When the stock price plunges, many longs urge that management make a statement. I usually argue against that. But the Herb Greenberg article is a different story. This is about the THQ Inc the business - not THQI the stock. The insinuation is that THQ's bill of good health comes from cooking the books. That's quite an allegation, and Farrell and Co. would do well to consider making an exception in this case. Wade

Why not pay a special dividend to those who vote their shares? Too expensive... You'd have to pay solicitors, information agents, broker/dealers, the postman, etc. just to get the word out. The amount that was paid would have to be high enough to remove the financial incentive to facilitate short transactions in the first place. Folks buying on margin are not registered holders so the company can't communicate directly with these investors. And again, the only way that the "original" buyer would be entitled to the dividend would be to pony up the dough to cover the debt from the margin account. In a lot of cases, I'm certain that this is easier said than done. DB
