The latest issue of Newsweek (11/23) has a piece on the enormous and growing popularity of wrestling. Here's a quote from the article: "As Jesse (The Mind) Ventura got ready to rumble in the Minnesota statehouse last Monday, 7 million households tuned in to the WWF or its archrival, Ted Turner's World Championship Wrestling - including as many young males as watched the World Series. Sales of tickets, pay-per-view events, T shirts, video games, action figures and the like top $1 billion a year." And, a photo caption associated with the article adds: "Licensed gear tops half a billion bucks." With those kind of numbers, no wonder KIDE's CEO has predicted 1998 earnings would exceed $.70 per share, even with only a few weeks contribution from Pokemon. And, in 1999, when the revenues from Pokemon and Zelda start rolling in, my guess is he'll be talking Hulk Hogan-sized earnings for KIDE.

Street Walker No one here, I guess is smart enough to know how to calculate what to expect for 4th quarter earnings. "We expect record sales for 1998 with earnings to exceed $0.70 cents per share," "Net income for the nine month period was $799,874 or $0.22 cents per share on a fully diluted basis" So they are planning on making atleast 0.70 cents in 12 months and they have already made a NET of $800,000 or 0.22/share in 9 months. So the fourth quarter needs to make enough NET that they make 0.70/share for the year. What would the 4th quarter NET INCOME have to be, and earnings/share for the quarter, to achieve this conservative 0.70/share for the '98 year? Any MBA types following this stock? bo
