Q: Hi 5i,
I know very little about the video game and e-sports industry in general so I would like to get your thoughts on it.

As a possible entry into this area Activision Blizzard has been mentioned a couple of times over the last few days on BNN. Would this be one of the better stocks to invest in in this sector?

I have also heard mention of EA and TTWO but once again I know very little about this sector and these stocks so I would like to get your opinion. Are they worth considering?

Thanks. Love your service!
Brian

Q: I made an investment in Blackstone some time ago as a source of fairly high and reasonably secure income. It also offered me diversification into private equity and additional investment in the US.
It's now had a significant move up and I'm inclined to "stay the course" for the reasons given. While I understand that you don't concentrate on US investments I would still appreciate your current opinion on this one.

Q: Recently I have sold my position in QCOM and now my equity portfolio has only about a 5% exposure to Technology. The main holding being XLK.
From your growth portfolio, I was considering a small position in PHO. The stock seems to be in decline. Is now a good entry point or should I wait for things to settle?
What Tech stocks or ETFs would you suggest?

Q: I am interested in the cyclicality of this sector, not necessarily seasonal issues, and curious as to the reasons for the pullback in these and I gather other US issues. Can you comment please and provide the names of four or five other major gaming companies. Is there an ETF which represents the sector? Thank you

Q: I've been to the AmazonGo cashierless store in Seattle and it is very cool. (This is the cashierless variety store where you just put stuff in your bag and walk out). It is the future. I saw yesterday that someone was mentioning or leaking that they plan 3000 stores in the near future. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-19/amazon-is-said-to-plan-up-to-3-000-cashierless-stores-by-2021 .
There are several companies working on this cashierless technology including Microsoft for Walmart.
Should ATD.B be worried about this? Or I am thinking that Cashierless technology will be an adopted technology by all and will simply be a monthly software bill to the retail business.
I own Amazon and bought more after returning from visiting the AmazonGo.
Any thoughts?
