I will tell you... CORX Cortex, 5/16x11/32 a very speculative stock a silly little gamble Does a lot of volume for a market cap of 3M. Got a grant from NIH today, that makes it look a little less like a penny, of course if it's drug ever works it will look a lot less like a penny... It faces delisting from the Nasdaq, off to BB heaven, where anything is possible, at least for the nimble trader and a few lucky ones. What made me put this on my watch list? Well somebody who's posts I value must have said something on the thread of course, but mostly there was this press release: Cortex Reports its Ampakines Increase Levels of Two Critical Proteins Required For Healthy Brain Cells biz.yahoo.com I am not qualified in anyway to judge whether the stock is for real. To me it just seems like a good gamble for a position trade on a time scale of weeks to months. I bought some today at 11/32. Happy hunting! -MM

HOT CHRISTMAS TOY................... stock symbol is KIDE Going back in History, first we had Star Wars minutures, then the Pet Rock and the Cabbage Patch dolls; then Castle Grey SKull minutures. Who could ever forget TeddyRuxPun and the noises of GigaPets and the Tomagotchi's and beanie babies. This year we have Pokemon. Pokemon is a new cartoon that is gaining popularity. It began in September and is a new craze among children. It airs in 85% of the country. The watchers of this cartoon are encouraged to become a Pokemon master by buying all 150 differnet pokemon's (little pocket sized creatures). 4 KIDS ENTERTAINMENT (Nasdaq: KIDE) has the marketing rights to Pokemon characters. They have established promotions with Kentucky Fried Chicken (which are so hot, KFC can't keep them stocked) and recently a marketing deal with Hasbro for larger versions. Everything indicates Pokemon will be a significant success. There are 150 of them to collect and that means money in the pocket for KIDE. This is not all. KIDE has the marketing rights for NINTENDO characters, and ALL STAR Wrestling Characters. How are they doing FINANCIALLY? ........GREAT ! Earnings were released Last Friday:.......HUGE TURNAROUND went from losing 4 cents to making 11 cents. biz.yahoo.com Technically, the chart is on a break-out. Fundamentals are strong. No debt, lots of cash, low P/E. KIDE is poised. Regards, S.W.
