Rich, I've been in this stock since it was around $7 1/2 when MW2 was first released. To me, it does me no good for ATVI to trade in a range or to cycle up and down in the teens since I am a long-term buy and hold kind of investor. If ATVI keeps going up only to fall down again (as it has been doing), then I haven't made much money...and trust me, for all this headache, I haven't earned nearly enough money with this one! ;) My view is that ATVI will become more of a major presence in this industry than it currently is. It is gradually building a stable of solid games that will hopefully lead to more predictable earnings in the future, and hence, a more predictable (and higher!) stock price. The question is....can they be nimble enough to go where the money is? Even though we knew consoles were hot...ATVI was late to the party. This I find ironic given that ATVI first made its mark on the Atari consoles! But given the confusion over Sega Saturn, N64 and PSX, I guess direction was hard to find early on. Good luck and welcome aboard the ATVI bus....not very glamorous accomodations but hopefully we'll be able to upgrade to some sort of rocket soon! P.S. The ATVI homepage...look under Heavy Gear...they have 4 screenshots from Heavy Gear II...a totally new engine, but you'll have to have a 3D board to play! Hey John Chan, where did you go to?! Tom
