting Interesting Again?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/10/07/is-electronic-arts-getting-interesting-again/">Is Electronic Arts Getting Interesting Again?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Thu, 07 Oct 2010 09:00:00 EST.

It has to do with disappointment surrounding the release date of the Nintendo 3DS hand-held system -- which will miss the holiday season -- as well a bad <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/company-news/nintendo-cuts-profit-forecast-and-says-new-3-d-device-will-miss/19654300/">profit outlook</a> (I'm presuming the latter issue was more responsible for the bearishness than the former one).</p>

The question is, should an investor buy the company's American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) on pullbacks? What kind of opportunity do they represent? Yesterday, they closed down 4.9% to $31.20.
