Agreed, but with a reasonable amount of risk in Corporate bonds or muni-bonds, high single digits are not that unreasonable. In any event, I agree that it is a rather silly argument as THQ would not follow this path. I only made it to illustrate the point that it is much easier to stay rich, than it is to get rich. Look at the amount of interest income MSFT books every year and it becomes easy to see that it makes it easier to keep increasing those earnings when you are milking a cash horde.
I may start taking back some of my PSX Rugrats doubts. Went to the Walmart last night and it was sold out after having over a dozen copies this past weekend. Revenge also sold out, as well as Bug's Life, Small Soldiers, Nitro PC, Rugrats GB, Bowling PC, and BASS PC. Clerk did not think they would be getting any Revenge in until next week. As for the other items - he did not know when/if they would be getting more.
So I hunted for what was left of THQ games and came up with 2 PSX Bowling, 6 Granstream Saga, and 4 G Darius. So I wondered where did the 8 copies of Devil Dice go in the last week? I asked the clerk and found out they were PUT BEHIND a new AKLM game called Mr. Domino. So in protest, I bought another copy of Devil Dice to give as a Christmas present, and after extolling the virtues of the game, persuaded him to move the other 7 copies to the sold out Rugrats space {g}.
I think I am beginning to lose control. Devil Dice forever,
