Dave, on this question of the need to fill gaps, I think it might be generally true and for the same reason that it is difficult for people to skip certain developmental stages in their childhood and still progress normally. Thus if some good news came out about THQI and it gapped up to $26 and then moved up, I would think that many buyers would not be willing to accept this higher price and the process of going back to $24 and working up would be the process that convinced buyers that this really was a $26 stock. But I don't think that this need to fill the gap applies now to THQI because the dramatic overachievement really changes the way people look at this company. It probably is not necessary to trade at $24.75 - $26 for most people to believe that this company is worth more than $26. If some news comes out tomorrow which causes the price to gap up to $34 and then move higher, perhaps that gap will need to be filled before the price can continue up, but I think that the gap caused by this reassessment of the earning power of this company need not necessarily be filled.

THQI was up 300% last year! 66% (for this year) isn't much since my entire portfolio averages a 2000% per year return. I don't even like video games...my son bought the Nitro but I think that the game S%#@S. I was once one of the biggest, when it came to this company. It has done well and DID NOT let me down. It is time to move along into companies such as FAMH and BGIX which will have at lease 1000% gains in the next 6 months. See how I work now? Did you come here to see the...wcw? OR DID YOU COME HERE TO SEEEE TTTHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEE NNNNNNNNNNNNWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO????? Jon

Dave- Are you telling me that Jon's penny stocks FAMH and BGIX aren't going to go up by 66% this year? C'mon, get real. As soon as anyone buys a share of either stock, the stock will jump 66% to its ask price! I'm not sure which is a wiser "investment": shorting THQI or buying penny stocks for 3 shares per dollar. Yeah, we'll see if his stocks are up 10-fold in 6 months. Good luck to him. But I find it terribly fascinating that people insist on buying penny stocks. One thing's for sure. Owning THQI is one of the best moves that an investor can make this year. Once the institutions realize this fact, we'll be on our way. And I'll be happy for a paltry 66% increase from here, although I think 100% is more likely. Todd
