Hollywood's Swap Meet [Fool.com: Motley Fool Take] June 8, 2005

Hollywood's Swap Meet [Fool.com: Motley Fool Take] June 8, 2005

Gamestop is swapping for profits.

One of our Stock of the Week selections on our companion site, GME, has been swapping games for profits. GME is the biggest retail outlet of computer games. Teens love video games--for a while. When they tire of a couple of old games, the simple solution is to trade them in at GME for another used game or even on a new one.

Since we posted the stock as a Stock of the Week selection, March 15, 2004, the stock is up 63%! USG is up 46% since February 1 and TEAM is up 27% since April 13. For the past several weeks, we have had just too much fun riding the airlines. The airlines were largely responsible for taking our accounts to all time net new highs. Now that these have slowed, it is nice to mention a few of the lessor know stocks that have done well.

The BULL is RUNNING! There is no excitement in the market today but the indexes are inching up. We purchased more FON last week and are enjoying the nice move in our NXTL and FON shares. SRZ

Please visit our Stock of the Weeksite often. We get a chuckle from the constant question of what do we like. We try to post at least one good stock to our Stock of the Week site every week.

We believe:

One should buy good values.
One should own 25 or more stocks.
One should trade infrequently.
One should "weed the garden".
One should avoid high fee brokers.
One should avoid high fee funds.
Stocks are cheap relative to bonds and real estate!

Types of set - some children are naturally inclined
towards machines, whilst some move towards buildings or a combination of both.
Being Lego there is of course a construction element to all the
games and this is a great way to get younger fans into game play beyond computers.
At 14+ these models are more in the league of adult collectors who enjoy the attention to
detail and design and the intricate build.

A� The rectangular shape and the bolted studs, which accent the tank watches,
came from the styling of the Army tanks, of that time.
With time ticking by in the competitive fashion marketplace,
Skagen watches will continue to grow leaps and bounds over the competition while remaining true to their high standards of quality and luxury.
Keep in mind, that there are certain watch makers, who demand top dollar,
for their watches.

Kids are under more pressure than ever to succeed in school.
With school books, notebooks, computers, video games, cell phones (not to mention snacks
and water bottles), all having become "must have" items.
To do this I still put a large plastic bag in my backpack and pack everything
in this.
