Buying/Selling basics

Buying

Buying is one of several ways you can trade on the Hollywood Stock Exchange®. By buying a MovieStock®, for example, you are betting that the price will rise. If the price does rise, you've made money. If the price falls, you've lost money. Reading news and interacting with the community is a great way to keep track of what may be a good buy on the exchanges.

Selling

Selling is another one of several ways you can trade on the Exchange. Sell when you think a security has already peaked in its price. In the case of selling, you must have already owned the item prior to selling it.

How does a movie's opening weekend box office affect the price of a stock?

A MovieStock will adjust in price after its opening weekend in order to bring the expected box office gross in line with the actual box office gross. On average, a film makes 2.8 times its opening weekend box office during its first four weeks of wide release. Typically, a MovieStock is halted on its wide release date and price adjusted on the Sunday of its opening weekend.
