what, to make it worse? {nm} ndmaster Jan 24, 10:01

Quick question, are there any particular studios or companies that consistently never report box office to ERC? Thanks in advance. {nm} stevie1der328 Jan 23, 07:44

Yes there are. The best way to find out if a particular distributor doesn't report box office is to use the advanced search function Roger More Jan 23, 08:46

minor correction.... RazorHawk Jan 23, 12:51

Not new, just something I had never thought of before and was looking for a quick answer. Thank you both! {nm} stevie1der328 Jan 23, 13:32

typo... new player was supposed to be "newer player" {nm} RazorHawk Jan 23, 13:51

Cool. The important thing is as long as I'm around, I'll always have use for HSX Dude, so keep up the good work! {nm} stevie1der328 Jan 23, 18:57

Studios that never report box office wouldn't have a distributor listed under advance search.. {nm} Antibody Jan 23, 13:18

heh I get in with my nextbook- now to try a trade. {nm} grammar Jan 20, 22:45

Good place to find comparables for post-adjust trading jickerson Jan 16, 14:04

Box Office Mojo (BOM) has a "similiar movies" tab on most movie pages. Is this what you are looking for? You still have to do the leg work. Paul2k Jan 16, 14:25

The page im thinking of had a breakdown for each comparable of the opening weekend as a percentage of total gross (i think it was for DVNSD) {nm} jickerson Jan 16, 14:58

How can you verify that players trade only StarBonds? ;);) {nm} Antibody Jan 13, 10:33

Random drug tests? Seriously, trade history could verify. {nm} Buy BONDS 18 Jan 13, 18:31

Drug testing who? The players or the actors? :P {nm} DTravel Jan 13, 22:05

Players and league managers don't have access to trade history. {nm} Antibody Jan 15, 12:52

I meant other player's trade history. {nm} Antibody Jan 15, 12:53

Moonrise Kingdom [MNRSK] trailer out! MiyazakiFan Jan 12, 11:56

Market manipulation or praying for the destruction of the HSX virtual economy? Jeco Jan 08, 15:32

First I'm sure you mean 3B. I learned a long time ago that the general direction of most IPO;s is south, until such Buy BONDS 18 Jan 08, 16:22

^ What he said! {nm} edzep Jan 08, 16:57

I looked...it is 30M, not 30B. Not much activity in 10 years. Probably a lot of buy and hold stocks. {nm} Buy BONDS 18 Jan 08, 17:59

Drats! I'll get more in depth, but yes I meant H$30M - (Maybe I was just being an optimist) ;) {nm} Jeco Jan 08, 18:27

HSX prices IPO's as well as they can, but OriginalFund Jan 09, 20:34

To your question: Both. If a stock is moving down, some traders will short it whether that makes sense or not. {nm} JDolphin Jan 08, 17:21

I also play pretty "conventionally" by getting in on big blockbusters early. But I also play the games everyday, so I see good growth. {nm} as329105 Jan 08, 19:23

theres a lot that that. imobowel Jan 08, 20:02

Since the highest IPO price has been H$150 while MovieStocks have delisted over H$400, not every IPO is inflated. {nm} Antibody Jan 09, 10:36

Holy smokes... not trying to be rude but only $30M in 10+ years?!?! How in the world did that happen? {nm} EddieBunker Jan 09, 14:29

Lots of people (including myself) where once inactive players who became active. E.g.: PRodQuanta Jan 09, 14:46

I see. {nm} EddieBunker Jan 09, 14:59

Thanks for the reminder. {nm} ndmaster Jan 10, 12:50

Since most movies don't get made, longing everything is like betting on *all* the horses in a race to win. Not so conventional. {nm} jjmarino Jan 10, 14:29

The Devil Inside set to drop tomorrow? 121Jigowatts Jan 08, 13:53

The article in question (link inside) 121Jigowatts Jan 08, 13:53

Horror films act somewhat predictably. If you follow the trend, you should do fine. {nm} PVL Admin Jan 08, 14:53

121Jigs, you might want to rethink how you word your subject lines. Just a word of caution that what you wrote seems manipulative, even with Paul2k Jan 08, 16:59

A generalization...MOST, I say, Most stocks that adjust up, especially way up, will be sold off , especially by smaller portfolios. Buy BONDS 18 Jan 08, 19:40

I've noticed that too... 121Jigowatts Jan 09, 18:07
