  1. The interesting thing about this is that Hasbro shares are currently only 50 cents USD a share. Hmmm, the day trader in me wonders now how easy it'd be to buy some shares and own a part of Hasbro...

    1. @roygbiv nice. But if it's not up already, I don't see how it will get bigger now...

      1. @shoutingryan I misquotyed the price. It's $49.32 USD a share. And with this article, more investors will want to buy stock as a 'safe' investment, so the price will go up more.

      2. @shoutingryan Not to mention bronies like myself who may want some stocks to say they own part of Hasbro. For the bronies, by the bronies!

          1. @shoutingryan Also, looked over the past prices. Before The Hub and ponies, the stock had dropped to below $40 USD a share. With the advent of The Hub, the stock rose in price to $44 USD, and then the internet phenomenon that is ponies broke loose to shoot the price to $48 USD. It's still rising and as I said before, nearly $50 USD a share. So not a bad growth. It's not millionares, but a good steady stock in this troubled market thanks to the Republican Posturing in Washington endangering all of America's credit rating... (FYI, the world banks today put forth an ultimatum to the US government to fix it NOW or they'll lower the credit rating from AAA to AA. This would cause ripple effects like higher interests since interest rates are based off the national interest, countries worldwide dumping TRILLIONS of invenstment dollars from the 'safest investment in the world' IE our Treasury, and a LOT of government employees & soldiers not getting paid.)

              1. @shoutingryan The easiest way is via a stockbroker or one of the online stock trading websites like Etrade (What I use). Once you own at least one of Hasbro stock, you may participate in Hasbro's Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Stock Purchase Program by calling Computershare at (800) 733-5001. For those outside the United States please call (781) 575-3400 or contact Computershare by writing to: Computershare Investor Services P.O. Box 43078 Providence, RI 02940-3078.
