roblox was good example. using converting dollars to row robucks. they're creating new worlds and experiences. those are advertising opportunities, gaming media opportunities and social networking opportunities are popping up in there. charles: so, sill -- sylvia, you have an etf based on things that will mostly happen in the future. there are a couple i want to dig down in. quantum. quantum computing. umbrella, i've had it for a few years now, it is on fire. talk about it, this space, what else is there? people hear quantum, to me it sounds sexy and exciting but where are the applications? >> yeah. and that is a great point, you have a great stock pick with embrella, up 60% year-to-date, ambarella. there is another interesting company, in our etf, one of the type five holdings, synaptics, that stock is up 85% year-to-date. quantum up 22% year-to-date. why are these up. to your question, what is it? it is semiconductor companies. it's digital interfaces that allow people to interface with technology. to commu

some of the companies that we saw in your report, like roblox and minecraft, are big.ng this kind of balancing act. on the one hand, you've got the kind of embarrassment and the harm from that platforms being misused on the other, the kind of cost and difficulty in enforcing it. and they're all going to kind of arrive at some kind of weird point of least pain in the middle there where they kind of balance the kind of like the costs on the one side and the kind of public risks on the other. and i think currently right now it'sjust less visible that this kind of stuff is happening on the gaming platforms. they've just had less embarrassment and less public exposure around it. karl, thanks very much for covering this story for us, and that's it for the short cut of click for this week. the full length version is, of course, waiting for you right now on iplayer. as ever, you can keep up with a team on social media, find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter @bbcclick. thanks for watching, bye—bye. hello, again. though many view it has been a fine start to the week

tencent down almost 8% roblox down 6% on concern over what this could mean for the $150 billion globalh is saying the biggest u.s. developers, that's activision, ea, the maker of the madden franchise, and take2, the maker of grand theft auto, they have limited exposure to china michael pacter says investors should buy the dip on the u.s. stocks that he forecasts will see double-digit revenue growth for at least the next decade as people game later into life and get more diz posable income. >> 40-year-olds play game, 6-year-olds play games the demographic is playing longer and longer. interestingly as they age, they have more disposable income. >> and here in the u.s., the average age of a gamer is 35 to 44 years old that's the range web bush says streaming games is the next big thing and those mega cap tech companies, talking amazon, google, they're all working on projects in that area melissa, back to you >> 35 to 44. i did not know that. that actually shocks me, frank thank you. guy, i feel like you have a comment about this in addition to an answer to the question >> well, i mean, l

the funny thought of this trial was the back and forth trying to decide what a game was or whether roblox was a game or a metaverse. this order is a sweeping win for apple. epic won where it mattered the third-party payment options. what's a game in the game industry can they do commerce inside the game there are still questions on the apple platform on the google front, what is different, is that google runs a platform with contracts with third parties. they use their leverage inside of that industry against handset makers and carriers. that is a little different saying we make those play by our rules. you might find in that case is the judge not only rules anti-steering and they have been acting like eama monopoly and hw that might be managed in the future >> what it sounds like, you are saying what i was trying to say. you have better authority. saying if this is bad for apple, it is probably bad for google too. it might be even worse given everything else they are up against. >> simple thing is, how does apple retain control over the phone and ios? you just maintain. it is nonsensical

also bumble, roblox and zynga. zynga up 7%. alphabet moving lower and, in fact, seems to be news the app store could be the next target modest decline 1.5%. let's turn to the silver stocks having a good day. first solar and sun run. for sun run the firm setting a buy rating of 60% upside and run is up 3.5% this stock is down about 30% so far this year. they're saying the industry can keep growing at a fast pace due to easy adoption for solar and the rest of the space, the analyst is here welcome. >> thank you for having me >> why is sunrun struggling so much this year >> next year an advantage from people who install on solar. we think they will not expire:i think there was some disappointment in the minds of investors what they were expecting from the administration did not come sooner or was not as high as people expected it to be >> so this is, again, just to everybody who is following, the tax credits that have been a key source of spurring solar panel investment the biden administration released some sort of clean energy f

browsing, everything and with kids, it starts in third or fourth grade with microsoft's mine craft or robloxor instagram or cell phones and google chrome books and never stops and they use this data to predict and manipulate our behavior. so on instagram, they do it with filters that make everyone else look beautiful and to catch up, we have to buy stuff. that's the business model. that's how they make money. it is not an accident any more than scams against seniors, scams against vets, anti vax or the preparation of the insurrection were an accident. >> so second point, so they know the suseptibility of kids and market it anyway because it's profitable, which means they know what is goining out and wh is being said because we've had the phenomenon where we're talking about different type of tuna tackle and then we get ads. if they know that, why is it too much for them to ask to take their technology and look for things that are misinformation and disinformation and become a more responsibility purveyor of content? >> so chris, the actual solution to this problem has nothing to do with the

