Genius Brands International Inc (GNUS)

Andy has been misleading retail investors for some time now. I've become used to it. It's one reason I didn't care if he gave guidance or not. You believe it at your own peril.

A few years ago, Secret Millionaires Club and Thomas Edison's Secret Lab were "tent poles". Whatever GNUS is currently working on or is newly put out, Andy will classify it as being the most likely to make money for the company.

I'm guessing that Q4 will look favorable. GNUS will probably book all the Mattel advances (something it probably could have done in Q3) and will generate revenue from licensing Llama Llama season 1 to non-Netflix broadcasters/streaming services, also, only four of the new episodes of Rainbow Rangers were delivered in Q3, so Q4 will book the revenue for the rest.

Andy had no problem sharing info to his Instagram followers. So, I'm worried about what Andy/GNUS is telling the institutional investors and not telling retail investors. I don't like seeing mass institutional buying or selling.

Acquisitions will also have the effect of obscuring GNUS's finances as the companies are integrated. It will be hard to judge how the business is doing.

Edit
If there is a season 3 of Llama Llama that would make the debt good, regardless of Andy saying the company is debt free.
