Neenny - my two kids were the Pokemon authorities in their respective grades for many months before the craze really heated up, and they really don't seem to have lost interest. It's just shifted over time from the TV show, to the figures and other merchandise (we even bought Japanese imported Pikachu pancake mix), to the cards - of course, both U.S. and Japanese versions. But you have to be careful to distinguish the fad from the stock. The big money has already been made on the long side, and it's almost time for those Wrong Way Corrigan shorts to finally be right. If you own the stock, pay close attention to it once it begins to drop, because there's nothing but air supporting the price in a short squeeze. -Eric

KIDE --

Pokemon is hot for sure, Neenny. However, the elementary aged children my friends have could NOT sleep when they had pokemon cards in their hands, now they can.. That's all I try to point out. Pokemon could be very hot for the next year or 2, but I doubt it.

I am a long term investor, I see KIDE cut in half around or shortly after Christmas.

Of cuz, I could be wrong and if I were, I will take my loss and learn my lesson.
