How about a Celluloid Ceiling Fund?... (more) JustWondering Mar 26, 10:41

Oof. It stinks to say it but those numbers you just provided are probably why a fund like that wouldn't work. There just wouldn't be... Willroast Mar 26, 13:33

Yeah - a strange irony. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Mar 26, 13:40

I think any idea should be tried, but I also think HSX should cap all funds at 100$ or one year (whichever happens first). Just because ... {nm} WEINXFund Mar 26, 14:09

qty is low isn't a reason, just means you got to work harder. {nm} WEINXFund Mar 26, 14:12

Which -- with only 54 eligible MovieStocks -- you've been doing extremely well. Hat tip! {nm} Lionsgate Studio Fund Mar 26, 16:04

So there's a new Fund IPOing next Tuesday, SEETV, and it's pretty much the bomb. Mission statement inside... Willroast Mar 26, 06:50

So.... You wrote all that and did not once say what the actual theme and limitations of the fund ARE... {nm} Everyone Mar 26, 07:33

Ah, the mystery! Naw, I didn't think I needed to. TV is in the name. It's about actors and actresses that do both TV and movies. {nm} Willroast Mar 26, 07:43

But just for kicks...The limitations are that they need (or needed) to be featured members of their show. Main cast basically. Willroast Mar 26, 07:50

So anyone who is credited as a "Regular" on a TV show (i.e. before the "Guest Starring" listing in the credits). DTravel Mar 26, 12:49

I've been going through the (massive) list of Starbonds and looking for the ones that qualify... Willroast Mar 26, 14:29

Shoot, I'm sorry DTravel. I missed your main question kind of. It's any time in their career. The important part is "lead". {nm} Willroast Mar 26, 14:45

Is okay. But to address your longer post explaining qualifications.... DTravel Mar 26, 21:43

This is really interesting stuff DTravel (especially the neat stuff about Lost in Space). (more) Willroast Mar 26, 23:34

Another category - what about shows that are from other countries but shown in the US - such as Downton Abbery, Doctor Who {nm} JDolphin Mar 27, 15:45

Great call JDolphin. I had considered Downton Abbey as well but have not yet gotten to any of their SBs in my research. Willroast Mar 27, 19:11

Another issue to consider - do Premium Channel or Streaming/VOD series count? DTravel Mar 28, 12:51

Yes, premium and Netflix will qualify. And I won't be investing in reality show people (unless they moved on to another primetime show... Willroast Mar 28, 18:58

Amazon has also gotten into the "original streaming series" business. Couple other companies too but can't remember names ATM. {nm} DTravel Mar 29, 09:53

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!! {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Mar 26, 07:40

What a GREAT IDEA! {nm} James Crockett & Ricardo Tubbs Mar 26, 10:11

Limitations? EarlyRetirement Mar 26, 10:34

Exactly. Guidelines are, and will be, in place. I was saying that I will let people know what they are (ie. why an SB or MS qualifies). Willroast Mar 26, 14:43

"market cap and short interest"... too funny. Awards Fund Mar 24, 13:27

Awesome work. I think you're right on the money with that FAST7 prediction. {nm} Qix Mar 24, 15:33

Also, I wish LGFX could invest! Everyone else should... {nm} Lionsgate Studio Fund Mar 24, 15:42

(ugh, invest "in UNIVX" I mean) {nm} Lionsgate Studio Fund Mar 24, 15:48

Thanks LGFX. Would you believe UNIVX ranks 19 of 25 in total shareholders. You are 20. What sense does that make? {nm} Universal 100 Fund Mar 24, 16:51

For anyone not already invested: UNIVX has a very skilled manager, excellent go-forward ROI available & the H$100 delist cap doesn't apply. {nm} Lionsgate Studio Fund Mar 24, 17:37

MoviePilot: Prediction weren't that off...Insurgent 56, Do You Believe? 6, Gunman 7 aleksthegreat Mar 23, 11:59

its still pointless to look at these after actuals are coming in {nm} Moviesnob Mar 23, 12:25

Your Absolutely right, my mistake - those are the estimates still off of The-Numbers....inside Actuals aleksthegreat Mar 23, 12:39

He meant the actuals that are coming in on Friday. {nm} Antibody Mar 23, 12:51

It's pointless and misleading to say it will do better than Divergent when actual box office already says otherwise. {nm} Antibody Mar 23, 12:28

