Do not invest more money than you can afford to lose.
Russia-based forex broker InstaForex said on Monday it has expanded its product portfolio with contracts for difference (CFDs) on the shares of Japanese videogame giant Nintendo. The company’s shares are traded under the ticker symbol #NTDOY.
The broker said it decided on the move as investors view Nintendo’s shares as lucrative investment after the launch of Pokemon GO. The game was launched on 6 July, 2016, and is only available for mobile devices with Android or iOS operating systems. Following its boom, Nintendo’s shares reached their highest value of JPY 32.7 per unit, which is more than double as compared to pre-release. However, later the shares went back to their pre-Pokemon Go price after the majority of investors realized Nintendo was not directly involved with the game. The Japanese game developer owns a stake of 32% of The Pokemon Company, an affiliate that holds the rights to Pokemon, as well as a 13% stake in Niantic, the true developer of Pokemon GO.
