Nintendo Co., Ltd (TYO)

Nintendo share price up 53% in 3 days.

How often has a company with this size market cap moved higher so fast? Can anyone think of other examples?

Nintendo shares up 53% as investors try to catch ‘em all

I like this:

No doubt it's a fad that won't last long, but my two supposedly young adult sons were out this afternoon tying to catch Pokemon. I think it will go the same way as Ingress - does anyone still play that?

Not sure if this will die off terribly quick, Pokemon has a HUGE following and it's a fairly cool idea for a game, actually going out and exercising and finding them all etc.

I've heard they're going to be implementing a worldwide ranking ladder system too, which could make people go extra mental over it

I would say this will be the start of a bunch of these types of apps/games, can just see a detective type game where you have to go around and solve virtual crimes and such.

I've started it and I'll play on my morning walks....looks interesting!

So the stock doubles and 150% of the free float changes hands and then...
