Chinese Switch Release Leads to Nintendo Stock’s Best Day Since 2016
Nintendo Ltd/ADR (OTCMKTS:NTDOY) has enjoyed a resurgence over the past three years. Nintendo stock was in the doldrums during the era of the Wii U -- the followup to the Wii game console -- but it began to recover in 2016 with the release of Pokemon Go for smartphones and the company's announcement of the forthcoming Switch hybrid console. On Friday, Nintendo stock got its biggest single day boost since 2016 when it was announced the Switch will finally go in sale in China, the world's biggest video game market.Source: Nintendo Nintendo to Launch Switch in China On April 18, it was confirmed that Chinese gaming giant Tencent Holdings has received approval to sell the Nintendo Switch game console in China. Tencent is expected to bundle the switch with Nintendo's New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe game.This was a huge win for NTDOY and resulted in Nintendo stock closing Friday up 17%, the largest single day gain for the company since July, 2016. That's much more than the near 5% boost Nintendo stock saw when reports broke last month that it had two new Switch consoles in the pipeline.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 7 Healthy Dividend Stocks to Buy for Extra Stability Why the excitement and investor enthusiasm? The Switch launched in March 2017 and has been a hit for Nintendo, but the company has been unable to gain approval to sell it in China. And China is the world's largest market for video games. The country may be focused largely on PC gaming, but mobile is also big and getting bigger. And the portable Nintendo Switch is seen as a mobile gaming powerhouse.Because the Switch hasn't been officially available in the Chinese market, that also means there is now a deep catalog of Nintendo game titles that will available to bolster sales -- and Nintendo's earnings. The Chinese Video Game Market and Nintendo's AdvantageWhen it comes to video game revenue, China tops the U.S. as the world's largest market. It's estimated that in 2018, the industry generated $34.4 billion in China in 2018. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) became the first company to release a video game console in China in 16 years when it launched the Xbox One there in 2014. In 2015, Sony (NYSE:SNE) followed, launching the Playstation 4 in the Chinese market.Both of Nintendo's key game console competitors have had several years to establish a presence in China, but have failed to achieve significant sales numbers. That's because that huge Chinese video game market is utterly dominated by PC and mobile gaming. In 2016 -- with both the Xbox One and PS4 available -- console sales and games accounted for just 1% of China's video game revenue. Why the surge in Nintendo stock then? Besides PC gaming, China's other video game obsession is mobile. The Xbox One and PS4 are traditional game consoles, but Nintendo's Switch is a hybrid that is a fully functional mobile gaming system with a bigger display than a smartphone, superior controls, Wi-Fi connectivity and the room to store multiple games.Mobile gaming is seen as a key advantage that will help Nintendo to sell Switch units in China where the competition has failed. Even better, NTDOY's Chinese distribution partner Tencent Holdings is expected to release some of its own popular Chinese game titles on the Switch, boosting its appeal.There are still some hurdles to overcome, though. The date when the console will go on sale in China has net yet been announced. And Reuters points out that games need to undergo a separate government approval process before release, and that could delay them.Nintendo stock has taken some hits since last fall, with Switch sales beginning to slow. However, 2019 is beginning to look like it could be a big one for NTDOY investors. * 7 Tech Stocks With Too Much Risk, Not Enough Upside The two new Switch models reportedly on track for release later this year should help to re-invigorate sales during the holiday season. And cracking the Chinese video game market -- with its growing appetite for mobile gaming and a big player partner in Tencent Holdings -- has the potential to boost sales and NTDOY revenue to new levels.As of this writing, Brad Moon did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

