Mattel's New Year's Resolutions

Get rid of RD and CK - they ensure that Mattel's money serves only them instead of the company and manage a team of a-holes and two-faced liars. Learn from the hiring mistakes of the past and never revisit them. Encourage and develop those that are... — read more

Horrible treatment of loyal employees

After many years with Mattel I am appalled at the treatment of employees who have been loyal and worked beyond what was required. Employees used to matter but now are only replaceable numbers. Look for another job because they will toss you to the... — read more

Will 2019 be the year Hasbro finally takes over Mattel?

They last tried in 2017. With Mattel bleeding cash like nobody's business, and losing licensees left and right, it might not have a choice anymore. All Hasbro has to do is wait, and Mattel will be a penny stock waiting for bankruptcy.

Going to $6-7 share by end of January

Hasbro will then get the company for $10-11. Mattel could have originally received $22. The hubris of the management team and Board is unbelievable. It is unbelievable this incompetent group have been allowed to kill the company.
