Judy, <how a stock can rise with poor earnings.> Everything on WS is relative. If the street is expecting -.08 and earnings come in at -.07 that is an upside surprise not "poor earnings". The earnings were good relative to what was expected. I too am out (actually out of TLC). I have not interest in the toy sector, but for long term investors my guess is that MAT has significantly more upside potential than downside risk over the next couple years. FF
