<<< warning that THQ might do something dilutive within the next three or four months.<<< Strange that the M&A man was made a Co-Chair of the Board. <<<<< Jeffrey Lapin, who is currently a director of THQ, has accepted the newly created position of vice chairman. Lapin will work on mergers and acquisitions, as well as strategy and planning with Brian J. Farrell, president and chief executive officer, THQ. Lapin was most recently president of House of Blues Hospitality, and previously was president and CEO of Starwood Hotels & Resorts.<<< Vice-Chair is a Board position i.e. he is not an officer of the company if I read this correctly. I interpret this as possible a board revolution over THQI's acquisition strategy. Looks like they want someone a bit more knowledgeable about this than Farrell. My guess is that they expect THQI to be bought out. Why else put a hotel person in charge of M&A. How about gambling. Does Lapin have expertize in that area. Gambling and electronic games may go together. This is certainly an intriguing move which I think long term is bullish even though it may be unsettling for a while until people make up their own minds as to what is going on.
