Re: Is it time to buy Zenga?

Casual players don't pay much attention to rake. And pros follow casual players.

I remember back in the good old days when WSEX came out with a rake free poker site. They were the toughest games I'd ever played. It was just a small group of pros and bonus whore nits who wet their pants at the thought of rake free poker.

Re: Is it time to buy Zenga?

this thread is hilarious btw, it's just a bunch of fish buying a stock based purely on rumors and hysteria and paying no attention to fundamentals or the competence of the management.

Re: Is it time to buy Zenga?

Thought I would give this thread a bump

ZNGA down about 24% for the last month of trading

How sick is that

I think this is trading at 15 times forward earnings
which is ridiculously low for a recent IPO.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ae?s=ZNGA+Analyst+Estimates

Earnings to be released next Wednesday after the bell.

I want to be long going into this earnings release in my opinion

Stay long.... stay strong

Re: Is it time to buy Zenga?

I don't think this company is worth much, they don't make anything of value and the stock is down -70% in the last 4.5 months. Cash flow negative.

Looks like another pets.com

Words with Friends is buggy and annoying. You'd think a supposed $bilion game co could do a better job on one of their flagship products.

I still think they have an inside edge should online poker ever make a real comeback.

Their free version of poker already makes more money than almost every other paid game on Android.

How many of their players are under 21 and will bail when real money is involved?

Probably a ton, but how many will join once real money is involved? Not as many but quite a few still.

Then again, we are talking millions and millions of current players, so even a fraction of those could be significant.

Something smells on FarmVille

I was so wrong about this stock, so wrong, so many times.

that said, I wouldnt bother selling at these levels,

think of it as a longterm option investment with no expiration date.

Maybe real money poker will save Zynga ?

Re: Is it time to buy Zenga?

I told you when the product stinks that's a sign of something rotten. If a company valued at supposedly $1B at one time can't fix basic UI bugs that have been around for years - that's a very very bad sign.

Re: Is it time to buy Zenga?

There is talk that it might sink to $2 or less. Are they competent enough to run an online cash based poker site? Their recent collapse also makes them a target for a takeover.

Re: Is it time to buy Zenga?

Zynga up 14% today on no news. Time to buy or time to sell?

I could see this stock being worth $10+ again on a couple of good earnings reports, then again I could easily see today's high the highest it ever gets until it's sold to Facebook for $0.75 a share. Reading the tea leaves is hard on this one.
