Trying to find entry points for some toy related stocks. TOY "begins to stir in August and September as investors look optimistically toward the upcoming Christmas season", (William Thomason of Parnassus Investments, Barron's Online, 8/12/98). TOYS still too expensive imo. But I added a small amount to my small position in Consolidated Stores (K-B Toys)today. Here're some interesting numbers - well, interesting to me anyway: TOYS: market cap = $4.0 Billion-- 70,000 employees CNS: market cap = $1.7 Billion-- 19,000 employees ETYS: market cap = $4.0 Billion-- 306 employees (source: Yahoo) Man, those 306 employees (and E-Toys business model) must be worth their weight in gold. (Uh, actually if we assume the average weight of 306 employees is $150 lbs each -- that's 734,400 oz @ $265 per oz or only $194 Million. -- I must have too much time on my hands tonight -gg--) Paul
