Not looking good for the Hobbit. Tuesday number is tracking lower then the first movie at $7.8M vs $11.5M. {nm} elchan Dec 19, 13:40

Look a little closer. LOTR1's first Tuesday fell on Christmas Day, thus its outsize number compared to HOBIT. {nm} Paul2k Dec 19, 15:05

not a good comparison... everyday from 12/25-1/1 is like a Saturday box office wise... Not fair comparing LOTR's 12/25 vs HOBITs 12/18 {nm} AFRAM-The African American Fund Dec 19, 15:12

All true, but I don't think this Christmas, we will be seeing the same numbers as LOTR's numbers, given that it's a week away. {nm} elchan Dec 19, 15:25

Be sure to short it then. {nm} PVL Admin Dec 19, 18:44

Hmm, is that a "call to action"? ;-) {nm} elchan Dec 19, 21:17

It's a call to put your money where you think it belongs. Smiley face doesn't erase the comment. {nm} PVL Admin Dec 19, 23:50

This is the most fickle I've seen the market all year.... JustaGuy Dec 19, 13:15

I see your port is hurting today. You must have had an unexpected journey. {nm} Quickslver99 Dec 19, 13:52

Opening weekend securities cash out how if the movie opes on Xmas day? {nm} ajneale Dec 19, 08:59

From the security description: "Opening weekend is the first Friday to Sunday of wide release, unless otherwise defined." slappydavid Dec 19, 09:48

seems like the opening "weekend" for the three christmas movies should be tues-sun. {nm} dldove77 Dec 19, 10:18

That's almost a full week. OW, Call and Puts usually only consider fri-sun {nm} slappydavid Dec 19, 10:34

Still not sure if OW is considered Tue-Sun or Fri-Sun...will make a huge difference to pricing. {nm} ajneale Dec 19, 11:14

Since the OW page does not say differently then it is Fri-Sun {nm} JDolphin Dec 19, 12:54

did you check the calendar? {nm} RazorHawk Dec 20, 15:06

Free portfolio worth over 360 million to the first person who wants it. Sniffles Dec 18, 23:17

I've been here a year and everyone is just too uptight. Good bye everyone. {nm} Sniffles Dec 18, 23:18

I've been here 14 years, and some are uptight...but just roll with it and play the game...are you playing for others, or yourself? {nm} Flash Dec 19, 07:45

I really don't get why people feel the need to give away their ports when they leave. Just abandon it or reset it... slappydavid Dec 19, 07:01

Or is that me being too uptight? :) {nm} slappydavid Dec 19, 07:13

Why would this bother you. If it is given away, it may stay an Active Port (Inactive if abandoned or reset). {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 19, 18:17

Roto must be one of the uptight ones, since you didn't realize this post was a joke :) {nm} JDolphin Dec 19, 20:24

A wise man once said "If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem." Buy BONDS 19 Dec 20, 13:43

First, one has to define and identify the problem. {nm} DTravel Dec 20, 15:20

Why can the market settle on a direction for Hobbit? JustaGuy Dec 18, 07:29

there are thousands of traders. you cant expect every single one to hold it the exact same way. islander Dec 18, 07:34

Yes, we can expect them to. :P {nm} DTravel Dec 18, 10:37

After a stock adjusts, market forces drive the prices...people buying selling / shorting covering... Flash Dec 18, 08:02

Well, I'd say there's a third time when the price matters - when you buy/short it. :) {nm} DTravel Dec 18, 10:38

If you buy a stock the day before it opens, and I bought it 6 months ago... Flash Dec 19, 07:58

OK, I'll grow a pair...thanks! {nm} JustaGuy Dec 18, 08:31

They don't just spontaneously pop up. You have to be born with them. {nm} elchan Dec 19, 13:32

