It is a pleasure to introduce you to my new video show, Game Trader. The show will focus on educating our viewers on the somewhat complicated landscape of investing in the games industry. I have managed my own portfolio for almost 10 years. I am a Certified Public Accountant in the state of Texas and I have 5 years of experience as an investment advisor representative.
Game Trader will focus on two core aspects of my investment philosophy: Fundamental and Technical analysis. Fundamental Analysis looks at the financial statements of a company to see how they are performing from a cash flow, revenue, expense, and earnings perpective. Technical Analysis, also known as charting, looks at the price movement of a company to see if there are any clues as to its future direction. In a world where 90% of trading is done by computerized algorithmic trading, I believe it is extremely important to be mindful of a stock's chart when making an investment or trading decision.
This show will focus on educating our viewers and will feature a question and answer session driven by comments on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and of course our Chatty forum.
This week, I take a look at Nintendo's stock (NTDOY) ahead of the launch of Super Mario Run. Nintendo's stock has had a wild ride in the last year, with Pokemon Go's success pushing shares to levels not seen since 2011. After churning around in a period of consolidation, is it still a good time to buy shares of Nintendo? Please take a look to find out!

Hey Shackers, this is the pilot episode of this new show on our channel. There are a few kinks to work out in the production, and I appreciate any feedback to help improve the quality of the content.
-
49 minutes will take a bit, I'll take a look though!
-
Yeah, it is definitely long. I had a lot of information to get out and I went long with the chatty Q&A.
-
Good info but I'd recommend breaking it up into sections instead of one long take. Look into some lighting and mic solutions. One still shot for 50 minutes isn't the best use of YouTube as a platform so don't expect much organic traffic outside of what your front page article refers.
I've been long on Nintendo since 2009, having averaged my per share cost with buys last year down to the low 20s. Even if your extreme bull scenario happens I'm probably going to continue to hold long. Japanese companies cannot be hostile takeover and their IP value alone + 8b cash on hand is worth far more than the current $36b valuation.

the content is great, good insights, i agree with your analysis (not that that matters but it's nice), but maybe the format could be tweaked? couple ideas:
one is segment it and toss in some graphics or whatever, set up and explain what you're going to talk about (anyone new to investing doesn't know what bull/bear, technical/fundamental, etc. are). give it more of a traditional production.
or keep it more informal like this where you're basically chatting through the analysis. obviously you do your research ahead of time, but when you record you're sort of 'discovering' your opinion as you walk through it. for example when you were doing the technical analysis you picked out a bunch of high/low points and then said what caused them, instead of just stating it you could say "oh that's interesting, what happened there", then go to google and look up the news. that kind of thing. or maybe show the quarterly/annual reports, and highlight some things that jump out at you (as well as how to find these reports). keep it casual/more of a youtube style.
both could work, i'd lean to the latter vs something really produced.

if you're going to buy some nintendo, keep an eye out on the yen. even with negative rates, the yen kept strengthening, affecting all earnings of japanese companies.

NTDOY is the US listed stock. its an ADR, a stock created by a third party bank that represents foreign stocks that can't clear in the US. its basically a script that says you're entitled to x amount of the actual stock, where x is the exchange ratio the bank has set.
for NTDOY, the ratio is 8 shares of NTDOY to 1 share of 7974 JP (its japan listing), so keep that in mind when you see the japanese price being way higher than the US price. also, NTDOF is the direct US ticker for 7974 JP, but stock can only settle in japan, so you need a japanese bank and stock account to trade it.
NTDOY and NTDOF are both consider OTC securities, so there might be a bit of a risk due to liquidity, but there should've be too much of a price discrepancy as the underlying (japanese stock) is very liquid and market makers are limited on how far they can deviate from the underlying stock's price.

That was really cool and I really liked it and appreciated it, you put a lot of work into it. You can tell its totally your bag, so that is cool to see too.
Watched the whole video it was quality, if you ever do get into video game publishing I think you be really good at it. Cool info overall. Your Netflix virtual console like service idea is golden they should totally do that like tomorrow.
Just some thoughts on Nintendo that brewed up from your video(got my juices flowing). I feel Nintendo will never go away as well, they are sort of like Blizzard people will always buy there stuff no matter what(their brand power is massive). As for Super Mario Run I think the game is going to be MASSIVE and sell more than Pokémon Go but will keep its demand and they will make sequels, and 100% be pure fire and money aka the next big thing for mobile(the stock is going to go crazy after launch). As for the Switch, I think it will hit it out of the park unless the hardware power sucks then it will be short term and niche hand held crew. Regardless people will buy the Switch but if Nintendo actually put effort into the hardware power this time it really could be massive. The hardware power is really the only factor to worry about the rest seems golden. To me the Switch seem like it will be guaranteed that it will sell way more than the Wii U(regardless of hardware power) and I would even go as far to say it is going to = Wii sales(my forecast). That be me my call on all of those things. [ puts time capsule in the ground ]
Keep this video spot(my vote), I like it a lot and I would watch more of them for sure, feels like a natural fit for Shack's content and brings something new and cool to the site.
Thanks for the video. -

As someone who has always been interested in trading and has a very basic understanding of how the market works this was great!
