Overlooked Sectors: Video Game Industry

We believe that the Video Game industry has been overlooked. There are not many ETFs or mutual funds that are solely dedicated to this sector. It is considered a niche market, although it is supported by large industry players like Sony, Microsoft and Asian industry giants like Tencent and TakeTwo. However, the industry is a money-making cash machine for many businesses, and hit games like 'Pokeman Go' help firms generate gross margins of over 40% in the industry. .

For large software and hardware behemoths like Microsoft, the video gaming segment is wrapped in its Personal Computing Operating Segment which includes Gaming, Xbox hardware; Xbox Live, comprising transactions, subscriptions, and advertising; video games; and third-party video game royalties. This segment may only represent about 10% of total Revenues for Microsoft but the profit margins from this segment are tremendous.

Our current Subscriber Pool called TEAM contains 5 of the top video gaming stocks in the industry. Subscriptions are as low as $50 per month for this Pool but the returns are expected to be fantastic. Join our current 'Hunt' and subscribe to Pool TEAM.  See previous pool results.


The PureVideo Gamer ETF (GAMR) is the only ETF that concentrates on companies in the gaming market.  This ETF is currently trading at $30.50 per share. The fund has had a total return since inception of over 27%.

 Editor's Comment: I believe that the video game industry as a whole will continue to be generate large amounts of profits and companies will do extremely well when they report earnings in the first and second quarter of next year. I am projecting a successful Hunt. Join us on Pool TEAM!


Thank you for joining UCS Investment Co and have a great day!

Maybe, I am looking at this in the wrong way. A few points here, a few points there- nothing major; The only investors that are possibly making money are the short sellers. If you are good at short selling then this is the market for you. Lets take a look at a good short fund.

ETFs -More training and education

By Rick Walter ETF Training & presentation, education and more... There is so much out there. I went to the iShares website and found a series of educational tools, webinars, web casts , tutorials and presentations that may help a beginner and even experienced investors. I was impressed with the tutorials, but I still think that the financial buzzwords in the presentations may be a bit too complex for beginners. However, the site overall presentation and content is very good! What about taxes? By trade I am a tax professional; I believe that all investments should be analyzed first from a tax position, before an investment decision is made. ETFs are labeled as very tax efficient vehicles. Here is a good article, in my opinion, that explains the tax efficiency issue very well for ETFs. Check our external link section for links to websites that I believe provide top notch information on ETFs, including sponsors, distributors and advisers. I will be adding to the list daily. If th...
