The HSX.com thread

[IdahoMR2man]

Does anyone else play with the Hollywood Stock Exchange? It's a great site for movie fans. You can buy stocks of upcoming movies, actors, studios and fund such as horror or fantasy movies. I've been doing it since about March and think it's fun. I'm hoping that I can get people to try it and get into it so that we can give each other trading tips. Anyone know about it? Here's the link: Hollywood Stock Exchange (http://www.hsx.com)

Try it out. It takes a little while to start earning money but once you do it's pretty fun.

[cg124]

whats your username so i can say a friend refered me to HSX

[IdahoMR2man]

IdahoMR2man

sorry man i acidently entered my account before i put your name is , so you won't be getting $100,000 from me. sorry:(

[IdahoMR2man]

Don't worry about it. Thanks Thor.

I would suggest you guys start out by buying some movies that are going to come out soon so you can get a taste of it but also invest in a couple movies that are cheap now but you think will do good when they come out. For instance I bought Lion, Witch and Wardrobe when it was only like $7.00 a share and now it's at about $30. So I made a few million off of that. Also actors and actresses that are cheap but have good upcoming movies is a good way to get rich too. I invested in Diane Kruger who is playing Helen in Troy. I figure since Helen's supposed to be the most beautiful women ever that Diane Kruger will be seen more after Troy and since she's unheard of now her stock was cheap. Also be sure to take part in the contests that they have. Good way to make money. Good luck guys. Let me know what you buy.

[mentiroso]

I signed up with your name too.
anyone want to sign up use mentiroso from now on!!!
;)

[RebelwithaCause]

Its a very cool site. I invested a ton of money into King Kong about 6 months ago...hehehe...right now I got about 8 million dollars overall, but its still growing. My most stupidest mistake was betting a lot on Tron 2....thinking that it would make it through pre-production hell....grr....I'm 250,000 in the hole on that one, and have been that way for a long time now.

[droidguy1119]

You got money from me.

[Rogue]

Same here, I registered and used you as the referral, Idaho.

[sphericthor]

I play a UK game called Celebdaq which is kinds similar but you buy shares in celebrities and the more publicity they get the more you make. I bought shares in Keanu Reeves and Arnie knowing that they'd shoot up when their movies were released, I bouth them at around £3 a share and sold them at over £100 each

[IdahoMR2man]

Nice. Anyone found any good stocks yet? The cheapies I have are Rising Stars, Watchmen, Preacher and The Lion Witch and Wardrobe is still fairly cheap.

[droidguy1119]

I'm looking for a movie that I think is going to be a sleeper hit -- I was aware of both Old School and 28 Days Later in 2001, but I didn't tell anyone about them (this isn't related to HSX, just in general) and then I regretted not telling anyone.

[darthspielberg]

I have been using the HSX for years so if you all want to help me out, it's darthspielberg

[droidguy1119]

I'm horrible at this game! But it's fun anyway, and maybe what I've bought will pay off later...

[IdahoMR2man]

What do you have Droid?

[droidguy1119]

I bought some Spider-Man, some Return of the King. Sam Raimi, Naomi Watts, Peter Jackson. I expect Return of the King to pay off when the Oscars approach and Raimi and Spider-Man 2 to pick up as the release date gets closer.

I'm also doing a weak job of trying to predict what will be big in 2004...my gamble is a girl named Emmy Rossum, who's in two big films next year (one of them is The Day After Tomorrow, where she's the female lead).

[droidguy1119]

Alright, now I'm looking at my portfolio. (Damn! Half my stuff dropped! Grr.)

Anchorman, Around the World in 80 Days, Bogeyman (personal investment), Club Dread, Kill Bill Volume 2, King Kong, Return of the King, Meet the Fockers, Mr. 3000 (a gamble), National Treasure (another gamble), The Incredibles, Nosebleed (because my friend told me to), Ocean's Twelve, The Ring 2, Spider-Man 2, The Day After Tomorrow, Van Helsing and Walking Tall for movie stocks, none over 1000 shares and most lower, 800-600.

