There are many ways to play this stock, and different approaches can work at different times. There is plenty of room for both of us to be successful regarding KIDE. The fact that you have weighed in here now with some strongly negative posts suggests you have already laid on a short position. I think you may have been somewhat early. Although at some point the Pokemon bubble will burst, I do not believe Wall Street has caught up to Main Street on this one yet. In particular, I think the movie and upcoming holiday season offer me more upside from here. I think Pokemon has considerable "staying power". I could be wrong. Good luck to you.

Sure, every bubble bursts eventually, and the KIDE short squeeze may be over before long, so if you keep posting you'll eventually be able to claim that you called the drop. But that won't make you our idol. Anyone who wasn't long this stock (or, even better, bought the 30 or 35 calls as some of us did) has missed an awful lot of upside due to an inability or unwillingness to think along with the masses. I've always found it much more lucrative to trade one step ahead of retail investors than to rant and rave at how naive they are. Several of us on the predecessor of this thread foresaw the development of the Pokemon craze a year ago, and many of us foresaw this current run when the stock was around 30. A couple of us can even take credit for saying "short squeeze" about 20 points ago, right here on this thread. But I don't think it takes any brains or balls whatsoever to look at a stock that has gone parabolic and yell that it's eventually going to fall, as you've been doing.
