until THQ has a stable of stable revenue streams, moves beyond the controversy and instability of its wrestling source, and achieves a certain size, it will not command respect by wall street with a competitive PE ratio that day of steady stream, stable wrestling, and size is coming soon ... comparisons to ERTS and EIDSY will appear out of kilter soon my guess is THQ price needs to build a base in upper 20's, experience some new buyers, cull some shorterm players who entered at 20-23, work at it for a week, and then catapult the pillars of the Bastille STORM THE BASTILLE !!! / JW

Bleeker, Points well made on the eidos and erts front. However, THQ may write off the whole shebang this quarter and thus have negative earnings after the charge. Secondly, I don't know where the analysts get the industry average of 22. It definitely is not 22. Activision: 33 Electronic Arts: 41 GT Interactive: - Acclaim: - THQ Inc: 14 Eidos: 25 3DO: 4 Microprose: - Interplay: - Take Two: - Midway: 11.5 I know I am missing some companies but that's a PE of 11.6 over this average. Even if you added three companies to this list with a PE of 40, the average would still be 18. So, I'd take that industry average of 22 with a grain of salt. - Vic
