that's hasbro versus mattel.is one of the most destructive pieces and you're going to have fun with it. hasbro owns the recent marvel comic based movies, transformers, g.i. joe and my little pony. mattel has a similar deal with d.c. comics, meaning they can make the merchandise for the new batman movie which just had a huge opening weekend and they also control some of the strongest toy brands on earth. we're now approaching the most important part of the year for toy companies. for just a huge chunk of sales. as a matter of fact, all you care about is that quarter to some degree. which do you buy? this throwdown does seem to be about as evenly matched as we've done on "mad money." hasbro is the second largest toy company. both companies recently reported better than expected quarters. hasbro yesterday, mattel a week ago. they each have big dividends. don't forget, if a stock goes down, the yield goes higher. so which is the better stock? maybe we should just have the action figures go at it, see who wins? when y

>> if you say hasbro has challen challenges, why do you have it as a buy?> it's way off the high and selling at the several multiple points below mattel. if you have to have the next quarter not be a disappoint i would say mattel is more likely to have a surprise. if you look over a one or two year horizon, i think hasbro is chi cheap enough for a return. >> anything else we're not seeing in the general public that could be a gigantic trend like a funnel web toy, furby? >> there are a lot of challenges as kids are digitizing their fun. on the positive side you never can tell. remember that tickle me elmo was no even hot that thanksgiving the year it was -- >> we seem to have lost shawn. we do apologize, we're live tv here. >> funnel web spider. >> digitizing their fun. >> next time i tell them to get off the video games, stop digitizing your fun. >> tickle me elmo a great gift. tickle me allen was not good. >> fiat is giving a new meaning to a cup of joe on the go. get i! [ male announcer ] don't have the hops for hoops with your buddies? lost your appetite

what do you think about hasbro?> i like hasbro, but you're attracted to the fact that mattel had a great quarter. i would rather watch mattel come down and pick up mattel. that was a great quarter and hasbro has let us down in previous quarters. rich from my home state of new jersey. rich? >> caller: boo-yah, jim. mosaic was up 5% today. fertilizers have run a long way in the past three or four weeks. what do you think of a small corn fertilizer named rentech nitrogen partners? >> you got to go with the potash here. by the way, this corn crop is going away in this country. and people don't talk about it enough, what is happening. and the farmers can't go buy farm equipment, but fertilizer is going to be king. and as much as i don't like to recommend red hot stocks, potash is going higher. anger? i feel it, i sense it, it ain't making any money. throw barbs at me, okay? throw them at the market. as long as there's money to be made, check the anger to do some buying. "mad money" will be right back. >>> coming up, fun

look at mattel and hasbro. to date, it's been no contest. >> you're right.el is up mid-teens percent year to date and we think despite hiccups tomorrow morning, the trajectory is positive. >> who has the standout product to think about five, six months out from christmas? >> it's always the hit product but it's the belly of the curve that really translates in to real earnings power for these guys. there are great products to see. toy fair in february, mattel with the monster high brand and met with very strong reception at retail. hasbro with the nerf stuff, there's a fantastic almost a night vision for kids to see with sports balls that really great. but it's really keep in mind looking at these from the invest standpoint, the belly of the curve drives it. >> they're recession resistant to some degree but do you think you'll see trade down and margin pressure with both of these stocks? >> actually i don't. the reason they hold up so well is 80% of the products are actually still below $25 so, you know, again, some of those key, you know, high price point ge
