It's an invitation for misbehavior, and roller coaster daytrading. The influence of one Blockbuster Fund was bad enough.

Your own portfolio is private. Funds are public.

this is called the YTD port. at the beginning of the year players start a secondary port (or reset their current secondary port)...

This is more public and others can "bet" on the best players

By manipulation and pushing stock prices with no regards to box office.

Interesting, thanks. I wasn't thinking actors, just stocks handled by companies like STX, Bleecker, Neon etc. Not enough of them, perhaps.

That isn't comparable with a Studio Fund, as it includes actors & directors, but hey, take your point about lack of interest.
