Just yesterday, one of those Fools, DLester78, offered some parental insight into LeapFrog bull case:
My daughter loves these things. [T]raditional 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 peers (4 year olds) all love the [LeapFrog] systems and have them. I see a potential for them to be a takeover target as well.
If you want market-topping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite its four-star rating, LeapFrog may not be your top choice.
