Hasbro Inc. Message Board

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!

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!

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.

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!!

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!!!!
