Looks cheap, will be higher by 2013 xmas shopping season

SEEN THAT ON MARCH 14th AND MARCH15th INSIDERS PURCHASED 51,125 SHARES..... I THINK SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN..... POSSIBLE BUY OUT..?? OR SALES FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ARE VERY HIGH... ESPECIALLY IN THE OVERSEA MARKET.....

the family should be better off in the near term housing improving--disposable income for learning gizmos

This is a company that has proven time and time again....when you allign your goals on a corporate level to precisely what you want to produce, then your product will be precisely that.

Reading their Annual Report 2012, you can tell that their entire focus is geared towards making children happy educationally, and doing so with a product that stands up to them!

They absolutely dominate the electronic educational toys niche. And that's no small niche. Parents will shell out major $$$ if they think it will make little Johnny and Suzie smarter. Just check the rankings on Amazon. LF is tearing it up.

This is a good company and has great products. The crowd just doesn't realize it yet.

My daughter loves these things, traditional toy manufacturers have to be quaking in their boots with the rise of digital toys and games. Who wants a GI joe action hero made of crappy plastic and lead based paint made in China? My daughter's peer's(4 year olds) all love the leap frog systems and have them. I see a potential for them to be a takeover target as well.

Not sure if anybody has seen the leapfrog systems, software but DVDs. I think this is a growth market, and these guys seem to know what they are doing.

I got 6 kids and I'm always looking for educational stuff. I may be a buyer below $8.00.

The last quarterly results have been misinterpreted by analysts mentioning inventory excess. This excess is actually fulfilling unmet retailers shelfs and then creating their own shelf for the shoe to fall on surprising results over Christmas. This small company does have competitors - but they will swallow up LF instead of competing with it. Amazing product and it will be a hit in the United States as the quarterly news release will show in February.

Great management team with years of experience and past success stories at larger companies. Not a lot of competition, either.

Leap Frog is producing learning tools for children of a quality I have not seen in other companies. They are teaching young children phonics and early reading skills plus so much more. We have a public school system that is producing failing grades in this area! It is up to parents and family to make sure their child has the skill set needed to read. This stock once traded at $47, that is where it should be. They are now branching out and this last Christmas had the number one toy in America and Britain...Leap Pad 2...My grandkids love this toy, I bought it for my 5 yr. old grand daughter, and the 2 yr old and 8 year now want one also.

Top products sold out before & after Christmas, new app development line, heavy insider buying, and strong potential for acquisition

one of my stock picks for 2013