It's an unusual stock JohnTEQP Dec 18, 08:55

is your hobbit stock taking an unexpected journey? {nm} RazorHawk Dec 18, 12:00

Leading to the Desolation of his Stock. {nm} DTravel Dec 18, 12:56

the stock price was there, but now its back again? {nm} RazorHawk Dec 18, 18:57

He couldn't handle the Sting. {nm} DTravel Dec 19, 11:35

Always have 2 options, play the player and play the adjust. Personally I am playing the adjust on this one... {nm} PVL Admin Dec 18, 21:10

I think at this point it will stay down. The Monday numbers just don't show it to be on a trajectory to anywhere close to $250M in 4 weeks. elchan Dec 18, 22:42

Well I guess if you add the extra $56M that HOBIT made on it's opening weekend, it just might squeeze by with a little room to spare. {nm} elchan Dec 18, 22:50

and not all kids/families off for Xmas vacation yet, either. Lots of weekday viewing opportunities coming in the next couple weeks {nm} BSmurf Dec 19, 07:24

Sure the same scenario played for the first movie too, and it's heading the same way. We'll see if the Tues numbers track the same. {nm} elchan Dec 19, 08:19

Adjust formula for Xmas day openers? Rednax Dec 18, 01:58

Yes, that's it... {nm} slappydavid Dec 18, 04:53

Thanks {nm} Rednax Dec 18, 15:28

Cruise? Really? dirtyname Dec 14, 13:46

Welcome to Tom Cruise's world. Be grateful he's gracious enough to allow you to be a bit player in it. :P {nm} DTravel Dec 14, 14:23

FINALLY somebody gets it i have been banging on for forever about the stupidity of Cruise and his interpretation blaze223 Dec 15, 11:17

Tom Cruise is a Holywood GOD. Why do you post disparaging comments about or DEITY? {nm} elchan Dec 15, 20:01

Because he's a meglomaniac twit. {nm} DTravel Dec 16, 11:02

Hmm thats it in a nut shell {nm} blaze223 Dec 16, 11:04

And he's almost small enough to fit in one. :P {nm} DTravel Dec 19, 14:23

He would be a meglomaniac, if he wasn't really a GOD!! {nm} elchan Dec 16, 16:09

maybe that's the requirement for being a god in the church of scientology {nm} JDolphin Dec 16, 23:20

** This post has been removed by the forum moderator! ** dirtyname Dec 14, 13:43

no reason to tag the movie here {nm} lapuckfan Dec 14, 14:10

I bought every Nonioption. Do you think It is a good investment? mike255 Dec 14, 11:27

It is like going to the racetriack....it helps to be able to separate winners from losers. {nm} mrbinns Dec 14, 11:57

Just play the players and you'll do fine. You can decide near the end whether to hold 'em for adjust. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 14, 13:09

I am sorry for posting such a curt answer...here is more... Buy BONDS 19 Dec 14, 13:22

I always make a profit playing Nominoptions JohnTEQP Dec 15, 22:57

boy after one day post opening... jaymel Dec 14, 08:32

any tips NomiOption? For a newbie who are playing first time? {nm} mike255 Dec 13, 18:14

Tip #1, read forums carefully and ensure you glean all of the tips/advice possible...Tip #2, see 3 posts down. :) {nm} PVL Admin Dec 13, 18:29

Go long on slightly more than there will be actual nominations in a category JohnTEQP Dec 13, 18:36

short nominoptions that has lost at least .50 from its openibg {nm} jaymel Dec 14, 16:10

I bought every Nomioption stock!! Best actor, actress and best picture and other mike255 Dec 16, 07:13

Buy 5 in each category short the rest. Use your gut instinct to buy {nm} laujer Dec 26, 20:08

The Hobbit Coco82 Dec 13, 13:54

if you think its trading low, why would you sell? {nm} lapuckfan Dec 13, 13:58

I'm hoping people come in and buy it up en masse, because it's sent my portfolio down $500K or close to. I had this happen with The Dark Coco82 Dec 13, 14:15

