10/30/09 Picks

Rob Minkoff - RMINK

Once again, a film director offers one of the best possible HSX buys. Rob Minkoff has four films in development, according to IMDB, and has so far released three films this decade. Yet his stock has fallen to $48.89, far below his TAG of $83,152,406. Upon his next film's release, his TAG will adjust to a minimum of $66.52, a gain of $17.63 per share. Granted, this stock will take awhile to collect on, and you shouldn't invest in RMINK if you don't have a large port that can afford to have some money tied up for awhile. But considering that Minkoff tends to direct big family films, his low price offers a great buy, even though you'll have to hold onto it for awhile.

10/29/09 Picks

Bill Condon - BCOND

It's not certain what director Bill Condon's next film will be, but it's likely that at some point in the near future he will film a biopic of Richard Pryor. When he does, his stock will adjust, creating a big gain. BCOND will reach a minimum of $30.00, a gain of $21.19 from its currently deflated price of $8.81. It could take a couple years until the film adjusts, but since BCOND will adjust well over 200%. A gain that big is always worth the investment.

10/28/09 Picks

Woody Harrelson - WHARR

Okay, this one's a bit of a cheat. While you're guaranteed to make money on WHARR, you won't make much. The current price is $27.17, and when WHARR adjusts after the release of 2012, it will adjust to $27.66. This is only a gain of $0.50 per share, usually not worth the investment. However, 2012 has the potential to be a huge hit, and could earn you big money. 2012 is currently trading at $159.85. If 2012 makes even half of that the box office, WHARR would adjust to $43.66. This would be a gain of $16.49 per share. So you're guaranteed to make a little money on WHARR, but you stand to make much, much more.

10/24/09 Picks

Rob Corddry - RCORD

This Daily Show alum will be appearing in Hot Tub Time Machine in March of next year, which will knock Semi-Pro out of TAG range. He is currently trading at $24.72, while his TAG is $35,471,436. After RCORD adjusts, it will reach a minimum of $28.78, a gain of $4.06 (16.4%). Not a huge gain, but definitely worth investing for a few months.

10/20/09 Picks

Rebecca Hall - RBHAL

Not all stocks can offer the huge gains that yesterday's pick promises. But if you build up a portfolio of many sure things, you can make big money. Rebecca Hall will not be appearing in a film until September, 2010, when she will appear in The Town. Her current price is $16.40, but after RBHAL adjusts upon the release of The Town, her stock will hit a minimum of $19.02, a gain of 16% per share. This stock will take a year to collect, but if you have a large port and plenty of money, a 16% per gain year is far greater than what you would make in interest if you kept the stock as cash.

10/19/09 Picks

David Spade - DSPAD

This stock won't adjust until July, 2010, after the release of Grown Ups, but there will be big gains . DSPAD is currently trading at $16.41, while his TAG is $51,069,274. When DSPAD adjusts, it will hit $46.52, a gain of $30.11 per share, nearly tripling in value. And Grown Ups, co-starring Adam Sandler, has the potential to be a major hit, which would drive DSPAD up even further. Though this stock will take awhile to appreciate, any stock that will almost triple in value (and could do far more) in a year is a must buy.

10/17/09 Picks

Pierce Brosnan - PBROS

This one's a bit complicated, but bear with me. Pierce Brosnan's price is currently $16.47, while is TAG is $31,665,076. He has two films releasing wide on the same date next February, Remember Me and Percy Jackson & the Olympians. This will knock two films out of TAG range, The Matador and Deep Blue. Thus, when PBROS adjusts after these two films release, it will adjust to a minimum of $29.13, a gain of $12.66 per share. What makes this stock particularly attractive is that Remember Me stars current heartthrob Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame, while Percy Jackson is currently trading at $58.43. Both of these films have the potential to gross big, which could push the stock well above $29.13. But regardless, this is a safe investment with big, assured gains.

10/16/09 Picks

Phillip Noyce - PNOYC

Phillip Noyce last directed 2006's Catch a Fire, and the gap in time has caused his stock to fall from a TAG of $30,259,287 to $12.77. When PNOYC adjusts, it will reach a minimum of $17.99, a gain of $5.22 (40.9%) per share in about 8 months. It's a long time to hold a stock, but the gain is significant enough that if you can afford to tie up a little money, this is definitely worth the investment.

10/15/09 Picks

Rob Schneider - RSCHN

Not surprisingly, Rob Schneider will be appearing in the upcoming Adam Sandler comedy Grown Ups. RSCHN is a depressed $45.60, while his TAG is $61,141,667. Once RSCHN adjusts, it will reach a minimum of $56.69, a gain of $11.04 per share in less than a year. And if Grown Ups is as successful as most of Adam Sandler's big comedies, the stock could soar even higher. But there is guaranteed money to be made in RSCHN whether Grown Ups is a hit or not.

10/14/09 Picks

Rob Reiner- RREIN

Rob Reiner is set to release his new film Flipped in September, 2010. This is over a year away, so investing in RREIN is a long-term investment, but there are big gains to be made. RREIN currently trades at $20.06, well below the TAG of $37,582,699. Once Flipped is released, RREIN will correct to $34.74, a gain of $14.68 (73.2%) in about a year. A year is a long time to not have access to money, but 20,000 shares would only cost $401,200, so if you can afford to lose this money you will make a big return.