Also, publishing predictions on Friday around noon after Thu box office has been reported make it suspect for "cheating". {nm} Antibody Mar 23, 12:34

Cheating? MoviePilot is releasing these numbers not me...How is it cheating? I think I'm going 2 stop posting, these rules are too much... {nm} aleksthegreat Mar 23, 12:41

I meant MP could use Thu evening box office when coming out with their predictions. {nm} Antibody Mar 23, 12:49

Adam Sandler - & I'm not understanding how TAGs work? cgott42 Mar 22, 06:41

you are using the delist #s for you math... you need to use 'gross' {nm} RazorHawk Mar 22, 07:38

Thx - what's the difference? What does Gross represent different from Delist price {nm} cgott42 Mar 22, 10:24

The delist price is how much it earns in 4 weeks of wide release at the box office (or 12 for limited releases) eyescovered Mar 22, 11:23

thx {nm} cgott42 Mar 22, 12:01

Which {nm} DTshakes Mar 24, 09:09

Which 'gross' is the one used for purposes of TAG calculation? (nm) DTshakes Mar 24, 09:10

If a movie doesn't report box office, stars are detached from it and it doesn't affect the TAG {nm} lapuckfan Mar 22, 07:49

Gotcha - so if they report the small amount from The Cobbler hisTAG will drop, if not it'll stay up {nm} cgott42 Mar 22, 10:22

RogerMore - question... Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Mar 20, 18:28

The prediction I use from boxoffice.com is their weekend prediction, and not their long-range forecast. RogerMore Mar 22, 15:29

LRF had Cinderella $66M opening & Insurgent $53M opening - I am curious about long term accuracy {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Mar 22, 16:54

I'm away from things at the moment, but I can take another look in a week or two. {nm} RogerMore Mar 22, 20:26

I'm sitting on 100 mil in cash that I don't know what to do with. I have good long term picks. Looking for good investment suggestions. {nm} CactusLand Mar 20, 15:16

short any and all development stocks {nm} ndmaster Mar 20, 16:13

No point in shorting a 10-cent stock. The upside is to buy and hold... for the occasional, long-range, humongous gainer. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Mar 20, 16:38

There are a gazillion development films above 10 cents {nm} ndmaster Mar 20, 22:01

Right. My comment was to counter your "any and all". See? {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Mar 21, 09:15

Always Enjoy the Cash & Profits when those SHORT MovieStocks under 0.10 are Dead-Delisted. RotoHockeyYTD2013MainPort Mar 21, 16:36

I surprised myself. I own all of them between $50 and $100. ndmaster Mar 23, 18:39

So you're shorting all the Superhero stocks? and various other disney, etc. {nm} JDolphin Mar 21, 17:48

No, only ones in development. ndmaster Mar 22, 08:15

Those are in development too, so you need to add what exceptions you would have for "short any and all development stocks" {nm} JDolphin Mar 22, 12:43

Yes, there are some price parameters, but other than that, I literally short all of the MST in Development phase. ndmaster Mar 22, 15:29

What are your price parameters(generally)? How much attention do you pay to the shorted stocks? (short and forget, daytrading, or inbetwee {nm} JDolphin Mar 22, 16:49

Try this SHORT Strategy <INSIDE>. RotoHockeyYTD2013MainPort Mar 23, 10:52

I short anything above 5 bucks. ndmaster Mar 23, 18:27

Oops, they are short and forget. I cover when one of two things happens: they go under 50 cents, or there is a huge one day rally ndmaster Mar 23, 18:29

I just realized you meant development in general, not hsx development phase {nm} JDolphin Mar 22, 14:17

Kind of hard to suggest not seeing your port. EarlyRetirement Mar 20, 19:03

can you elaborate on the only using 10-20% of the stocks part please...This is interesting insight...Thnx! {nm} aleksthegreat Mar 20, 13:29

It's down to the criteria of the fund... srrichardson Mar 20, 13:43

Good post. Running a studio fund is much more challenging than I expected due to the limited number of options... Universal 100 Fund Mar 20, 13:39

THIS is why i wont take on the task of restarting the horror fund. it requires someone who knows what their doing {nm} horrorfanatic Mar 20, 14:48

But you learn by doing - I lost 2m in my first week! {nm} srrichardson Mar 20, 16:42

