THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
What difference does it make? When the movie is closer to release, it will move according to projections. These fluctuations are meaningless
as the market will adjust them in the end. Why worry about minor market fluctuations? If something skied up $20...ok, maybe that is skewing things. Day traders are going to impact things unless the market is frozen ALL the time. Some traders are making a quick fake dollar playing movement at reset. There is an advantage for those that are awake at that time. I was awake last night but didn't bother with reset and am down 1m...I am not gonna worry about it. It is an advantage to making fake dollars. Some people have advantages knowing information about the movies in advance...be it yourself...movie theater managers like me...etc...there is all sorts of info out there that impacts stocks. One of the bits in that equation is movement at reset. It is part of the game and not important enough to stamp out. As ndmaster says...when do you unfreeze the market? When does that first movement get to hit and then day traders react? It isn't that big a deal. How is that windmill treating ya? =P
Question about LBSLD Mar 24, 10:21
I'm sorry but you're trying to use "logic" to figure out something that's illogical. Mar 24, 10:24
Only shares traded today affect the price, not shares held yesterday. Just like the real world, secrestalker. {nm} Mar 24, 10:25
Those trades are just happening because the stock moved a tick up at reset. Does the real stock market behave that way, too? Mar 24, 10:31
that horse you're beating is dead {nm} Mar 24, 10:32
I think I saw it moved so I better make sure! :) {nm} Mar 24, 10:34
They shoot horses, don't they? {nm} Mar 24, 10:44
Mmmm....horsemeat and velveeta sandwiches.... {nm} Mar 24, 10:49
LOL...trying to figure out which is worse...velveeta or horsemeat... {nm} Mar 24, 10:56
velveeta {nm} Mar 24, 11:01
Yes. It's called daytrading. The first trade also ticks the price in the real world. {nm} Mar 24, 10:35
But you have created a system that allows easier market manipulation by those who are prone to do it anyway Mar 24, 10:38
so, if the first trade doesn't move the price, which one should? Mar 24, 10:40
Volatility should be set based on the stock's price, just as it was before. Mar 24, 10:49
(And believe me, I have far better things to be doing with my time than repeatedly pointing out what should be obvious.) Mar 24, 10:53
There is difference in volatility based on the stock's price. {nm} Mar 24, 10:53
What difference does it make? When the movie is closer to release, it will move according to projections. These fluctuations are meaningless Mar 24, 10:55
A $2 stock going up more than twice its original price after dropping 65 cents in its first day is not "minor" {nm} Mar 24, 10:59
Secret is making a fair point Mar 24, 11:13
Catzan makes a good point too Mar 24, 11:44
Honestly, not complaining Mar 24, 12:26
