Review an article Nov. 30-Dec. 4

This artical is highlighting all the positive and negative sides of investing in Activision Blizzard. some of the positive highlights from the article are that Starcraft, Call of Duty, Guitar Hero & World of Warcraft have each sold millions of copies and are followed the world over. And BMO analyst also says "to the opportunity ahead of it," Activision Blizzard shares "represent attractive value." Bolstered by the annual half billion in cash flow from World of Warcraft, it has about $3 billion in cash and no debt on its balance. But some of the negatives are that the videogame market has suffered to recent economic slumps. Sales of videogames have fallen dramatically the past 5 months, with annual growth this year likely to be in the low single digits, compared with 20% in 2008.

Article from the USA Today Money Page Nov. 30- Dec. 4

The idea of the artical from the USA Today Money Page is if Activision Blizzard is a good stock to invest in. This artical reviews the the pros and cons to purchasing this stock. Their first point was the risk vs. reward factor, which is a 370% higher return you accepted 307% higher risk. But the risk-return is almost in balance. Also Activision and Blizzard, the software giant does not have reliable long-term historical information for this analysis. Bottom line it's definitely not a stock for someone looking for a slow-and-steady investment.
