How much of an effect do movie ratings tend to have on box office now days? ballpark_frank Jan 14, 00:21

no more or less than in the past {nm} ndmaster Jan 16, 14:22

How would one Measure this Effect, if any, exclusive of all other Factors? {nm} Department of Mathematics Jan 17, 13:08

Exclusive of all other factors? Just average all wide releases with R ratings against the average for PG-13 and below, maybe? Noah66 Jan 20, 11:30

Then what? Not seeing any Tool for Decision-Making - which renders the information Pointless. Not seeing any possible Effect Measurement. {nm} Department of Mathematics Jan 20, 12:13

SCRM7's price is $77.77 (as I type this) Hee hee. DTravel Dec 29, 17:58

Probably a good thing no 12 year olds play here. If a stock were to hit $67.67 the internet would explode {nm} milligan Jan 01, 10:49

Saw a post by TWW and got me thinking of a new derivative for remakes/reboots, maybe sequels randomviolinz Dec 27, 18:48

Probably it was Antibody's post {nm} randomviolinz Dec 27, 18:50

Oops...I meant randomviolinz Dec 27, 19:49

doubtful HSX would do this. it doesn't add anything to the game or its purpose {nm} ndmaster Dec 29, 14:10

Does help the "smaller" players to make money, like it did for me in my early years {nm} 183Phi Dec 30, 15:38

What is moderate release four or twelve weeks {nm} Chuen Dec 08, 16:51

It’s a estimate of a future release less than 650 (so not HSX wide) so expected will be 12 week delist. {nm} WASunDevil Dec 08, 17:11

thanks it is a bit vague {nm} Chuen Dec 09, 17:09

not really. its not 650, so not wide. {nm} ndmaster Dec 10, 19:41

Starbonds and % Gains virtualLassy Nov 08, 01:08

Not for me...I generally don't invest in a StarBond until a film is in theaters randomviolinz Nov 08, 10:11

I won't invest unless I expect a better than 2% return (to cover commissions) but once I've invested DTravel Nov 08, 11:29

Absolutely. The future value of a Starbond is mostly deterministic, so the only motivation to sell/cover is. . . Abraxas Nov 08, 13:25

Problem is when someone has big franchise movies on the schedule, then they have a small movie get a release date sooner MattW Nov 09, 10:44

you can always review your portfolio for losers and see what is happening pretty quick ndmaster Nov 11, 09:20

No way. You can usually pretty accurately predict adjusts and timeframe and therefore your ROI ndmaster Nov 08, 16:21

Once you use Kaigee for a while, you can basically just sort the adjusts on a week to week basis Noah66 Nov 12, 11:44

Big fan of Kaigee. Thanks {nm} virtualLassy Nov 22, 02:56

Question about OCEN5 GruntNoNeck Oct 14, 11:34

the serious responses are common responses to questions like this, I mean this is asked A LOT ndmaster Oct 13, 20:24

But seriously, as everyone is saying, you just need to get more speculative on buying/shorting movies and actors. Abraxas Oct 12, 17:49

I second Abraxas' comments re Starbonds. I currently have positions on 861 Starbonds. DTravel Oct 12, 20:46

And they're mostly Shorts, even on Starbonds? {nm} virtualLassy Oct 17, 02:56

Pretty much evenly split between Long and Short. DTravel Oct 17, 18:17

Curious--do you all have a sense for what % of bond movement happens in the week before they adjust? MovesLikeWater Nov 02, 18:17

It makes sense when you have more money than things you can invest in. Before that, as you note, it's all about "daily ROI". Abraxas Nov 02, 19:21

Thank you! {nm} MovesLikeWater Nov 02, 20:46