The Growth Outlook of Tencent Music Stock Is Strong
Since its IPO, Tencent Music (NYSE: TME) stock has continued its upward trajectory. Investors' bullishness on Tencent Music stock only grew after TME reported its fourth-quarter results, which were strong. Strong Fourth-Quarter ResultsTME reported Q4 revenue of $785 million, up 50.5% from last year's Q4. TME lost $127 million in the period due to a one-time equity issuance charge of $221 million related to the company's issuance of TME stock to Warner Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment. * 7 Mid-Cap Stocks to Find the Market's Sweet Spot For the full year, TME's total revenue rose 72.9% to $2.76 billion. TME reported net cash provided by operating activities of $281 million. The company's cash and cash equivalents rose by over 300%, to $2.52 billion. The IPO of Tencent Music stock added $509 million to the company's cash total, while its operations generated $819 million of cash.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips TME's International Growth OpportunityFunds from the IPO ofTencent Music stock will support the company's global-growth ambitions. CEO Cussion Kar Shun Pang pointed to online music and social-entertainment services as the two growth areas for the company. Its investments in premium content, innovative products, and proprietary technology drove its recent growth. This year, it will build on that strategy while accelerating the promotion of its premium content.Premium content can increase the company's profit. If Tencent Music can get a higher percentage of revenue from premium content while attracting more customers, expect its earnings growth to accelerate in the quarters ahead, boosting Tencent Music stock.TME's investments in its partnerships are paying off. By joining forces with domestic and international music labels, Tencent Music broadens its appeal to its customers. Proprietary, in-house content that caters to users' demands will also boost TME's growth, further differentiating the company from its competitors and lifting Tencent Music stock. Mobile Growth ExpectationsTME reported 27 million paying users of its online services, representing growth of 39.2% year-over-year. The number of the company's paying social-entertainment users grew by 22.9% to 10.2 million. But the total monthly average users of the company's online-music products was 644 million, suggesting that it could monetize more of its users. And so far, TME has proved that it has the right balance of producing content in-house, partnering with others, and discovering other innovative ways to promote its products. Higher CostsInvestors should not ignore TME's costs. In Q4, its cost of revenue grew 62.5% as its content fees and its revenue-sharing fees rose. The more content it produces in-house, the higher its costs will be. Fortunately, Tencent's high-quality original content should attract more users and subscriber revenue over the long-term.TME's operating expenses grew 58.1% to $197 million. It also spent more on sales and marketing, as it increased its efforts on branding, its products, and its content. The company's general and administrative spending increased after the company incurred higher employee and personnel costs. If TME can keep its staff turnover low, then the initiative should benefit the company over the long-term. The Valuation of Tencent Music StockThe eight analysts who cover TME stock believe the stock is trading at fair value, according to Tipranks. With analysts' price targets on Tencent Music stock ranging from $15 - $21, TME stock could fall if investors decide to buy its competitors' stocks instead.Among its competitors are Sony (NYSE: SNE) and Spotify Technology SA (NYSE: SPOT). Tencent Music, like many young companies, is growing quickly, and it should be profitable over the long-term. Investors will need to weigh the current $29 billion market capitalization of Tencent Music stock against its prospects.The number of shares of Tencent Music stock being sold short is also up, increasing from 19.4 million shares in January to 30.4 million shares on March 14, 2019. The Bottom Line on Tencent Music StockTencent Music stock's growth outlook is are very good. Investors should add TME stock to their watch lists.As of this writing, the author did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

A brief history of mirrorless cameras
Mirrorless cameras are here to stay. Today, the likes of the Sony A7 III, Nikon Z7, Canon EOS R and Panasonic S1R are some of the best cameras, period. In the early days, mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras suffered from a lack of native lenses, but that's changed drastically over the past few years.

The cameras YouTubers love
It's easy to forget that for some of the world's biggest YouTube creators, their rise to internet stardom all started with making videos on a webcam. That's exactly how people like Marques Brownlee (aka MKBHD) and Justine Ezarik (aka iJustine), who now have more than 8 and 5 million subscribers, respectively, began their careers as YouTubers almost a decade ago. But for both of them, gone are the days of using a webcam to create video content. As technologies such as full-frame mirrorless cameras, 4K and 8K have emerged, so too has Brownlee's and Ezarik's desire to up their production value -- especially since their channels focus on consumer electronics. In 2019, videos from Ezarik and Brownlee can rival quality from TV shows and films, thanks to their investment in cameras like Sony's A7III and RED's 8K-ready DSMC2 Brain. The latter is a $60,000 system, which shows just how serious Brownlee is about the videos he makes. And Ezarik and Brownlee aren't the only ones trying to push the envelope for YouTube creators. Jacques Slade, whose channel about sneakers and tech has more than 1 million subscribers, works with a camera setup that consists of three Sony A7 IIIs. Popular YouTuber Casey Neistat, meanwhile, switches among a Canon 6D Mark II DSLR and Sony's A7R II and A7S II full-frame mirrorless shooters. It's clear there isn't a one-camera-fits-all solution for YouTube creators; they each have their own preference based on the brands they like, their audience and what they're shooting on any given day. For example, when Brownlee isn't using his RED 8K camera because he needs a smaller and lighter shooter, he'll jump to the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II. That's a long way from the webcam he started with on YouTube in 2009. To learn more about Brownlee's and others' choices, we spoke to some of the world's biggest YouTubers, who talked about the cameras they started with, what they're using now and what they recommend for newcomer creators.
