Playing & Trading Strategy

DISNX performance is VERY disappointing, I'm no one to criticize others' playing style, but with so many big movies

Posted by: slappydavid on Aug 21, 06:59 in response to stevie1der328 (Foxxfund)'s post I've always thought Disney could do some damage in the...

it had the potential to do as good or even better than FOXX or WBROX, at least to top SONYX..

And don't get me started about SUMMX. Hopefully next time around they join SUMMX/LGFX, that would be sweet (with Twilight AND Hunger Games).

Managing LGFX has been fun and frustrating at the same time. Hopefully TPOSN can bring me up to 50, and to pass UNIVX, that would be a big victory for me, #4 studio fund. I've tripled what the previous manager did, so I'm pleased either way. It's been a great learning experience for me...

Well I reach a major milestone, $100M. Might not last the night, but should be solidified tomorrow, when the weekend delists occur. {nm} elchan Aug 19, 20:40

Congratulations! ($3M, $100M and $1B are the only real $ milestones IMO) RogerMore Aug 19, 20:54

$-100M is a rather significant Milestone, IMHO. Very few have accomplished that. Harder than one thinks. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Aug 20, 05:44

Sure - but it's like 10 billion. 99.99% of people don't achieve it. Those three are within reach of almost everyone, if they apply themself {nm} RogerMore Aug 20, 12:17

-$100M. Hmmm... might be a fun counter-intuitive game to try. ;-) {nm} rayw Aug 21, 07:15

That's a good rule. {nm} JohnTEQP Aug 20, 19:14

Well done! {nm} slappydavid Aug 19, 21:04

Very Well Done.I Hope You Will Cross More Milestones. :) Hsxman Aug 19, 21:28

pretty number!...congrats! {nm} tealfan Aug 19, 22:48

Very nice trading, fwiw I think you would do a great job managing a studio fund this fall, if you were interested. {nm} stevie1der328 Aug 20, 04:53

What studios are left? Can I still choose my own? {nm} elchan Aug 20, 05:58

Here's a link that might help you... slappydavid Aug 20, 06:04

Agreed! The new batch should come up in a month or so, it's a great time to apply... {nm} slappydavid Aug 20, 05:58

Thanks for the tip, I'll do some number crunching and see if I can pick a promising studio for the year. {nm} elchan Aug 20, 07:43

I've always thought Disney could do some damage in the right hands. It's returns over the past couple years have been disappointing. {nm} stevie1der328 (Foxxfund) Aug 21, 05:46

For research, I suggest looking at the various studios each fund can trade in, then use Advanced Search: Active Moviestocks: Distributor stevie1der328 (Foxxfund) Aug 21, 06:10

Yeah, I asked Dmac for either Disney or Fox because I knew they were potential juggernauts. I wish you had gotten SUMMX as well. {nm} stevie1der328 Aug 21, 07:28

Maybe that was my mistake, I didn't ask for any studio in particular. At the time I was happy just to get a fund, any fund... :) {nm} slappydavid Aug 21, 07:52

Sounds like Disney is going to be a rough ride the next 3 years, see my post above. If I had a choice, I'd ask for Weinstein Co. {nm} elchan Aug 21, 07:54

Weinstein doesn't have that many releases. You'd be able to play DJANG... and that's probably about it for movies priced above $20. {nm} RogerMore Aug 21, 08:30

(looking at actual prices, this is incorrect - but I'd definitely prefer the fund that can invest in three or four summer tentpoles) {nm} RogerMore Aug 21, 08:35

I crunched some number in Excel using the distributor information and got the following. Hope it paste ok. {nm} elchan Aug 21, 07:37

Mazel tov! :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 20, 07:53
