Amazon and toys and Pokemon. A somewhat undiscovered fad is growing and it's Pokemon. (of course if you have children you probably have discovered it) Forbes yesterday estimated Pokemon related sales could reach 6 billion by next year. Amazon is and will be selling this stuff. I am fairly confident in guessing that Pokemon sales could have a visible impact on AMZN's bottom line. Pokemon is big now and it is going to get a lot bigger. A purer play of Pokemon is KIDE. The yahoo message board actually has some great info. on the company who is Nintendos exclusive licensing agent for Pokemon. (for everywhere except Asia) I know the word fad takes some of the excitment away, but this is going to be the mother of all fads. Recently 20000 kids packed into mall of America and waited hours to play Pokemon. There will be a movie in Nov. I think now it is still timely to play KIDE even with nearly a 70% rise over the last week. Sorry for the spamish message but I think it is well worth it to look into the Pokemon phenomenon and KIDE.
