Lower capital investment....risk increases

If a movie bombs/does well, you can reposition your moviestock position till Saturday night and have more "information" on how it will adjust. Even if you're initial guess is wrong, you don't necessarily have to take a loss.

OW is set in stone Friday with no BO data. And if you are wrong here, you definitely take the loss.

No data = greater risk than some data.

I'm probably about to find out, but: OW is not a write off (like Call/put) if BO doesn't make it? it's just a loss of the difference? {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 30, 13:28

.OW cashes out at whatever the box office was, so it is a much lower risk way for players with smaller ports to get in on big productions. {nm} arf Apr 30, 13:55

True, but if .OW halted at the same time the stock did, it would nearly guarantee gains each week. {nm} arf Apr 30, 14:17

Don't get the point and its moot anyway b/c they don't halt at the same time alfpaulytd2012 Apr 30, 14:29

Correct....if you're wrong, you don't lose everything {nm} alfpaulytd2012 Apr 30, 14:15
