  • From Hero to Zero, Can This Stock Reclaim its Mojo?

    By Harsh Chauhan - May 6, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, GLUU

    It’s been close to three months since I initiated an outperform CAPS call on Glu Mobile (NASDAQ: GLUU), and an appreciation of close to 19% since then is what makes me satisfied. At that time, shares were trading at massively beaten down levels after Glu had lost its wheels. However, it looked like an opportunity and it’s safe to say that it indeed was.

    But, shares of Glu more »

    When Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) first came out, it came out with many strong game titles, including Farmville, Cityville, Mafia Wars, and Words with Friends.

Zynga included 100 million shares at $10 per share, bringing its valuation to $1 billion. Zynga had a great pop on its IPO, but over more »

    By Terry Chrisomalis - April 8, 2013 | Tickers: FB, GLUU, ZNGA

    I would have to say that when Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) first came out, it came out of the gates strong with many game titles. Some of these game titles included: Farmville, Cityville, Mafia Wars, and Word with Friends.

  • True Confessions of High Tech Hijinks

    By AnnaLisa Kraft - March 22, 2013 | Tickers: EA, GLUU, ZNGA

    So in true confession style Michelle Tea wrote about her temping experience at a Frisco social gaming company that anyone who knows anything about gaming stocks knows is Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA). I hope I haven't outed her with this revelation but the clue (the company is named after the founder's dog) is thinly veiled...c'mon, get real.

    My favorite part was her friends' reaction to the gig more »

  • How To Play Online Gambling

    By Callum Turcan - March 19, 2013 | Tickers: FB, GLUU, ZNGA

    New Jersey's Atlantic City is well known for its casino's and gambling, but now that concept has been taken online. On Feb. 26 New Jersey Governor Chris Christie legalized online gambling, as long as it is affiliated with in-state casinos. Nevada and Delaware have also signed similar legislation into law. This is what boosted both Zynga's (NASDAQ: ZNGA) and Glu Mobile's (NASDAQ: GLUU) stock prices in more »

  • This Mobile Gaming Play is Not Over yet

    By Harsh Chauhan - February 15, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, AAPL, GLUU

    Once a blue-eyed boy of the mobile gaming industry and investors alike, Glu Mobile (NASDAQ: GLUU) has seen a sharp downturn in its fortunes over the past six months.

  • Any Hope Left for Investors in Mobile and Social Gaming?

    By Mark Holder - February 6, 2013 | Tickers: EA, GLUU, ZNGA

    While the public markets provide limited focused investment options in the hot mobile and social gaming sector, the stocks of Glu Mobile (NASDAQ: GLUU) and Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) continue to struggle as the firms have lacked the ability to produce consistent game winners especially on mobile. Currently small, private companies have produced most of the huge mobile gaming franchises such as Angry Birds, Minecraft, and Temple Run.

  • Make Some Money From That Gaming Habit!

    By Ash Anderson - December 21, 2012 | Tickers: ATVI, EA, GLUU, ZNGA

    Growing up I loved to play video games. The love of the companies that made the games and knowing that I could essentially own them through the stock market is what got me into investing. I have since sold out of my very first position in Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI) but I’ll always wonder if there is money to be made in the gaming market.

  • 1 Contrarian Idea From 7 Stocks Trading Under $7

    By Chris Lau - December 12, 2012 | Tickers: GLUU, GRPN

    Companies trading with a low share price tend to gyrate when there is more volatility. Even though the market capitalization and P/E should matter more, the psychology for “cheap” looking stocks could be prone to big moves. The net activity for these companies on the market may be measured by multiplying the number of shares traded in a day by the share price. Looking only by volume of shares more »

  • As Phony As a Two Dollar Stock

    By AnnaLisa Kraft - November 14, 2012 | Tickers: GLUU, GRPN, ZNGA

    How the mighty have fallen! Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN), Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA), and Glu Mobile (NASDAQ: GLUU) are all two dollar and change stocks. The worst percentage loser is Groupon, down nearly 90% from its IPO price on November 4, 2011. Don't be tempted to buy into these for a dead cat bounce. There used to be an expression "as phony as a two dollar bill," and these are just more »

  • Is Activision Blizzard’s Stock Price Ready for a Breakout?

    By Harsh Chauhan - November 8, 2012 | Tickers: ATVI, GLUU, MSFT

    Video game maker Activision Blizzard’s (NASDAQ: ATVI) third-quarter results didn’t spring any surprise. The company, as always, handsomely beat estimates, and raised its full-year outlook. But, uncharacteristically, the stock gained an “amazing” 2.34% in extended trading after the report. And, for a change, the company didn’t lowball its guidance this time and said that it expects a better fourth-quarter, driven by Call of Duty: Black Ops more »

  • An Enticing Stock at Beaten Down Levels

    By Harsh Chauhan - November 3, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, GLUU, ZNGA

    Last night, I was playing one of my favorite games called Blood & Glory: Legend on my smartphone. I usually end up slaying the bad guy without breaking any sweat, but last night was different. I was simply unable to defeat one of the monsters that came my way, despite trying hard for quite some time. It seems that the maker of that game, Glu Mobile ) is also finding it difficult more »

  • Why Not Follow The Smart Money Into These Stocks?

    By Brian Gorban - October 24, 2012 | Tickers: ATVI, GLUU, ODP, WMT

    Every investor is always searching for stocks that outperform the general market and alternative investment classes. Of course, during these unstable times that is rather difficult, making people uncertain as to what is an effective strategy or criteria to use. One strategy that has proven to be effective over time in determining whether a stock is moving higher is insider accumulation, due to one simple reason: insiders buy shares, just more »

    By Harsh Chauhan - October 13, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, GLUU, ZNGA

    I always knew that Mr. Market might sometimes act in an irrational manner. What I didn’t know was that the market can also act irrationally out of pure ignorance. Shares of mobile games maker Glu Mobile (NASDAQ: GLUU) have lost almost 28% of their value this month and I simply fail to understand why.

    By Harsh Chauhan - September 21, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, CRUS, GLUU

    It’s been a few days since Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) launched its latest and greatest iPhone. While the army of Apple-haters (read as Android-lovers) has been working overtime in bashing the device for its shortcomings and muted innovation, more than two million pre-orders in a single day suggest that people buy iPhones as if they are collecting stamps. What’s more, analysts expect Apple to sell around 10 million iPhone more »
