It's nice to see this always classy board coming back to life. As for today, it was probably too early for the pre-earnings run-up anyway. What's important to me is THQ going forward. In the earnings press release I would like to see a comment about Q1, ie, we expect to meet or beat analyst estimates for Q1. I would also like to see a mention of Smackdown being THQ's highest ordered game ever (assuming it's true). The nice thing is that THQ is probably going to have its highest March sales ever, so maybe our Jan.-Feb. dip has taken the place of the usual March one. Marc

Emmo do you have access to time and sales data? I think your assessment is correct. Unfortunately my Live Charts service which used to give me time and sales for 24hrs would only give me the previous 30 minutes today. I checked it more than 30 minutes after the big down draft so couldn't confirm my suspicion that someone dumped a big block to start a selling frenzy so they could buy back cheaper but I could confirm a 79,000 share block at 3:35 which appears to have been at the ask and another large block after hours that was probably a buy. I think the shorts are trying to keep the price down while they discretely cover. Bob
