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

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

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

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

Oh, woe! I lost some of my Penny Pets today. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 07, 11:26

I lost Sammy Davis and Kirk Franklin {nm} AFRAM-The African American Fund Dec 07, 12:18

I owned all of them in my penny port. Guess that's why it is down... {nm} ndmaster Dec 07, 12:38

Not sure how much the values were this AM, but my port gained over 5M in cash from the 25 delists. Largest was TFNKC with mrbinns Dec 07, 20:24

Analysis of a long term winner for an uber port... mrbinns Dec 07, 20:35

Yuck I lost my penny stock. {nm} mike255 Dec 08, 06:32

Cracked both the 97th percentile and the top 5,000 yesterday. Yay me! :) {nm} DTravel Dec 06, 13:22

grats! perply1 Dec 06, 13:25

Well done! I should reach the top 1000 in a few days! {nm} slappydavid Dec 06, 14:39

Well on your way now. Good job! {nm} PVL Admin Dec 06, 14:53

Nicely done. Looking forward to seeing you join the 500 MILL Club soon. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 06, 18:25

congrats! {nm} tealfan Dec 06, 20:06

Well done therei am only a 150 spots behind {nm} blaze223 Dec 07, 01:52

Well done {nm} srrichardson Dec 07, 03:12

they say the first 97th percentile is the hardest {nm} RazorHawk Dec 07, 11:06

I think we should try to recruit Nate Silver to help out Kaigee. JohnTEQP Dec 05, 19:29

I'm game. Although, I probably can't afford him, and he probably can't program. {nm} KaiGee Dec 05, 22:15

Do what you can, accept our thanks for it, don't sweat any of it. {nm} DTXbro Dec 06, 06:42

I concur, it's not an easy thing that the Kaigee site does. I'm writing my own spread sheet to do the same thing, and know first hand. {nm} elchan Dec 10, 14:25

Question about ABE.BW - 12 weeks from limited release, or 12 weeks from wide release? shwuck Dec 05, 08:56

What is Lincoln's release date listed on the movie stock page? RazorHawk Dec 05, 10:57

11/9 - Limited, 11/16 - Wide as posted on the stock page {nm} shwuck Dec 05, 11:53

Sorry, I meant to say - both are listed, thus the confusion. Either could be a correct interpretation {nm} shwuck Dec 05, 11:56

that is your problem... when I look at the stock page it says " Release Date: Nov 16, 2012" RazorHawk Dec 05, 13:52

The BW says " is set for 12 weekends of box office. " No mention of Release Date. {nm} Antibody Dec 05, 14:38

That's a good question. First 12 weekends means from limited release. Arguments could be made both ways, but I'm inclined to keep it Antibody Dec 05, 14:38

Thank you for your response - I learned something new. You can scrub my response below then. {nm} JDolphin Dec 05, 21:08

2 examples from the past that would haver required use of Wide Release date, if the current system were in effect..CHCGO and MBFGW mrbinns Dec 05, 21:48

Yeah, you're right about MISS4.BW. Ok, I'm updating the description to 12 weekends of wide release. Antibody Dec 06, 15:41

Outstanding analysis. Well done. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 09, 13:13

until AB chimes in, I would say 12 weeks from the IPO date on the BW's page...not the movie stock page {nm} tealfan Dec 05, 12:26

That won't work, BWs aren't even IPO'd until after the movie has opened. {nm} DTravel Dec 05, 12:47

ah...that's right {nm} tealfan Dec 05, 13:32

this post made me nostalgic about our old friend ABBond :( I miss him and his site {nm} daveart Dec 06, 10:25

When a limited film then is released Wide, the official HSX release date is the Wide release date. Thus, ABE.BW will delist after 12 weeks BUY BONDS 19 Dec 05, 13:11

NB to Antibody...You may want to consider changing the standard wording on the definition of a .BW to include the words BUY BONDS 19 Dec 05, 13:15

The definition says " is set for 12 weekends of box office. " No mention of Release Date. {nm} Antibody Dec 05, 14:39

Feb 4 2014? {nm} DTravel Dec 05, 14:17

Use the same date used to calculate delist date, so if in doubt just add 8 weeks to the delist date {nm} JDolphin Dec 05, 14:05

Note to WBROX....a certain tent-pole from Warner Brothers is opening next week. Sitting this one out? {nm} mrbinns Dec 05, 07:00

looks like wb has all its money tied up in too many stocks going nowhere (imho) islander Dec 05, 07:44

As they tell us at our Regal Cinema, GO BIG or Go Home. {nm} BUY BONDS 19 Dec 05, 13:17

*goes home* {nm} DTravel Dec 05, 14:17

Is WBROX even being actively run? {nm} DTravel Dec 05, 11:14

last trade was yesterday, so still active {nm} lapuckfan Dec 05, 11:57

any way to view other's portfolios? Debu_Maguro Dec 03, 22:10

nah...for the same reason people can't come on here and say what they're trading...don't want a snowball effect to happen {nm} tealfan Dec 03, 22:29

Sure - come to Saskatoon - I'll buy coffee and we can compare notes. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 03, 23:04

Your best bet is to keep an eye on the forums, as people usually give lots of advice, for example check a couple of posts down... slappydavid Dec 04, 05:11

Click on the MovieFunds to see their Portfolios. There may be some ideas there. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 04, 14:32
