In terms of longs vs shorts, Monday morning looks quite interesting. These Fridays after Thanksgiving are not very accurate predictors -- they tend to be swayed by retail investors, not the professionals. What happens when everybody returns to the game Monday morning will tell the real story. My guess is that KIDE pops at the opening and pretty quickly runs down from there. I don't think the shorts are finished with KIDE, and these last two days are just a vacation. However, if the shorts really are covering, then you get a good chance of another 10 point day. The movie will add another $10 million weekend (although it's Toy Story's turn to get the $50 million) and the shopping buzz about Pokemon will certainly be out there. Which view is more correct? Monday morning will tell. For the record, I am a previous long, currently with a small short position taken late today (Friday). I expect to be long again sometime next month. There's money to be made both ways. jg
