Troy is not going to make the $60 price for sure. I think it will be lucky to hit $55 million this weekend. It will probably end up with lower numbers than Van Helsing.
I suspect it will also not make the warrant price now.
A bit of a surprise.

Troy's warrent price has been tanking. -3.51 so far today.
I picked up the call on troy so I'll be taking that hit for it. Oh well, it really did seem like it was going to make it.

Luckily I dumped my Troy Call when it was around $9 or $10, and bought some of the Put for only $.45 a share, was a good decision. Though I should have dumped the warrant as well (short term)and picked it back up again when and if it bottomed out.

I was wondering why I was getting all these referrals! Sigh...

I got 10,000 puts for Troy and I shorted around 7,000 since that was all of the available cash that I had. Hopefully, it will help me make up for the last week's New York Minute debacle.

I dumped the Troy put when it came back up to over $2( I figured it might come in too close to 60 million to take a chance). Luckily I bought The Troy call at $2 and then I dumped it and shorted it at $6 (wish I had waited until it hit $9 though) I was really holding my breath and crossing my fingers on this one.

Usually when they adjust on sunday people dump them like crazy and they go back and forth through the cycle. That's a lot of cash to play with, If it was me I would dump it and move on to the next cash venture.

Yup. Riding them for all their worth. Troy warrent has made me a nice chump of change. Now it's tanking when I picked it up at 14.00

Helsing's been going up to .30 and down to .19 cents all day long. can't make up it's mind if it wants to just drop to 0.00 already.

I was lucky and shorted the Troy call when it hit 7 something. I made some good money on that.
Generally I am making some money now although not enough big picks to join the elite

Even with a Breaking short on call and holding on the put couldn't balance out the terrible hit from the troy screw up. Oh well.

The weekend before actually treated me right. Called Helsing and NYM right and over all those warrents have been treating me nice.
It's amazing how much troy has dropped in its warrents a clean 160k just in the short. This weekend was alright till sunday rolled along. Nothing like the bleeding dry weekends that were a while back.

This was a good weekend for me, but I honestly have no clue what I want to put my money in now that I'm this far ahead. Shrek 2 is so high-priced and I'm not entirely sure that it's a safe bet either way.
