Movie Fund Idea... durf Jul 31, 13:26

It's an invitation for misbehavior, and roller coaster daytrading. The influence of one Blockbuster Fund was bad enough. {nm} Antibody Jul 31, 13:30

Don't people already do this with their own portfolio(s) {nm} durf Jul 31, 13:44

Your own portfolio is private. Funds are public. {nm} Antibody Jul 31, 13:45

this is called the YTD port. at the beginning of the year players start a secondary port (or reset their current secondary port)... RazorHawk Jul 31, 13:42

This is more public and others can "bet" on the best players {nm} durf Jul 31, 13:43

By manipulation and pushing stock prices with no regards to box office. {nm} Antibody Jul 31, 13:47

? I would just buy stock in all of them and make massive money. RazorHawk Jul 31, 14:40

How about an Independent Distribution Fund, which could trade securities not covered by Studio Funds? {nm} Qix Jul 31, 16:28

Sound idea . . . could be tagged The Short Fund {nm} DTXbro Jul 31, 16:58

Heh, yep generally with those $2 IPOs. {nm} Qix Jul 31, 17:28

Like this?... RazorHawk Jul 31, 17:07

Interesting, thanks. I wasn't thinking actors, just stocks handled by companies like STX, Bleecker, Neon etc. Not enough of them, perhaps. {nm} Qix Jul 31, 17:27

that is the INDIE Fund.... independent movies.... manager went inactive years ago and nobody has expressed interest in running it {nm} RazorHawk Jul 31, 17:48

That isn't comparable with a Studio Fund, as it includes actors & directors, but hey, take your point about lack of interest. {nm} Qix Jul 31, 19:24
