THQI is certainly heading into the bread and butter stretch of revenue garnering with the holidays ahead. Lots of good press lately. I had not seen it mentioned here, but THQI was recently in a Bloomberg mag. list of "fastest growing" companies, (based on rev. growth, if my recollection is correct). I think they were 45th or so out of 100. Looking over most of the top 50, THQI was actually one of only two or three companies listed that had + earnings. Any press like that is gravy.

Semi-OT +++++++++
NOT an endorsement from me, but I heard about this site on NPR

www.acompany.com

It termed "Group Aggregation": More people that order the goods and the price goes down(too a point, that is). See this offering:

gamer's delight. Be the first on your block to own this exciting
video game system.

Starting Price: $199.99
-Current Price: $184.95 [$179 when >21 order one before closing]
Savings so far: $15.04

Closing Time: Monday, 2pm EDT
The cycle may close *BEFORE* the listed time, if the maximum number of buyers has been reached.

Brian, I mentioned $60 a day before MG but that's merely my hope that market will grant THQI a 22x multiple of my expected earning of $2.70. Keep in mind that THQI won't easily achieve triple digit revenue or earning growth nowaday as compare to 96,97,98. THQI, although still young and small, has growth to a mature established game company (the top 4, I still consider AKLM is a bigger but less efficient competitor). I expect revenue growth to be 40% or up for FY2k. Also earning projection is getting closer to reality since Pipar's coverage . More competitors among brokerage houses and they'll look bad if their estimates off too much from reality). I am very positive about THQI, I am happy now because THQI already hit my low ball estimate for the year, whatever on the upside is gravy to me :o)

Oh, by the way. Did Microsoft said they want to make console and compete with Sony STB? Looks like ERTS, AKLM and THQI can be take-over target of MSFT.
