Long On a Call & Short On a Put Taopuppy Mar 29, 15:51

Greater potential profit but also greater risk. How sure are you the movie will make its strike price? DTravel Mar 29, 17:33

This is an opinion survey disguised as a game. Puts and calls are a chance to go with your gut…… mrbinns Mar 29, 19:49

Question about it... Utech Mar 26, 18:13

From my. observations of {nm} Patient Player Mar 27, 08:53

... linear proportionality may change at higher prices {nm} Patient Player Mar 27, 09:20

... HSX stock price movements, it seems that SIV is roughly proportional to the stock's price, but Patient Player Mar 27, 09:03

Correction: LMV is globally the same for all, but may be adjustable {nm} Patient Player Mar 27, 09:28

SIV is proportional to the stock price, but how do you think it is calculated? This is what got me stumped lol {nm} Utech Mar 27, 15:36

Look up computer programming examples of nested IF...THEN or CASE statements. (nm) Patient Player Mar 29, 20:12

Yep, I am more than familiar with IF/ELSE and Case Statements. But still, outside of programming, how do you think the SIV is calculated? Utech Apr 02, 14:54

However, I've seen many more transactions at low prices than at high.ones {nm} Patient Player Mar 27, 09:16

Apologies for the gender confusion. And I wasn't paying close attention to how close I was to passing you before it happened. {nm} DTravel Feb 20, 08:46

Didn't we just send congrats to you for 8 big "B's" recently? OK, why not..kudos to passing another on the list! :p {nm} Flash Feb 20, 13:35

General thoughts on 2022 MattW Jan 13, 20:09

Update MattW Mar 27, 17:28

April coming in right at 550, 67% MattW Apr 27, 18:16

May looks like about 755 total, about 75% of the 2016-2019 mean MattW May 27, 14:50

A lot changed in the last few days, May 785 is 77% of 2012-2019 avg, 80% of 2016-2019 avg MattW Jun 02, 11:11

June comes in at 980 or so, 85% of the average. MattW Jun 28, 23:10

I was way off on July, mostly Minions but somewhat better from holdovers as well. Should be 1125 or so, about 90% of the average. MattW Jul 28, 14:01

August looks like it'll end up with about 180 from new releases, 285 from holdovers. {nm} MattW Aug 30, 18:51

192 Aug releases, 275 holdovers {nm} MattW Sep 06, 20:14

August ~475m, Sept <300m, Oct 400-500m {nm} MattW Aug 18, 08:47

Sept thinking 300-325 now, October 475-575 {nm} MattW Sep 07, 14:59

~330 {nm} MattW Sep 24, 17:22

319, a few movies disappointed more than I was thinking at the end there {nm} MattW Oct 05, 14:50

Oct looks like it's gonna come in right at 450. Nov in the 700-750 range. MattW Oct 24, 22:54

Nov still think about 700 {nm} MattW Nov 11, 22:33

Yikes, way overestimated Thanksgiving, the month should be right about 605-610 {nm} MattW Nov 26, 15:33

December here we come {nm} MattW Nov 26, 15:34

$850m MattW Dec 01, 10:19

Overestimated all december releases by quite a bit. Will be around $660-670m {nm} MattW Dec 30, 19:07

The year as a whole will be about $7355m, 64.4% of the 2016-2019 yearly average. {nm} MattW Dec 30, 19:11

2024 predictions month by month MattW Mar 25, 16:26

Geez, already too low for march, gonna be like 750m {nm} MattW Mar 30, 09:59

April now looks like it'll end up around 450. May right now to me looks like under 600 MattW Apr 21, 15:17

May 575? MattW May 23, 17:55

May ended up 550. June 700. MattW Jun 05, 16:46

June 780 MattW Jun 11, 14:20

Or 880 with IO2 blowing up... {nm} MattW Jun 14, 20:15

950-975? Could very well match 2022 at this point. Very surprising {nm} MattW Jun 22, 08:54

Are you in the habit of selling your short when it reaches .01? Or do you let it sit? What's the point; it's made its max value. goodvibe61 Dec 31, 19:39

PS: As an example, I currently have over a dozen movies that I'd shorted that are currently at .01 that i have not covered. Waiting 4 delist {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 31, 19:41

You can COVER a SHORT but you can't SELL a SHORT. COVER & RE-SHORT was a Vital Tactic when a Small Port picking up Valuable CASH. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 01, 00:27

Yeah, I meant cover. Yes, back when i needed the cash I would cover and re-short. Haven't done it in a long time. {nm} goodvibe61 Jan 01, 01:09

I cover the short and move on...even though it may be at .01, there's a possibility it could go back up in price... {nm} Flash Jan 01, 08:51

I usually hold, wait for delist to skirt commission. Pretty rare anything goes back up high enough from .01 to make cover/re-short worth it {nm} Noah66 Jan 04, 08:08

SSPEE adjusted to .01..... {nm} StarBondFund Jan 06, 05:28
