ERTS short @ 59.25
 

While I like some of their games (madden series are kick ass), the co, is very richly valued at these prices, competition is getting heavy , ACTI,TTWO ) . The stock has also started to languish (technically) . The overvaluation , and possible dissapointments in the near future lead to an easy (quick)10% to 20% decline in the stock

I believe co's like TTWO , and their GT auto 3 will be what will be fav in the future, i would only buy the stock ( a little overpriced, acct probs) with a good hedge --such as ERTS


ERTS = 59.25 05/09/02

confidence = 90%

Re: ERTS short @ 59.25
 

a good short term hedge (a long) is UNTD @ 9.90---unrelated business ---UNTD is in the ISP ( the old juno and netzero) ,, looks like revenues are growing,,,, fixed expenses--can make it a profitable co...
