Playing & Trading Strategy

I tend to pick an early number(usually a little higher than final) and and then revise as each weekend box office unfolds. My initial number

Posted by: JDolphin on Apr 10, 22:35 in response to Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin's post Gotcha - so my question is this...

is based on all the things you and RogerMore mentioned and with this many movies in the franchise you can get a good pattern. Also how frontloaded it is - the more, the bigger the drop.

I picked 360 for Fast7 which was probably too high (under the influence of that massive opening) and then do a quick glance each day to see if the stock price falls below that.  If not I don't worry about it.  Based on the projected numbers for this weekend and the 1st weeks daily numbers I'm revising my number down to 350 (based on wknd proj, 60% wknd hold and 55% wk day hold), still too high I'm sure, but until the stock drops below that I'm not going to pay worry too much. When we've got more box office you can really judge it against the previous movies and come up with a fairly accurate delist number.

And thanks for the compliment.  :)

Gotcha - so my question is this... Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 10, 18:21

There are a bunch of factors, but I think they all cancel each other out RogerMore Apr 10, 19:37

Thanks for your response, Roger More! {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 10, 20:24

Oh, I just remembered that FAST7's OW was underestimated, so the adjust was lower than it should have been RogerMore Apr 11, 09:10

So like... Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 11, 11:58
