I can give you my first impressions of the stocks touted in this article. They are crap compared to GLUU, with the possible exception of ATVI (Activision), and here is why.

Following the link in the article... "More ResourceFull Video Game Giants"?? is the tout for these 3...

https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/02/12/3-top-mobile-gaming-stocks-to-buy-now.aspx

I can discuss each one objectively.

ATVI is expensive, with a PE approaching 55 and a price of $71. That is way too much money for a diversified retail investor, especially in tis risky game. I admit that Activision is solid and could likely use their pricing to put considerable pressure on GLU. They are more "resourceful" in that sense. The dividend is puny.

I don't buy stocks like this. You either buy a stock for capital appreciation or the dividend, or for both in a perfect world. I can't see this having much appreciation with the PE the way it is. And the dividend is puny, so what would be the point?

CYOU has choppy decreasing earnings, a fairly high PE at 15, and it is Chinese... whoa right there. Chinese companies are reputed to be scams... that is just what leaps out at me. Puny dividend as well. Not recommended by analysts as well.

TCEHY has on information in my trading platform, off to a bad start right there. puny dividend... chart looks smooth but maxed out.

GLUU is domesticly owned and on my trading platform has positive earnings increasing going forward... highly regarded by analysts... at an affordable price point. For someone to write an article like this is not seeing the big picture.

I bought in 2014 and have since made a 50% return on my investment (unrealized).
