Only one minor difference from FFIV, BAMM, and RTHM. KIDE will do $3.00 a share earnings in 1999. Like I said Bond, you're on the right track, just early. I'll reiterate what I said before. Only an amateur would try to catch the top on this. One should wait for signs of distribution before fading this roman candle, e.g. no pop in the stock on obvious reported good news. Until then, you're swimming upstream.

Over the next few months and then years, I believe that we shall see KIDE grow into a very significant company.

KIDE is definitely not limited to Pokemon. They already own licensing rights to WCW as well as many other properties. Additionally, new properties were recently acquired (Comedy Central). I expect as new cash becomes available, we will see the acquisition of many others.

With respect to Pokemon. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING I read indicates that this is a phenomenon. Now, the profits made from North America will be amazing. But KIDE has all licensing rights (excluding Nintendo) for the entire world (except Japan). Given the history of Pokemon in Japan, as well as the recent ocurrences in North America, I would say that things have not begun to really roll yet.

Will the price fall, giving you a shorting opportunity. Maybe, but again, I believe that the probability of KIDE going up over the next couple of years, as compared to it going down, is much much higher. That's why I'm betting the way I am.
