Roy I bought THQ at $7 in late 96/ early 97 (so roughly two years ago) in that time the stock split 3 for 2 and even with todays price of 22 I am up around 400% to 500% -- I can't argue that if I had played every up and down I would have made more -- but I also can't complain about a 4 or 5 fold profit over a 24 month period and the reduced capital gains I'll pay when compared to my regular tax rate. And I agree completely that this is a stock that almost any trading style can proift in -- long term holders have done well -- day traders have done well -- and the shorts always can count on at least two or three big wins a year as well -- different trading sytles work for different people -- I'm glad you've done well -- but I'm happy with my gains as well -- and you can't fault a long for wanting to see the 30's again -- and you know as well as I do that we will -- we may just make our profits differently along the way -- but its kind of strange to question the motives or trading styles of those that have been in this for the long hold -- Trippi
