Boy, THQI today is a lot like the action this year in KIDE, EIDSY, JAKK. Quick dips that quickly disappear. Road Rash and Motocross ads on WWF Warzone last night. We're also getting reports of some more stores finally getting Sinistar in, as well as Road Rash and Destruction Derby. Marc

More likely it was market maker manipulation. I've seen this many times before with this stock. They let the bottom drop out, and then let in a buyer or buyers at the lower price and work it back up. Usually buying into a drop like is a good short term play.
