Post Adjust Bond Show (5/15/12)

Tue, 15 May 2012 11:48:08 -0700

Post Adjust Bond Show
(5/15/12)

Chris Brown (CHBRO)
Think Like A Man

CHBRO's next adjust on 2/18/13 will add Battle of the Year: The Dream Team (currently trading at $23.39). At current prices, their next adjust would go down 7.80 points.

Gabrielle Union (GUNIO)
Think Like A Man

GUNIO has no upcoming projects listed.

Kevin Hart (KHART)
Think Like A Man

KHART's next adjust on 5/21/12 will drop Meet Dave ($11,802,056) and add The Five-Year Engagement (currently trading at $27.66). At current prices, their next adjust would go up 3.17 points.

Michael Ealy (MEALY)
Think Like A Man

MEALY has no upcoming projects listed.

Meagan Good (MGOOD)
Think Like A Man

MGOOD's next adjust on 11/19/12 will drop Saw V ($56,729,973) and add The Baytown Disco (currently trading at $3.36). At current prices, their next adjust would go down 10.67 points.

Regina Hall (RHALL)
Think Like A Man

RHALL has no upcoming projects listed.

Romany Malco (RMALC)
Think Like A Man

RMALC's next adjust on 7/23/12 will drop Blades of Glory ($118,153,533) and add A Little Bit of Heaven (currently trading at $0.04). At current prices, their next adjust would go down 23.62 points.

Tim Allen (TALLE)
Chimpanzee

Technically, TALLE has no upcoming projects listed.

TALLE's current TV show, Last Man Standing was just renewed for a second season which will limit his availability.

It was announced, a little over a year ago, that TALLE and THANK would be starring in a movie based off of Disneyland's Jungle Cruise attraction, but the world (and Disney) have changed in the last year. 'Cowboys And Aliens' caused Disney to reevaluate all of the projects that were in development. John Carter was a massive failure.

Disney already has three other attraction based movies in development (Magic Kingdom ~ what happens at Disneyland after hours; Tomorrowland ~ with Dwayne Johnson attached; and a recently announced movie based on the Matterhorn attraction).

There has been no news about the Jungle Cruise movie since it was announced over a year ago. It would not wise to invest in TALLE's next adjust right now since there is no new news.

Taraji P. Henson (TPHEN)
Think Like A Man

TPHEN's next adjust on 11/19/12 will drop Date Night ($98,711,404) and add The Good Doctor (currently trading at $0.13). At current prices, their next adjust would go down 19.72 points.

Taylor Schilling (TSCHI)
The Lucky One

TSCHI's next adjust on 11/5/12 will add Argo (currently trading at $37.78). At current prices, their next adjust would go up 12.59 points.

Tim Story (TSTOR)
Think Like A Man

TSTOR has no upcoming projects listed.

Zac Efron (ZEFRO)
The Lucky One

ZEFRO has two wrapped projects with no release dates set. He will be dropping a $1 movie and both wrapped projects are priced higher than that, hinting that his next adjust is likely to go upwards.

IPO Thoughts: Riley Keough (RKEOU)

Tue, 15 May 2012 09:48:29 -0700

IPO Thoughts:
Riley Keough (RKEOU)

Today we get an IPO for a true up and comer. She has appeared in one movie and has a handful of movies already on the way.

Riley Keough (RKEOU)
TAG: $1,190,578 Price: $20

Your investment in this IPO will be based on how well you think Magic Mike will perform. It needs to perform about $5-10 more than its current price for RKEOU to adjust to her IPO price.

The Math:

RKEOU will be adding her second movie into her TAG, so we use this formula:

(Movie 1 + Movie 2) divided by 3
= New TAG (what they will adjust to).

The Magic Number:

RKEOU would need to make $56.43 for their next release in order for their TAG to adjust to their IPO price of $20.

If their next release makes more than that, their price would adjust upwards... less than that, and their price would adjust downwards.

The Next Adjust:

RKEOU's next adjust on 7/23/12 will add Magic Mike (currently trading at $49.83). At current prices, their next adjust would go down 2.20 points

The Adjust Range:

If Magic Mike makes X,
then RKEOU would adjust to Y

40 = $14.52
45 = $16.19
50 = $17.86
55 = $19.52
60 = $21.19

Happy Dead Delist Day!

Starbond dead delists happened yesterday (link), just like The HSX Dude had predicted (link).

The Bucket List keeps track of starbonds that are eligible to be delisted by HSX because they have not appeared in and/or released a movie in over 3 years.

The following starbonds were dead delisted (cashed out):

    - Alfre Woodard (AWOOD)
    - Bijou Phillips (BPHIL)
    - Burt Reynolds (BREYN)
    - Daryl Hannah (DHANN)
    - Debra Messing (DMESS)
    - Felicity Huffman (FHUFF)
    - Freddie Prinze Jr. (FPRIN)
    - Justin Chatwin (JCHAT)
    - Jennifer Love Hewitt (JLHEW)
    - James Marsters (JMRST)
    - Jensen Ackles (JNACK)
    - Jonas Brothers (JONAS)
    - Jared Padalecki (JPADA)
    - Mischa Barton (MBART)
    - Morris Chestnut (MCHES)
    - Monica Potter (MPOTT)
    - Michael Rooker (MROOK)
    - Marla Sokoloff (MSOKO)
    - Sophia Myles (SMYLE)
    - Victor Rasuk (VRASU)

Upcoming Movie Posters

I keep a collection of upcoming movie posters at The HSX Dude's Facebook page for those of you who might be interested. Movie posters are one of the factors that help me decide how successful a movie will be. Movie posters are like the project's business card; if it is cheap and cheesy ...the project most likely is too. If they put a lot of original and creative time into making the poster a work of art, it is most likely they also did the same with the movie.

You Didn't Call And
Report Your Box Office...

Some movies are so small that they do not report box office. Those movies that have opened in theaters but do not report box office are usually delisted at HSX $.01, the starbonds are usually detached from these movies and they do not adjust for them.

Happy Dead Delist Day!

Fri, 11 May 2012 08:11:17 -0700

Happy Dead Delist Day!

HSX routinely cleans up the stock listings by dead delisting movie projects that have no forward movement in a long time and by dead delisting starbonds who have not opened a movie in three years (aka The Bucket List).

To Delist... Or Not To Delist...
That Is The Question

I have a strong feeling that HSX will be performing starbond dead delists today. If for some reason the dead delists are not performed today, I expect them to be done very soon.

HSX cleans up the stock listings from time to time and delists, at their discretion, starbonds who are no longer actively making movies. The Bucket List is a list that is updated each month, that lists the starbonds who qualify to be delisted (at HSX's discretion).

Paramedics Arrived On The Scene Just In Time

The following three starbonds are currently listed on The Bucket List, but have announced recent projects, that are already scheduled to be listed at HSX, which saves them from delist and will take them off The Bucket List:

Alex Proyas (APROY)

APROY has just signed up to direct a new project that will be listed at HSX soon.

Jaime Pressly (JPRES)

JPRES has been attached to 6 Month Rule, which IPOs next Tuesday.

Nick Cannon (NCANN)

It was just announced that NCANN will be directing his first movie.

Most Likely To Be Buried

The Jonas Brothers (JONAS)

Working on a new album followed by a tour.

Jensen Ackles (JNACK)

Supernatural has been renewed for another season.

James Marsters (JMRST)

Debra Messing (DMESS)

Is currently in the cast of 'Smash', which has been renewed for a second season.

Freddie Prinze Jr (FPRIN)

Mischa Barton (MBART)