10000 Bruce Campbell shares, because Bruce is the man and it's all for fun anyway, Christopher Walken because he's got a bunch of stuff in 2004, Emmy Rossum, Joel Schumacher (for Phantom), Keira Knightley, Naomi Watts, Peter Jackson, Sam Raimi and Uma Thurman.

And I just bought some Bill Murray, maybe Lost in Translation buzz will help his stock rise too.

My net worth is only just under 2 million.

[sphericthor]

I really suck at this game but hopefully things will start to pick up as we go along.

[equipe]

Its hard to make money right out of the gate. Its all about long-term investment. I've been playing for years and am only at a touch over 7.3million

My biggest win was buying hayden Christensen at $4

But I'm also losing a butt-load on Cold Mountain, Seige of Malta and Rainbow Six

[IdahoMR2man]

Don't forget you can "short" the movies or actors that have high stocks that you think are going to suck. I made a bunch off Charlies Angel's 2 that way.

Thanks for the tip Droidguy. I just bought 20000 shares of Emmy Rossum so hopefully she'll pay off.

[droidguy1119]

Ah. I should read the FAQs and stuff so I get better at knowing what everything is. But this does make investing interesting, lol.

I'M GOING TO INVEST IN THE SLINKY MOVIE, DAMMIT!

:rolleyes:

[Dracula]

I signed up, havent done anything with it yet though

[sphericthor]

I started off by buying low priced shares in a few movies and played it safe and bout 1000 shares in each of the major production companies resulting in a 14% rise after a few hours :D

[TyRoss]

I used to play this all the time.

Never got too far in the movies section but I was huge in the music section... my highest rank was #25 I believe.

I wonder if my accounts still active.

[TyRoss]

Wow whattaya know it was.

Sold my ROTK shares for a profit of well over 3 mil and bought some Inlorious Bastards and Indy 4 stoks.

I got on the Ep 3 bandwagon when it first started so those are doing well for me too.

[IdahoMR2man]

There's a music section?!?!?! Where??? I'd be awesome at that!!!

[IamMrDJ]

I just signed up as well. You got some more free money coing to you Idaho

[droidguy1119]

Bought some more stocks -- Inglorious Bastards and Tarantino himself.

[FunnyBone]

I'm a member. good fun game. FunnyBone721 is my username

[IdahoMR2man]

Here's a tip. Watch out for a guy named Steve Bacic. You can't buy his stock yet but I requested it. But he was the guy that played Hank McCoy in X2. So if he is ever announced to play Beast in X3 he'll be a good investment. Nice and cheap.

[sphericthor]

Not doing too bad now all my shares are on the rise with the lowest gain at 2%. I lost around $100,000 the other day but I've regained all of that now plus extra, just sitting pretty above $2million but not all of it spent on shares I'm leeping $200,000 for when I find a good profit maker and blow it all on that.

I usually buy those that have risen the most within a certain time period and then when they show any signs of dropping I get rid of them at a healhty profit.

[IdahoMR2man]

I lost $12,000 today. And for some reason none of your guys' referall moneys are coming in.

[droidguy1119]

That sucks. Maybe you can only get one referral, or so many in a week.

They don't want you gaining tons and tons of profit just because you went on a message board and posted your ID, do they? ;)

[IdahoMR2man]

I kinda think I might short Day After Tomorrow. With it being a Roland Emmerich movie AND a disaster movie, I think it's going to get alot of hype and then just tank....

[equipe]

just bought 50000 of Inglorious Bastards... This'll be a good payoff.

[IdahoMR2man]

I bought 1 share of Inglorious Bastards. Cuz that's all the cash I have.

