At 50 cents a share, they file bankruptcy.

 

Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware

"Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."

LOL fail.  If any of you are really rich, just buy out the company and do whatever you want to the game, lawl.

It's far easier making money on Funcom as the stock plummets (shorting) than it would be to buy the company and try and make it profitable.

Most of us that invest knew the company was going bust when it was at about $30 in late June and we saw the mass exodus of players.   Shorting the company at $25 and riding it down to $5 would have turned a $10k investment into a $40k profit in 3 months.   I think Lit covered around $10, so he basically tripled his money in 3 months.

I just wonder who the guy is who bought funcom stock at $55 back in May... that guy may need some counseling.

Current price of 'owning' funcom is 44M

Ya that is a hilarious stock picture it would look even worse if it was not exponential. 

But Funcom has made an impressive move up today (lol) and for the fanbois it has went up 8%!  Of course over two days it is still down 8% but hey why worry about such things...
