Christmas is coming, and customers will be a little gun-shy of mass-produced products like Mattel's this year. Wall Street will punish the stock in January, and I'd be surprised if it didn't hit a new 52-week low in the weeks shortly after the New Ye...

The lead based paint issue is over. Toy screens will be much more indepth after this summers extensive mishaps. With the significant hit the toy companies took this summer, now is a great time to buy while they're still low.

There is a 15% chance this company won't outperform in the next five years or so. I'm taking it. The companies' tickers that fit the Conan-Holder model criterion of a Z value between 12 and 14 and are as much a safe bet as this company (meaning if yo...

Bad run of luck in China. But the management of Mattel is top knotch. This is a good time to buy a dip in their history, but be ready to ride low for a year at least. It will take that long for people to forget about the recalls.

This has been caught up on the hysteria over lead in Chinese made toys. This will blow over.

This stock shows a trend in making long term value not yearly input. In other words every few years the toy market booms.
