Insider Trading @ HSX....

Posted by: RazorHawk on Nov 20, 08:03 in response to hyperzeitgeist's post Read up the thread... He's manipulating...I said I'd be...

Rupert Pupkin is a longtime HSX player who is known to work in the industry, have a source for early box office numbers and has posted reliable information in the past.

It is not right for two newer players to attack him, his reputation, and/or accuse him of manipulating the game without finding our more information or perhaps consulting with veteran players who might know more about the situation.

Yes: its OW-gutcheck time again. Three shorts for me {nm} JMT-NL Nov 20, 03:56

A little early in the day, no? {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 20, 04:00

You must have missed the memo. Apparently you're not supposed to evaluate just go with your 'gut'! {nm} hyperzeitgeist Nov 20, 04:06

I think we've had this discussion a few weeks back. : ) {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 20, 04:17

Yep, I didn't agree at the time but I'll go with the flow :) {nm} hyperzeitgeist Nov 20, 04:25

No, it's after reset. {nm} Antibody Nov 20, 08:37

Long the tentpole, short the other two. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Nov 20, 04:07

Same here! {nm} slappydavid Nov 20, 04:30

Long Katniss, short the Hocus Pocus sequel and pass on the other two {nm} billy Nov 20, 04:11

Long on Hocus Pocus 2, other seem about right {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 20, 04:18

Short Hunger Games, Long Secret, no play on Night Before (looks right). {nm} RollingThunder Nov 20, 04:12

Long Julia Roberts, short, Xmas, and Katniss, and Hocus Pocus 2 has to be added to EAP God. {nm} queensguy Nov 20, 05:44

Thursday shows for Mockingjay were down significantly compared to Part 1 {nm} RupertPupkin Nov 20, 05:51

Source? {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 20, 06:00

Myself. :) Looks like it'll be down around $5 million from Part 1's Thursday {nm} RupertPupkin Nov 20, 06:09

Looks to me like you're manipulating the stock price. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Nov 20, 06:49

I think Rupert has some access to BO numbers but he's never fully explained his position in the industry. {nm} RollingThunder Nov 20, 06:53

I don't care if he's the effin oracle, it's still manipulation on what is after all a 'gut check' thread. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Nov 20, 06:55

I don't even own the stock. Just giving information RupertPupkin Nov 20, 07:05

So if I act on your 'information' I'm guilty of insider trading. Point still stands. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Nov 20, 07:08

? Insider trading isn't bad on here. What are you even talking about? {nm} RupertPupkin Nov 20, 07:10

Acting on information posted in a public forum is not insider trading. {nm} Initech Nov 20, 07:13

Then it should be. State your source... or go the whole hog and tag it. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Nov 20, 07:19

No, it shouldn't be. Posting information about box office without a source is stock manipulation, not insider trading. bennyg1985 Nov 20, 07:28

Read up the thread... He's manipulating...I said I'd be guilty of insider trading if, as he states, his info is... hyperzeitgeist Nov 20, 07:35

Insider Trading @ HSX.... RazorHawk Nov 20, 08:03

So this guy gets a free pass on relaying bogus info? I might be new but I wasn't born yesterday. hyperzeitgeist Nov 20, 08:16

Sorry wrong link... hyperzeitgeist Nov 20, 08:31

He phrased it in such way that would lead you to believe he had a some sort of source, not his own gut. It's manipulation. {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 20, 07:57

...and my source was clearly wrong. Rentrak numbers looked like $12 earlier this morning. Now they're saing 16 {nm} RupertPupkin Nov 20, 08:06

You should not refer to yourself as a source. It's misleading. {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 20, 08:15

+1 {nm} hyperzeitgeist Nov 20, 08:19

Ha. Get over it RupertPupkin Nov 20, 08:38

It's the terminology that the game uses. What else would you call it? {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 20, 08:41

HSX glossary: Manipulation (includes) misrepresentation of information to the HSX community... hyperzeitgeist Nov 20, 09:01

Rupert May have been wrong this time, but like razor said, he's been a long time reliable insider who we know doesn't manipulate {nm} islander Nov 20, 09:05

I'm shorting them all {nm} Epiphany Nov 20, 07:09
