HOLLYWOOD STOCK EXCHANGE
THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
There was a social function to the halt and the adjust similar to the work lobo's contests (and contest idea) have done.
That is, the halt and the adjust caused traders to gather online at the same time. It's the enactment or the performance of the community, and when that is dismantled, well... the urgency to gather disperses. I think people gather at BOT to wait for news from Asgard on Fridays. And the reason to gather here is... Bueller?
Even when I've not traded that much, I'd always made a point of dealing with halts and adjusts and OWs, and these habits in turn led me to deal with IPOs. The halt and the adjust had an anchoring, socially-generative function, and now I have a coach seat in Whatever Airlines.
How I feel about the new rulles Dec 26, 12:18
Frame 1:53 is from Saturday, Janaury 20, 1968. And yes, Sundays will never be the Same. {nm} Dec 26, 14:23
Doesn't exactly look more accurate, either.. {nm} Dec 26, 18:48
I'm just not sure what to do with some movie stocks anymore... just feel like I'm riding things up and down. {nm} Dec 26, 19:43
Ditto {nm} Dec 27, 11:17
It's made the game BORING {nm} Dec 26, 20:31
+1 {nm} Dec 27, 02:58
Yep {nm} Dec 27, 04:10
Well, I had an open mind, and gave it a few weeks Dec 27, 04:53
the anticipation was fun, as was the possibility of swings. {nm} Dec 27, 08:12
Agreed {nm} Dec 27, 21:26
Maybe we can get it changed back, if enough people agree {nm} Dec 27, 05:03
+1 - But I got told we'd never get enough posters to post to show that majority... {nm} Dec 27, 06:01
All it's going to take is one person to agree, and I don't get the impression any arguement is going to change his mind {nm} Dec 27, 06:12
Boooooriiiiiiiiiiiiing............. {nm} Dec 27, 05:35
This game is now boring. Friday adjust were great. Both changes (to saturday halt and this one) sucks {nm} Dec 27, 06:42
maybe it kinda seems that way, but 2016 is actually going to be the biggest $ year ever {nm} Dec 27, 10:12
Hopefully we'll be around to see what happens to theaters in the next 10 years or so... {nm} Dec 27, 15:45
I just hope/wish "they" notice the suckness and bring the Halt back to Friday or earlier, which would be even better {nm} Dec 27, 17:45
Walking away from HSX Dec 27, 06:24
hate to pile on, but it's felt like the website has been dying a slow death for awhile now... Dec 27, 07:29
agreed on most of your IM {nm} Dec 27, 07:59
I too have wondered why BOT can succeed for people who love film in great dialogue, but hasn't translated Dec 27, 08:11

very well put gary! {nm} Dec 27, 08:34
The single most exciting thing about box office is opening weekend. It's an unknown. Dec 27, 08:36
also well said shadow. {nm} Dec 27, 08:54
I agree with your IM. {nm} Dec 27, 09:13
+1 {nm} Dec 27, 09:47
The most direct comment I can make is that I don't even come to the site every day any more and it doesn't bother me. Dec 27, 10:00
it seems to me that what people want out of HSX and what HSX needs out of HSX are two different things Dec 27, 12:50
I'm assuming that many traders would like to start that discussion. {nm} Dec 27, 13:03
I understand that there is a fine line drawn here by Cantor Fitzgerald. Antibody is the messenger. Dec 27, 09:15
Agreed on al of it. I see muself drifting away from the game more and nore {nm} Dec 27, 09:44
Agreed {nm} Dec 27, 11:01
Yep, boring now. They should deregulate the whole thing... get rid of the stock limits, etc. just go for it! Dec 27, 13:15
I don't trade often anymore, but I'm pretty much done. Dec 27, 13:27
Lobo said it perfectly. I agree 100 percent. The daily enjoyment has faded for me. {nm} Dec 27, 19:05
