>>I see KIDE going nowhere with Toys story 2 being so hot.

Do you?<<
I doubt the share price is solely dependent on how well the movie does, although it will exceed $100 Million very easily. Factor in the video sales after its theatrical run and we're talking huge revenue.

When in doubt, check with the experts: kids. My nephews and nieces are rabid about the cult-like Poke phenomena. In a scary sort of way, it reminds me of the Amway way: filling your home with only its products. These kids are sometimes dressed head to toe with Poke socks, shoes, undies, shirts, hats, watches, lunchbox, etc. Not to mention the Pokemon games themselves.

I opened a small position today by selling the Jan 50 puts for $8 3/4.

RE: Toy Story II. $81 Million for the first five day opening! THQI has the GameBoy rights as well as the WWF license. I expect a KIDE-like run for THQI shortly.

You obviously don't have kids. Just because TS2 goes well doesn't mean KIDE won't. Kids want both. And in this day and age chances are they will get it. If you consider the recent days run-up, KIDE was not hurt more than any other stock today. Looking out for a technical bounce tomorrow.

Added some today...I think that it will still enjoy incredible box office success. Mania for toys is stronger than ever. News is that Amazon and Etoys are already running out of some...of course,that could be bad. Hope supply can come close to not melting down. I think this thing has legs into Q1. Certainly will be a ride up and down at times. Just like the up part a little better from my angle. ASDS, IMAN, QNTS and WFII are my main focus now, but I still love my KIDE.
