2007 had the highest number of births in US history. Mattel (especially through Fisher Price) targets 0-9 year olds heaily.

What does Mattel produce that will create value and generate growth? Not Barbie!

Longterm, Mattle has the ability to make and market popular toys and games...Barbie aint gonna die. After the past year or so of recession, people have been staying home a lot more oftern. And with nowhere to go and no money to spend...well, I have a feeling we will see a lot more littly people in the next year or so than normal, boding well for an increased market for toys. Further, when the economy recovers, current parents will attempt to make up for the lean year or so in toys and overspend on the kiddies. Mattel (and Hasbro) will benefit from these two trends over the next five years in my opinion.

An extremely high percentage of investors are either already looking for a safety net or they will be shortly. Traditionally, the safety net for investors is a competitive dividend yield. At a current yield of approximately 5%, Mattel is an opportunity that will be sought after because it oustrips the rates at a bank by several times. Even if the price rises and the yield falls, it will be some time before the rate can fall sufficiently to make a bank look good again.

They increase production overseas. Something is cooking

Mattel is in pretty good shape and will probably continue on a steady course. I'd recommend the stock for a "Buy and Hold" strategy, but it won't beat the index.

Never forget the market for toys. Priced to load up.

Kids will always prefer toys over coal!

I'll take the dividend.

Mattel sells toys. People have children. People buy toys for kids (if you don't believe me you don't have kids). The company may not grow hugely but it will get through this mess, and is a good buy right now.

Brands like Barbie have been suffering for quite some time

good company
