Bought 100 shares of Activision Blizzard at $36.05 a month back, or so ... 4th quarter earnings hit today. Let's just say, happy bear. First stock I've ever bought (because they acquired MLG and I truly believe eGaming is the next UFC) - everyone, buy Activision. Great long. It's gonna explode

Are you talking about the Extend beans that dudes are shooting their neighbors over? I don't grow beans. Plus it's not the beans that are the problem it is the jackasses killing their neighbors non-extend beans with Dicamba.
You probably aren't talking about extend beans but it still amazes me that herbicide volitalization is worth murder. You just need to take care of business. Keep the critters alive and gaining. Cow calf guys don't get taken to the cleaners like feeder guys are prone to do. You just need to not lose money. That's what kills you. Oh and SE tax. Prepare thy anus. Which if your practice is a sole proprietorship you will know all about. |

about a year ago I was working with a guy who is probably the 3rd or 4th best Halo player in the world ...
started following him on Twitch, he actually won the X-Games Gold Medal (LOL) in Halo. I realized how big kids were (10-18) in watching other people play video games. They were getting MASSIVE crowds - selling out stadiums - shit, I was watching on Twitch and it was THRILLING - like watching football, or basketball ... Pro Gamers. No joke. I wanted to figure out how to invest in e-gaming (and it's still in it's infancy) ... well Activision acquired MLG (major league gaming) which is mostly known for Call of Duty tournaments (which are huge) for like $50M early last year and they plan on launching a network and they think it'll grow into a HUGE industry. The best I can liken it to is I think it'll be the next UFC. I think it'll be huge. On top of that, they acquired King Digital (Candy Crush) for $6B and Activision is the exclusive e-gaming rights with Facebook ... add that into the fact America is spoiled and now every game has expansion packs and in game buying for all the 12 year old idiots to spend from their mom's credit cards ... instead of games being a flat $50 like they were a decade ago ... you buy Overwatch for $60 and then spend another $500 on map packs, expansion shit, etc ... it's never end spend. Investing in video games is the way to go. Activision and EA are awesome longs. But yeah, I truly think, within 5 years, e-gaming explodes. Most 25 and under aren't investing and have no market influence ... so e-gaming, and I could be wrong because I'm a n00b, I feel ... is flying WAY under the radar. They acquired MLG for $40M ... if it's worth $5B in a few years? That seems like a good ROI, no? But yeah, any time I have a few extra bucks I'm buying more and more and more ATVI Stock. I truly think it's a great investment. |

Huh. I had no idea. I certainly wouldn't plow all of your money in there, Hootie.

I'd like to get in 100 shares as well... When would be a good time to get in you think? My kids love watching those twitchers. If they're hooked, I'm sure everyone else is. |

It should settle back down. I like it too-lots of potential and pays a small dividend. Not buying at the all time high though. |

It's at $46 at open today ... Was at $36 January 1st ish ... I think it steadily keeps climbing for years. I think the e gaming division is grossly underestimated and there is so much revenue to be made by smart phone game revenue and game add ons after purchase and Activision owns all of their content. Hard to get to in depth on my phone but Activision blizzard with king is just a monster company in today's climate. Kids don't go outside anymore. It'll climb to $47ish today, I bet, and then bounce between 44-48 over the rest of the quarter then we'll see. I think it's a fantastic long though

I'd draw a trendline under the lows and if it settles back down there, pull the trigger.

3 longs - EA, Amazon and ATVI. Amazon is expensive as **** but there is no way that doesn't crack 1500 within a few years. Take everything I say with a grain of salt, though. I'm a market n00b. Just invest in companies I believe in and I have such a low opinion on today's kid I say buy all the video game stock you can afford
