There's not many ways to make $ faster

than to pick opening movies correctly. Yes, it's hard to do consistently, but if you play openers each week, you stand the chance of making $1M or more (depending on the movie and the weekend, of course) in a couple days - it's hard to make that much money in such a short time playing other ways here.

Yes, it's risky sometimes if you pick'em wrong, but no/low risk = no/low gain. Bonds offer a good way to earn sure $ if you know how they adjust...pick the ones with the highest % gain in the shortest time too.

When my port was small, I tried to play openers every week, and bought as much of the one I thought would be the biggest winner (in those days, we could NOT short any stock!) and play that one. You can make just as much $$ playing a smaller movie that only costs $20/share if it goes up 5 points, as you can with a blockbuster that costs $75 and only goes up (or down) 5 points....so pick an opener you think will be the best chance of earning you the most with the least investment.

Other than that...daytrading is good, if you can stand the roller coaster ride on stocks. Sometimes penny stocks may make you some quick cash too, but they are tricky as well.

Good luck!

before the end of commish free, look for starbond deals, funds that got the openers right, and arb/bra movies {nm} islander Aug 06, 07:33

Find out where to get the news!!!!!! kurtk Aug 06, 11:30

Daytrade news stocks. Play the calendar. Play the openers. Play the derivatives. Play Star Bonds on Mondays and then post adjust. Know the Catzan Aug 06, 14:43

I almost forgot...play the percentage gain not the $ amount. Once you are above 2%, it is gravy. And while 100% gain may be a sexy Catzan Aug 06, 15:00

Invest in low dollar value stocks that are bound to go up in value. Eg: 2.00 - 5.00 and let it grow. dc82 Aug 07, 03:17

Buy Robbie Coltrane. He's going to adjust over 100m on Tuesday and then sell when he adjusts. Mattrek Aug 07, 23:53

How do you know this?? {nm} dc82 Aug 08, 04:00

I know this, because good ol' Robbie will be adjusted for Harry Potter on Tuesday. {nm} Mattrek Aug 08, 16:47
