Thanks for the explanation. Nice to be back at $19 again. It will be great to say that it's nice to be back at $30 too! I like the top sales ratings of Smackdown last week. How about a press release that says something like.. "we sold 1 million Smackdown games in 2 weeks, and are preparing to ship an additional 1 million this week, making Smackdown the #1 selling game in the market today, and in THQ's history." I don't think they sold quite that many through. We should see the last of the lawsuit press releases. We just see a few final notices pop-up. Has anyone called for information? P.S. I bought QCOM today on MOT's positive comments. I was able to collect enough cash to buy 2 shares.
