Consensus Estimate from
Yahoo(Zack's?) .19

I wonder what type of impact that the
overly high expectations have had on this
stock price. It seems that if individual
investors are expecting more and get less,
they are driving the stock up, only to see
it fall after and earnings announcement. If
this continues to be the case, this stock will
continue to be a buy on the rumor, sell on the news.

Overall, I think we are in for a great year.
The conference call was very positive and upbeat.
I think we will see some earnings upgrades as
well based on Brian's comments that the
additional earnings (above the current estimates)
will carry on to the year end #s.

Rugrats!!

Sig, I've followed it for two years. It hasn't been as rapid as the momentum stocks. But, I'm patient. It's an investment. The company seems to be well managed and the numbers are there. We'll jsut have to get used to celebrating earnings three days before announcements.

If THQ did acquire that co. would the stock most likely go up?
