PLCOP - some DD

For the 9 months ended 12/31/98 they reported sales of $27 mil., up 53% from prior year. EPS .23 vs <.21> for the prior 9 months.

3rd Q. sales were up 41% over the prior year with same store sales improving 12%.

They just announced a web site to sell excess inventory at wholesale prices but they should be announcing the opening of a more significant web site to sell all their in-store products within a month.

They feature upscale toys, electronic playthings, educational toys, collectable toys - which they state are higher margin than mass market toys.

Float is 2.2 mil.

Triffin - PLCO/PLCOP

Shorting PLCO as a hedge against buying PLCOP would seem to be a great idea. However, most brokers in the US will not allow you to short a stock that trades under $5. Perhaps that is why you could not find any to short.
