>>For now, I think the odds are greater that THQ could be acquired. In all seriousness, what assets does THQ have that would be worth acquiring, let alone paying upwards of two times their recorded value for them? THQ's greatest source of goodwill is probably its distribution channels/shelf space, and every other producer in this industry already has that set up. What would a competitor gain from buying THQI that they couldn't produce internally for a fraction of the cost? You will find that in a market of manic valuations, such as this, there are no rational answers to these questions.

You guys don't get it... THQI gets positive coverage from the brokerage doing the secondary.. that's the runup.. STRONG BUY blah blah blah.. Then the secondary hits the wire and everyone freaks at first. Once they read the non-dilutive conversion they get a grip etc.. Large investors get a piece of a great company without paying too much and THQI can DO WHATEVER IT WANTS WITH THE $$$$$! Forget the nickle and dime software... MAJOR PRODUCTION. As long as they didn't blow the money, it's a no brainer. Alohaaaaa