[Dracula]

I have 1000 shares of:Alien vs. Predetor, The Bourn Supremecey James Bond 21, The Ladykillers, The Punisher, Rush Hour 3, Spongebob square pants, and Van Hellsing
25000 shares of The Bourne Ultimatum, which is very cheap right now, and the Spongebob squarepants movie(you know the familys will flock to that)
I also have 1000 starbond stocks of Michelle Rodriguez, 10000 in Ben Kingsley, and 9511 of Sean Penn(who is amazingley cheap)

[IdahoMR2man]

Don't forget to fill out the survey today. Easy $50,000. I bought 4000 shares of Inglorious Bastards with it.

[equipe]

One question $50G's. NICE!

[IdahoMR2man]

Yeah they have a new one every Tuesday.

[Maximus]

bought stock in Pirates 2
Aviator, Inglorious Bastards, Batman 5, Fantastic 4, Harry Potter 3, King Kong, Big Fish, I robot, Iron Man, Bridget Jones 2, The Passion, Spiderman 2, Star wars 3, Return of the king, Lion witch and wardrobe and anchorman and a few stars as well. Waiting for them to go up is killing me though.

[equipe]

I had one nice day today:

today's change: H$129,757.20 :)

[equipe]

I just picked up 20000 of Darren Aronofsky, he's cheap @ $2.01

[IdahoMR2man]

Yesterday I made $250,000. Best day I've ever had there. Today I've only made $16,000 woopee. Who is Darren Aronofsky?

[droidguy1119]

Darren Aronofsky is an auteur director who's done a lot of low budget-stuff...his most famous work was "Pi" (re: math symbol), and he was on-board the Batman Year One project (he might still be, but maybe he left, I dunno).

[IdahoMR2man]

Well what's he doing next?

[equipe]

how well do you guys think 21 grams will do. the stock is still cheap $10.96 and there is a lot of oscar buzz around it, and with nominations coming soon maybe this stock still has some head-room.

i dont see that movie doing very well in the box office.
And i dont see it being nominated for anything because it wasnt nominated at the golden globes.

[HeadHunter]

I just got Thor a cool 100,000

username NIMOS

[spiderman_2k]

I just signed up...

When I click starbonds or moviestocks I see the headings like Name, Symbol Price and stuff, but there is nothing listed, am I doing something wrong?

[dr_evil]

look to the left of the screen, underneath where it says search there is a place that says BROKER and thats where you type in how many you want to buy

i hope that helps

[IdahoMR2man]

Nevermind.

I just realized something. The reason I never got all those $100,000 referall bonus' is because it's case sensitive. It had to be spelled exactly like Idahomr2man. Weak.

[equipe]

I logged in just fine....Never mind.

Anyways I found another potential Gem. Gates of Fire is just over 2 bucks and with George Clooney and being a historical epic, how could you go wrong.

[sphericthor]

So far today I've made a nice little profit of $46,831.91 after being down more than $28k earlier.

I bought shares in a few stars who are looking like a good bet for the year ahead, and I've been maing a profit from all of them so far.

Alison Lohman
Maggie Gylenhaal
Scarlett Johansson

I also have 2 referall bonuses coming in soon, so that'll boost the profits a little

He also did 'Requiem For A Dream' which is magnificent...

I don't think he's attatched to the Batman project anymore, I think it's just Christopher Nolan now.

[dr_evil]

I bought some shares from
Christina Ricci, Alfred Molina, Debra Messing, Thomas Jane and i am getting a profit

I bought Gates of Fire ALONG time ago when it was like $10 a share. And it tanked to 2 bucks. So I sold it. Lost about $300,000 on it.

[dr_evil]

Buy Ringworld it cost $2.41. i just bought 50,000 of them 2-3 hours ago and have already made a profit of $6,500

[HeadHunter]

I bought some shares in The Purifier with Vin Deseal it has made me a tidy little profit of $18,000 this afternoon so i pilled in and got 50,000 of the buggers.....heres hoping :p

[equipe]

I bought 50000 Gates of Fire at 1.76, can't wait for this stock to mature.

[southern]

Damn you Justin!:p

now i have something else to be addicted too:D

[IdahoMR2man]

Mwahaha...my plan is all going as.....uh...planned.

