First, thanks for posting the press releases. Second, THQ was breaking to new highs near mid-March when the WCW bombshell dropped. Poor Haines was stuck doing a Dueling Fools column for the Motley Fool that week on THQ. The day it ran one press release wiped out half his argument. The only real trend that I'd noticed over the last 20 months is a new high each quarter, give or take a few weeks. The stock always comes back. Big pocket shorts sure do know when to press their bets on THQ, however. I'm not so sure it is short-sighted investors as much as not enough new longs to overcome big money games. Also, the internets are running again. THQ isn't the trading vehicle it was in 1997 and 1998. OT--Can't believe how the PC sector is getting whomped today. AAPL is getting pretty interesting at these levels if one believes, as I do, that sales are good and that Apple is at least partially immune from short-term pc trends. It's in its own niche, in a sense. Marc
