(8th place) {nm} mickpix Aug 26, 12:04

MAKE IT STOP AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE {nm} ohfirtheloveofmitt Aug 26, 12:05

Comparable to PRUSH adjustment...oh wait...no...that's right 2016 not list on HSX...anyone else noticed this... {nm} Richard In G Aug 26, 12:14

Yes we have, now stop trolling and get on with your life. {nm} stevie1der328 Aug 26, 12:28

Whats the fuss about Obamas aunt is she hot {nm} blaze223 Aug 26, 12:22

If you had mentioned the film to DMac before it opened in one theater, it would be on the exchange. I blame traders asking why it is missing Catzan Aug 26, 12:41

Again, if the movie didn't perform there would not be a word more about it than what was said in the weeks before its 7/13 premiere in TX. {nm} eallensbp Aug 26, 13:06

Plenty of stocks that don't perform or don't even report. Problem is no one knew about the film until AFTER it opened. No bonds affected Catzan Aug 26, 13:12

means it is even lower under the radar. When folks learn of a project, they should email HSX so they are at least aware of project. Catzan Aug 26, 13:13

OBEFC IPO'ed the same day that this breakout was released. Traders knew, but 2016 at that time was kind of classified as a fringe film. And, {nm} eallensbp Aug 26, 13:20

And there are two bonds affected by "..Effect". Bonds are an integral part of the game if not a part of the "prediction" half. Catzan Aug 26, 13:26

as we know, fringe films financed in the midwest don't get much attention unless they pop in the big cities (NY, LA, y'know, the usual). {nm} eallensbp Aug 26, 13:22

I agree with you Catzan, but I believe traders knew but, the perception was that it would screen and then fall off the radar as these fringe eallensbp Aug 26, 13:25

Hermano...that would say that not every small pic gets picked up on HSX. No bond implications. =) Catzan Aug 26, 13:30

Exactly, and no one is talking how there's a conspiracy against Latinos or Mexicans or somesuch ridiculousness because of that. {nm} eallensbp Aug 26, 13:45

HSX HATES LATINOS!!! {nm} dsbman Aug 26, 13:56

Well, at least until now. :D Leave it to dsbman! {nm} eallensbp Aug 26, 14:18

We demand Obama 2016 as iPo {nm} mike255 Aug 26, 13:22

This request has fallen on deaf ears. Move on or risk being banned. {nm} eallensbp Aug 26, 13:27

Well, DMac did hear the request, he replied that there was no reasonable way to price the IPO to conform to the purposes of the game. Catzan Aug 26, 13:31

10 dollars as iPo for Obama 2016 {nm} mike255 Aug 26, 13:32

Not realistic. Is that how much the movie will make? Are you sure? So, everyone saw it this weekend? Movie has already made 9m. Catzan Aug 26, 13:37

He could make BW warrant to appease whiners but this hardly classifies as a B. {nm} thatpj Aug 26, 13:38

Banned from what and by whom? Precisely where in the HSX Rules is this outlined. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Aug 26, 13:33

Here's a link to the Code of Conduct. It includes "don't post the same message repeatedly". Offenders can be scribbled, or banned outright Roger More Aug 26, 13:41

Thanks Roger. Pretty much a basic rule on any forum. {nm} eallensbp Aug 26, 13:46

"Do not post the same message repeatedly (a.k.a. spamming)." This hardly qualifies as spam. ;-) elchan Aug 26, 13:47

I'm just responding to the request for the rule to be posted - not commenting on how it's implemented. Roger More Aug 26, 14:00

There is no "Hollywood Industrial complex". Stop spreading misinformation for your own personal entertainment Moviesnob Aug 26, 14:01

I'm not American, but can you deny that most of the entertainment industry is biased towards the Democrats and against Republicans? {nm} elchan Aug 26, 14:26

thats different than implying there's some shadow relationship between hollywood's corporations and the liberal government Moviesnob Aug 26, 14:37

I must disagree. The studio system is in fact an 'industrial complex'. It churns out movies, like the military industrial complex. elchan Aug 26, 15:09

All moviegoers are Democrats? Our industry has to appeal to everyone in order to survive. The military industry need only appeal to hawks. Catzan Aug 26, 15:20

well...maybe not everyone but to a broad base. =) Catzan Aug 26, 15:21

thats barely true, and then they dont have a shared political agenda. Some studios arent even US corporations {nm} Moviesnob Aug 26, 15:24

and its certainly not a "complex" the way Eisenhower used that phrase to describe the relationship between the public and private military Moviesnob Aug 26, 15:30

"It's quite evident", he said, citing no evidence. {nm} RogerMore Aug 26, 15:29

Is this where I fall back and cry, "McCarthyism!!!" ;-) Catzan Aug 26, 15:47

When, "it's quite evident", usually not specific source is quoted, otherwise one becomes redundant. elchan Aug 26, 17:01

http://www.mediaite.com/online/celebrities-you-probably-didnt-know-are-republicans/#6 Catzan Aug 26, 17:07

Military Industrial Complex doesn't refer to individuals...the equivalent would be studios, not actors...at least to my thinking. Catzan Aug 26, 17:09

Industrial complexes are headed by their leaders. In the movie industry, actors like George Clooney would be considered a leader. {nm} elchan Aug 26, 18:09

"Quite Evident" to one person may not be so to others - that's why you explain / site sources so everyone is on the same page {nm} JDolphin Aug 26, 17:38

It's evident that Hollywood leans left. It's not evident what impact that has on American policy-making. It's not evident how that leads to RogerMore Aug 26, 19:09

This also implies that HSX has anything to do with Hollywood. {nm} Zoggie Aug 26, 16:27

Antibody has given an answer on the request. His answer should be honored. {nm} eallensbp Aug 26, 13:48

Antibody (DMac as some know him) is the moderator of the boards. He would ban someone. If he posts to stop, one should. Catzan Aug 26, 13:45

People have been banned for less. The community has been more than patient with these needless requests to IPO 2016. It will not happen. {nm} eallensbp Aug 26, 13:50

Code Of Conduct is not part of the HSX Rules - it is simply a guideline posted by an HSX member. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Aug 26, 14:24

No, but it is a basic rule. This issue has already been decided, and no amount of badgering or annoying will change it. eallensbp Aug 26, 14:39

Sure they are. Even though they are no longer published on the site, they still apply. {nm} RogerMore Aug 26, 14:59

I think any forum should have those rules. They're so common sense, kind of like saying "Please" & "Thank You" & "Excuse Me". Simple stuff. {nm} eallensbp Aug 26, 15:22
