Paul, is RCRC making the toy cars in China? I have seen model cars selling US$1-2, and the $20 ones are really detail.

With the market tide lifting all boats, it is time to think about what to short/hedge when tide go down (maybe in late Jan). I prefer to short stocks with following characteristic:

1. Large market cap stock, with smaller competitors more agile and profitable in the same sector.

2. Big debt/equity number, servicing debt is becoming an issue soon.

3. A mature industry with a lot of players, fierce competition and no real profit for everyone.

4. Big insider selling numbers.

5. In an industry that is about to be replaced by new emerging industry.

Any ideas are welcome!!!

Thanks and Merry Christmas,

Steve168

JAKK LDL RCRC ----

Paul,

I'm still holding my JAKK and RCRC. I am out of LDL, which was posted here. They came out with poor earnings and outlook on the 16th and I bailed. Surprisingly, the price held up on that date long enough for the sale. It was a profitable pick by Spek.