[droidguy1119]

Well, with the Batman project, Year One and Intimidation were separate, so Aronofsky might still be involved, but I think you're right, he's gone.

[Oj]

I signed up last night (I hope you got the referral H$, Idaho). This is surprisingly addictive ;). I've been loading up on Nominoptions, lately. Tom Cruise's Nominoption shares are down to $3.05 a share... and I really think he'll be nominated this year. Jennifer Connely, Ken Watanabe, Russell Crowe, and Peter Weir are all fairly low, as well. I also picked up some Moviestocks in some long term stuff (Polar Express, X-Men 3, etc.), and some that are coming out soon. I think this might turn out to be a fairly strong portfolio (I hope so, anyway :p).

[IdahoMR2man]

Thanks Oj. Hopefully it'll come through. I took a $35,000 loss today. I'm now at $6,500,000.

[equipe]

Seeing as everyone seems to be gaining from everone esle joining, throw some referal $'s to BenJammin

[HeadHunter]

NIce......i went to bed sitting pretty and woke up to a $80,000 loss stareing me in the face :(

[IdahoMR2man]

Yeah I lost $40,000 last night. LWWRDB had a dollar loss per share. Hit me and my 50,000 shares of it pretty hard. But it'll rise again!!!

[TyRoss]

Congratulations the thread has been promoted ;)

[equipe]

The last 2 days i'm down about 125,000. even though my Die Hard 4 stock is doing well.

[IdahoMR2man]

Actually Ty I made an HSX thread in community ages ago and it bombed. I made this one in General movies because I thought people that cared more about movies would get a kick out of it rather than the locals that just come to chat with each other.

[TyRoss]

I've made a killing on Shrek 2..... mind you I bought the shares like 2 years ago when they were only 33 bucks a share instead of the 196 they are now ;)

[TyRoss]

Funny I did the same thing ages ago... if it starts lagging I'll move it back but now that a few more are interested it might just do something here.

[IdahoMR2man]

Ok. Works for me. I am hoping to rope some newbies into it too.

[TyRoss]

Hmmmm should we all take turns diving up the bonus bucks? ;)

Oh and everyone should post their current totals.

Mine:

$11 958 409.71

Personally i try and take the long term approach. Mind you thats good because before this all started up I hadn't looked at the thing in about a year.

Currently as I said I've made mad gains from Shrek 2, a whopping 482% increase (but don't be fooled I bought those a looooong time ago).

My Ep 3 and HP3 and 4 shares help as well. As well I managed to grab some Radcliffe shares before he shot through the roof.

I used to be a demi-god in the music stocks though. I was in the top 25 lifetime. Too bad they're not there anymore.

[IdahoMR2man]

The music isn't there?!?!?! Bugger.

I'm at $6,551,569.75

I had well over 400 mil in those babys.

Oh trader tip. X-Men 3 stocks are down a bit right now (though still mid-pricey) might be a good buy if you can weather them going up and down until we have more firm news of the flick.

[IdahoMR2man]

I wasn't around when they had music. That sucks. I woulda been good at that.

[southern]

i think i'm in the hole but i really can't understand it to tell you

heh could be having a better couple days.

Pirates 2 is going through a period where it's dropping like a rock. But this isn't anything unusual most stocks do this at some point. Pirates at least should stabilize well in the plus for me once theres a little more concrete news.

But Potter and Indy are doing well today.

I joined up to this but I never got the time to participate. Maybe I'll give it another go sometime.

Heres a tip if you are looking for a long term investment

The Aviator @ $33 a share at the mo. Released at the end of the year staring leo decaprio and directed by Scorsese those names should gurantee* it at least doubles it share value.



*tedward can not be held responsible for shares not at least doubling in value.

[IdahoMR2man]

I bombed today!!! Lost $100,000. Every good stock I have just lost a dollar or so. Bugger. LWWRDB lost $4.00 in the last 24 hours!!!

[tedward]

thats me just about spent all my money - most of it invested in three long term beuties.

