Good for Al Kahn. Now he can go throw it away by drawing cookies in place of rice balls.

And everyone wonder why Al Kahn is still around....he makes money...and to any potential stock buyer that all they care about. However that said I'd like to see how 4kids share performance in the next couple of years....considering that huge lost they had last year. Pokemon out, and same with Yu-gi-Oh....there is a lack in quality titles available..

True, they use guns, but they're laser-type guns, not guns with actual bullets. And since laser-type weapons don't fit in One Piece, water guns were the next...er, "best" thing. |

I have a hard time reconciling this with the recent news that their profits are down. Who buys stock of a company whose profits are going down? Strange.

Well, keep in mind that these are the best stock of the past decade, the past 10 years. Thats when the Pokemon was at peak, and when Yu-Gi-Oh was climbing up the marketing ladder as well.
If someone were to compile a list of the best stocks now, I highly doubt 4kids would make the list. |

I'm curious as to how reliable the information from The Motley Fool really is. I just check 4Kids' stock information from MSN Money, and according to this report, the stock is expected to underperform in the market within the next six months. The grades for this stock are not really that impressive:
I don't own any stocks (not yet, anyway  ), but it seems to me that given the recent trends in the anime market and the information provided here (not to mention the decreasing popularity of Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh!), I probably would avoid this stock if possible for the time being.

This should be posted with the usual financial prospectus caveat "Past performance is no guarantee of future performance."

This is just a list of the top 10 performing stocks over the past 10 years. I don't think it's meant as a "You should buy these stocks NOW!!!" report, so much as "You should be paying attention to the smaller companies out there."
Besides, hasn't 4Kids been in a slump for a while? Investors doing their homework should be able to see that. Furthermore, looking up one of the other stocks (which I know about) on MSN Money's site makes me wonder where MSN Money is getting their info from, or if they just don't have their fingers on the pulse of smaller companies.

MSN Money's information is provided by CNBC. It's part of the partnership between Microsoft and NBC. |

Aha. Thanks for the clarification. Not that I get CNBC, though...so I have no idea how they do with small caps awareness. Now, how long before this thread gets flooded by kids who assume this is a "10 best" list? Makes me want to put in some references to books on investing! *evil cackle* |

True, this year has been pretty bad for them but not catastrophic. They still have lots of money to buy stuff with, but a lot of there past hot properties are now gone. This would actually be a good time to buy if you have any faith in the company. But after the joke that is One Piece, it would take some serious re-convincing to put money into that company. I would wait and see if they can do something good first. And the stock would need to be about $4 cheaper to be a good buy. With the year they had I am surprized its still at $18. But to answer your question. Lots of people buy stocks when the profits are going down. With the expectation that they will go back up. In this case I think it is hard to see where the company is going. |

I'm familiar with the concept of buying stocks when the share prices are down, but lower profits? I don't see the logic there. |
