Hello together, has anyone an idea who the hell is buying this stock at current levels. I personally will not buy this stock a single cent above 20 $ a share. I know many think that EIDSY will never ever go back to these levels but I'm sure it will (on the other side it can to to 150 before it retraces, so shorting this stock is way too scary for me). Current game releases are somewhat "mediocre": Braveheart was a flop, Abomination is just a "Jagged Alliance and X-Com" clone, Cutthroats is a rather boring "Pirates" remake, Soul Reaver is also not a hit on PCs, Omikron got only mediocre reviews and will also not be a smash hit and Renevant is only a simple clone of "Diablo" and will have no chance when Diablo II will be released next month. So what is left in EIDSY's pipeline? TR 4: will be a big seller, however I don't see it as a no. 1 Xmas hit. It's just the same stuff with almost no innovations and this year Lara must compete with the new "Indy Jones" game from LucasArts (by the way Drakan is also a really good TR clone and will cost EIDSY some revenues (I must also mention Prince of Persia 3D and Shadowman which are all in the same genre as TR). Daikatana: Will this game ever be released? Keep in mind Half Life Opposing Force and Quake 3 will also be relaased shortly. I don't see Daikatana as a big seller. Any comments? I think you guys are all rather unhappy like me cause we sold our EIDSY too early. Believe me my friends: Selling EIDSY (which was 70 % of my Portfolio) at 25 was the most expensive mistake I've ever made in my life...;-) I can say that, because so far I'm unmarried (just kidding)...;-) If I haven't sold I haven't have to work for years, but hey, I sold and it was a mistake! I'm through with it (No Lara, you haven't broken my heart yet and you'll never will). That's life, everybody makes mistakes and there's enough fish in the sea (which means other undervalued stocks). Regards Kai
