Try this again... Qestion for this weekend.

Posted by: Dorfman on Jul 20, 08:39

I'm just trying to figure out my strategy for this weekend, because i dumped pretty much every stock i had to invest in HPOT8. I like playing OW i think its a fun aspect of the game and I've always been told if your not playing OW then your losing out on a lot of easy money.

This is what I got so far...That i've bought back after HPOT tsunami

CAPAM Put 20,000 long bought at 3.24 priced now at 3.86

CAPAM Call 20,000 short bought at 2.23 now at 2.14

I have bought one each of the fwbft OW and capam OW to watch the stocks cause and i think they are almost high enough to short. Asfar as the fwbft derivatives though i just not sure that they are worth getting into. I could short the call, but it is already down to 1.75 so it wouldn't be worth much. Also the put for fwbft is already up to 3.40.. So i just don't see much to be gained there.

Also i think the regular stocks of those two movies are priced probably about right. MY thoughts were this. i've already bought 1 of each of the two regular movies stocks and watch them the rest of the week incase the price jumps one way or another and look at early estimates before the halt. I'm thinking though that if there isn't much change that i probably will just skip them this weekend and skip the fwbft derivatives due to almost nothing to be made there and use that money on the OW stocks of those two movies or on an IPO or something. Now I know its only wednesday and by friday night capam could be poised to make 70m or something like that.

My question is really, because i am still pretty new at this, do you think this is a pretty good strategy for this weekend? I'm just not seeing a lot of money to be made on the derivatives this weekend. In fact if capam Put gets much higher, it may be worth more to sell before the halt. I really appreciate any input thanks.

are you watching for news and buying on those posts? you could have made a very small fortune yesterday {nm} lobogotti Jul 20, 08:46

I made 2m on dark tower.. Though I wish i had bought JETSONS! Dangit didn't expect a jump like that from news of a script. lol {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 08:50

did you buy when it IPO'd ? {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 20, 09:00

NO i shorted Dark Towere 2 days ago when it was at 97 when news came about Universal pulling out of it {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 10:24

hahahaha. win. may I inquire what your prefered news source is for up-to-the-minute film talk? {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 21, 03:43

yesterday a port like yours should have been playing DARKN, BROSE, SLOWM & COYKP. those are low lobogotti Jul 20, 09:06

playing CAPAM.OW is a bit of a risk. at current price it would eat up all your funds for until Monday and there is a possibility you could lobogotti Jul 20, 09:20

yeah i just have it on radar just in case there is some kind of jump or fall in price. Its too "right at the money" i think right now {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 10:26

Always compare the RS vs MTC to get an early gain, unless u are really sure, calls and puts are usually long(small downright) {nm} karspov Jul 20, 08:51

I made a decent amount when they IPO'd and i bought them all long. BUt then of course I sold everything for HPOT. Cause well duh lol {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 08:52

OW are basically wildcards unless they are no brainer like OW potter,with your port size,u may invest in openers for fluidity ;) {nm} karspov Jul 20, 08:55