You should probably hope to learn how this game works instead alfpaulytd2012 Dec 13, 14:36

The predictions are from 75-118 which equals 202-318 adjust so the current price is inbetween. {nm} JDolphin Dec 13, 15:17

Remember the old addage: PPDM. "Price paid doesn't matter" The only issue is whether you think Flash Dec 14, 07:35

has anyone figured out how to guesstimate how much of a bump 3D gives a movie?...is there a percentage that's good to use as a minimum? {nm} tealfan Dec 12, 16:29

I've slapped together another column on NominOptions, which IPO tomorrow. And there'll be a further column next week on Christmas openers, RogerMore Dec 12, 15:52

Thx. The 85th 2013 Academy Award Nominations will be announced on Jan. 10, 2013, not quite 'late January'. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 12, 22:41

Pedantic {nm} blaze223 Dec 13, 01:48

What do you have against RogerMore? No, seriously. It's not your job to be a watchdog for his blog. At least he posts useful information. eyescovered Dec 13, 03:54

Nothing - it was a correction of inaccurate information. See other Boards for other corrections. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 13, 04:14

Silly, silly Hobbit. Every year is different. Last year, they cashed out on Jan 24th. Once you get past New Years, mrbinns Dec 13, 07:09

HSX is a professional site - inaccurate information needs to be replaced with accurate information. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 13, 04:18

How is HSX a professional site? {nm} slappydavid Dec 13, 04:51

Ok let me rephrase that, HSXsanity is a fan site... {nm} slappydavid Dec 13, 05:18

Please note that he was thanked for his contribution. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 13, 04:19

Are you not able to put anything in the Additional Message field? eyescovered Dec 13, 05:00

I appreciate all the support I've gotten here, but please don't let this become the All-About-Roto board. {nm} RogerMore Dec 13, 07:18

This does not detract from the overall theme/message/quality of the article. Not worth pointing out IMHO. {nm} PVL Admin Dec 13, 18:31

Just a small comment...well written and great info for those who are not that familiar with Nominoptions.... mrbinns Dec 13, 07:01

Thanks. Updated. {nm} RogerMore Dec 13, 07:33

Somebody remind me how much spare cash we are going to need to realize the full potential of nomioptions {nm} blaze223 Dec 12, 12:20

[20 (Best Picture Nominoptions) + 7 (other categories) * 12 (nominoptions per category)] * $5 per share * 10,000 share limit = $5.2M {nm} RogerMore Dec 12, 12:29

Thanks {nm} blaze223 Dec 12, 12:30

No, thank you. I had been meaning to write a NominOptions column, and this reminded me. {nm} RogerMore Dec 12, 13:11

Three new articles at HSXsanity RogerMore Dec 12, 10:49

Nikki Math....lol {nm} RazorHawk Dec 12, 10:51

thx {nm} tealfan Dec 12, 11:14

Thanks for the info. The first link 'Openers' does not seem to work but the one on your site does work. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 12, 11:48

Great reads, keep up the good work! {nm} eyescovered Dec 12, 13:24

TV Movie JavelinTiger Dec 10, 06:51

Yes, movies that are direct to TV or Video cash out at 0... {nm} slappydavid Dec 10, 07:01

Hit H$64 mil at last... Rednax Dec 10, 01:57

Keep on keeping on and listen to the advice of all the usual suspects ie Flash,roger more etc {nm} blaze223 Dec 10, 03:10

The next few weeks should be profitable. Keep an eye on post-adjust oportunities, christmas time is a giver... {nm} slappydavid Dec 10, 05:11

Fall is a tough time for growing ports...summer and holiday times are big gainers...be sure you play holiday movies, and Flash Dec 10, 07:39

About time...past taint {nm} JustaGuy Dec 11, 10:40

About time...past that weeks ago....call me when you get to H$70m {nm} JustaGuy Dec 11, 10:42
