Why will a major/wide release drop >20% within 2-4wks of OW? I see this over & over! Then regain market value. JPS13 Jul 28, 11:10

I assume you are talking post adjust and pre delist player behavior... PVL Admin Jul 28, 11:58

Conspire? {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jul 28, 13:04

About Derivatives: what happens if i keep a security short by the time the stocks have halted? how they cash out? (cont) Filmstardust Jul 25, 10:14

Puts cash out the Monday after the opening weekend of the relevant movie, sometime after 4pm Pacific time. Roger More Jul 25, 11:03

Thanks, but i know that. What i don't know is when you have a put on short, what happens? (cont) Filmstardust Jul 25, 11:34

Yes, but it depends on whether the movie's OW makes the strike price. If it makes more than the strike price, the put will cash out at zero Roger More Jul 25, 11:55

Thanks for your time, excellent explanation. Very clear, that's what i needed to know :) {nm} Filmstardust Jul 25, 12:07

Why short a put? chorl Jul 26, 17:51

If you think it will cash out at zero. {nm} ndmaster Jul 26, 22:35

Thanks, still new here (nm) chorl Jul 27, 09:07

It is as Ndmaster says, but also, you can play with the market flow.(cont) Filmstardust Jul 27, 09:40

Penny stock strike again!! {nm} mike255 Jul 24, 10:04

Why do Movie Funds plumet after they hit $100? I thought they delisted, but instead they seem to drop then keep going. Carcharodon Jul 23, 16:17

They do delist at $100. But, since they use the same ticker symbol with each incarnartion, they appear to plummet on the graph {nm} lapuckfan Jul 23, 16:28

All theme funds IPO at H$20; Studio funds IPO at H$10 When theme funds reach the goal of 100, they delist at mrbinns Jul 24, 05:20

Opinion on "gut" instinct, # are great and u guys are pros but i seem tempted to ride it out. e.g RED2/RIPD JPS13 Jul 18, 13:00

I'm often tempted to go with my gut against the numbers, and I'm often wrong (but sometimes I'm right) ;-) srrichardson Jul 19, 01:51

Thank You Excellent Answer, seriously. helps me a great deal in my future analysis. JPS13 Jul 19, 07:05

After years of playing here, I still find that I'm correct on guessing a movie's adjust only about 55% of the time... Flash Jul 19, 08:56

Well, right 55% of the time is better than right 45% of the time. :) {nm} DTravel Jul 19, 14:07

You got THAT right! :-) {nm} Flash Jul 21, 08:57
