First and foremost, I want to wish everyone reading this post a Happy New Year! I hope that you are focused and I wish you luck in all of your endeavors this year.
So now that I’ve gotten that out of the way….
So yeah, now I know that there are quite a few of us who enjoy Anime, Superheroes, and Wrestling. But have you ever wondered if there was a way to invest in the things you love?
If this thought has ever crossed your mind, then continue reading to find out how you can be a quality investor in the things that you love…
Investing Advice – Support the Products and Events associated with the Shows or Characters
So the first thing to do if you love these shows or characters is to support their products and events. I’m sure this is the way that most of us invest.
We give our time and energy to enjoying the television shows, movies, and comics.
Additionally, we’ll often buy the merchandise too!
However, one of the best ways to show support and become more involved is to attend live events such as Anime or Comics Conventions and even live shows or house shows from the various wrestling organizations.
Either way, it’s a great chance to meet some of the creators and characters that we enjoy while meeting others who share our love for them.
Investing Advice – Share the associated content on Social Media
The next best way to invest in these characters is to support them by sharing related content on social media.
By doing this you are giving the companies behind them free promotion. This gives more brand awareness to a character or entity while displaying your support for them.
Imagine if more people began sharing more Booster Gold comics and content on their social media.
By doing this for any character or entity, you create more demand for their products thus requiring the company to pay attention to what the people want.
Investing Advice – Invest in Stocks that Support Your Favorite Companies or Characters
The last and probably the most important way to support your favorite Anime, Superheroes, or Wrestlers is to invest in the stocks of companies that own them.
For instance, about 10 years ago, Disney purchased Marvel Entertainment for roughly $4 Billion so it’s now a part of Disney.
So if you want to show support or own a piece of The Mighty Thor, The Hulk, Iron Man, The Avengers or Fantastic 4 then you should probably buy Walt Disney Company Stock.
However, if you love DC Comics or Anime, then you should invest in AT&T. Believe it or not, after doing extensive research, I learned that when AT&T and Time Warner Merged, AT&T ended up taking over a lot of companies!
So if you like Batman, Superman, or even Scooby Doo and some of the classic characters from Boomerang like Yogi Bear or the Jetsons then get AT&T.
Moreover, before you start yelling at me, I know what you’re thinking “Where’s the Anime? Why would I invest in AT&T? What Anime do they provide? All I see is superheroes.”
Well believe it or not, AT&T also owns Ellation Incorporated which is the company that created Crunchyroll & VRV.
So if you truly want to support or own a piece of the anime industry, you should definitely buy AT&T.
Lastly, if you want to invest in professional wrestling, then the only 2 companies that I’ve found so far that you can get stock in would be World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Ring Of Honor Wrestling (ROH).
On the WWE side, it’s pretty easy. All you have to do is look for WWE Stock and you’re good.
But for ROH, it was a little different. As I watched the show, I learned that they kept mentioning Sinclair Broadcasting. And after a while, I realized that this was the company that provided them with their Television rights so no biggie right?
Wrong!!!
With further research, I learned that Sinclair Broadcast Group is one of the largest television broadcast companies in the United States. But the kicker is that they own ROH wrestling!
So if you want to invest or own a piece of professional wrestling, aside from buying the WWE Network or Joining Honor Club, you should buy Sinclair Broadcast Group Stock and really own a piece of the wresting industry.
All in all, I hope that I at least helped you some in regards to how to invest and become a minority owner or shareholder in some of your favorite Anime, Superhero, or Wrestling based brands!
