Hardware/Software stocks

Does anyone here invest/trade in hardware/game software company stocks? If so, which ones and how much do you own? Have you many any profits?

Wish I would have thought to invest in Blizzard when I first heard of WoW. Back then they were ~$3 a stock, now they're around $40.

Quizzical

I'm sure I've got something or other as part of index funds, but I don't try to pick particular stocks.  That's a fool's errand unless you've got the time to do it as a full time job--because you're competing against people who do.

I wouldn't want to trade daily, more looking to invest in stuff over a longer period, which I don't think is that big of an issue. For companies that have been on the rise for years maybe with occasional short lived dips, I don't think it's such a bad idea.

That is the trick, isn't it.

I wouldn't suggest investing in game company stocks. They have low profit margins and the dividends are not so great. Hardware companies can be a bit volatile and take a bit of research.
