Partners with Meta in Ghana. The company announced that it has partnered with Meta (Facebook) to be its ad agency in the country of Ghana. While this is not a large country, with a potential market opportunity of $10 million, it does set the table for future relationships with Meta in other parts of the world.
Accelerated purchase of Cisneros become clear. Entravision recently accelerated the purchase of Cisneros for a total of $44 million of the remaining 49% interest that it did not own. This would free the company to expand its relationship with Meta to other parts of the globe, outside of its current Latin American market. The recent expansion in Ghana is an example of that.

Travelers Gonna Travel!– Travel & Leisure Sector May Ignore the Recession
Economic activity in the U.S. contracted during the first half of the year. At the same time, inflation is running at 40-year highs. Investors looking to keep their money productive with reduced risk have focused on consumer staples and companies providing necessary services where demand isn’t impacted much by price. This is what experienced investors do when the economy falters. But this economy seems a bit different than previous periods of shrinking economic activity and rising prices. Jobs are still plentiful, and one industry, with a lot of pent-up demand leftover from the pandemic, is gearing up to exceed all expectations. That sector is leisure. We take a look below at the potential strength in the industry, where opportunities may be found, and how you could reduce timing risk with stocks on your shopping list.
Current State
More than half of Americans see leisure travel as a budget priority right now; in fact, 62% of Americans took at least one overnight trip between mid-May and mid-August. This is according to the latest The State of the American Traveler report compiled by Destination Analysis. Consumers continue to prioritize experiences over alternatives in their budget. As the U.S. Moves out of Fall and into the colder months, it appears the trend will continue. Chuck Artillio is co-owner of SinglesSki.com, winter-oriented travel, and leisure company. He told Channelchek, “Last year at this time, business was robust, yet bookings, as we stand now for the coming season, are already up over 100%.” Artillio added, “I’ve never seen anything like this before.”
The Destination Analysis survey also expects industrywide strength in demand for travel and leisure services in the last quarter of the year. The results show Fall and early Winter trip expectations are high. Over a quarter of Americans expect to take a trip in either October (26.6%), November (24.8%) or December (28.4%). This is up from June when 20% said they expected to take a trip in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The survey indicates that typical holiday travel includes visiting friends & family as the top driver for late year. However, second on the list of purposes for travel is the desire to return to a destination, followed by general atmosphere, and food & cuisine.
Source: US Global Investors
The survey produced hard data that showed Americans continue to prioritize having fun and relaxation when traveling. This, of course, can mean different things to different people. The majority said being in a quiet/peaceful location (82.5%) followed by beach time (69.7%), chilling-out poolside (67.3%), enjoying culinary experiences (65.6%), and luxury hotel experiences (60.4%).
Do Expectations Provide Opportunities?
An industry research report published this week titled, Entertainment & Leisure Industry Report: Ideas For Your Investing Shopping List, contains some ideas for interested investors. The authors of the leisure industry report include Michael Kupinski, Director of Research at Noble Capital Markets. Overall, Kupinski and Noble’s research associates find the current state of the economy as one that provides a “discount rack” of stocks that can weather a further downturn and may be the first to rise as the recovery seems imminent. He provides information and careful analysis on some stocks that he believes have favorable attributes, go here for in-depth details of these companies.
The analysts suggest investors develop a shopping list and concede that recognizing a turning point in market direction is the “hard part.” But they have suggestions for that as well. These include nibbling at the targets on your list to scale in over a period of time. This averaging in to stocks on your shopping list will lower the risk of picking one day to pile in, which may turn out to be bad timing.
Take Away
Down markets bring opportunity. They always have, and there is no reason to believe this time will be different. Finding sectors with promise, as the travel and leisure sector is now showing, then diving into research to select those in the sector with the most promise, followed by a decision to average in to the market, is one recognized way to put yourself in a position to benefit from the current “discount rack” that many stocks now seem to be on.
