I don't think Todd sold b/c of a change in fundamentals. It was more of a market risk decision. THQI is a volatile stock with a high beta. If the market tanks, so does THQ. Very simple.

<<Cendant board, where despite massive accounting fraud, there are people posting there that "the fundamentals are still in place.">> Whenever any stock on threadland has its problems (including Chapter 11 and indictments of officers for fraud) the equivalents of the statement above abound. That's because for the vast majority of posters message boards exist not to supply objective information but to provide reassurance that they haven't made a mistake. This is why so many posters brook no disagreement. Dissent is construed as a personal attack on the ego.
