I think at some point big screen movies will come back, but for now adapt to new scenarios...

Posted by: Flash on Aug 06, 16:43 in response to JDolphin's post So if the game has become about shorting everything,...

I don't short everything, but I look at the release dates of movies, and if they are scheduled soon, then MAYBE shorting might be a good call. I still have lots of movies held long, and I know at some point they will release (I can't see James Bond going to PPV, I could be wrong, but) so you have to see what the market is telling us.

There is still a lot of strategy to holding various stocks...which ones will stay on schedule? Which ones will disappear? Which ones will be streamed? Which ones will be released in theaters?

The game can still be fun - I look at my port everyday, and think "maybe I should keep this stock held long...umm..maybe I'll short this one, etc." Many times I'm wrong.

I'm not playing the players...I'm playing the stocks...you can do the same. Remember it's only "play money."

I should have realized I should have been playing the exact opposite of how I would normaly play. Down 10% on the year.......hate you Covid unaturalx Aug 04, 17:55

There is absolutely no reason in the world to own any MST long these days. ndmaster Aug 04, 20:50

Like most unqualified declarations about markets, that one seems unreliable {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Aug 04, 21:16

Just calling it as I see it. ndmaster Aug 04, 21:33

you know ..... now I'll have to look up what "unqualified declarations" means...... :) unaturalx Aug 05, 05:54

Which is why I'm not playing much. People are shorting because that seems to be the in thing, Not because their is an news on that stock {nm} JDolphin Aug 05, 00:12

And that's not a game I care to play. HSX is now about 80% playing the players. AND I HATE THAT PART OF THE GAME! I've thought about leaving JDolphin Aug 05, 00:25

If Mulan is a huge financial success on Disney+ then the Cinema's are that much closer to extinction unaturalx Aug 05, 05:51

If cinemas are going extinct then their is no point to the game. So unless they find another way to measure the game ends. So why play {nm} JDolphin Aug 06, 00:03

You're wrong about it being playing the players. Instead, it's now about playing a drastically changed cinema market ... Patient Player Aug 05, 09:40

Newsflash: Theaters are closed and are coming back at 30 to 50% capacity if people even go back. You don't think it'll affect box office? {nm} Antibody Aug 05, 10:58
