I got burned badly on that one too. However, to be fair, this month's numbers are unusual. Nov and Dec aside, this month had the highest sales for a game at #10 in the NPD list since June 2008 (and the third highest since NPD records begin). My Excel-fu tells me that historical sales for the Sep #10 spot were 139k for 2007 and 158k for 2008, and 2009 sales have been trending below 2008 thus far. All this led me to think that my short on Ninja Gaiden would be safe.
I'm not averse to it, it's just another factor that needs to be considered before investing. I turned a large profit based on that rule last month with shorts on Wii Play, Wii Fit and Wolfenstein.
