Thanks islander, that really cleared things up for me. So i guess i've been daytrading for the most part. I check the recent movers all the time and if it wasn't for an early investment in paranormal activity, i'd still be struggling to buy max on most films. Is there any proven strategies you care to share? I tried to deal with the starbonds but it wasn't as intriguing to me as moviestocks and bonds. So...yeah, I'm a newb asking for good advice if you're willing to share it.
