Then there's the small matter of the massive lawsuits by all the skins. [/ QUOTE ] If Party knew they were opening themselves up to massive lawsuits by all the skins, do you really think they would have done this?

[/ QUOTE ] If Party knew they were opening themselves up to massive lawsuits by all the skins, do you really think they would have done this? [/ QUOTE ] Absolutely. This is a part of their corporate strategy, and I have to say its brilliant. I would think its safe to assume that each skin's contract is to be on the "IGM Network Shared Platform". I doubt there is anything within the contracts that state that Party must remain on the shared platform as well. This will signal handedly force one for the following to occur: 1) Skins to be forced to submit to a takeover (ala Poker Now) 2) Skins to sell user base to Party 3) Skins to leave the Party network altogether, while watching their user base jump ship to join Party This really is a win-win for Party, they just lowered the cost of acquisition greatly for themselves. Of course temporarily their user base will become smaller, but they made significantly less off the skins than they did from their primary user base anyway. TT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Well man, you're a little off on this one, first off it's going to take a while for the LSE to realize that there has been this big of drop off in players. Also pp can do some interesting reporting so no one except the serious investor/player will know what's really going on. Second shareholders/stock price is based on the P/E ratio, not how many players play on it (for the long term). For the short term stock prices are largely based on supply/demand. PP stocks will be more affected by the addition of blackjack then by the breaking up of skins. For your information if you do not currently know the P/E ratio and don't know what a usual gaming stock trades on the LSE DO NOT TRADE YOUR OWN STOCKS, buy mutual funds for the love of GOD!!!!! discliamer: (I used to daytrade stocks for a living, but DO NOT PM me for advice on stock trading, if I don't know you, I won't give you advice) [/ QUOTE ] Party sends out a press release, analysts read it, they do a quick check, see the drop in players, pass along the info. It is already known by people that follow the stock. I have no idea if it will be viewed as a positive or negative. I dont really know how this affects their current and long term profitability. But lets not pretend P/E is the only driver of stock price please. If it were that easy, we would all be rich. But I couldnt agree more with this Buy MUTUAL FUNDS unless you have a lot of experience in the financial markets.
