Turkey of the week: video-games retailer set to slide

This video-games retailer has invested in physical outlets, leaving it exposed to risk from increasing popularity of online purchasing.

Shares in this video-games retailer may have jumped following the launch of new games consoles such as the Nintendo Wii, PS3 and Nintendo DS Lite, but the company has just made a serious strategic error. Paul Hill reveals why despite a strong trading statement, this stock is still worth letting go of.

Game Group (GMG), tipped as a BUY by Oriel Securities
