You Don't Have To Be A Genius To See The Value In This Potentially Marvelous Opportunity
Dec. 6, 2018 11:26 AM ET

Summary
GNUS undiscovered low float microcap that could be ready to break out after not one but two recent hits.
One of my most successful investments was building a position in Marvel Enterprises when they first came out of bankruptcy and I see a similar setup with GNUS.

I anticipate 2019 to be a transformational year leading to significant revenue gains and stocks price appreciation regardless of what the NASDAQ or SPY do for the year.
GNUS has a couple of properties to reveal that could provide even more value in the near future.

Every year I put out a speculative stock to watch for the members over at Alpha Wolf Trading and sometimes more than one. They have included names like EKSO, RMBL, TUSK, HEAR, all of which provided us with some pretty nice returns and a couple of them are still in play. I have decided on this years pick to share with everyone and it is GNUS.
Genius Brands is a global media company that develops, produces, markets, licenses and distributes children's entertainment properties.

What makes them different and compelling from the rest is their mission to deliver "content with a purpose". They have had a few relatively mild successes with titles like award-winning toddler brand Baby Genius; adventure comedy children's series Thomas Edison's Secret Lab, and Warren Buffett's Secret Millionaires Club, created with and starring iconic investor Warren Buffett. However, none of these properties have hit blockbuster status and for that reason they have not made any money. This could all be about to change as they have not one but two properties that could be on the cusp of providing significant revenues and royalties.

Before I go into the details on GNUS I wanted to share with you my experience in Marvel Enterprises. I grew up on Marvel comic books and I loved them. When I saw that Marvel had just come out of bankruptcy many years ago and there were rumors of a Spiderman movie and I started buying the stock at a buck. I built my position over a period of time buying more at 3 and 5 and 10. All the while Marvel kept producing one box office hit after another.
The famous Jim Cramer would get calls on Marvel for his lightning round and he would consistently hit the sell, sell, sell, button with it being his contention that Marvel was going to run out of blockbuster characters to do films with.

Just after that they came out with Iron Man one of their lesser known characters and they smashed the estimates with a huge hit. I knew I was onto a winner early with Marvel when the first Spiderman movie came out and I walked into a Walmart and all I could see down the cereal isle was Spidermans face.. there were lunchboxes and clothes, toys and all this Spiderman stuff everywhere throughout Walmart and it hit me. Marvel was going to be raking in a ton of what I like to call "mailbox money"! They just sat back and let the royalty checks come rolling in, then took them out of the mail box and cashed them in. It was a pretty sweet business model. It was such a good model that Disney wound up buying them for 55 dollars a share. Jim Cramer thought it was a brilliant move by Disney. What was funny to me was that he didn't like the stock when it was 3 5 or 15 but loved it when Disney bought it for 55.

I am not suggesting that GNUS will have the same type of success as Marvel but what I can say is they have two compelling properties Llama Llama on Netflix which was just picked up for its second season and Rainbow Rangers which just launched on Nick Jr. in November.

Andy Heyward the CEO of GNUS has been creating cartoon hits for most of his life and is an Emmy ward winning creator of children's entertainment. He has been involved in and created some huge hits over the years with titles like "Scooby Doo, Flintstones, Jetsons, Smurfs, Yogi Bear 1982, he co-created Inspector Gadget and during the following years he has produced over 5,000 episodes of award-winning children’s programs, most of which shows and brands are household names, including Inspector Gadget, The Real Ghostbusters, Alvin and the Chipmunks, G.I. Joe, Hello Kitty, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears, Captain Planet, Teddy Ruxpin, Sailor Moon, Madeline, Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego, Liberty's Kids"

That is a pretty astounding resume of some significant hits that I am sure everyone recognizes.

Fast Forward June 2020 and Kartoon Channel is just about to go Live
