Okay, I just joined up and got my profile set up, sold most of my auto stocks, bought some new ones based on ingenious system: Actors with my first name and a movie about a guy with my first name. I may be losing now, but just you wait, us Bens will prevail!

Can't be worse than Iceshadow. He bought 50,000 shares of Are We Done Yet?

:x It's those ****ing actors! My movies are pretty decent, but if I sell my actors then I'm going to lose a lot of "money", should I take the loss, or hold on and hope for better days? ARRGGH!

Which actors are giving you problems?

Investing in actors feels safer for me, but you have to really think about who you're investing in and what's on their schedule.

Christian Bale, Matt Damon, Joaquin Phoenix, and Samuel L. Jackson.

I expect Damon to go back up once we get closer to Ocean's 13, and hopefully Bale and Phoenix are just in a slump right now, Sammy has been a let down so far.

I haven't really researched the rest of those guys, but SLJ's decline is most possibly a direct result of the underwhelming box office performance of Black Snake Moan. If it hasn't cashed out yet, then it will probably drastically affect his TAG when it does.
 
Yes... Black Snake Moan was apparently a bad investment. I've lost the majority of my money through that one. I think I'm about to cut my losses and just sell the *****.
 
Anyone gonna risk those American Idol TV stocks?

They should bring in more TV stocks.
 
I'm now up by 119k today. Watch out, Proj!

Also decided to buy me some Nathan Fillon again. I bought and sold him a week or so ago for a small tidy profit.

Good thing I didn't really invest much of anything in him. Only lost $1,809 dollars to that correction.

Guess the whole Indiana Jones thing got traders too excited.

Tomorrow, if I'm not mistaken.

Got rid of Kevin Smith, Offside, Torso, Jinx, Stellan Skarsgard and Tyrese Gibson, Will Eisner's Spirit, The Host, Laura Linney, Donald Sutherland, The Flash and Rainbow Six.

I just sold Angels and Demons for a loss. Haven't thought of anything to buy yet. May just keep the cash.

If I recommend anything it would be Hard Boiled, which is only $1.35 a share now. I bought it at $1.74 so it's a loss for me so far, but I think the Frank Miller name will take it far.

EDIT: I can't believe Spirit's so cheap. Good call, I'll buy some of that as well.

I wouldn't go so far as to consider a cheap going share value as a standalone justification for recommendation. While I was able to score large amounts of money with Jinx and The Host, I lost a lot of money to Hoax.

True, at a low value it's hard to imagine such stocks could get any LOWER --- there's nowhere to go but up! --- but it takes a large purchase to recoup any kind of decent investment.

On average, share prices change in the realm of single digits, and that makes things a bit risky, because the percentage rates are different for lower-valued stock than higher-valued stock. For example, if a $1.50 priced stock goes up by $.50, you make a whopping 33% gain that day. But if it goes DOWN by $.50 then you've taken a huge 33% loss.

I didn't recommend it, I sold it. At a tidy profit too, just before it plummeted down to 16.64. I'd probably wait until it bottoms out a little more or if there're any other news regarding it before buying.

Well, you had it, and mentioning it just jogged my memory that it existed. I think the success of 300 just makes it that much more viable.

I'm not too worried about my percentages being down on a falling stock. I'm more concerned about my total value at the moment. If I'm making money the percentages will take care of themselves. Besides, I have a couple movies making that up for me. Although I'm about to lose 300.
