Playing & Trading Strategy

Never played Openers before. Please help me to make sure I get the idea -

Posted by: GuitarGenius7 on Jul 28, 09:49

Where do I find projections for performance? I have been looking at ComingSoon.net Weekend Warrior and boxofficeguru.com/weekend.htm.

Is a certain type of projection better than another or am I just supposed to read 3 of them and decide for myself?

How do I figure out how much it has to make in  order to adjust a certain way?

Is that where the "divide by 2.7" thing comes into play? If CBALN is selling for $100 a share then it needs to make $37.07MILLION in order to stay the same, higher to adjust up, lower to adjust down?

Ok, that aside, here is how I think I play:

Read the projections. Decide if $37Mill is too high for CABLN or too low.

Long/Short accodingly by a certain time on Friday.

Cash out on Monday.

 

Thanks for the help. I tried reading the first 2-3 dozen posts in this section to see if I could find what I needed but I got frustrated and I only have 20 more minutes of lunch.

More or less the right idea! Just know that the price doesn't halt until Saturday at 6pm PT and you will get cash out on Sunday midday. {nm} PRodQuanta Jul 28, 09:53

saturday?? Wait... is it OW calls and puts that halt on Friday, then? {nm} GuitarGenius7 Jul 28, 10:01

correct. {nm} perply1 Jul 28, 10:17

Is it stupid to let my WO earnings (if positive) sit till Monday or Tuesday? To hang onto them (cause I'm away)? {nm} KaylahCOV Jul 28, 09:56

There is generally a sell-off after the adjust on Sunday and many (most?) openers will drop by Monday morning. It's possible to set an MojaveMeg Jul 28, 11:05

Again, Thank You. Is there a specific time when trading is allowed on openers on Sunday? GuitarGenius7 Jul 28, 11:37

The adjust happens around mid-morning Sunday - as soon as the ERC estimates come in. The joke was always that MojaveMeg Jul 28, 12:39

a wealth of information. Thank you. This is the first time I've ever bothered to ask questions. Wish I had asked earlier. {nm} GuitarGenius7 Jul 28, 12:51

Check the Announcement Board for previous MovieStock Adjusts, which are usually between 10-11 am Pacific. Antibody Jul 28, 14:13

Yes... many times you can log in on Saturday...get the weekend #'s... and change positions if you need to before the openers halt! Flash Jul 28, 10:20

well said! And thank you for some 3rd person info that I didn't have, myself! {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 28, 11:31
