As for the latest dive... when did the NCsoft financial report come out? Maybe that has something to do with it?

Don't overreact. That's the sort of fluctuation that happens. Look at the view over five years for some perspective.

Now if they get down to 50,000 a share, back where they were in 2008, then you'll see some panic.

Short write up from one source on the reason for the big slide in the stock.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/49736295

It mention the reason is a dim forecast earnings until "Blade and Soul" is released in the Chinese market next year.  Gives impression the stock value could be suppressed for a while.  Markets are fickle so to each your own opinion.

Today they hit a new 52-week low that, from what I can tell from the charts, is the lowest their stock has been in about 2 years. 

Stay strong!

Indeedm, though that one has been a fairly brief blip (December 2010-January 2011). Last time their stock has been around this value for a longer amount of time was in June 2010.
We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.

June 2010... that was the Garriott ruling, wasn't it?

You know, regardless of whether Obama's re-election is causing a world-wide stock market crash, our efforts can only help to make NCSoft's fall even faster. So keep it up.

I don't think this will ever happen, but isn't it entertaining to imagine plunging them down to cheap enough that we could buy their whole company? (Then again, I'm a guy who only buys lottery tickets when it's a 100 million-to-one ratio of payout to ticket price, and THEN considers it money spent on the entertainment value of imagining what I'd do with that much money. I know I'm spending money I won't see again; it's why I buy just one, and enjoy the fantasy.)

Ahhh yes of course. Stands to reason that Wall Street are in a panic that Obama's been re-elected. He's about the most anti-business chief executive this country has ever had.

Of course he is!  He's an Illinois political hack!  If they're not chasing businesses away, they aren't "doing their job".

While lobbyists would kill it dead, I wish Congress here in the States at least would institute a law confiscating ALL proceeds from illegal activity.

VERY slippery slope that.

Blow a red light?  That's illegal!  We're taking your car.

Killed a burglar breaking into your house and have someone classify it as unjustified?  That's homicide.  That's illegal!  We're taking your house!

The laws get changed so that something your business is doing, that was perfectly legal before, is now considered "wrong"?  We're taking your business!

Yeah.  While part of me wishes the "war on crime" had more muscle, all those protections on personal liberty and property, that politicians seem so blithely intent on eroding, are there for a reason.

They did that exactly to Megaupload - and last I heard, they refused to return the seized assets and hardware, long after the seizure and other events leading to it were proven unlawful in and of themselves.

Pretty sure the penalty for homicide is a little more severe than that. I can't speak from personal experience, but I consider my source to be pretty reliable, so you can trust me on it.  ;)
I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

Depends on where you live.  Here in Alaska, I'm pretty sure you can kill a burglar who breaks into your house. :)

In the lower 48, though, I've heard stories of burglars breaking into houses, they fall down and hurt themselves, and get away with lawsuits against the owners.  People down there are nuts, it would never fly up here...but then again, we're barbarians up here.  We give away road kill to people who sign up for it :D

not in texas, you break in someone house and they shoot you and you live, the first question authorities will ask the owner is why didnt you kill him? In fact they only have to be merely trespassing. In other states those No trespassing signs may be a joke. Here, it's serious buisness. It means they warned you, you ignored, so they can shoot you no questions asked.

As long as you don't shoot him in the back, you're good to go.  If you shoot them in the back, there will be more questions, but you're probably still going to be OK.

Looks like they finally levelled out at around 170,500, currently sitting at 171,000.  They're still lower now than they have been in years.