Elon Musk’s Hair-Brained Ideas are Very Marketable
If your last name was Musk and one of your companies created a perfume, what would you name it? Perhaps Eau de Elon, or S3XY, an outlandish guess would be Neurastink, or simply Elon’s Musk. Here’s a hint, Musk’s perfume is a product of The Boring Company, the company that builds tunnels to enable rapid point-to-point transportation. Before this fragrance thrower, the company’s only other product was a flame thrower. So naturally, the company decided to call their new perfume, Burnt Hair. And it has already sold $1,000,000 worth.
Image: The Boring Company
A bottle of what his company referred to as ‘the essence of repugnant desire,’ will set you back about Ð1,666 or $100 USD. That’s if you buy it online. There is now an Ebay aftermarket where resellers are looking to fetch up to Ð16,666 for the product that was only released this week – 10,000 bottles of Burnt Hair have already been sold as of Wednesday morning.
“Just like leaning over a candle at the dinner table, but without all the hard work” – Boring Company Website
Image: The Boring Company
When he’s not tunneling, launching rockets, reinventing things on four wheels, neuralinking, or tweeting, Musk does keep busy with other strokes of brilliance. Did you know that in 2020 Tesla (TSLA) launched its own brand of tequila? That year Tesla, the world’s most valuable automaker, also offered limited edition satin short-shorts.
Image Credit: Tesla
It isn’t clear what the inspiration was for this new product entry; developing a perfume that has earned revenue of $1,000,000 within a couple of days of launch is quite a feat, although certainly easier than colonizing Mars, and buying a microblogging social media company. Two things on Musk’s To-Do list that he seems to have fallen behind on.
The Boring Company product page doesn’t say whether the fragrance is a limited edition item – just in time for Halloween or a long-term offering from The Boring Company. Something more exciting than a company that usually just sells holes in the ground.

THE CONTEMPORARY ARTIST AND LEADING MOTORSPORTS VIDEO GAME PUBLISHER COLLABORATE WITH LIVE FAST MOTORSPORTS FOR UPCOMING NASCAR CUP SERIES AND CHARITY EVENTS
MIAMI, Sept. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) (“Motorsport Games”), a leading racing game developer, publisher and esports ecosystem provider of official motorsport racing series throughout the world, announces today its partnership with contemporary artist Frankie Zombie. The partnership, done in collaboration with Live Fast Motorsports, will see a series of charity activations and a custom-made, stock-car paint scheme for the No. 78 Ford Mustang.
The Frankie Zombie-designed custom paint scheme will be showcased and driven by BJ McLeod during the NASCAR Cup Series Dixie Vodka 400 on October 23rd at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Prior to watching McLeod race in the custom wrapping, fans will be able to download the paint scheme as part of the NASCAR 21: Ignition Victory Edition, 2022 Throwback Pack DLC, Season Pass 2 and Season Pass Complete for Xbox, PlayStation and PC through the Steam store. Players that purchase NASCAR 21: Ignition Victory Edition, Season Pass 2 or Season Pass Complete will have access to the custom-designed scheme on October 6, weeks before the car hits the track in real life.
In addition to designing the custom wrap for the NASCAR Cup Series race, Zombie will be appearing at a series of in-person, live painting events during the weekends of the Bank of America ROVAL 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway (October 8th and 9th) and the aforementioned Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway (October 22nd and 23rd). At the events, two additional car hoods with custom-designed wrappings done by Zombie will be raffled off for charity, with the proceeds going to Speedway Children’s Charity and the NASCAR Foundation, a leading charity that works to improve the lives of children who need it most in the NASCAR communities, through the Speediatrics Children’s Fund and the Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award.
“We’re excited to kick off our partnership with Frankie Zombie, as it will push our philanthropic efforts forward, pay respect to the art community and provide a new way for our community to interact with the sport,” said Jay Pennell, Brand Manager, NASCAR atMotorsport Games. “It is an ongoing priority for Motorsport Games to take new approaches in expanding our audience offerings and events and we feel Frankie is the perfect person to help bridge fans together through crossover appeal. Frankie is a one-of-a-kind artist, and we hope this upcoming initiative will not only welcome a new community into the Motorsport Games ecosystem, but give our pre-existing fans even more unique and creative elements to our in-person activations and game offerings.”
