| Pokemon
Madness |
| A Pikachu
LCD watch keychain is in stock today at US$12. This product will
probably be used more as a desktop ornament than a keychain since it is too big and fat to
dangle from your fingers. Pikachu is packed in a cardboard backed blister pack. Also in
stock today are four different decks of Pokemon playing cards. Playing
cards as in poker, black jack, old maid, etc. Each card is decorated with a different
Pokemon or trainer - example, in the Pokemon Yellow deck, we have Pikachu as the Ace of
Spades and Squirtle as the Ace of Hearts, etc. The only difference between decks however
is the character that is shown on the back side of each card. The Yellow deck features
Pikachu, the Green deck shows a blue Toad type creature (name, anyone?), the Blue deck is
fronted by a turtle with gun turrets that pop out from his shell and the Red deck sports
an orange fire breathing dragon. Each deck is in stock at US$7. NCS will
post pictures of these items tomorrow. |

| Final
Fantasy VIII Keychains |
| A
set of seven Final Fantasy keychains arrived this morning. Squall, Seifer, Rinoa, Zell, an
adult Chocobo, Squall's necklace, and Squall's sword are all available. The manufacturer
is Banpresto under license from Square. The quality is really superb with great character
details. Squall's keychain has him wearing his leather ensemble with the criss-cross belt
and show the three buckles on his right leg. Squall's face is marked with the cut from
Seifer and he wears his trademark necklace on the front. His boots each have a mini buckle
on them and the "leather" of his pants are creased realistically. Squall holds
his sword, which juts out 2 inches from his frame. The other characters are equally
detailed and we even get a gander at Rinoa's garters. Simply beautiful work that will
impress any doting fan of the Final Fantasy VIII game. All keychains are bagged in a mini
mylar bag and include a Final Fantasy VIII cardboard tag. Each keychain is priced at US$6. |

Markets |

The market knocked us out of our SPH short at 1278 and forced us long 5 SPH at the same
time. We then watched the SPX tumble back as much as 6 points before regaining strength
and heading higher to close at 1282. Good trade but it was a nail biter since the market
could have crumbled in a twinkling of an eye if sellers appeared and sold en masse. It
didn't happen and now, it is almost a definite that Dow 10,000 will be attained next week.
Perhaps even the bears want this threshhold to be hit and use it as a shorting platform. |
