Very nice! Good call on that one, I wish I had seen it coming.

Can't wait till tomorrow. I maxed out all the Calls and Puts on the releases in the correct order. so a nice lump of change is coming my way through that.

This weekend makes up for last weeks bad moves.

At least you did not have zero shares like me


I hope to make some good moves sometime. If not for people giving me 100k due to me being so bad last week I would be in last still.

Those are the right names. Make sure you don't have a stray space after the user name. The add-a-user prompt is very picky.

Damn, I didn't think Envy and Godsend would tank so badly. Thankfully I had twice as much invested in Mean girls' success and Bobby Jones' failure.

Holy moly!

Those who are tracking the league in-game, take a look at the leaderboard this morning. You can tell who had Mean Girls stock and who didn't.

I put every cent that I had into Mean Girls and prayed that it would pay off.

Man, my hats off to those of you who took a big chance on Mean Girls I thought it would make a profit but not nowhere near what it actually did. Good call.

Van Helsing is really beginning to climb in price. It could be this weeks money maker.

I guessed wrong on Mean Girls - but thankfully I didn't do with the main stock but with the options. I did guess right on Godsend and Envy, so it kinda evens out and I'm still holding on to the #4 spot...barely.

I'll be posting a new movie challenge sometime tomorrow, to give the current challenge a full week.

As for the Leaderboard, I update those on Wednesdays in a new thread. Expect some big upsets!

I'm not sure why I missed you this week, but I just checked my Master List and you're there...twice!

DVDTALK_Glassdragon
DVDtalk_glassdragon

Both of these accounts seem to be valid?

Hey groucho, a favor to ask. This weeks run down on the top leaders.. can you actually post the standings of all members in there places on wednesday. Figuring out who is missing on the list would be a lot easier if there is a chart to chart look at who's #35 and so forth instead of just listing them in order of name.

Good idea, Jack. I think I am missing someone and that would make it much easier to find the culprit.

And the Calls for Mean Girls cashed out - I am now officially out of the red!!!!!

I was surprised by the options. Nailed them all maxed out at good number ranges. This weekend was really really good for me. Now if only I sold those shorts on mean girl when it was -4 this morning.
