THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
I think initially, you came on a little strong and full of declarations, making it seem like you thought you knew everything, even if that
wasn't your intention or how you actually felt. That's how I (and I assume other vets) perceived you, especially because you were trumpeting statements that we knew from experience were incorrect or based on incorrect assumptions. We probably jumped on you harshly, but I think it was one of those "proportional response" things...if a noob steps up and asks nicely, we respond nicely- if a noob steps up and booms out loud, we step up and boom right back.
Happily, you seem to be an intelligent fellow who digs movies and this game, and you've settled into the rhythm of things here. And now we're seeing the smart questions and discussions come from you on how to play certain things in the market which is great. We're here to help. But you see where I'm coming from? It's like, "shoot first, ask questions later" where you came in talking big talk when AVNGRs was coming up, but you didn't start asking the gameplay questions until now?
In this particular thread, alfpaul and I are trying to bring you around to the idea that you are operating on incorrect assumptions, and it is a continuation of your "zero sum" theory that people jumped all over you for last month. We're trying to set you on the right course so that you- 1) don't make mistakes based on that assumption and lose out on money and 2) don't accidentally misinform others on how to play the game.
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
? Jun 06, 17:56
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
*banging head on desk* {nm} Jun 06, 19:55
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
I think initially, you came on a little strong and full of declarations, making it seem like you thought you knew everything, even if that Jun 07, 09:00
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
