What'sHD · 07-06-2007, 04:45 AM

Any ideas wrt making money on the stock market as a result of hd-dvd dying off? I am now fairly certain hd-dvd is gonna die in 2008. And given that, perhaps some $ could me made.

Some of you must be investors. Inputs welcome.

P.S. I own SNE already.

Many of these company's have a hand in each other in some form or another so I wouldn't worry about trying to cash in on any of this.

I'm not a finance expert but IMO HD-DVD is such a tiny segment of MS that I doubt + or - in the short term would have much of a bearing on their stock.. Heck look at the 1+ billion 360 failure news, hardly budge.

Toshiba as well is freaking massive, PC's, TV's, (chip(s) in the PS3), etc.. They could go down and probably would still be very successful. Heck, you know they'd start making blu-ray players as well like they did make SACD, etc..

You could invest in put options which are betting that stock will go down by a certain date. You can also invest in stock like you are doing hoping it will go up.

The problem is everything known about a company is built into it's current stock price. So it makes it hard to guess the movement based off of current events. Wall Street knows HD-DVD is failing they don't read AVS for guidance.