Now to gamble away my last few 100 000 on short term risky investments.

Oh - it must be nice to be rich.

Ten thousand isn't a big deal. Especially on your first day.

[southern]

between how much i've investested and my net worth
the difference is 81 cents

[Link]

Quentin's other film "The Vega Brothers" and "Jaws 5" are pretty cheap right now.

[Oj]

Just hope they actually make those... you'd be up a creek if you threw a lot of money at those stocks, and they scrapped them.

And I can't believe it, but my Nominoptions for Anthony Minghella, Cold Mountain, and Russell Crowe are taking a nosedive... they seem like definites for nominations.

[Citizen Kane]

They should be...

My guess is that the mixed reception of Cold Mountain is hurting its chances, and Master and Commander might be a dim memory in the minds of people by now...

[Oj]

Yeah... but I don't see the Academy ignoring Crowe or Minghella. I hope my instincts are right ;).

[Citizen Kane]

No, the Academy never listens to the critics. Or reason, for that matter. ;)

Todays Update,

Doing well today,

My X3 stocks are finally starting to pay off... they're up 2.5 so far today.

Pirates 2 is still seesawing like mad but gradually the price gets higher.

Star Wars 3 has had consistent small gains lately just as is has for the past couple years... by the time it opens it should have a price of well over H$250 or if the gods like me H$300

For all the recent joins who are looking for good cheap stocks, IRON MAN has gone up consistently the past 3 days and is only about H$11 right now. If we get firm news on the flick it could shoot right up as well.

[tedward]

Ive made almost 20000 since I joined yesterday - but Im in it for the longrun.

Can any one tell me how much movies like x-men 2 and the hulk were valued at when they were finally released - is it usually much more than 90 -100?

[IdahoMR2man]

Yes definately. Movies that are going to be in the top 10 financially for the year are rarely under $150 and more than likely around the $200 mark. Movies like LOTR go for about $300 a share.

[sphericthor]

I'm not doing too bad after yesterdays slump of losing over $115,000 but today I'm still going strong with today's change at a gain of H$210,286.50

[IdahoMR2man]

Wow!!! That's-a pretty good gain!

[sphericthor]

I bought shares in Dawn of the Dead and Die Hard 4 which are my big earners over the last few days. But if you buy any starbonds I would say go for Alison Lohman, Maggie Gylenhaal, Selma Blair and Scarlett Johnasson, they have all made at least 8% gain for me

[tedward]

How much are you worth now thor?

Idaho I put you down as the person who recomended me as you mentioned in the first post - then I read the second page and saw your username was different, you should probably edit your first post. In case anyone else is still to join - seems like most people already have though.

[sphericthor]

I'm still only worth $2,209,780.61 because of heavy losses over the last 2 days, but hopefully if I continue to rise like I am now I'll be worth a lot more. I only started playing a few days ago so I'm still new to the whole thing

[tedward]

Im worth 2.019 Million

I have shares in ten different films and two actors (Toni collette and Colin Farrel)

The buy im most worried about is AvP @ 53.18 not a film Id go and see but for some reason i still thought it might do alright in the box office (It should by hyped up big time) - If it rises in value at all I think I might be tempted to sell early. My best performing share is Arround the world in 80 days bought at 40 now worth 43 (a rise of 8%)

[southern]

$2,050,999.94 :D

Clive Owen and Kate Winslet have made me money:applaud:
The Gathering is great stock and really cheap

i have 15 movies and 33 actors

[TyRoss]

Just changed over some Starbonds.

Sold My Hayden Christiansen and Christopher Lee shares (both had about 200% profit for me)

I think I just got a long term steal with Alfred Molina at H$25. Once Spidey 2 hits his price could soar.

