Assuming that you didn't buy high and have to sell low

I am sure no one did that

Of course you could have been me and sold it 14 points before the top

I am glad I only missed out on 500k not counting a short potential

actually it will probably move up and down from that number. I would question the worth of keeping 5 million tied up in it since the fluctuations are less certain now.

The guess is will it go down more from sales by those who missed the drop or will they decide to hold for it to go up.

It doesn't drop or go up quickly. just give it time. You have it move so quickly donw because of the folks that were aware of the slight drop from 20 to 19.50 and then sold it and shorted it. this two combined items made it fall like a rock.

You also were the one that was worried it wouldn't go up anymore then it did last night.

Also, Shrek2 warrent is going up in price again. Looks like people were actually moving funds from one to the other.

I agree. However I am sure the biggest moves in short periods are over. It will move for sure. The only question is if you can earn more with the 5 million plus on anything else.

For smaller ports holding it will be putting the whole port on one stock when the movement in any direction is no longer as sure as it was last night.

Everyone knew it was going up. Everyone knew once it started to drop it would drop fast.

Now we are in the grey zone

Of course I am an Idiot when it comes to Shrek movies so what do I really know

hee, I think it still has some way to go down before it settles to a comfy zone. People right now are either happyt hey got on the drop fast or trying to see if they should hold the stock or not. More then likely they will eventually give up and place the cash elsewhere and it will settle around the 97-99 mark.

I doubt people will be buying into it right now though.

In the world we live in some will always glance and think hey shrek 2 is at a bargain price

I agree it will probably move down some although I would not be surprised to see it hover up and down a few points around 100 for the next few days at least.

Wow. I just got to check this thread and HSX for the first time all weekend, looks like I missed a hell of a time. In any event I decided to buy some SHRK3 and it is up $4 in the last half hour alone. That should make up for the wrong picks I had on the calls and puts.

Thanks. I took off leaving it down expecting to go down some then bam. Looks like half of the days winnings are gone already. Ha! Well that's what they say about money... Easy come easy go.

Guess I completely over looked the other thing. People's stocks were adjusted. those who longed and those who shorted both looking to gain an extra amount of cash with the money that was halted.

Atleast FH911 is dropping in my favor.

It is just not stopping.

I am a bit shocked although with the numbers Shrek 2 did I guess I am not surprised.

I doubt it will stay much above 115 before falling again.

yeah. I'll stick it out. About half a million in the red on it though I still show a decent profit for the day. So I mean it's kind of a let down from what I would have been at if I did just walk away, but it's better then nothing.

I always look at a day to day increase and can care less about getting it right on everything anyway.

At least you were not me the moron who sold Shrek 3 at 96

almost everyone looks smart compared to me

See now where can it go from here? Any higher then it's current 24.5 is just risking a lot. I know the moment I turn it around it will just drop. blah. still showing a profit for the day so it's all good.
