Movies

there lies the problem. a lot of buy and hold traders look at what movies make historically in December (its eventual cash out)

and don't care to sell / short them for the opening weekend.  in the long run (4 wks) they might make good money, but for the opening weekend they will most likely loose.  case in point this weekend's releases. 

until you posted a detailed math for your guesstimated adjust price for TD and Tin, they barely budged, even though early numbers were available last night...

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

Voldemort? {nm} Paul2k Dec 22, 13:15

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

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

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
