2012年最离谱的11项预测

Zynga值得买进

    去年新年夜，华尔街7位分析师将社交游戏开发商Zynga的股票评级定为买进或卖出。其中5人推荐买进FarmVille等常青网络游戏背后的这家社交游戏公司。他们给出的该股12个月目标价平均值为：11.70美元。2012年12月19日，Zynga的股价为：2.40美元。

    Zynga到底哪里出了问题还有待探讨。继去年12月进行高估值IPO（70亿美元）之后，似乎除了下跌，也别无它途。该公司完全依赖Facebook获得用户，提供的休闲游戏则意味着一旦用户买到了FarmVille中所有选择，就会离开。今年Zynga表现不佳，但接下来或有反弹可能：该公司最近表示，正在寻求获得内华达州博彩执照。如果如愿以偿，将来用户可以在游戏中押上真金白银。该股股价受此消息推动跃升了5%。毕竟，Zynga还有希望。

Zynga is a Buy

    As of New Year's Eve last year, it was the job of seven Wall Street analysts to rate Zynga's stock a sell or buy. Five of them recommended buying the social gaming company behind such timeless titles as FarmVille. Their average 12-month price target for the stock: $11.70. The price of Zynga shares as of Dec. 19, 2012: $2.40.

    Where it all went wrong for Zynga is up for debate. After its rich IPO last December, which valued the company at $7 billion, there may not have been anywhere to go but down. The company was wholly reliant on Facebook for users, and its casual games meant that users left once they purchased all the FarmVille turnips they could bear. While it's been a rough year for Zynga, a comeback might be in order: the company recently said it was pursuing a Nevada gambling license to allow users to bet real money on games. Shares jumped 5% on the news. Zynga has hope after all.
