THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
Yes, sometimes, I scare myself. Here's the logic:
1- Play 100K MADG3 long @ $1.00, cash out at $2.00, make $100K.
I'm limited to 100k shares and $100K gains.
But I have more than $100K to play, so I want to gain $100K more, but I'm limited to buying only 100K shares of MADG3.
So I notice that PROME is @$2.00, and MADG3 may cut into PROME gross down by half of the expected $2.00, so I short PROME 100K shares. I suspect the two movies' gross may be linked.
So I play my buy 100K of PROME, and then it grosses less then expect and drops to $1.00. When I cash out @$1.00, I earned another $100K.
So, I've been able to play 200K of shares on the two movies, that were dependant on each other. (same level of risk) and earned $200K instead of only $100K.
With so many billionaires, and near billionaires in this game, do little investors like myself really affect the game? {nm} Jun 06, 13:55
Yes, because billionaires cannot buy more shares of a stock than you can. {nm} Jun 06, 14:02
Yes.. But they cannot affect individual stock movement more than you.. and you play "short" OR "long" not simultaneously {nm} Jun 06, 16:47
You can play short AND long. For instance I feel that MADG3 is too low, so play long and if I feel that MADG3 will take a bite Jun 06, 17:44

Yes, sometimes, I scare myself. Here's the logic: Jun 06, 18:09
But they aren't dependent on each other like that. You're returning to your zero-sum supposition, which doesn't hold here. Jun 06, 18:23
There's definitely a correlation in gross for a weekend between the grosses of movies opening the same weekend. Jun 06, 18:34
This is true. And I would take that approach in real life, since I want to be efficient and get my job done quickly. Jun 07, 06:59
lot of jumps in logic Jun 06, 18:26
Wish it was all logic based, but we're talking consumer behaviour, and statistical analysis... Jun 06, 18:49
see, that's where you always sound like such a noob Jun 06, 19:00
But I am a noob, not trying to hide anything. What about the post-AVNGR slump? Jun 06, 19:18

Please, no need to hurt yourself over me. ;-) {nm} Jun 06, 20:10
I'd argue the point but its kind of pointless Jun 06, 23:56
Thought that was what I was doing, asking question, through out some ideas, getting responses. Jun 07, 07:58
it only happens when someone doesn't honestly have a question Jun 07, 09:55
Not to belabor a point, but stock performances are not linked in a zero sum fashion... even if you think they are. Jun 07, 10:21
I promise you that unless they inherited a port, every billionaire started off with a $2M just like you did. Jun 06, 14:04
Every investor is sacred, every investor is great Jun 06, 14:13
I know I am, but my who portfolio is probably what you would commission on a trade. ;-) {nm} Jun 06, 15:20
Must be late on my payments, my ISP is skipping words and letters. {nm} Jun 06, 15:34
That was a beautiful sentence. :) {nm} Jun 06, 17:36
Duh, henglish, I lern good time. {nm} Jun 06, 18:13
Easy for you to say. {nm} Jun 06, 17:40
