The whole game industry has been pumped sky-high on the premise of blockbuster earnings which will not even begin to meet expectations (there is also WAY too much hope being pinned on the XBOX).

Game-makers across the board are trading at all-time highs (check out ERTS and THQI).

It always has been and still is a cyclical biz. As usual, the crap has also risen with the good stuff. IFGM is crap. Pump or not, it should be shorted here. In fact, a good cae can be made for shorting ALL the game companies going into the release of XBOX and this Christams season.

TTWO - speaking of good game company shorts...it looks like Cohodes at Rocker and Greenberg (at thestreet.com) are targeting this one.

2. Huge amount debt, shareholder value negative.
3. Negative cash flow can not even maintain for another quarter.
5.Quartely gross margin decrease from 63% to 47%.
