It appears to have closed up 1/8 at 7 7/8 today. Not bad with many others down. I never did find all the Hasbro stuff, and maybe no one else will either. I did notice, that in the top seller lists, Quake was shown to be manufactured by ID Software and Duke Nukem 3D was credited to Formgen, definitely opening the possibility of revenues not being attributed to GT Interactive.
In regard to 4Q earnings I will say, that if I were not a GTIS shareholder, I could probably pick earnings dead on. However under the circumstances, I don't dare, because it won't happen if I do. I will say, that I believe GT should beat the revised estimates, without much difficulty. This company keeps acquiring new entities all the time, in hopes of future growth, not discussing much in regard to financial details. And, who knows how that may or may not affect EPS?
I see GT Interactive with serious growth on the horizon. They are not acquiring all these new games and companies with the intent to do anything other than make more money. Tiger Woods said yesterday that he "hates to be second." Everybody wants a gold medal, not silver. You do not generally remember, who lost the Super Bowl, unless it was your team. GT Interactive wants the gold, and I want a piece of it. So, let's be optimistic in regard to GTIS and their attempts to move up. Way up. And, before I get too old to spend it, Mr Chaimowitz, please. That is all. Out.
