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!

What to Buy- Foreign vs Domestic funds?

Calm before the storm. At least that's what I've been reading. It seems that there is still not much buying. Much of the buying seems to be just shifting funds from one account to the next. It's called "churning" in broker turns. So, I wanted to see if anyone was buying, you know, new money. I clicked on over the Investment Company Institute website to see if they could shed some light on this matter. Based on their recent reports, "Estimated inflows to long-term mutual funds were $ 12.48 billion for the week ended Wednesday, June 10, 2009 ", versus $ 13.646 billion for the week of June 3. At least it wasn't negative. There is buying. As a matter of fact, buying has almost doubled compared to inflow numbers reported in May. I also noticed that Equity Foreign Funds had a larger percentage increase than other categories while Taxable Bond Funds had a noticeable percentage decrease in inflows as compared to the previous periods. Interesting. Are in...

The Old Reality is Still the New Reality

The Old Reality is Still the New Reality  Dodd Frank Illustration   I sat at my desk last week wondering what went wrong. Was I experiencing some type of trading depression? I checked my models, macro numbers, company profits, software, pricing etc. Some of my option contracts were either worthless or were on their way to being worthless.   The pricing of the contracts were not in-line with the actual underlying price of the securities that I was trading. The options' pricing per contract were either priced 40% or more above what the underlying security was worth or priced 40% or more below what the securities were worth. This old reality was still the new reality even after all of financial fixes implemented to fix these same problems that contributed to the financial meltdown in 2007-2008.   The new Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and ConsumerProtection Act which was supposed to clean up many of the abuses in the financial system such as accountabi...
