Movies

certainly a good call

Posted by: xiayun on Dec 22, 13:17 in response to lobogotti's post shall we go back to 6/6/11 of this year? even though I'm...

Basically any time a December film that has price over $150, it makes sense to start thinking about shorting because the upside potential is quite limited.  Films like The Hobbit 1/2 and Avatar 2/3 will be the exceptions, but I'll pay close attention to other December releases once they creep up close to that level.  December is still all about legs, especially for non-sequels.

 

shall we go back to 6/6/11 of this year? even though I'm not around much, doesn't mean I don't know my stuff. i give you TGRLW..... lobogotti Dec 22, 13:06

oh, and as of this post the stock was priced at $161 HSX {nm} lobogotti Dec 22, 13:07

I remember this. Your analysis was sound and I've held it short ever since. Good call and thanks for making me more money than U-no-who. {nm} PVL Admin Dec 22, 13:10

thanks PV. I haven't been keeping an accurate eye on all news lately, but I see many "flops" coming in 2012 that are way over-priced (imo). lobogotti Dec 22, 13:16

I agree, a few to me are almost as overpriced as Cowboys vs. Aliens was at its height (that was about 6-month before it opened) {nm} xiayun Dec 22, 13:21

;) March should be a nice month for the experienced trader. {nm} lobogotti Dec 22, 13:30

certainly a good call xiayun Dec 22, 13:17

thank you sir and yes indeed there are the exceptions. no matter how well you admire Fincher there were too many factors in play against lobogotti Dec 22, 13:19

there lies the problem. a lot of buy and hold traders look at what movies make historically in December (its eventual cash out) Oleg Max Dec 22, 13:31

I admire your ability to pick them, lobo. Thanks for the reminder :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Dec 22, 13:44

careful, you dont want to tweak an elbow patting yourself on the back :P however... islander Dec 22, 14:17

The wax statue, yes. The real thing, no. :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Dec 22, 14:18

This is why I miss the Box Office Bandit! {nm} stevie1der328 Dec 22, 17:09

A fine call. second gary Dec 22, 18:12

It's time to flip it {nm} nero5150 Dec 23, 00:45

Looking at your original thread there, lobo, it seems there's someone who really needs to go eat some humble pie... Facto Dec 23, 06:53
