Surprising Reaction to Expected News

Posted by: jickerson on Mar 25, 20:59

I was very surprised to see how much some of the starBonds jumped that are attached to a certain movie that did very well this weekend. I study finance, and there have been papers written about how investors should only react to the unexpected portion of information being released. Granted i know not everyone plays starBonds/finds them too complicated/understands the ins and outs, but I was still a little intrigued. I don't think it was a leap to believe that hunger games would make $250 over the next 4 weeks, so there shouldn't have been a huge uptick in people longing the bonds attached.

Just an interesting, although not completely surprising, pattern. Just curious, are there any other patterns that you all have noticed that are just a bit unusual?
