Responses:

thus far, it's a slower burn than HSX on the gain side, but nothing challenging enough for me to not want to throw some real money in. - TFox Feb 5, 18:49 8
- depends how you play. so far, most positions traders take overvalue a lot of stocks relative to the HSX stock - dj roomba Feb 5, 18:52 5
  - i'm playing the way i would if i had real money in there: relatively long term plays. -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 19:04 4
    - i'm going to put real money in and that's not how i would play based on the practice rounds so far - dj roomba Feb 5, 19:07 3
      - like when one starts out on the hsx. the only big fast money is on news and just before open and opening weekend, really. -- nm - amandize Feb 5, 19:12
      - is there shorting? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 5, 19:11 1
        
        if there's a buyer on the other side with shares, yes -- nm - dj roomba Feb 5, 19:12
- (is there a halt?) -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 18:51 1
  - no, which is why playing the short term, especially openers, can be pretty profitable - dj roomba Feb 5, 18:53
the tv previews were cut *so* well. I can't see less than high teens for it. -- nm - amandize Feb 5, 18:45 18
- early numbers are $10 mil Friday -- nm - dj roomba Feb 5, 18:46 17
  - *THIS* is the pos that'll beat Avatar? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 5, 18:49 6
    - it's a function of time more than anything, really. and offering a movie that serves the XX chromies rather than the XYs with dragalong XXs. -- nm - amandize Feb 5, 18:53 5
      - If it was Valentine's Day or wahtever that mass-appeal thing is next week, okay...but this looks awful - Will Hunting Feb 5, 18:57 4
        
        so did Twilight/New Moon. -- nm - dj roomba Feb 5, 18:58 3
        
        Is the Dear John book popular? - Will Hunting Feb 5, 19:00 2
        
        but if Twilight does $100 million on the wknd you only have to tap into 25% of that market to have this kind of opening -- nm - dj roomba Feb 5, 19:01
        
        there've been no *date* movies for eons. see? -- nm - amandize Feb 5, 19:01
  - they cut the last two shows tonight at my local AMC because of the snow. -- nm - Max Feb 5, 18:49 8
    - but is this a huge consideration? the take thus far that's used to extrapolate the numbers estimated - amandize Feb 5, 18:52 7
      - I'm just saying it's that much more impressive because of the lost income. -- nm - Max Feb 5, 19:04
      - Avatar's opening weekend was estimated to be down between 10 and 20% because of the last noreaster -- nm - dj roomba Feb 5, 18:54 5
        
        No, it wasn't. -- nm - David Feb 5, 19:09 2
        
        it did $73 million without the midnight sneaks. without the snow storm, it probably does $80 to 85 -- nm - dj roomba Feb 5, 19:11 1
        
        It did $77 million and you're equally wrong about the other thing. -- nm - David Feb 5, 19:15
        
        right, so you say 10 mill and I say down one mill. that's 10%. see? -- nm - amandize Feb 5, 18:55 1
        
        i'm math dumb -- nm - dj roomba Feb 5, 18:55
  - I'm not surprised at all. the blitz on my tv has been impressive. -- nm - amandize Feb 5, 18:49
