And indeed, he has other columns in theenCommunityServer 2.1 SP2 (Debug Build: 2.18)http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/levelup/archive/2008/06/12/law-and-short-of-it-on-the-45-day-break-for-ea-and-t2-stonewalling-the-ftc.aspx#466561Sun, 22 Jun 2008 21:26:14 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:466561onepoker<p>Very nice article thanks for your insight. &nbsp;I know the compliance issue has been resolved now but your perspective was interesting to me as a shareholder of Take Two. &nbsp;</p> <p>as for Michael Pachter I think he has worn out his welcome at the Take Two picnic he has consistently been wrong about the price of Take Two stock and his recent push for a 28 dollar price seems like he is supporting a short position to me. &nbsp;I suspect Activision and UBI are hoping the FTC torpedos the deal based on the Sports franchises and they can sneak in and grab TTWO at a deflated price. &nbsp;There is no reason for them to get in a bidding war as one of the main competitors actually the only competitor as of now may be eliminated.</p> <p>Anyway thanks for the article.</p> Blog: Level Up
