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!

Portfolio Update

By Rick Walter I have posted a new Biotechnology portfolio . It's total return as of November 25, 2009 is 3.4%. However, to download and use it you will have to subscribe to the portfolio, of course. On an important note, I consider each portfolio to be well diversified in its particular sector but I've recently decided to add stock futures and options positions to each portfolio which will increase each portfolio's return but lower the risks going forward.

Whose lending?

Troubled times ahead for everyone it seems. Credit markets still seems to be troubled. The Federal Reserve stands willing to provide liquidity to the markets although modestly. If I was running a pretty profitable business and I needed capital now, could I rely on my existing banking relationship to provide me the capital now? Here is an article in the WSJ on "Prior Loans, Future Pain?" Link . This article is free, no subscription needed . I guess the answer might be how much you need and the terms, but wouldn't you feel slighted if you had a banking relationship with your banker for lets say 10 years and you asked your banker to increase your credit line by about an additional 40% and they said no. In this scenario, with all things being equal, of good personal credit and business scores, pretty robust industry growth projections, and business debt to credit ratio of 1.20 or better.
