Have a look at the chart before we provide the new information.SourceCEO UpdateWe encourage shareholders of the company to follow the CEO, Christian Bishop, via his Facebook profile as he uses this channel very much and the share price sometimes reacts to information delivered there.

NY Times articleThe NY Times just recently discussed the video game business. We selected the most important information in the article. The most astonishing number provided is included in the following paragraph:
"Having already upended the entertainment world — global revenue for games is $20 billion higher than the music industry’s and is chasing that of the movie business — the games industry has turned its ambitions toward the lucrative world of professional video game competition, widely known as e-sports."

Yes, "$20 billion higher than the music industry" means that the company is being undervalued by the market. If the market potential is so big, then it is not stupid to compare the business valuation of the companies being bought out in the music and movie industry with American Leisure Holdings, Inc. We will use, for example, one of the market leaders in the industry, Warner Music Group. The company was sold to Access Industries in 2011 for $3.3 billion in cash. This is a very old company operating in a mature market. Thus, we believe that if the recently born E-Sports industry matures in the same way, the market capitalization of companies should be similar. The market cap of AMLH is less than $1 million.ConclusionThe market reacted to the new information released by the company delivering more than 100% profits to investors that bought after reading our initial piece on AMLH. The most relevant information was the annual report released as well as new announcements made by the CEO on his Facebook and Twitter account. Additionally, we highlighted that the company reduced the financial risk shareholders had in 2016. We expect that as traders get to know the company better, interest in the company may increase. Finally, we made some calculations using the numbers that were delivered by the New York Times. In our opinion, if the information delivered by the newspaper is true, the AMLH bull run is just getting started. We will be updating our subscribers as soon as we know more.
