once a reverse split takes place, how long does it take for the number of shares to become the REAL number in brokerage account I ask because with normal splits it takes several days for the broker to get the documents

MPRS is keeping very quiet about sales or earnings They have 4 titles that came out this quarter. Worms 2 is in the top 10 and was in the top 5 for awhile. M1A1, Ultimate Race are in top 20 in the UK which is usually a good indicator of it's standing in the European market. Haven't seen anything about MTG: Plainswalkers but according to the number of people playing on TEN, prominent store presence, positive reviews and generally good comments I've seen posted at the MTG site I would say it's in the top 20 in North America. In my opinion, they are holding back some positive press releases (Worms 2 for sure) that they are going to use strategically, say around earnings which will show a loss for the year or after the reverse stock split. I fully expect them to make a ton of money this year if they get most of their titles out. But I don't expect the cash to start flowing until the summer when Ultimate Civ II, Falcon 4.0 and Mech Commander come out. Add these potentially excellent titles to the current line-up and the financial prospects of MPRS look quite good. MPRS, the stock with all the long term potential but some of the worst short term problems I have ever seen! Luck just doesn't seem to be on their side sometimes, such as the falling out of the GTIS deal at the worst possible time. Marc
