Dave- I'd buy now, rather than try to guess the best possible entry point. I expect a run-up prior to the earnings report, as people who expect THQ to beat estimates begin to buy in. If you get in before they do, you'll get a better price. The more the stock runs up prior to the earnings release, the more likely it is to pull back on the news. But I don't expect a real breakout until the news comes out, so I'd be surprised to see any pull back next week. If I didn't own all the shares that I do, I'd certainly load up right now. Todd

Dave - If you're looking to get in as an INVESTMENT, it really doesn't matter. When I got in, I debated over 9, or 9 1/2, or 8 3/4, or 8. A year from now, hopefully who cares if they got in at 22 or 23 or 24? Now if you're a short term trader, that's a different story! Rich

I was stopped out about two weeks ago and didn't buy back in while I was on vacation. Decided to get in this morning. I bought back my position fine in my Keogh account but just the time it took to switch to my regular account put me behind the eight ball. Then some problems with the way my broker handled the trade (it stayed in approval status for about ten minutes while I desperately tried to get them on the phone....I won't identify the broker this time) cost me perhaps a full point. So I am back in with part of my position at a cost higher than I wanted. But so what. If it goes up to $27 I can decide to stay for the long haul or get out again and hopefully buy in later. This company really has a lot of potential.