[sphericthor]

I only have 10 stocks overall, 4 movies and 6 actors/actresses. I had a lot more but they kept losing me money so I cut my losses and got rid of the stocks that weren't doing good enough for me. The only movie I've kept that is losing me money is Stay, because I think it's one of those sleeper hits that's just waiting to pounce

[southern]

that's what I'm hoping with my Saffron Burrows, Clive Owen, Hugh Dancy, and Ioan Gruffudd stocks (the first for Troy and the others once King Arthur hits)

[tedward]

Is there a CS League?

[IdahoMR2man]

Freddy vs. Jason pulled in $36.4 million its first week, so AvP should be a good stock to have... especially at that price. At H$53.14 it's expected to make $18 million opening weekend. It'll definitely go up from there.

never assume that a stock will go up on release. I've been playing this game a long time and have been burned countless times. I just about always sell the day before release, unless it is going to be huge, ie LOTR or Bad Boys II or something, or if I'm already losing money on it I'll hold to see what happens. Like I'm doing right now with Cold Mountain which I bought at 63.07 and is hovering around 58. The only reason I'm keeping it is waiting for oscar nominations, which sometimes help the price.

[Rogue]

I made 14 grand today..not too shabby.

[sphericthor]

Started off this morning down $7,500, but I got a huge rise on Dawn of the Dead, up by 8% to 17% overnight

Charlize may be worth selling now but may continue to build until oscar time... see if she wins a Golden Globe if not sell.

Alfred you should hang on to until well after Spidey 2 comes out.

[HeadHunter]

i just bought Theron so i hope it isnt time to sell her :D

[TyRoss]

And everybody should be spending at least a little dough to buy some Hobbit shares before they start skyrocketing.

current price $90.00 (starter price)

Personally I maxed mine out. cost me $4 500 000

Thanks to Sparhawk for the tip that they were on sale.

and the 20,000 shares of Christian Bale i own

[PsychoMike]

Day after tomorrow went up H$4 from yesterday.

My shares are in many stocks. 14 movies, 7 stars, 2 funds, and 3 options

[HeadHunter]

anyone know that this means??

The following StarBonds will be price adjusted to match their TAGs:

[TyRoss]

It means those Starbonds are about to be adjusted to the pice listed. So if they're higher now then sell quick.

[HeadHunter]

In that case it could seriously suck to be you in a while. ;)

Every once in a while the Starbonds need to be adjusted to better reflect the actors performance at the box office.

They can go up or down.

[southern]

I'm so glad that i sold me "The Gathering" stock yesterday when it was up enough to make me 6 grand cause today it fell very far:D

on one of my other accounts, Cate Blanchett has made me $150,000

I dont wanna miss the band waggon so i have bought

[tedward]

hmmmm - Im thinking it will stay around 90-100 if that, for the next few weeks. Its not due out for years is it?

I could be horribly worng though.

[IdahoMR2man]

That and I didn't think it was a sure thing yet. For me to be able to buy it I'd have to get rid of close to everything I have. No way. I've got too many good investments.

[dr_evil]

Originally posted by HeadHunter

i sold 20,000 of the butterfly effect. And I managed to buy 10830 shares of The Hobbit.

[TyRoss]

Thing is coming off of the success of ROTK stocks this should rise in price fairly quickly.

I'd say it'll probobly hover around $120.00 for quite some time.\

Also note that in the write up they said they were getting a lot of requests to make the stock... tells me it's gonna be popular.

[IdahoMR2man]

I emailed them the other day about The Last Unicorn but it doesn't look like they've done anything about it.

Until the movie is released, the prices are much like a real stock market. The values represent what traders feel the movie will make in its first four weeks. Also important to know is that stocks are adjusted after the first weekend they're out. The adjusted price (for Friday release movies) is equal to the movie's weekend box office gross x 2.9. From there, the price fluctuates based on the traders' four week predictions.

[equipe]

I Just bought 5000 of The Brothers Grimm. I'm not too sure how well this movie will do but to me it sounds great.

[PsychoMike]

Originally posted by HeadHunter

For stars it is like the real stock market. But after the 4th week of a new movie their value is adjusted based on the average box office of their last 5 films. (TAG adjustments)
