4 tips for you

Posted by: JonH86 (a.k.a DASavage) on Feb 08, 18:44 in response to Steved1998's post Any tips for those of us with smaller ports? I've been...

1. Starbonds. Check out all the upcoming blockbusters via the release schedule tab. Look for attached stars trading for super cheap because they were recently in independent films. Some you will have to wait 1-2 years on but you can 5x+ your investment. Check back from time to time because small stars get added all the way up to release.

On the flipside, look for stars trading at 200+. The only way to go from there is down. It will happen fairly soon for actors wrapping up a trilogy/series

2. Short term tip. Check out the oscars derivs.

Let's say five nominations... one cashes for 25. Add up totals of everything in the category. If you get a number like 33, short everything and you will profit. If you get a number like 16, long everything and you will profit. Delist in 3 weeks so pretty fast cash that is risk free.

3. Check holiday warrant derivs. Sometimes box office sales will break through their trading price and a movie with $100 mil over strike price will only be trading at 60 mil over strike.

4. Max out on every fund. ALL of them. They will all outperform you.

That's all I got for now. Hopefully at least one is news to you and makes you some bank.

2 of the funds have been going backward for a while. I think a couple more were doing poorly, but are under new management. edzep Feb 08, 20:36
