A World-Famous "Hero" for Your Portfolio

By Christian Hill

Video games were once the domain of children and "computer geeks." But the industry has undergone a major transformation in the last 10 years and is now an integral part of the entertainment genre. Some video game players actually earn well over six figures by competing in tournaments.

One company is capitalizing on this trend, and should be a part of your portfolio. Activision Blizzard (ATVI) is a third-party developer of video games. This means it develops games for all game platforms, including Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox, and Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS.

The company has the current best-selling video game franchise, Guitar Hero, as well as other popular franchises, including Call of Duty, James Bond, and the online goliath known as World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft comes from a recent merger with Vivendi Games, completed in July. This merger will allow Activision to challenge Electronics Arts as the #1 third-party developer of video games.

With the current economic downturn, you might expect demand for video games to diminish. But I don't think it will. Dollar for dollar, video games offer more than many other entertainment options, including movies. Games can be played over and over again, and the experience is different every time. Also, the demand for consoles - the machines the games are played on - shows no sign of slowing. In fact, demand for the Nintendo Wii is still outstripping supply.

All of this leads me to believe that there is still plenty of growth ahead for Activision. And with the holiday season right around the corner, sales should be even stronger.

Add Activision to your portfolio and get excited about video games. Maybe even pick up a copy of Guitar Hero and see what the fuss is about.

A BIG CAPITAL-EFFICIENCY WINNER

Today's chart provides a great example of one of our favorite investment concepts – capital efficiency.

Since 2007, Porter Stansberry has written dozens of essays on why you should focus on "capital efficient" businesses. In short, capital-efficient businesses are capable of greatly increasing their earnings without spending much additional capital.

Some of his favorite examples are household names like Hershey, McDonald's, and Anheuser–Busch InBev. One you may be less familiar with, however, is video-game publisher Activision Blizzard (ATVI)...

Activision Blizzard is the world's largest interactive gaming company. It publishes popular video-game franchises such as Guitar Hero, Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Diablo. And according to Porter, the company has "extraordinary capital efficiency." That's why he recommended it in his Investment Advisory back in October 2011.

As you can see below, Porter's recommendation has worked out well. His readers are up as much as 98%... and just yesterday shares reached a new all-time high. It's the latest proof of what we've been telling you for years: Investing in capital-efficient businesses is one of the greatest secrets to making money in the stock market.

THIS CAPITAL-EFFICIENT BUSINESS IS SOARING

Today's chart shows one of our favorite investment concepts at work: owning capital-efficient businesses.

Regular readers are familiar with the concept of capital efficiency. In short, these businesses are capable of greatly increasing their earnings without spending much additional capital.

They have long-standing products, strong customer loyalty, can gradually raise prices when they need to, and consistently return loads of money to shareholders.

Today, we're highlighting a capital-efficient juggernaut that has skyrocketed in recent years: Activision Blizzard (ATVI).

Activision Blizzard is the world's largest interactive-gaming company. It publishes popular video-game franchises such as Guitar Hero, Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Diablo.

And the company has been on a tear this year... As you can see below, shares are up nearly 45% since February and it just touched a new all-time high. It's more proof that investing in capital-efficient businesses is one of the safest ways to make money in the stock market.

THE POWER OF A LONG-LASTING CRAZE

Today, we'll highlight a reliable investing strategy at work...

In the past, we've looked at the benefits of investing in physically addictive products like soda, coffee, and alcohol. But what about psychologically addictive products? People crave hot items like Apple iPhones or Nike Air Jordan shoes. More important, they come back for the newest versions – often waiting in line for hours, or even days. Today, we're seeing this with video games...

Activision Blizzard (ATVI) makes some of the world's most popular game series – like Call of Duty, Skylanders, and Destiny.

It also produces well-known titles like Candy Crush, World of Warcraft, King's Quest, and Overwatch. Players are hooked. Currently, they're plugging in to these games for more than 50 minutes per day...

And recently, some of the company's subsidiaries hit third-quarter records for online monthly active users. Sales for the same quarter reached a record $1.6 billion.

As you can see below, ATVI is in a massive uptrend. Shares soared around 80% over the past year... And they recently hit multiyear highs. It's more proof that investing in addictive products works...

SELLING 'ADDICTIVE' PRODUCTS IN A $100 BILLION MARKET

Today, we revisit one of our favorite investment strategies at work...

As DailyWealth readers know, we often highlight the power of selling physically addictive products like sugar and caffeine. But psychologically addictive products can be just as lucrative.

From Apple's iPhones to Nike's Air Jordans, the hype can reach its own level of cultural obsession. And this is especially true in the $100 billion global market for video games...

Activision Blizzard (ATVI) is behind popular video-game series like Call of Duty, Overwatch, and World of Warcraft. Each has millions of active players.

In 2015, the company also bought Candy Crush... a mobile game that's more than five years old and still brings in more than $1 million per day.

With that kind of customer loyalty, it's no wonder Activision Blizzard recently hit a record $2 billion in first-quarter revenue.

As you can see below, the company's shares have been trending higher. Over the past three years, the stock has climbed roughly 215%, recently hitting a new 52-week high.

Just like with coffee and junk food, consumers will keep shelling out cash for the games they love...

THIS 'ADDICTIVE' VIDEO-GAME MAKER IS BEATING EXPECTATIONS

Today's chart highlights a company that sells products customers can't put down...

Longtime readers know the profit potential of companies that keep customers coming back for more. From beer to sugary donuts, folks can't get enough of habit-forming products. But this idea applies to psychological cravings, too. Today's company sells games that people play day in and day out...

Activision Blizzard (ATVI) is a $45 billion video-game maker. It owns popular titles like Candy Crush and World of Warcraft. Between all its franchises, the company has more than 300 million monthly active users.

And it keeps releasing exciting titles that customers crave – like the latest Call of Duty game, a reboot of its acclaimed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare trilogy. With this staying power on its side, Activision Blizzard released better-than-expected quarterly earnings recently, beating both revenue and earnings-per-share forecasts.

As you can see, ATVI shares are marching higher. They're up 26% in the past year. And as Activision Blizzard keeps rolling out hit games, that trend should continue...

Davy Day Trader is pushing ATVI at this moment on his live channel.

His influence is not non-existant as I see the stock has moved up in the minutes after his "pump": from 86.1 to 86.5 right now.

It will release results soon (after market or pre market tomorrow)
and he aims for 'in app purchases' to surprise
