Say, Ig and Sam, if anything less than a cure for cancer or Alzheimer's or dementia or spinal cord injuries or even something less than a 16 for 1 return in 48 hours is of interest to you, let me recommend something to you.

If there is a strong relationship between a sweeping craze (think hoola hoop) coupled with scarcity (think Tickle Me Elmo) and a factory that is producing them as fast as they can and a stock that 37% below its high, making deals with Nintendo and such, than this is a BIG winner.

There is this virtual pet thing, selling for between 15 and 25 dollars that is about the size and shape of an egg. It was (is) a big craze in Japan. There is a screen on it the size of a postage stamp and a little creature is depicted. The kids (target, I suppose, are 9 year girls...like the one I have) nurture them and take care of them. There is a clock in there and the damn thing buzzes and you have to feed it (you select from a choice of foods) or you may have to clean up after it, or play with it (more choices) and/or give it medicine or on and on... it gets better or worse depending on your level of care... the technology is amazing as the concept is original. You simply can't get enough of them here.

The things are called Tomagotchis and the company is Bandai (BNDCY) They have a thread on SI. I had a hard time finding out who made them after I began to find out the story on how popular they are. This should be the big XMAS gift this year. The stock is just starting to move. I got some at 5 and a fraction this week. My only real concern is whether the buying frenzy actually translates to a higher stock price. I mean, the investing public have to connect the two.

You can access their website and related stories on the first page of the BNDCY thread on SI. You will see a couple of my posts, but I just found out about it. Let me know what you think .... I bot AVII based on your recommendation.

I also found some more people VERY interested in NEOT as far away as Texas. He thinks there is a big brokerage firm that likes it very much. I got some more this week ... but got screwed on the execution again. I think one third/two thirds is about the right proportion of stock to warrants in NEOT. Agree?
