The main asset THQ has is Brian Farrell and his unique business model. I can't see him working for anyone else, and I can't see anyone wanting THQ without him. Maybe he'd work for ERTS or someone if they paid a zillion for THQ.

I don't think you can accurately assume any person will stay with a company forever. There are things that happen to all of us that are beyond our control and require us to make career changes. It is always a possibility that one person leaves, dies, becomes ill, or takes on new responsibilities but has hired others and taught them skills that can be equally beneficial to a firm.

For now you can be happy that you have a winner here and you that know why you bought THQI and make your decisions to sell if that reason is no longer valid.

I could see a secondary happening. But not for cash to sit around. If Farrell has an idea for a major move and if this takes cash, I wouldn't be surprised to see THQI raise this cash. I hope not to see this particularly if it has to do with PC software, but it wouldn't surprise me.

And yes, if the stock rises to $30 or plus re this quarter's earnings, that would indeed be the time to do it.
