Atard-atari

reverse splits have become faves of mo-mo players...

see FMDAD for the most recent other one, but there have been a bunch.
 
When I first saw this on the top gainers list, I thought "Oh god...what is this..."

Well, setting personal differences aside, I decided to take a closer look at the stock and I thought it was still horrible. My mouth opened thinking what has happened to the company that started the whole video game craze.

Then I saw a few promising signs which are the following:

Shares Outstanding: 13.48M
Float: 6.52M

then I saw this...

Short float with the reverse split. Headlines coming out all the time on videos. This might be a good stock to closely monitor, but of course, seeing a decline of over 10 years since 1998 with NO LET UP, I cant recommend this EVER as a hold unless you want to gamble.
 
Atari 2600 rocks, my brother and I put up $100 to buy it in what 82? Now he is a NASA rocket scientist and I am a lowly trader. Maybe it is trailing the apple 2e we bought in 83 or 84 for several thousand dollars. Buy atari!
 
Its not the video games that I hate, but management itself. They have been a failure for a long time and it started out in the late 70s with Steve Jobs. They could have owned half of Apple for $50,000, but they turned it down.
