This happened back in February. Basically what you are seeing is the grandson is moving their holdings to their family run management company as a way to protect stock value over what will be a rough times ahead for Sega. Sega boasts a PE ratio (price to earnings) of around 75 (avg) across markets. What that means is the price of the stock is overvalued compared to their earnings. This is not good. Low PE = Good. High PE = Bad. So in anticipation of rough times ahead, they are ensuring certain shares will not be sold, which would continue to drive the stock price down for current shareholders.

A.Soldier, who explained himself a bit harshly did have a point. He is young. He is also third generation. There is an old adage in business, First and Second generations succeed, and third generation of family businesses usually fails. When you have a young CEO like say Zuckerberg, investors will have more faith in him as the creator of a product than a young guy who got the job because of a family relation. Typically, young men do not make good CEOs of MASSIVE companies like Sega(450 Billion market cap) because they simply lack experience. Sega is losing money hand over fist. Stock prices are overvalued across markets and Sega's market cap will drop. Investors will see blood in the water and Sega will have to continue to restructure before they can right the ship.

This seems like phase one. I think I saw they weren't planning on firing or shutting projects down but that is usually the next step.

*Addition: I forgot to mention voting rights. Basically the largest shareholders have the most voting power on company decisions. When a company goes public, they are giving control of the company to the 'investors' or executive board. Moving their shares into their private holding company made it the largest holder of total votes. Helping to ensure the business stays in the family.

**What this means for Relic: *If* Relic is profitable, which I ASSUME in COH2's case, it is - Then they probably wouldn't have much to worry about. If anything would change, my guess is it would be some personnel consolidation type things but they would continue to operate and develop. Sega isn't traded in US markets so there really isn't much data to look at (that I could find) other than very vague financials from Sega so its difficult to give a more accurate assessment. I don't really keep up on Relic personnel changes but its possible this already has occurred/occurring since the initial report in Feb 2018.

I'd be weary of Cryptocurrencies. Yes, there are opportunities but if you don't understand trading and markets you can lose a lot of money. A lot of these currencies are luxury currencies as they are not crucial in anyway to ensure economies survive and thrive. If global markets crash/correct, cryptos will be the first to burn. 'John Smith' is more likely to hold onto his physical gold coins than his intangible internet coins.


There are a few coins that can be valuable and OP listed one in Etherum, but its only a matter of time before many of these coins start to die out. There are so many coins you can't even keep track, ultimately diluting stronger coins like BTC or ETH.


Regulation, its only a matter of time before governments start clamping down regulations. People are making money and governments want in. As regulations are rolled out you can expect crytpo values to fall.


Majority of these coins have no historical data, this makes it very difficult to predict market conditions.


If you are looking for these homerun trades you may as well trade options, they offer medium risk/high reward. Another alternative would be to invest in companies that are well known and proven. Always pick an industry you know something about.

EX: I am not investing in cancer pharmaceuticals because I understand very little when it comes to chemical compounds and their effect on the body. Everyone here is well aware of computer hardware (the companies to buy and not-buy) and I even see a few complaints about it being difficult to purchase Nvidia cards because of cyrpto. Supply and demand is a huge driving factor in markets. As seen here in the 2yr NVDA chart.

There are many factors that move markets and my only advice would be don't invest what you aren't willing to lose. Investing is educated gambling.

They failed at that though because they didnt even ask the customer what they wanted LOL



So they should have abandoned CoH2 as well?

I don't think you're comparing apples to apples. Just looking at some simple data, COH2 has 3.7 million copies sold as of 2015 and was released in 2013. DoW has 500k sold and came out in 2017. Just a guess without seeing any financials but I would think COH2 has been somewhat successful, especially against DoW3.
