Then they should get rid of stocks altogether and IPO OW derivatives as soon as a project is announced.

Because I don't know anyone who cares about how much a movie will make in four weeks. It's all about opening weekend and right now, the stocks have absolutely zero correlation to that important number.

AGREED!!! St Blink Mar 07, 06:36

Agreed. pennystocks2 Mar 07, 07:08

People here complaining are people still here {nm} ßionicℳoron™ Mar 07, 07:35

Yes, but for how long? They are complaining because the obviously DO care about the game, and are voicing their opinion of why it's not as BSmurf Mar 07, 07:52

Spot on BSmurf. You have summed up the situation so accurately. I agree totally. {nm} EarthMotherYTD2015 Mar 07, 08:04

Though is it a gambling fix they want or easy money? Saying this as someone who has basically stopped playing the game since the end of RogerMore Mar 07, 08:27

You've hit the nail on the head: it's now WORK. Not a game that someone can casually play in their spare time. Good gaming design involves BSmurf Mar 07, 08:39

Well said. diamondman56 Mar 07, 08:41

I think it was work before, but it was work that players wanted to do. Research movies, make predictions etc. RogerMore Mar 07, 08:54

I agree about "easy money" - which was mostly the result of the Saturday halts. Go back to Friday, and it's not so certain. {nm} BSmurf Mar 07, 08:59

The other easy money I'm talking about is the post-adjust short. {nm} RogerMore Mar 07, 09:37

Also, once you've reached the cash level (billionaire +) that we have, it's hard to remember what it was like not having any money BSmurf Mar 07, 09:04

I think they want it to be the kind of game that provides data that they can sell. Adjusts were preventing that Moviesnob Mar 07, 09:22

I think you're half right. total domestic box is still more important than opening weekend but studio decay curves starting working based on Moviesnob Mar 07, 10:01

Good points Roger, but the bottom line is that HSX is trying to attract as many users as possible. So it doesn't really... tomcat90 Mar 07, 12:42

WOLV3.OW and .CA paid off 28+. p[retty good quick buck for your gambling fix. {nm} Antibody Mar 07, 09:35

WOLV3.OW halted at $79 which means that the OW was underpriced from its IPO. {nm} diamondman56 Mar 07, 09:43

Thanks, Captain Hindsight. {nm} Antibody Mar 07, 09:45

Well, that isn't the "quick buck" that you're claiming. It meant holding onto it for three weeks. diamondman56 Mar 07, 09:54

2 1/2 weeks is quick compare to MovieStockss been trading or months/yeaars. {nm} Antibody Mar 07, 10:01

*that's been trading for months/years. {nm} Antibody Mar 07, 10:02

And derivatives just don't have the sort of play that stocks do. There were multiple levels of play on stocks when there was halt/adjust diamondman56 Mar 07, 09:48

agreed {nm} eternal warrior Mar 07, 07:43

Simple Don't play the game. {nm} mike255 Mar 07, 09:30

I've only been playing a little over a year, and I agree the game is less fun and less challenging without the halt. {nm} the_treachery_of_images Mar 07, 10:16

Completely agree. {nm} Silent_Ben Mar 07, 11:27

Coca-Cola had a winning formula for 100 years. Then some Executive decided to change it and the people Revolted.They quickly changed it back tomcat90 Mar 07, 12:21
