Around the Wii in 800 Words

I have two daughters, ages 4 and 7. What Wii games are good for them?

I would highly recommend the High School Musical and Hannah Montana games from Disney (DIS Quote). These names are extremely hot with girls and I'm sure your daughters would have a good time. Alternately, they might have a lot of fun playing Konami's (KNM Quote) Dance Dance Revolution, which will have the added benefit of giving them some serious exercise.

Do you think your views on video-game stocks are jaundiced by what you prefer gaming-wise?
-- Mark

When researching video-game stocks, I place some emphasis on my firsthand experiences with playing games, but only in the context of forming an opinion on their commercial viability. For example, I was extremely impressed with the multiplayer demo of Call of Duty 4, which will be a top seller this holiday season.

But that was only one small factor in my bullish outlook for the game. I also did a great deal of snooping around on message boards, speaking to gamers, and talking with salespeople in game stores, which added up to very strong prospects for the title.

I'd like to thank everyone who sent me a question, and I'll be happy to address any future inquiries on the gaming industry. Feel free to drop me a line.
