When the economy falls, the demand for escapist entertainment rises. History has proven this over and over again. During “The Great Depression” (1929 – 1939) 25% of American families had no income and 40% of factory workers were unemployed. In 1930 there were 200,000 evictions in New York City alone.
Despite this, movie box office receipts during the 1930s soared 22%. In many cases people elected to see a movie, rather than eat. That’s how desperately North Americans needed to escape (mentally) from the weight of their problems. And if you think things are different now, think...
Eric Wolff submits: It's been a while since I've posted on Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (MCZ). I've been receiving some emails on the stock as its drifted lower, so I thought I'd post a brief update. A few events have happened of note since the latest earnings announcement:
1) Several insiders sold shares around the $1.40 level
2) Announcement of a small faceplate deal
3) More details released on the InAir products
4) No GTA or other major faceplate deal announced
Overall, I have been a bit disappointed with the recent developments. I trimmed my position after the insiders sold,...

Eric Wolff submits: Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (MCZ) reported earnings of $.01 in Q4, of $.07 for the year. This is its second straight quarter of strong gross margins, which came in at 29.1% -- particularly impressive considering there was no major release of high margin product in the quarter, as far as I am aware.
Management has done an excellent job improving gross margins on low margin product, and refocusing the business on more attractive products going forward. Management also kept expenses down, and has continued to paid down a good chunk of debt from cash flows. Looking...
Eric Wolff submits: Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (MCZ) has had quite a run since I first posted the idea at $.72.
Yesterday I took some gains off the table and, though I still believe there may be some upside left here, the risk/reward is not as attractive as it was two months ago, justifying a smaller position sizing in my portfolio (from 10% to 4%).
On a side note, it is clear that MCZ trading has been taken over by the momentum crowd, which is fickle and generally unpredictable. This crowd could easily take the stock much higher...
Eric Wolff submits: Mad Catz Interactive, Inc.

I currently have calls out to try and assess the terms and breadth of the deal in more detail, but...
