IPO Thoughts: The Academy Awards Fund III (AWARD) RazorHawk Feb 10, 06:51

In general... How accurate is the Weekend Warrior with thier predictions? {nm} confusedman Feb 09, 22:00

As a very in-depth look at films, his column is Excellent, but the actual predictions have just been so-so. islander Feb 10, 00:21

With anyone who predicts box office, there are uncanny accuracies and bizarre misses. You could chart all of the predictions to come up with Catzan Feb 11, 02:57

Question: How do movie funds work and what determines the price specifically Studios so how do you know if it's a good buy or short? {nm} Smallville944 Feb 08, 23:26

Security Has Gone Up, But I Cant Sell It, What Happens? {nm} MitchC Feb 07, 13:10

Which 'security' are you talking about? An opener (they can be sold AFTER adjusts happen) or some other stock?? {nm} Flash Feb 07, 13:39

Dear John MitchC Feb 08, 06:14

You can't sell while its halted, but it should have been made active yesterday around 11am PST {nm} lapuckfan Feb 08, 07:17

In the future....ALL openers cannot be bought or sold until they adjust on a 'normal' Sunday adjust. AFTER they adjust... Flash Feb 08, 07:42

Stupid Newbie Question Alert: Any Studio Funds I've Seen: None of them have any star bonds. confusedman Feb 06, 20:50
