Citi Investment Research cuts rating on Disney stock. Claims HSX estimates on THOR and CAPAM are $100M too high. -- (link) - not2fast Apr 26, 11:51 30
- funny, but I'm still bummed -- nm - ceregon Apr 26, 12:04 1
  - stupid enter key...still bummed I can't put real money in box office futures...I could have retired 10 years early -- nm - ceregon Apr 26, 12:04
- HSX prices predict box office after 4 weekends of wide release, correct? Not a total? Or is that close enough not to matter? -- nm - mara Apr 26, 11:57 18
  - the analyst accounts for that in his calculations to get his estimate for total box office -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 12:02
  - Technically, HSX prices predict the opening weekend estimate times 2.7 for normal weekends. - ty97 Apr 26, 12:01 13
    - Course, this is also if you believe HSX sells the stock price as their data - Will Hunting Apr 26, 12:03 2
      - This is what I'm thinking - that the numbers in the article are not references to the HSX prices. -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 12:04 1
        
        they are derived from the HSX data. -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 12:08
    - And times of the year, IIRC. Summer blockbuster films have much shorter legs than winter films, for example. -- nm - con_carne Apr 26, 12:03
    - old data. but I still think it might be high. -- nm - amanda jones Apr 26, 12:01 8
      - Thor hasn't been priced higher than 209.05 any time this year. I wonder if HSX is putting out its own full-run estimates? -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 12:03 7
        
        maybe they have formulas that extrapolate from the 4 week to full run? we just don't see it? -- nm - Andie Apr 26, 12:08 1
        
        Sounds logical. -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 12:09
        
        then what's the point of the game?? hey speaking of, I am going to start playing the movies market again. no bonds, just movies. - amanda jones Apr 26, 12:06 2
        
        I started playing a little more actively a few weeks ago. And have promptly lost money. (how?!) - ty97 Apr 26, 12:07 1
        
        that was the long answer version of: yes -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 12:08
        
        Likewise, CAPAM's max is 226.25 - ty97 Apr 26, 12:04 1
        
        Weirdly enough, if you apply the 2.8 multiplier to those highs instead of 2.7, you come up with 216 and 234. -- nm - Jelly Apr 26, 12:05
  - they still do the 2.8 adjust oagainst opening weekend BO IIRC, only they do the adjust on Saturday or something equally stupid now -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 11:59 2
    - or is it 2.7 now? -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 12:00 1
      - 2.7. -- nm - Jelly Apr 26, 12:01
- I'll take 'headlines you did not expect' for $1000, Alex -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 11:56
- it wasn't me! -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 11:53
- *NOT* DC!!! -- nm - remlick Apr 26, 11:53
- Why am I picturing Max Keiser cackling maniacally? I mean... more than usual. -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 26, 11:52
- I would be amused if they are right. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 11:52 3
  - Does Citi have market analysts who specialize in movie projections? Citi, being Citi, I guess they do. - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 26, 11:53 2
    - *whistles innocently* - znufrii Apr 26, 11:57 1
      - "in short"?! -- nm - TFox Apr 26, 11:58
- I'll wait till RazorHawk tells me what to do -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 11:51
nubbah, it's *nuts.* how can packing for a trip on which I'm taking *nothing* be so stressful? - amanda jones Apr 26, 11:49 1
- I like what I see in this locker.....YUUUUUUUP! -- nm - Dave Hester Apr 26, 11:51
SITMOP? I saw this tweeted over the weekend and just now got around to reading it: weird upward pricing spiral on Amazon results in multi-million $ -- (link) - mara Apr 26, 11:48 1
- Fascinating -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 11:53
LIR: Don Homer. Yes, I'm going to be dropping my Flickr Pro account when it expires in October. Smugmug has much more refined private sharing options - oblique Apr 26, 11:47 8
- I love Smugmug, though I only use it for e-commerce. Their customer support is wonderful. -- nm - Fuzzy Apr 26, 12:07
- Flickr does that, as well. Guest Passes ... and it gives you the ability to invalidate a guest pass if you suspect it has been compromised. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 11:48 6
  - Except I don't always know everyone directly who I would want to share with (example: my kids theater parents). With Smugmug I can create a theater - oblique Apr 26, 11:49 5
    - ... which is what flickr guest passes do -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 11:50 4
      - (The fact that this functionality is buried in Flickr and highlighted in Smugmug is indicative that you're probably making the right move, though) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 11:51 3
        
        I had no idea this feature existed. I like how smugmug does it a little better though because it is at a level above the "set" - oblique Apr 26, 11:57 2
        
        exactly my point. Also, I think flickr has "collections" which can do what you're suggesting. Again, non-intuitively. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 12:04 1
        
