I caught this during the amazing USA win in the 4×100m Freestyle. These French swimmers need to scrub their backs a little more. A lot of dirt accumulates there…and it seems to funnel directly into his

The Olympics Have Begun post a comment
The 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China have begun (yesterday, actually)! Unfortunately, this means many unique people will crawl out of their hovels to show their national pride in strange ways:
Even so, I look forward to seeing the USA Basketball “Redeem Team” take it to Yao and his unknown cohorts. Also, it seems like no one cares about any of the USA swimmers except Michael Phelps. I feel bad for Ryan Lochte since he is good but is considered a second-rate Phelps to the Olympic marketing team. I’ve also never heard of him until a couple days ago.

HSX Status Update, Summer 2008 Edition post a comment
Ok! It’s been about 2 years since my last HSX update. Since then, I’ve shifted my focus from the micromanagement of many StarBonds to the a few post-adjusting MovieStocks. In general, movies will never fully make it to their multiplier (usually 2.8) in 4 weeks, so it’s almost always around an automatic H$1million profit if you short 50k shares (see HULK2 and HANCK). You don’t even have to pay the selling commission if you hold out until the final delist. The most exciting part of the summer is that we get lots of highly hyped and marketed action (i.e. FRONT LOADED!) movies. So the initial adjust is way way higher than what it will eventually make. So…profit! The key to this strategy is to only go for the big movies that make a lot but have low review scores. Low scores mean short legs and a 50%+ drop week-to-week.
In my personal portfolio, for those curious, my top profiting MovieStocks are: TFRM2, HPOT7, IRNM2, UP, and CAPAM. These total around H$25 million net gain! And here’s my 90-day portfolio movement (heavy changes recently because of BATM2 not exactly going my way…):
I am currently ranked 6532 and in the top 99.14 percentile with a total portolio value of H$260 million!
Time for a New Theme post a comment
After having K2 for quite a while now, I’ve decided to use a new theme called “Andrea” since I was upgrading to WordPress 2.6 anyway. Not many people actually read my blog and I thought I might as well try to make it faster for those of you who actually make it to my little nook on the Internet.
Yes, K2 is quite robust, but it just seems to try to do too much and development is too complex for me to keep it up-to-date…or maybe that’s just my laziness.
I’m still making some changes, but let me know what you think!
