I usually do not play the openers since I always lose money on the ones I play
I think COLAT has a good chance of making the adjust or beating the numbers at the levels it is at now.(84ish)
Of course I will not touch it since I would end up being wrong as usual
eidt:
another good day today moving over $24 million. If the stocks I bought tonight can move a bit more I have a chance for $25 million by tomorrow.
Those STD players are real tough. The top three are doing huge numbers. I do not see how I can ever catch them unless they make a big mistake or I get lucky.

I woke up with COLAT sucking me in at -3.50 and I was at where I bought it at. Right now it's +4.50, a little more and I'll sell it off. I'm one of those that doesn't touch the weekend openers other then a Put and Call option. I short one and buy the other. AVSP is still sucking me dry though. I'm sure with the call of it at 35 people will be buying it back up to make it past the 100 per share mark again.
As one of my first buys when joining, I'm sticking to it.

I expect this might go up although I would not be shocked to see it drop down below $90 a share and hang around that level. I am not sure what people think of this one.

I thought people made up their choice of a films potential based off the call/put. With a call/put price of 35, it's projected opening weekend seems to be pretty good. especially since collateral is set up for 30 million. that leaves a lot of room for AvsP to have room by itself with Village two weeks old.
then again I could be wrong.

Ok, I could use some quick advice as a newbie. I have a bunch of shares of the Boure Supremacy Blockbuster Warrant for $100m. If (when) it breaks $100 million gross, it will pay off at $1 per share per $1million it goes over $100 million. It was really close at the end of last weekend, but I can sell the options right now and make $20 per.
I'm not sure what to do?

Blockbuster warrents don't pay out till september 6th. What it means is once it passes $100 million then it becomes profitable. Much like a Put/Call. the point of that warrent is that you are betting that the film will make 100 million + by september 6

Sorry for jinxing you Jack on AVSP. Had I known just saying it would work I would have actually shorted the stock and made some money off of it

Ha. curse you! curse you and your um... curse.. um. yeah.
In total AVSP has made me lose 1/2 a million today. Thankfully other investments have somewhat balanced me out.
My best hope for AvsP is that once the weekend commish free period kicks off people will buy next weeks stock, like they do every week. I'll jump off it whenever possible. But the price is still well projected for the adjust so It will go back up in the long haul.
Collateral on the other hand has caused me to have great confusion. which way is it going? started off at +5.50 then down to +1.00 and then up to +4.00 and then back down. Ouch!

Yet I find a way to make some most days.
As far at the Born2 BW. I would hold it till this weekend commission free and then dump it. I think if you invest it and keep turning it you can make more than you can holding it.
IMO. YMMV.
I own none of the BW's that are out now. I have from time to time owned them and made some good money off of them. When the returns drop I get out and move to other investments.
I might pick them up closer to cashout if I think I can make some good money on them.
