Harry Potter Fever

Well yesterday my shares of The Island (opening in 5 days, go see it!) were dropping due to HSX traders losing faith in summer movies. So I started browsing around HSX to see if I could find another place to put my money for a while. To ride the hype surrounding the book release, it seems HSX released and IPO of the movie stock for the Half-Blood Prince (set to open in 2009?). I saw that a lot of people were buying the stock so I moved all my money there. To my surprise the stock jumped H$17 this morning! Yea!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had a huge weekend, adjusting its price up H$26. I can't believed I missed out on another great opening weekend. I have gone the normal HSX route and moved my money from Harry Potter to short Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, hoping for the price to drop by tomorrow morning. Then, with my faith renewed in summer movies I hope to get back into The Island before its opening weekend and hope for the best. Wish me luck.

UPDATE: Between noon and 1pm the price of The Island had gone up H$4. Forget shorting Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I'm back in.

Arrgh... I didn't log on the HSX all weekend and just noticed that The Island dropped so much. Hmmm... maybe I'll get some more...
