Playing & Trading Strategy

With a port your size, you should be maxxing out (100K shares) of some of the opening movies...

If you hit them right, you make a LOT of money, rather than just a little, if you only hold 10,000 shares.

I always maxxed out on opening movies I played when my port was small.  There was nothing more frustrating to me that to know I could've made $2M on an adjust if I had maxxed, vs. only making a few hundred thousand.

You may be maxxing out now, but your post says you hold 10 movies with 10,000 shares, so I wasn't sure if you play openers AND max out on them or not.  But be aware, if you max out and guess an opener wrong, it will cost you too... but low risk = low gain on movie stocks...

You've had some good tips to answer your question...this is my suggestion - max out (if you're not now) on opening movies...AND play openers every week.
