Hello reader,
I have always been a bit of a noob when it comes to investing in the stock market – mostly watching from the sidelines, hesitant to jump in. But lately, with the Indian markets taking a dip, I can’t help but see an opportunity.
It reminds me of the saying, “Be greedy when others are fearful.” Maybe this is my moment to finally step in, pick up some good stocks at a discount, and see where the ride takes me.
Gaming company GCL (GCL, NDAQ) – which recently listed on the Nasdaq – might likewise be exploring where the journey leads.
The Singapore-based company’s debut has been anything but smooth. Despite listing on February 14, it got no love from investors. Its shares tumbled 70% on the first day of trading.
Despite the rough start, CEO Sebastian Toke remains convinced that going public in the US is the right move.
In this week’s big story, my colleague Glenn explores why GCL’s long-term success depends not only on its ability to distribute games but also on whether it can develop its own hits.
