Bought into NKCIF yesterday. I am a long time THQI stockholder, and thought I would take a flyer on this one, despite the horrible financials and checkered history.. THQ came back from the dead as a video game company by concentrating on a niche - gameboy and old platforms, that the bigger boys had given up on. I see NKCIF doing something similar. For a long time I have wondered why no one was doing "edutainment" titles for the Playstation and N64. Seems a natural to me, and I suggested it many times to the THQI CEO. Maybe sales would not be high enough for them. Whatever, I think it is a good niche. Am I right in thinking that NKCIF is the only company doing edutainment titles for the platforms? Since software for the 3 to 6 age group is probably picked out by parents, and parents would be more likely than kids to buy a software with some "education" benefit, I think this might work. Regarding the profit prediction by the company for Q1, I loved that. As I figure it, they are predicting about .08 US per share. If they maintained this for 4 Q, they would earn .32 US for the year, giving them a foreward PE of around 5. If Q2 and Q3 earnings show growth over Q1, then we will have a winner here. But I agree this one needs some time to prove itself before most investors will jump onboard.
