. . . . . . .Some thoughts on Play Co Toys. . . . . . . . Joe and everyone. . . . PlayCo has a history of demonstrating their care about NOT coming across as a hype company with all fluff and no substance. They have shown this by releasing news and other important info along with their quarterly reports. Short-sellers hunt for fluffy PR, because of what it reveals or implies about the management. I would like to see news come out too, but I would far prefer that the news was full of meat that could instantly be translated into an increase in shareholder value. I would also love a reiteration of the preferred conversion rate. There are some things that could be done without coming across as being trivial. . But I believe the management has become gunshy MOSTLY due to the number of internet traders that coorespond with them. They are probably afraid of "these people" being daytraders that just want to scalp some quick gains from the stock price. . . . This is NOT an uncommon ocurrance. . . some companies have been hurt by internet traders calling their clients every 15 minutes to make certain that they have a deal. To say the "we won't spike and profit your price, we're position traders" is like saying my dog won't bite, he hasn't bitten anyone in a long time." So I really haven't got a clue anymore about when PLCO will or won't release news or what that news might contain. We know that they have their big E-commerce site, with a probable big-time portal deal. . .not just a link, but a deal. . .and we know they have new stores to announce, but they don't always announce their new stores. . . and of course we know they will release earnings and same store sales reports that have been very impressive of late. Otherwise. . . Patience will reward you . . . greed will destroy you. Rande Is
