All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Games Workshop Group), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Games Workshop Group is a major part of the London stock exchange, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

April 7, 2024: Reports suggest that insiders at Games Workshop are loading up on shares, with a number of existing significant shareholders (like the CEO and Executive Director) snapping up more stock.
Only you can make the decision on the time to leap... but here's some supporting information and analysis.
Over the last 12 months, Games Workshop Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as 8660.9076 up to 11384.7226. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (LSE average) beta is 1, while Games Workshop Group's is 1.263. This would suggest that Games Workshop Group's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Games Workshop Group P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Games Workshop Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 23x. In other words, Games Workshop Group shares trade at around 23x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
However, Games Workshop Group's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the leisure industry or those of similar companies.
Games Workshop Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £195.8 million.
