For those interested, Toymax's (TMAX:NASDQ) latest news release anticipates signing a non-exclusive licensing agreement with Nintendo to produce a line of Pokemon(TM) candy, through their subsidiary Candy Planet. I would guess they would try to catch the Halloween rush, so perhaps this will happen sooner rather than later.

So Matt, it sounds like Mankey is a "balloon pokemon" like Jigglypuff. I'll check with my experts at home tonight. Hey, these are important details <ggg>. Just for fun, I went back to the old KIDE thread and reread some posts from last November and December. A few of us were dead-on in our analysis and there was something of a consensus that KIDE would be at least a $30 stock. (I didn't see any predictions back then of $105, split adjusted, so far <g>.) I hope the other early investors did a better job of holding onto all their stock than I did. My own macro prediction was best summed up by this from an early December post: "When Furby Fever is a distant memory, Pokemon will be up there in the Pantheon of Great Toy Success Stories with the Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers. (Beanie Babies are in a category of their own.) And plush Pikachus will make lots of kids throw their old ratty Barneys in the back of the closet." I guess I was a little too conservative. OFF TOPIC, may be considered hype by some: Anyone looking for the next "big idea" stock, with a tiny float like KIDE had a year ago and a huge verifiable short position, please take a look at GUMM, but do it quickly. Another day of buying like today and it might finally break wide open, and I foresee a KIDE-like rise over the next 4-6 months.
