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!

Goodbye Mike

Before I get going today, lets take a moment to honor an American Idol, a Music Titan , and a Perfect Representation of the Gods of Music ; I would like to send my condolences and respect to the Jackson family for the sudden passing of Michael Jackson . I am profoundly saddened by his death. I was trying to ignore the whole event- news of his death . It seemed like some sort of bad dream at first. However, reality has set in this morning and have left me almost speechless. Goodbye Michael! You will always be missed! 6/26/2009 9:41 AM

ETF Update: Short and leveraged ETFs

The markets did well yesterday, up 379 points. Impressive breadth across the board. The Wall Street Journal has a great data center for Etfs . The ETF Gainers, Decliners and Most Actives data column is pretty good, its updated throughout the day and you do not need a subscription to get the information. Yesterday's big market day had ETF funds lit up with huge market moves especially in leveraged ETFs. ProShares funds had a huge day yesterday on the leveraged side. ProShares , if you are unfamiliar with this fund group, is one of the largest short and leveraged ETF family of funds in the world. Of course, many of their short funds were down but the leveraged funds (finally) did better. The Proshares Ultra Financials ( UYG ), 52 week % change - 92.61% and ProShares Ultra S&P 500 ( SSO ), 52 week % change -73.21% finally got a break and is up 4.23% and 2.03% respectively today. Now, I am not advocating that now is the time to buy into these two funds. I still think a wait and...
