I will provide a brief recap with more tomorrow. Bottom Line: THQ is in the best shape they have ever been in and they are becoming a player in the industry. Anyone notice these 5 year deals THQ is securing. oops, 10years with WWF. 1) Ricky Carmichael MotoCross is a very good game and I had fun playing this 50% completed version. I played a Motocross from EA and I thought THQ was better. 2) Pacific Power and Light acquistion was GREAT NEWS. You need to spend money to make money. ( in this case payment in stock options). Trager is well respected, started EA sports and their Road Rash and Nuclear Stike that they are developing for THQ are getting very good reviews. THQ scooped EA on these guys. EA thought that they could buy Trager whenever they wanted to based on their past relationship. too bad EA and BRAVO for THQ. THQ did not have a huge booth compared to some of the other players in the business. I have been a part of tradeshows and a bigger booth does not assist in booking larger orders with retailers. Retailers want marketing programs. THQ's booth was placed in front of Playstation and Ninetendo. You could not miss it. The THQ party was at the Park Place and was larger than ever. There were at least twice as many people as the previous year. Homiev, Radillo, Trippi and myself hung out together. If you own THQ, I would not worry to much about the day to day up and downs in the stock price. THQ can't control this. In my opinion, they are firing on all cylinders. THQ will continue to appreciate. Wildman262
