TMNT2 OW predicts are in the basement, but it still looks like it can clear $40M this OW. OTOH I don't think MBFYU can get more than $10M. eallensbp Jun 02, 06:55

Almost no one has said $10M OW or up for CON4R since I put my $8.5M predict for it on here. Where's the love 4 CON4R! :) {nm} eallensbp Jun 02, 06:58

Why don't you save your 'predictions' for the 'OW Gut Check' on a Friday like everyone else? {nm} hyperzeitgeist Jun 02, 07:01

+1 Excellent Idea. {nm} pennystocks2 Jun 02, 07:49

He's entitled to his opinion. H's not telling you how to trade the security. Antibody Jun 02, 07:56

Nobody tells me how to trade a security but it could mislead inexperienced players. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Jun 02, 08:01

He clearly uses "I think" "my predicts" . He talks about the box office, and not the stock price. {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 08:10

Posting numbers with no reasoning is cool around here now? shadowking Jun 02, 08:39

the more data to review why you think it will react, the better. I would offer that advice to eallen for sure. {nm} lobogotti Jun 02, 08:41

It's just ego-driven nonsense. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Jun 02, 08:53

I enjoy the research. I enjoy typing my thoughts down into words. I enjoy helping alert others to my thoughts for potential lobogotti Jun 02, 09:08

Sorry if I wasn't clear Lobo but I wasn't referring to you, I find your posts really helpful. I was commenting on shadowking's post about... hyperzeitgeist Jun 02, 09:15

no offense taken at all. I was just listing my reasoning for posts. I don't want to discourage eallen from posting lobogotti Jun 02, 09:18

Agreed. We could all just chuck out an unsupported opinion, which is why I originally suggested that eallen save it for the 'OW Gut Check'. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Jun 02, 09:25

Yes, your opinion is welcome as long as you refer to the box office, not the stock price. Antibody Jun 02, 09:32

as well as not tell people how to trade the security is LONG or SHORT. {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 09:37

Everybody is pretty much making educated guesses. Nobody knows anything. Look at BO and their "researched" prediction changes on TMNT2. {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 09:34

Yes, it's been that way for a long time. There was that conservative guy who post his predictions. That was allowed. {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 09:29

VictorY. He always said those weren't his but friends of his. sketchy {nm} Moviesnob Jun 02, 09:41

Ah yes, "Sensei." :) Who predicted number one opening films for over a thousand years. {nm} second gary Jun 02, 10:36

I've often thought that a good competition would be "pick the #1 movie every weekend of the year". Entries due Jan 1. {nm} RogerMore Jun 02, 10:45

ooooooooooo, lets do that for next year! {nm} RazorHawk Jun 02, 10:46

I wonder how many weekends would be off just due to release date changes. {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 10:48

There'd need to be a. . . well, some kind of accommodation for date changes, like when low quiz grades are tossed. But I like the conceit. {nm} second gary Jun 02, 10:55

I think the opposite - it affects everyone equally, and allowing do-overs is tough. Maybe the fix would be to run the comp every 6 months, RogerMore Jun 02, 11:00

run it Roger if DMac is cool with it! that sounds aweome. do it every six months and I'll donate $100 to the winner each time. {nm} lobogotti Jun 02, 11:03

Short answer - this will happen. I'll post on the Players Board when it's ready. Thanks for the offer of a prize but let's play this for the RogerMore Jun 02, 13:02

however you like it. thanks for running it! {nm} lobogotti Jun 02, 13:16

Could you post here, too? I don't always go to the other boards... {nm} TwoMisfits Jun 02, 14:01

I've been working on a couple doozies as of late. Been swamped with work though, so hard to stay focused. {nm} lobogotti Jun 02, 08:40

it's tough going trying to predict more than 10 days out a lot of times. so much can and does change. lobogotti Jun 02, 08:38

+1 I enjoy everyone's predictions TwoMisfits Jun 02, 12:22
