But it&#8217;s not for the usual reasons. \u00a0Check the video and see for yourself.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u2620 !Don&#039;t Buy a Nintendo Switch! \u2620\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jHEIV5hd9bg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Buy Nintendo Stock<\/h2>\n<p>The big idea is: Do you want a short-term reward, or a long-term reward? If you buy a Switch (or\u00a0<em>any<\/em> game console), you&#8217;ll be spending money you won&#8217;t get back. Every console loses value (just ask GameStop). If, however, you\u00a0<strong>invest<\/strong> your money in the game\u00a0<strong>company<\/strong>, you could gain value. The video explains how if you&#8217;d bought Nintendo Company stock ($NTDOY) in 1994 (instead of a SNES), you&#8217;d have nearly $3,000 in value. So what if you invest in Nintendo Company stock instead of buying another console? $$$<\/p>\n<h2>Actually&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>If you made it through the video, there is actually a happy medium: Go ahead and buy the Switch. It&#8217;s fun, after all! But also, buy Nintendo Company stock. As the company profits, so will you. Easy!<\/p>\n<h3>#ProTip<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re going to buy Nintendo Company stock, <a href=\"http:\/\/vmcampos.com\/#contact\" target=\"_blank\">send me an email to get a good deal from TDAmeritrade<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not click-bait!