        Yes, but you can't Guest Pass the Collections -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 12:09
Fun fun! I've importing a couple of DV tapes I've had lying around since a 2001 vacation. - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 26, 11:46
lyc: i want this grill -- (link) - tRuMAN Apr 26, 11:45 48
- The small thing on the left is a range-style burner right? Very nice. -- nm - con_carne Apr 26, 11:50 1
  - yes. -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 26, 11:50
- disconnect the left side burner except for times you will be using it. I have found these can light when you ignite the main grill -- nm - peglegpete Apr 26, 11:49
- Very nice!!! -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 11:48
- you could roast a whole buffalo on that. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 11:47
- A double? Why? -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 26, 11:47 36
  - He is cooking for Will? -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:47
  - gas to grill burgers on, charcol to slow cook ribs -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 26, 11:47 34
    - are you cooking for an entire church? -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 11:49 25
      - its a 3 burner on the left for propane, most small grills are 2 or 3 burners, so its not very big. - tRuMAN Apr 26, 11:50 22
        
        they're all huge! :) -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 11:52 21
        
        or maybe you just have tiny hands. -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 26, 11:52 20
        
        "he can't even hold a big mac" -- nm - Epiphany Apr 26, 11:53 1
        
        I do have small hands, but not THAT small. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 11:54
        
        look, I'm an effin renter in the northeast. I'm amazed people have space for this shit. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 11:53 17
        
        northeast? I always considered Virginia to be in the South -- nm - peglegpete Apr 26, 11:55 16
        
        its sure as shit not the northeast. -- nm - TFox Apr 26, 12:00 9
        
        you're right. - loosilu Apr 26, 12:01 8
        
        have you ever tried admitting you were wrong without the martyrdom? - TFox Apr 26, 12:02 7
        
        She just did. -- nm - mara Apr 26, 12:04
        
        it's tough not being a martyr when you're holding a AK. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 12:03 5
        
        an AK named "the truth". - TFox Apr 26, 12:04 4
        
        there is literally - loosilu Apr 26, 12:04 3
        
        untrue. - TFox Apr 26, 12:06 2
        
        I've experimented and have yet to find it. - loosilu Apr 26, 12:06 1
        
        deal. -- nm - TFox Apr 26, 12:07
        
        "Midatlantic" -- nm - con_carne Apr 26, 11:58 1
        
        Yeah, that's accurate. I don't know, many people do consider DC to be "Northeast". - loosilu Apr 26, 12:02
        
        me too -- nm - Epiphany Apr 26, 11:55
        
        northern VA is not the South. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 11:55 2
        
        yet, it was their capitol during the Civil war -- nm - peglegpete Apr 26, 11:56 1
        
        you mean Richmond? that's not NoVA. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 11:57
      - He's in KC. If there's one thing they take seriously in KC...it's hating St. Louis. If there was a second thing...it's barbeque. -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 11:50 1
        
        st louis, or just missouri, it depends on what part of KC.. -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 26, 11:51
    - Oh, wow. Hadn't caught that nuance. Slick. -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 26, 11:48 7
      - tis why its awesome. plus its selling at 1/2 of the cost of comparable ones at sears. -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 26, 11:52 6
        
        I saw the pick and figured $500. Shocked to see $299. Great deal. - Jim Apr 26, 11:56 5
        
        its actually $199. -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 26, 11:57 4
        
        Hmmm...comes up $299 for me. Either way...I have a sound system to replace before I get a new grill. -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 11:59 3
        
        hmm, sucks to be you then -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 26, 12:00 2
        
        I also see it as $299. This can only mean one thing, Truman. - con_carne Apr 26, 12:01 1
        
        heh. -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 26, 12:03
- oooh, shiny... - znufrii Apr 26, 11:47
- I saw one with a window once. A *window*. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 11:46
- znu? -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:46 3
  - it wasn't in pastel -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 11:46 2
    - And probably comes complete with hardware. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:47 1
      - *grumble* -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 11:48
Uh oh! It's all oranged up! A fatal error occurred. An error occurred while rolling the board. An administrator has (probably) been notified. - Spawn Apr 26, 11:45 3
- no, not asleep, but I f***ing wish I was -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 11:45 2
  - Had not seen that one. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:46 1
    - On some browsers, it does weeeeird things with the site banner margins ... eventually I'll have to fix that :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 11:49
oh jeezus, I just got a call from someone, complaining...I then IM'ed my cohort about her; except I IM'ed her. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 26, 11:44 15
- Yup. Been there. -- nm - bc/nc Apr 26, 11:53
- yikes -- nm - Epiphany Apr 26, 11:53
- I did that once years ago. - Mel Profit Apr 26, 11:47 5
  - I put " He can't even tie his own shoe laces without permission" - Epiphany Apr 26, 11:55 1
    - "Luckily, he didn't have permission to respond." -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 11:55
  - Sub-poll: Anyone been on the other end of this situation? -- nm - nubby Apr 26, 11:49 1

- Uh oh. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:45
- whoops. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 26, 11:45 5
  - thanfully, I didn't really slag her until I realized the mistake, but jesus, I feel like a tool -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 26, 11:45 4
    - "So that total hose-beast we hate just called... uh... luckily I was on the phone with you so I didn't have to take her call." -- nm - nubby Apr 26, 11:48
    - you dope. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 11:46
    - I will no longer read your comic strip, sir. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 26, 11:46
    - I didn't really slag her until I realized the mistake, and then I poured it on!!! -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:46
