The Weds/Friday halts were fun, BUT back in the days when there were few if any box office $ predictions. Sat. halts never made sense to me. {nm}

Frame 1:53 is from Saturday, Janaury 20, 1968. And yes, Sundays will never be the Same. {nm} Roman Polanski Dec 26, 14:23

Doesn't exactly look more accurate, either.. {nm} GAMERFund 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} diamondman56 Dec 26, 19:43

Ditto {nm} HollywoodTycoon61 Dec 27, 11:17

It's made the game BORING {nm} ndmaster Dec 26, 20:31

Yep {nm} CSBD Dec 27, 04:10

Well, I had an open mind, and gave it a few weeks Sleprock Dec 27, 04:53

the anticipation was fun, as was the possibility of swings. {nm} CSBD Dec 27, 08:12

Agreed {nm} Silent_Ben Dec 27, 21:26

Maybe we can get it changed back, if enough people agree {nm} HSXiphos Dec 27, 05:03

+1 - But I got told we'd never get enough posters to post to show that majority... {nm} TwoMisfits 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} ßionicℳoron™ Dec 27, 06:12

Boooooriiiiiiiiiiiiing............. {nm} gogreen Dec 27, 05:35

Adjusts have been pointless since they moved the halt time till Saturday nights. They should go back to halting on Friday afternoons. {nm} diamondman56 Dec 27, 05:51

This game is now boring. Friday adjust were great. Both changes (to saturday halt and this one) sucks {nm} Filmstardust Dec 27, 06:42

Plus, it seems that Movies at the theaters are dying a slow death, and that will take HSX down too. Sure not the same as the early 2000's. {nm} pennystocks2 Dec 27, 10:05

maybe it kinda seems that way, but 2016 is actually going to be the biggest $ year ever {nm} islander Dec 27, 10:12

Hopefully we'll be around to see what happens to theaters in the next 10 years or so... {nm} pennystocks2 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} Filmstardust Dec 27, 17:45

Walking away from HSX BJB Dec 27, 06:24

hate to pile on, but it's felt like the website has been dying a slow death for awhile now... lobogotti Dec 27, 07:29

agreed on most of your IM {nm} JMT-NL Dec 27, 07:59

A very well-written post, Lobo. I agree with everything you said and hope management will take your suggestions under advisement. RollingThunder Dec 27, 08:01

I too have wondered why BOT can succeed for people who love film in great dialogue, but hasn't translated lobogotti Dec 27, 08:11

There was a social function to the halt and the adjust similar to the work lobo's contests (and contest idea) have done. second gary Dec 27, 08:28

very well put gary! {nm} lobogotti Dec 27, 08:34

The single most exciting thing about box office is opening weekend. It's an unknown. shadowking Dec 27, 08:36

also well said shadow. {nm} lobogotti Dec 27, 08:54

I agree with your IM. {nm} joeoftexas Dec 27, 09:13

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. initech 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 Moviesnob Dec 27, 12:50

I'm assuming that many traders would like to start that discussion. {nm} lobogotti Dec 27, 13:03

then they should start that. Lots of smart people here so I am hopeful they can come up with ways that give HSX what it needs & keeps Moviesnob Dec 27, 13:37

I understand that there is a fine line drawn here by Cantor Fitzgerald. Antibody is the messenger. mrbinns Dec 27, 09:15

Agreed on al of it. I see muself drifting away from the game more and nore {nm} vadym Dec 27, 09:44

Agreed {nm} Silent_Ben Dec 27, 11:01

Yep, boring now. They should deregulate the whole thing... get rid of the stock limits, etc. just go for it! THXER Dec 27, 13:15

I don't trade often anymore, but I'm pretty much done. GJOSHGREEN Dec 27, 13:27

Lobo said it perfectly. I agree 100 percent. The daily enjoyment has faded for me. {nm} copadon Dec 27, 19:05
