Kevin - Very nice analysis, with a couple of concepts that I hadn't seen articulated so clearly. You're absolutely right that a year ago, few people outside the industry knew or cared about KIDE, and now I agree that they're going to be in much demand and have opportunities to get involved with other potentially hot licenses. Al Kahn has put himself back on the map in a big way, but of course he still has to guess right again next time. BTW Matt, I agree, the options premiums are a little nutty right now. If this thread is a microcosm of the overall universe of potential call buyers, it makes some sense, but it's clear that a lot of naive small investors who've been waiting for calls to be available are overpaying. The premiums should calm down a bit over the next several weeks. -Eric

CEO was on CNBC "breakfast with the CEO" this AM and it was a very positive segment. Things that I have seen rumored before but not in print were.... 1. A series of 4 cards, one to be given away with each movie ticket sale. Only available with movie ticket purchase. 2. BurgerKing 57 Toys in 57 days promotion along with Movie release, which carries Pokemon right into 2nd week of December. 3. When asked if Pokemon movie could be bigger than StarWars, he said it could be even with the half price kids tickets. If I have missed these in print before could you please provide the url's here. I have heard rumors on boards but nothing firm. MT
