useful things as scripts, directors, cast, and most importantly FINANCING are in place.  LEGND, BBUTN were penny stocks. 

The relaity is that most of the IPO;s will never see the flicker of a projector in a movie theater.  Shorting is a very vialble way to play the game.

THere was a long time player who managed a fund, and I will not embarass by naming but I am sure many will know, and the stragegy was to long, stay long, no matter what.  Not a great stragegy, even when the movie was in release. 

Also, earlier today I posted the amount of H# it would take to buy, or short, all stocks.  My non-cash holdings are worth about 2B more than that amount because of the short positions that I have not been able to reshort and turn into cash.

You can do wiith our port as you wish.  But projecting the direction of the value of a project is important.  If MOVIE IPO;s  at 20 but sinks to 5, it behooves you to be on the short side.  There is plenty of time to reverse it when the news warrants.

^ 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