bumble up 6% and match group up nearly 7% we're also seeing the impact on other game companies roblox, those shares up about 4% and then zinga shares up over 9% we are awaiting comment from some of these companies. match and spotify, among others, have come out in support of epic's case. so, we'll see if they agree with sweeney or not >> stick around for more reaction john, we're seeing shares of match continue to move to the upside what more do you expect as people let this sink in? do you think that apple investors are going to shrug it off as a little bit status quo, or are they going to start to have to think about what a deal this could be? >> i think apple investors should in a way shrug this off because the core of apple's business model, where it gets its revenues and profits and what keeps the engine going is not affected directly by this. we're going to get that stuff next week when apple, we expect, unveils the next version of the iphone, apple watch, et cetera apple is really about the vertical integration between that hardware, software and services that keeps people loya

and i think i know my granddaughter loves problocks, at least -- roblox, at least she used to, but iout crypto. you say it's going to play an important role, but apparently ethereum more than bitcoin? explain that. >> well, so in the metaverse especially i think what you're referring to is that these apps, a lot of apps and games not just built on unity, you can then build stuff on top of the ethereum protocol anyway. bitcoin i've owned since 2013, i still own it. ethereum, i've owned for several years, continue to own it, and both of them, i think, are core holdings. i wouldn't go crazy right now because like a lot of things, you know, crypto feels like a bubble. there's 12,000 bubbles out there -- 12,000 cryptos out there, and 10,000 are probably headed to zero. charles: so should that happen naturally, i've got 20 seconds, or should the government make it happen? >> it's going to happen naturally, but the government if it's going the bother having an sec and regulations, you need to enforce the law, and they're not doing that. crack down on some of these fraudulent cryptos yesterd

>> roblox.il winds are going to be here for a while, to stay, and they can make more money through this ruling i like it even more. >> all right and the trb, the reform broker, josh brown >> matterport currently breaking out of a six-month high as i'm talking. this week they announced a big deal with kushman in wakefield japan and they've got a price target left at piper sandler i like everything happening here >> i remember yesterday it was jon najarian i think during the program bought calls of matterport we talked about it right ahead of some momentum we're watching the stock jump a little bit more as we're talking about it that's an interesting one. we'll follow it. thank you everybody. have a good weekend. we'll see you on the other side. "the exchange" is now. >>> thank you very much, scott hi, everybody. i'm kelly evans. here's what's ahead this hour. with another hot inflation rating, one thing is certain is that the debate over inflation is not proving transitory. the hawks move to cost

so if everybody did pile into roblox and they did all build all their worlds in roblox, then roblox would phone in your bag but still have a way to capture little moments hands—free as and when they arise. and i quite like that as a concept. so taking it at face value, i tried them out over the weekend. i met up with some friends, i went to a concert, i took loads of footage. and then when i came to download it to my phone, the glasses had corrupted, and all the footage was lost. so you're not getting any of that. instead, here's my last—minute backup option of meeting a friend for coffee in the park. the specs record these square videos and nothing is automatically posted to facebook or livestreamed. instead, you download the clips at the end of the day and you can post them wherever you like. facebook says one use case is if you have children, and i can see that being useful because you can put your phone away but still capture some nice moments. i took this video of a dog taking a swim and i think the footage looks pretty good. here's the same moment captured on my smartphone. i think

so if everybody did pile into roblox and they did all build although worlds in roblox, then roblox would has been working on augmented reality glasses that can project images into your eyes, and these glasses do none of that. these are basicallyjust a pair of glasses with cameras on them. they are actually very similar to the snapchat spectacles that were released in 2016, although every time i mentioned that to facebook they insisted this is a very different product. to use them, you press the button to take a video, press the button to take a video, press and hold to take a photograph, and you can also use voice commands like hey facebook, take a video. there are also built—in speakers so you can use them to listen to music or make phone calls, although when i tried that on the noisy high street, they were nowhere near loud enough to be remotely useful. so i'm going to be remotely useful. so i'm going to focus on the cameras. now, the idea behind these is that you can leave your phone in your bag still have a way to capture little moments hands—free as and when they arise, and i quite
