Roblox: A Metaverse Play

Writer's picture: T. LivingstonT. Livingston

Online gaming platform Roblox made headlines today as it gapped up over 35% on earnings. Strong revenue growth despite a period of outage in late October was the catalyst for the amazing move. In addition, average daily active users is up over 20% compared to last year at this time. As online video games and the metaverse become a major theme, I believe some companies are positioned to profit drastically from this shift. For instance, NVDA, another stock I own, is likely to see fantastic revenue growth from an increasing demand for high-powered computers. META (Facebook) will enjoy a head start since it already has a very large userbase. While MSFT, and SE are also likely to benefit, I believe Roblox has the potential to be a true leader in this space. Remember, it already has millions of users gaming on its' platform who are interested in this type of online experience. I owned RBLX earlier this year but was stopped out without making a profit. I started a small pilot position pre-market today as I noticed that RBLX was set to gap up on large volume. I later added to my position as Roblox continued to rise. I have a stop loss in place below the low of the day to mitigate my risk.

It can be scary to buy a huge gap up like this, but it is important to put it into context. First, RBLX is extended on the daily chart, but it looks to be just emerging from a double bottom IPO base on the weekly chart. In addition, large moves like we are seeing in RBLX that occur on insane volume are not caused by your "Aunt Suzy" or "Cousin Mike" buying. It is large funds coming in to purchase the stock because they are bullish on the company's future. I too am bullish on Roblox's prospects for the coming months. Let's hope I'm right.


Risk right. Sit tight.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
