1)Sigmund, fourth quarter estimates were already raised. You should not expect more upgrades in the next few weeks. 2)The reason why thqi is seeing increased intraday volatility is because there are now more momentum players moving in and out of the stock every day contributing to bigger swings. I think at these levels thqi may have trouble attracting more new long-term buyers. In the short-term, thqi has built in a lot of positive sentiment so I would not be surprised if it retrenches from here. Today, may have marked the beginning of a correction. Why? Thqi released positive news in the a.m. and the indexes were slightly positive, but it closed down more than a point. For the record, I still like thqi, but right now I've closed my position around these levels. I expect thqi to beat Q4 estimates hands down, but I think most investors who are buying in around these levels ($20-24) are probably doing so on that same assumption. I'm aware of Todd's estimates. I am not as certain by how much thqi will beat the consensus estimate. And the consensus estimate has moved higher in part to reflect strong sales in Q4 for Pax, WCW and the other games. The expectations on this thread are for a very strong Q4. 3)Sig, did you know that the French use less soap per capita than other countries in the European Union? I wonder how investors there are doing? cheers, Bleeker
