Video Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Cool. I bought like 2k shares when they were like 35 cents. Now that $700~ish is close to 2000$. I figure its the vcs. Most people don't know or care what Atari is, but many old fogies like us are at least aware of it, wether they keep track of it or not, others will see the vcs launch, look it up (if their the stock type) be like "holy s#!t its only a buck?" And buy shares. Regardless of what the vcs does, stocks will shift a lot just because of that. I wish the vcs luck, glorified set top android box that it is, at least it is being released in stores unlike many others, which should grant it a lot of publicity, long as Atari and/or game stop don't eff it up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well keep in mind that every significant new tech and concept in the internet age sounded riduculous to people at first but yet turned out to be viable. I remember back in the 90s business people dismissing the Internet as more or less a foolish pastime, saying "nobody has figured out how to make money from it!" Then came the dotcoms-- then they went bust, but then they came back with viable business models this time. There are also things like crowdsourcing, crowdfunding and crypto curriencies that many thought were ridiculous, and some still do, but they have made people money So even though the NFT concept sounds crazy and I'm a bit skeptical, past history has taught me that I shouldn't completely write it off. For the title of this topic it does matter what the underlying price is... "Why is the atari stock so high?" Answer...it's not high. It's "higher" than it was but not HIGH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, but most small time investors like us don't have the means to buy/sell enough to impact the stock price that much. If you're a company exec with millions in stock options, you won't be able to unload it at once without tanking the price, but for people selling a few hundred shares, it's not an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 PONGF was around $0.45 the last time I looked. Now it's around $1.00. The question should be why did atari stock go up $0.55? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Mushroom Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 The stock dropped 17% today. I don´t know if there is some news behind it, or just speculation. Probably the latter. I made a brief search, and didn´t find anything. And no, I wasn´t searching my briefs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are down a similar amount it might suggest that's what's been moving Atari's stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing that is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Why is atari stock so low? It was over a dollar three months ago, now it's 42 cents? If I had a bunch of atari stock and sold it in April, I could have made some money! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is mostly the fall in the value of Ethereum, which is the relevant currency for a lot of Atari´s crypto endeavours. Another reason is probably the announcement that Atari will take a 5 million euro write down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+x=usr(1536) Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Now the €5m write-down makes sense: someone had to find the number that would stop Ronaldinho being doubled-over in hysterics at the thought of an Atari cryptocurrency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's not exactly their set but LEGO's. And that's a company which manufactures product so great that they don't even need to be listed. All Atari has (that matters), on the other hand, is a trademark license they can peddle to various entities. And how much did they get for this deal, I wonder? 5K? 50? Even if it was half a mil, it's still a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
