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...

Investment Word of the Day: Price-To-Sales-Ratio

Valuing a company is one of the toughest things to do Wall Street. Many investors look at a company's Price-to-Sales ratio to help them determine the value of a company. The price-to-sales ratio (Price/Sales or P/S) provides a simple approach: take the company's market capitalization (the number of shares multiplied by the share price) and divide it by the company's total sales over the past 12 months. The lower the ratio, the more attractive the investment . Price-to-sales provides a useful measure for sizing up stocks. For example, The Price-to-Sales ratio of  Alphabet ($Google) is 6.76 , whereas the Price-to-Sales ratio of GoPro Inc Class A ($GPRO) is 1.56 . Which stock is a better buy?

Invest Like a T-Rex in China's AlphaShares China's Technology Index

Invest Like a T-Rex in China's AlphaShares China's Technology Index The Dow Jones Industrial Average ( DJIA ) and the Standard and Poor's 500 ( S&P500 ) are doing really well. Both market indices are trading at historic highs. And the question you should ask yourself right now is, should you still be investing in the U.S. equity markets or should you be taking money off the table? Should you a take a contrarian view and sell short, since everyone else seems to be still buying or should you just look elsewhere? I say look elsewhere. The above decision also depends on whether you expect continued growth in the U.S. economy, albeit slow growth. Of course, there are other economies that are doing well also, such as the Chinese economy. I believe that the Chinese economy, although saddled with some serious structural issues, can provide a great place to receive spectacular returns on investment. Without getting into all the macro and mic...
