I just got off the phone with Mike Porter from ALFN. There are such enormous things brewing with the company that we will see over the next few weeks and months that we are clearly in our infancy with this company. My patience will pay off in a big way over the next few weeks and months as ALFN becomes a giant in the toy industry.

What has captured my imagination is Mike Porter's keen understanding of marketing to the various kid age groups. Here's what we have going for us in ALFN:
1. Corporate Web Site going live next week- probably Monday to feature their full line of toys.
2. E-Commerce Interactive Web Site which will be much bigger than we expect. We will find out more about that probably later in the week.
3. Some sort of big Retail Chain deal (Mike was very tight lipped on this one).
4. A new third generation voice technology group of toys which will make the Furbies look like a joke. Mike Porter is a marketing genius and these should take the toy industry by storm.
This is especially when you consider that Mattel bought The Learning Company (software company). As technology and the toy industry converge - expect ALFN to lead the way.
5. Collectibles in the $1-$2 dollar range should do at least as well as Bean Babies have done. Remember that Bean Babies took 3 years to catch on. Our internet Site will shorten this time period to weeks or months.

I have always found Mike Porter to be sincere, honest and direct without crossing the fine line of insider info. He can't give it and I don't want it.

Best to the longs.......Norms :)
