G&J, I agree that GRIN might move up considerably from here due to Pokemon sales. However, GRIN and KIDE are not benefitting from Pokemon in the same way. GRIN has purchased the rights to manufacture and distribute a limited line of Pokemon items including school supplies, kites, balls. They purchased those rights from KIDE. KIDE, on the other hand, owns the exclusive distribution rights for all Pokemon items distributed outside of Japan. I still think they're both great companies. And GRIN appears to me to have less of the Pokemon effect valued into its stock than does KIDE.

Quick note regarding GRIN. Listen to the vcall interview with Al Kahn. The last few minutes contained some interesting questions and one of them regards grin. I would caution anyone who holds that stock or is thinking of buying it to listen to Kahn's response. Some of these companies are claiming contracts in effect prior to official signature. I do not know the specifics regrding GRIN, but it was mentioned and it would behoove anyone thinking about that stock to listen to the vcall and then to call KIDE to get that straight.
