THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
Right.
"Out of the non-research-based prognosticators, they are the most accurate," said one tracking-firm research head. "That's because it isn't an individual guessing. It's the invisible hand of the market adjusting the number to a mass, agreed-upon number."
[SPILG] adjusts 43% down from where "the invisible hand of the market" thought it should be, and we're the most accurate prognosticators? What are the other guys doing, reading tea leaves?
The accurate call for [ETPLV] is far more the exception than the rule.
"And the people playing it all know movies, so it isn't just one person looking at secondary data."
Utter nonsense.
There are a lot of people here who know movies, and a lot of people here who think they know movies, and there are a lot of people here like me, who not only doesn't know movies, but hasn't been in a theater since "Blues Brothers 2000," (and that was because some friends were in it.) My own portfolio tells me it is more important for HSX success to have read "Extraordinary Popular Delusions And The Madness of Crowds" than it is to have read Cahiers Du Cinema, as long as you remember to short anything that depends on Matthew McConaughey.
HSX is a great deal of fun. I've joined over 12 years ago, and with a couple years off in the middle, I've been a steady player. But it's only a game folks. Somebody should have reminded Cantor of that.

I could probably give a darn good change at making money without changing current game play much, if at all. Aug 16, 07:35

'Alec Baldwin's Hollywood Stock Exchange" -- I'd never heard that tidbit before. {nm} Aug 16, 04:35
I better buy ABALD for when he jacks his own bond price up to $300... {nm} Aug 16, 05:57

Was the emploee roster really ever reduced from 5 to 1? {nm} Aug 16, 07:35
Nothing new here. Happened right around July 1st - so about 7 weeks ago. Why do you question this piece of information.. ? Aug 16, 08:14
Can't say that I have seen such posts... {nm} Aug 17, 06:48
Right. Aug 16, 09:09
Last time I tracked HSX accuracy [somewhere around 2007/2008] the market's average adjust was H$0.56 over the course of a year Aug 16, 09:17
I have a suspicion.. Aug 16, 09:29
The point is that the market, as a whole, is a pretty good indicator. Aug 16, 09:41
Whatever the motivator, it isn't creating an accurate predictor... Aug 16, 15:53
