AMPD Ventures (AMPD.C) begins trading on the CSE today – here’s why it matters for internet users
The year is 2029. A rogue and non-copyright protected artificial intelligence system has gained sentience and launches an Oedipal war against humanity, its creators. Our best hopes for survival lie in the child-prodigy gamers of yester-year, trained for maximum lethality in combat, vehicle operations and strategy thanks to high-performance computing servers which cuts latency to…

E-Sports ETFs are terrible and not really about e-sports, but what is?
Zynga (ZNGA.Q), the mobile video game developer, is a terrible investment. The sort of large company that only stays large because it’s large to begin with, thereby attracting dumb investment from institutional folks who buy the things they see mentioned on CNBC, Zynga made US$280 million in revenues last quarter, dropping a net loss of…

E-sports in a nutshell: Enthusiast Gaming (EGLX.V)’s Overwatch League team makes finals, but where’s the dough?
If you bought into Enthusiast Gaming (EGLX.V) because they have a connection to the Vancouver Titans Overwatch League team, congratulations on their winning season, where they came runner-up in the finals against the San Francisco Shock. The Titans came into the final with a 25-3 record, which isn’t horrible, but wasn’t enough to take it…

AMPD Technologies, Enthusiast Gaming (EGLX.V), Riot Games, Louis Vuitton and the dawn of e-sports investing
For many people of my vintage, the concept of being entertained by watching other people play video games is confounding. But make no mistake, competitive e-sports is a thing.

E-sports is starting to run, but let’s use some common sense here
Over the last few days, as cannabis took another face plant into the toilet bowl, a ton of money has been looking for somewhere else to go. That should have been great news for the resource sector, though they haven’t yet figured out how to get cannabis investors interested in what they do. And it…

Rift Valley Resources (RVR.C): Rural internet through TV signals? Hmm..
Sometimes bringing on a new client in my line of work can be a tricky business. Because we stand behind our much ballyhooed commitment to present you unbiased coverage on the companies we write about, whether they pay for our attention or not, we sometimes have to deal with the experience of firms that aren’t…

Here’s what’s next: e-Sports is happening right now, and hell’s coming with it
I’m about to land at the next Cambridge House extraordinary Future investor conference this week, with more speaking events than I honestly know what to do with. Part of the reason why they’re being tacked on is because we here at Equity.Guru have spent the last year telling you virtual reality/augmented reality is coming to…

Stop saying ‘this is a good time to buy’.. it’s not. It’s a crash. Back away from the keyboard.
Jesus crap on a pogo stick, you people never learn. So last week, right when we said it would, the weed market began to prolapse. And on social media all I heard was, “This is a great time to buy on dips.” Early this week, it kept rolling downhill, and on social media all I…

‘The Force is not about lifting rocks. It’s a tension, order, balance.’ I know someone who has seen the new Star Wars movie eighteen times will correct the quote above, but when I saw it, that’s how I remembered Luke Skywalker’s words. I noted them specifically because, frankly, they explain why blockchain is going to…
