Just call me Mr. Overreaction. I thought my short on FH911 was going to hurt me horribly, but I had a few other things to balance it.

So where do people think FH911 will go from here?

gcribbs

They are adding more theaters so who nows. My gut feeling is that it will go down like most movies however this is not most movies so who knows.

We will know better based on weekday totals and by next weekend.

devilshalo

Your initial gut feeling told you it wouldn't make $10M
Never listening to gcribbs again.

gcribbs

Hey I told you before halt I was getting out and moving on


This game does take too much time however. I feel like I need to check up on things far too often to make sure I do not miss a turn of a stock.

MrN

Looks like the actuals on FH911 were almost $3 more than the estimate - so I missed about half a mil. on the adjust. Its just not my week...

gcribbs

Maybe it will be your week next week


I am expecting a drop off or at least a leveling off for me over the next few days although maybe I can find a few more gems in the rough to give me some money this week.

I should finally break $7 million today.

A bunch of the new BW are selling off again.

I don't understand why some of the BW's are selling. I'll be keeping several around, they've already made me a pretty profit.

gcribbs

Once people get enough profit some will sell. some people are selling to buy Spiderman shares. Others like me are selling to join the herd and make money on the short.

once they started to go down I sold and shorted most of them to make some money going down. then I will cover and rebuy to make money going back up

A word of warning about doing this- If you do this too late then the cost of paying commissions can eat you up since you are selling ,shorting,covering,rebuying. If you get in late sometimes a simple sell and rebuy is the best since you avoid half the commissions and still buy it lower making some of your losses back.


If you are real late in the selloff holding it would work best.

Jonny2k1

gcribbs, I guess that does make some pretty good sense. I'm just not that active with my trading I suppose.

So remind me again, which one of you assured us that there was no way that FH911 would make its price? I have a raspberry to blow. (And a portfolio to rebuild.)

gcribbs

If you do not have a bunch of time to devote to it then picking good stocks/bonds... and holding them is the best way.

I just do not have a life

gcribbs

probably me. then I saw people posting theater reports so I posted here I was selling and taking my profits and running to the next investment.

I still am shocked it made as much as it did

MONDAY'S #'S - FH911 4.5, UDOGS 2.8, WHIC 2.5, NOTEB 2.2

from BUZZ2 at HSX

kninestile

That was me as well. I also have a portfolio that needs rebuilding. I lost aroung 1.2 million and the weekend before I lost around 300k on AW80D.

Just for future reference on my predictions since I'm batting 1000. I have now held 3 movies through their opening weekend. They are as follows:

Girl Next Door - Held Long

AW80D - Held Long

FH911 - Held Short

gcribbs

At least you did not go long on Envy like I did

towbinaj

add me to the list

My worst move was holding New York Minute long. It cost me well over [Dr Evil]One Meellllllllion Dollars[/Dr Evil]

Heat

Interesting game, I'm in.

criptik28

Nice to see my purchase of "The Notebook" is paying off.

gcribbs

what is your user name

EDIT: It is DVDTalk_Heat

I guess he actually read the instructions and followed them

Good Luck

devilshalo

That makes 74 players?

B.A.

That's my total after adding Heat.

Jonny2k1

I can't decide if I want to hold onto the SP2CA, I just don't know how much it will make this weekend. $130 million does seem high, so I might have to jus take my profits and run from it.