“Converting a NASCAR stock car into a piece of art is not something you would typically see nor expect, and as a lifelong fan of racing, I cannot wait to see the design putting in 400 laps of racing,” said Frankie Zombie. “I’m excited to partner with Motorsport Games and Live Fast Motorsports to bring these paint schemes to life for fans and help them gain a new appreciation for art and vice versa. I encourage everyone to come to the live painting events to be a part of some great initiatives for charity.”

FANS WILL BE ABLE TO COMPETE ON NASCAR RIVALS TO WIN PRIZES AND A CHANCE TO GO TO THE NASCAR CUP SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP
MIAMI, Sept. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) (“Motorsport Games”), a leading racing game developer, publisher and esports ecosystem provider of official motorsport racing series throughout the world, announces today a set of five upcoming at track activations during the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs.
The race weekends that Motorsport Games will be present at are as follows:
Phoenix Raceway – NASCAR Cup Series Championship (Sunday, Nov. 6, 2022)
“Motorsport Games has always prided itself on its lively, interactive and exciting activations at tracks during the NASCAR Cup Series season and this new set of five events are the biggest ones yet,” said Jay Pennell, Brand Manager, NASCAR, Motorsport Games. “Fans can not only visit our activation booth to have a great time playing our titles, but also compete for incredible prizes should they choose to. We cannot wait to see who can put in the fastest laps and who will come out on top during the NASCAR Rivals Championship Race.”
The five at-track activations serve to provide the community with a unique way to interact with Motorsport Games’ products, while also showcasing the improvements and development work being done to its library of games.
At each race, fans will be able to play NASCAR 21: Ignition – 2022 Expansion on both PC and console. Additionally, the upcoming NASCAR Rivals title will be present to play, with six Nintendo Switches on hand.
There will also be an added competition to the activations, as one of the Nintendo Switch consoles will be dedicated to the NASCAR Rivals Head-to-Head Competition. Each competition will take place on the same track as the activation (e.g. Talladega Superspeedway during the YellaWood 500) and gameplay will be set to the most difficult settings for the entire competition (i.e., hot lap, Split Screen, and Race Now). Hot lap competitions will take place the first day(s) of each activation event, with the fastest single lap recorded. The top eight drivers will be put into a bracket to face off head-to-head using NASCAR Rivals Split Screen Mode and ranked according to the lap times. Races will be shown on a TV located next to the Motorsport Games activation truck, with Dylan ‘Mamba’ Smith scheduled to serve as commentator and emcee.
The prize breakdown will be as follows:
The winner from each qualifier event (Talladega through Martinsville) will receive a BJ McLeod signed helmet, a Nintendo Switch console, a copy of NASCAR Rivals, a meet and greet with McLeod and Matt Tifft, plus flights, accommodations and VIP passes for two for the Phoenix Championship Weekend.
The Second-Place finisher from each qualifier event (Talladega through Martinsville) will receive a Nintendo Switch console, a copy of NASCAR Rivals, a meet and greet with McLeod and Tifft and a signed McLeod hero card.
After the qualifier weekends, the competition will shift to the Phoenix Raceway for the NASCAR Cup Series Championship. During that weekend, hot lap competitions will take place on the first day(s) of the activation, similar to the other four events. However, instead of head-to-head races, the top four fastest drivers will advance to the NASCAR Rivals Championship Race.
Eight total drivers will compete in a 4% race at Phoenix Raceway (22 laps) and gameplay will remain on the most difficult setting. As with the qualifier events, Dylan ‘Mamba’ Smith is scheduled to serve as commentator and emcee. The championship winner will receive two VIP passes to the 2023 Daytona 500, a $10,000 cash prize, a custom diecast trophy of the No. 78 NASCAR Rivals Ford driven by McLeod and an advanced copy of the NASCAR 23 console game (when available).
In addition to the competitions taking place during the activations, Motorsport Games will also have driver Q+A’s with Live Fast Motorsports and up-and-coming racer Gavan Boschele (Charlotte only).
