Numbers on toys hasn’t been great on a macro level, and there are some headwinds from a weak Black Friday. Q4 is always the biggest quarter of the year in terms of sales, so not a bad time to own it. He plays this through warrants. Goes Long warrants and Shorts the underlying common shares. Feels the warrants are mispriced and there is about 1.5 years left in them so he sees the optionality with the warrants.

Looked at it seriously recently. Has risen from the ashes. Re-stabilized the business. Must reinvent a good portion of their product line every year. Challenge will be to grow sales. It is fully valued here. Wait and see. Would buy if it got weak enough.

Very positive. Could be taken out by Mattel. Good to hold toy stocks going into Christmas. He is short the common stock and long the warrants. There is a year and a half left in the warrants. This is how he plays megabrands.

(A Top Pick April 23/13. Up 4.2%.) Went long on the warrants and shorted the stock. Still likes this strategy very much and this is one of his largest positions in his portfolio. Liked the Mega-Brand story but felt the warrants were mispriced.

Warrants: expire two years from now. They have had problems for years and years but chart is starting to breakout here over the last couple of months. Warrants should cause a tremendous resistance at $10.
