This is nuts stock goes up this A.M like something good will be announce then wam it falls apart. News is either real bad or real good. Think that scares me is how far the stock dropped in such a quick time
Ironically if stock hits 911 thats an emergency call for shorts to cover!!!
Take a look at LF call options for $1,50 or less you can buy May 7.50 options. We may not be sure what will haven in 3 weeks, but something sure will. Lets say you buy 10 options @ $1.50 $1050.00 investment nothing happens over next 3 weeks you sell them @ say $1.30 your risk about $200 if stock goes below $7.50 you loose your $1050.00 But lets say earnings are good stock goes to $9.50 you make $500. stock goes to $10.00 you make over $950.00 You get lucky and either buyout rumors start or the nearly 15,000,000 shorts start covering stock could easily go to $12.00 and option would be $4.50 or $4500.00 for about a $3400 gain.!
Speculative yes unrealistic No. f you think stock will go to $9.20 or higher by 4/17 you should by the options instead of the stock. If the whole world falls apart completely market tanks 2000 point the absolute most you can loose is $1050 (plus commissions
The positive stuff just keeps on coming I can't imagine being short here, but nearly 15 million share don't agree we shall see!
Shorts won't let it right now there playing chicken first one to cover wll look pretty smart last will look like a total fool. HAS and MAT acting great especially considering the market . First guy out will probably be able to cover 7.75 to 8.10 last guy will be lucky to cover @ 12. Wuldn't be surprised to see first hedge fund cover and then go long. Getting interesting!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone out there see the 30,000 shareblock at end of day come in day after day after day!
Any ideas it appears to be on the sell side any covenants or anythng?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Don't know if it will help, but MAT put in a solid quarter beating earnings estimates!
Quite simply we need the upside volume .If stock trades over 2Million shares and is over 8.70 we are on our way. must scare out the shorts Positive news would blow this thing out of the water!!!
Would also like link and/or target price. Right now we just need to PUMP UP THE VOLUME on the upside of course!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
We have a good company if we could pick off Leapfrog (LF) for under $12.00 it would really add to our product line!! MAT got Fisher Price. Don't let them get LF Next year would probly cost us over $15.00 to pull off a takeover. $12.00 would be a high enough premium that we could pull it off and yet not overpay!!!!!
The answer is they can"t. I'am not always big on buybacks, but if they have the confidence in their future that they say a buyback at anyprice below 9.5 is an absolute steal!!!!!!!!! In fact I believe they have both a moral and even fiduciary responsibility to do this before even considering buying another Company. As a takeover target i also makes them worth more. The thing that continues to amaze me is HAS MAT and Lego could really benefit from owning these guys. Lego is now the largest of them all and just a few years ago was considered a one product fad and the bank refused to loan them money while their no public you can still get info on them and the history is somewhat similar to LF.
I agree, to me the shorts are now playing chicken not wanting to be the last to cover but not wanting to cover too soon, can you imagine if they covered and then went long? Maybe just optomistic thinking because I own so much, but it sure looks like it could happen Personally way overloaded in this stock but will buy more if large upside volume (over 2.5 Million) comes in but not before.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
You don't donate $2,000,000 to anything if your not going to have a good quarter. Last year earnings run started 4/10 hopefully it will start a few days earlier this year!!
Sure is 100% bullish signal Tecnically 30 minutes ago ST goal $3.60
I also put in all my shares 10,700 GTC @ $13
Sentiment: Strong Buy
HAS and MAT extremely strong Some large volume over 8.74 and Katy bar the door and you can bet the shorts know this!!! P.S One trick pony LEGO just became largest toy company with ONE BILLION in operating profits LF will be another Lego!!!!!!!!!
Lego though private just surpassed Mat in size hold NOW consider LF as a takeover before Lego DOES!!!!