Thanks srrichardson as the previous mananager. I have something to add. SCIFund Mar 20, 17:49

Fund managers are HEROs in my book :) {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Mar 20, 19:13

It's not all doom and gloom though :-) srrichardson Mar 20, 22:57

It is tough to get to get started though. I've been told (and am experiencing) that very long wait times can happen when a Fund is proposed. Willroast Mar 21, 00:41

You might not get a response if Antibody doesn't like your idea srrichardson Mar 21, 01:07

Thanks for the input. I've had an idea shot down before for gimicky reasons but I think my recent one doesn't fall into that area... Willroast Mar 21, 01:24

( when I say "gimmicky reasons" I mean that my idea may have been gimmicky, not the reasons for it being shot down. Willroast Mar 21, 01:27

I heard back on OPENRFUND within a month or two. Not really that long a wait {nm} Steved1998 Mar 21, 07:21

That is true, It is certainly not gloom and doom either. I enjoy it very much. {nm} EarlyRetirement Mar 21, 05:24

I think I would be a disciplined+shrewd Fund Manager+when the time comes I will make a Proposal I have in mind 2 the almighty AnitBody! {nm} aleksthegreat Mar 21, 09:15

Question. How much are you given to manage the Fund? It's separate from your own PORT $$$ account? {nm} aleksthegreat Mar 21, 17:19

It's a separate account - you start with H$20M srrichardson Mar 22, 00:59

Thanks - So all fund start @ $20 dollars... {nm} aleksthegreat Mar 22, 09:02

Studio funds start at 10M but run for a year, regular funds start at 20M and delist at 100m - no time limit {nm} srrichardson Mar 22, 09:47

SCARF is currently murdering UNIVX. I wish I could send BORN5 and JURA4 to take him out. {nm} Universal 100 Fund Mar 20, 09:45

taking over an abandoned fund? Do you necessarily have to a port of $100M to do so if the dedication is there? aleksthegreat Mar 20, 09:33

You need to prove you are capable of reaching H$100M. Antibody Mar 20, 09:45

I'll get to $100m in due time - I'm not positive? I encourage others through competitive spirit, no? too bad you feel that way aleksthegreat Mar 20, 09:55

I don't think he was accusing you of 'not' being positive...merely saying whoever runs a fund should be a positive HSX player... {nm} Flash Mar 20, 10:00

You're a knowledgable guy but your "trying to create exictement" has been more like "trying to get a rise out of people" aka trolling. Antibody Mar 20, 10:02

I've thanked all for their guidances on here? I've made peace with the SciFi Fund? I'll try to be more diplomatic on here... {nm} aleksthegreat Mar 20, 10:08

just for my own curiosity and a desire to know exactly where i stand in the ranks....exactly how many people play HSX? for example, today im horrorfanatic Mar 19, 13:40

The big blockbuster warrants are my metric for how many more or less active traders there are. MattW Mar 19, 14:22

i,ve seen that list...its a bit difficult to find yourself on there. no matter. forward...ever forward... {nm} horrorfanatic Mar 19, 14:47

You're haven't been on it yet, but now that you're in the top 10k you'll be there from here on out. {nm} MattW Mar 19, 15:08

Do not forget about Saturday Ipo? {nm} mike255 Mar 19, 16:07

That's a good point. Biggest ones recently are Avengers 3 and Star Wars 8 MattW Mar 19, 17:36

I rarely post as I don't feel I have a lot to contribute but I do follow the forum on a daily basis. I believe the advice given by CDMV shou tallbridge Mar 20, 15:38

The appropriate Port Value League for your port size is good way to see how you measure up {nm} srrichardson Mar 20, 02:18

it seems that leagues really start when you surpass $1B...But after $100M it seems thats the magic # that accredits you as a player... {nm} aleksthegreat Mar 20, 09:28

The right league can go a long way toward getting you to $100M. PVL is a great place to start... Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Mar 20, 12:34

appreciated.... {nm} aleksthegreat Mar 20, 13:03

To answer your question Aleks.. the PVL leagues are always great, because you are competing against other ports your size. Dorfman Mar 20, 06:02

Did he reach 10k rank {nm} mike255 Mar 20, 02:00

It appears it may make more sense to build account $$$ value first and than look at leagues...THNX 4 responses... {nm} aleksthegreat Mar 20, 09:07
