Raising Helen is 7 million in two days, you mean it wont make more than 4 in two more days even with the % drop from sunday and who knows exactly how monday will bring in.

I am hoping I can get to the 4 mil mark with this adjust. It will be close. I hope TOMOR hit it big on monday.

Yup. everyone is jumping on it even at its high price now. Good thing I jumped on it early.
Those Warrents have been great to me. daily value keeps me slowly moving along when everything else is slow.

Turned out I only lost $300K, which is great, considering I was thinking it would be a million. In one of the earlier threads, I said that I thought that Day After Tomorrow would beat its $70 strike price, while most others said it would not. It did, but unfortunately, I did not have any stock in it. Oh well. At least I didn't short it (I bet there were a few that did!)

The only factor you need to consider is the fee's. It's one pricey stock. Of course it's going to drop. But will it drop enough for you to make the cost of the fee's of shorting and covering the stock with a nice profit? chances are it will.

I made 50k off TOMOR and dumped it. Good enough for me. I've got some long term investments that I'll clean up on months from now provided I don't screw up other stuff. Again - I suck at this.

Of course shrek 2 made me think I was pretty stupid.
At least I was smart enough to buy the warrant and milk it for every cent I can. I think it has made me back all my Shrek 2 losses .

I didn't get to make any sells until today.
I made
06/01/2004 07:43 Sell BWSH2 200 H$74.91 H$14,832.18
06/01/2004 07:43 Sell BWSH2 200 H$74.91 H$14,832.18
06/01/2004 07:42 Sell TOMOR 1000 H$206.81 H$204,741.90
Althought looking back, I think I made a mistake with Shrek 2. I thought the options I bought were for opening weekend, but it was a warrent, which the final value won't be known until september.

Sweet if things continue going the way I planned I may join the 5 million club before the weekend. So is anyone else invested heavily in HPOT3 and its calls and puts?

Ha! the shrek warrent is just about worth a million bucks to itself. damn, it really sucks that today is going to hurt for me. mid 5 millions and the calls and puts from this weekend will hurt today.
