I've got some in both 4 and 5, and they are down as well. Though its probably a reaction the the HP3 news.

I'm considering dumping everything, taking a hit and starting again. But I think the fees to sell off would be too great. Unless I wait for the fee free day.. Is there such a thing?

There is a 24-hour commission free trading period every weekend between Saturday 1pm (Eastern) and Sunday 1pm (Eastern). If you're going to dump everything, that's the time to do it.

Another extreme alternative is to reset your account. You can do this once per season, and it sets you back to H$2 million with no holdings (as if you were a new player again).

Hope some of you bought into the LVBON ipo over the weekend. Anything with Peter Jackson attached should do nicely for a short while.

Hmmm.. i seem to have made a little on the HP3 call.

It delisted at $13.69. I bought it for about 12.61 or so..

Though I'm down about 86K so far today.

yeah, it didn't do much. Atleast potter pays off something after crapping out on the weekend.

Instead of adding the money from the HP3CA delist - they subtracted it from my account!

Yeah, instead of adding the $136k+, they subtracted it so I am even worse off than I was before. If it is still like that in the morning, I'll have to write an email.

I've made quite a bit shorting it - I'm glad I was at least ahead of the curve on that one.

Wow. Jack is sure making his run towards the top

and in spite of his "mistakes" Movieking is holding strong

Of course JasonF and MrN are holding on to 1 and 2 like they own the spots

I could keep going but I will someone else have some fun

Next weekend could make or break me. I figure break is more like it

I think it takes a day or two.

have you posted anything on the message boards?

Did they email you telling you any reason for the loss?

interesting advance guesses. It looks like this site is expecting all three new openers to do slow business.

No way will chronicles do that low. sure it has heavy competition, but it's still the only new adult targeted item out there. Potter and Shrek 2 will fight it out for the younger audiance but the older crowd will be heading to Riddrick because besides Day After and Troy, it's the only thing adult targeted.

Garfield is going to get chewed out because of the flood of child targeted films out there right now. Stepford will face typical female crowds and split the date flick audiance.

interesting week indeed.

I didn't think so either for Riddick although the guesses from the week before were very accurate.

if he is right it will hit only around a $61 adjust for the weekend

well it's currently at $68.83 and rising. So if people do follow suit his views then it would be wise to short the stock as it will be coming down. I'm going to sit out on that option. the call is also rising so I don't think it's to believable till other estimates come out wed and thurs.

I am on a rollercoaster.

up and down.

I am tempted to sell everything so I can watch a movie today without wanting to check my progress

Between Jack and MrN (along with my lackluster performance for the last week or so), it wouldn't surprise me to see myself knocked out of my #1 position within the next few weeks.

Uh ... I mean ... bring it on, bee-otches! My HSX mojo is strong, and I shall crush all of you. We're going to STEPF, and we're going to TRMNL, and we're going to WCHIC, and we're going to 2BROS, and we're going to FH911. And then we're going to SPID2! Yeeeeaaaarrrrggghhh!
