Excellent if you are looking to get in a quick sell. Very up and down though. Red Alert 3 will hike the price from initial sells, however the price will fall shortly there after.

If you are going to own a video gaming software company then this is the blue chip name you should own. Video gaming is bigger than the movie business and it will continue to grow. Generations have been weened on franchises like Madden and Need For Speed, and EA will continue to prosper. This stock has suffered because there is transition underway among consoles and consumers have put off purchases. Games now sell for 50 or 60 bucks, contain advertising in them and gamers spend some 40 hours staring at these things. Hollywood has awoken to these amazing franchises and if any of them is a ta...

Naturally, the New Zealand companies that farm hoki by the metric ton weren’t pleased by the article, which pointed to “ominous signs of overfishing.” <>Time was, the subject of a critical news story could write a letter to the editor, issue a press release, maybe demand a correction.

Closing Bell: What sell-off? (AIG, ABK, EPR, MBI, JAVA, ORCL, ERTS)
Filed under: Amer Intl Group (AIG), Sun Microsystems (JAVA), Electronic Arts (ERTS), MBIA Inc (MBI)  We had another bit of data showing strong home sales in Q3, but as prices fell.

Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:
Dow 10,247.88 +20.94 (0.20%)
S&P 500 1,093.04 -0.04 (0.00%)

Electronic Arts (ERTS) issued its Q2 report yesterday after the bell. The numbers weren't too bad, but the market was not excited at all by them, probably because it knows that EA still has a lot of work to do in terms of better positioning itself for the future.<>Adjusted revenues were up a scant 2%.