10/13/09 Picks

Betty Thomas - BTHOM

When the Alvin & the Chipmunks sequel is released in December, BTHOM will correct from a severely depressed price of $25.22, far below her TAG of $59,301,108 to a minimum of $51.06, a gain of at least $25.84 per share in a few months. What makes this stock even more appealing is that Alvin & the Chipmunks is currently trading at $129.14. This means that HSX traders predict big success for this film. BTHOM is a guaranteed big return, but if Alvin does well, BTHOM can make your month.

10/12/09 Picks

Bobby & Peter Farrelly - FARRE

The Farrelly Brothers last released a film in October, 2007. which has caused the price of FARRE to fall to $27.09 from the TAG of $39,420,787. When their next film is released, The Three Stooges, FARRE will adjust to a minimum of $36.70, a gain of $9.61 per share (35.5%). The Three Stooges has been in development for a long time, so the release could always end up getting pushed back beyond the December, 2010 date posted by HSX. But even if this film takes years to be released, a 35.5% per share gain is worth the wait.

10/10/09 Picks

Nathan Fillion - NFILL

Nathan Fillion is appearing in the film Trucker, released yesterday. NFILL is currently trading at $10.25, more than $7 per share below the TAG value of $17,392,765. When NFILL adjusts, it will reach a minimum of $13.04, a gain of $2.79 per share (27.2%). This isn't a huge gain, but a gain of 27.2% in three months is always worth the investment, especially since you only have to tie up $205,000 to make this investment.

10/8/2009 Picks

F. Gary Gray - FGGRA

Director F. Gary Gray has not released a film since 2005's Be Cool, but the release of Law Abiding Citizen this month will help fix his overly depressed stock. FGGRA has fallen to $39.86, but once Law Abiding Citizen is released his price will correct to a minimum of $46.56, a guaranteed gain of $6.70 per share, a gain of 16.8%. HSX traders currently have Law Abiding Citizen at $38.93; if the film performs even half as well as HSX traders believe it will, another $4 will be added to the share price. This is a good buy with a quick turnaround.

10/7/09 Picks

Peter Dinklage - PDINK

Peter Dinklage's appearance in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian helped shoot his TAG up, but his stock has sagged in the past year. It has fallen to $16.17 from a TAG of $40,921,610. When he next appears in Saint John of Las Vegas in November, his stock will correct to $40.80, more than doubling in value for a gain of $24.63 per share, in a few months.

10/6/09 Picks Part 2

Adrian Grenier - AGREN

I'm not going to lie, I was tempted to post Vincent Chase - VCHAS. The Entourage star is soon to appear in Adventures of Power, displacing Drive Me Crazy from TAG range. This will drive AGREN from $12.30 to $25.21, more than doubling in about three months. Adventures of Power probably won't gross Aquaman like money, but even if it makes Medellin like money, you will make big money on AGREN.

10/6/09 Picks

Keanu Reeves - KREEV

Yesterday's pick offered big, guaranteed money. These easy no-brainers are few and far between. Yet plenty of money can be made with sure-thing starbonds by holding long scores of stocks guaranteed to make a few dollars.

Keanu Reeves will soon appear in the indie Private Lives of Pippa Lee, displacing the indie Thumbsucker from TAG range. KREEV currently trades at $28.49, almost $4.50 per share less than his TAG of $32,981,296. When his new film is released, KREEV will reach $32.72, a gain of $4.23 per share in a few months. This won't make you millions, but a portfolio full of stocks like KREEV will make you a fortune on HSX.

10/5/09 Picks

Nia Long - NLONG

After the time she spent playing Will Smith's wife on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Nia Long appeared in many films. She has cooled off in recent years, and her last film was 2007's Are We Done Yet? She is in the new Chris Rock documentary Good Hair, which should help correct the overly-depressed price of the stock.

NLONG is currently at $17.62, a fraction of the TAG value of $52,669,135. After the release of Good Hair, NLONG will correct to $49.99, a gain of a whopping $32.37 per share. This is a near tripling of the value, and if you buy the maximum number of shares, you will gain $647,400 in only a few months, while tying up only $352,400 of your port.

10/4/09 Picks

Jason Flemyng - JFLEM

I limit postings on HSXpicks to sure-thing stocks. It's fun to go for the sure things that guarantee you many dollars per share gain. But other times, you can take a small sure-thing gain, with the potential for much more.

JFLEM is currently at $36.70, below the TAG of $49,295,676. When Clash of the Titans comes out in March, JFLEM will reach a minimum of $40.68, a respectable, though by no means amazing gain of just under $4 per share (10.8%). However, his next film Clash of the Titans has potential to be a big hit. HSX traders have priced it to $101.49. If the film performs to even half of that level, JFLEM would hit $50.68, a much more substantial gain. But even if Clash fails, there is solid money to be made on JFLEM.

10/3/09 Picks

Joe Johnston - JOJOH

Joe Johnston is directing the upcoming film The Wolfman, coming out in early 2010. Johnston hasn't made a film in almost six years, which has caused his stock price to fall. His price is $57.90, significantly below his TAG of $93,712,259. When The Wolfman is released, JOJOH will adjust to $70.28, a gain of $12.38 per share. Of course, if The Wolfman does as well as Universal Pictures is hoping, the stock could shoot up from there. If The Wolfman grosses $50 million, the stock price would reach $82.78, a $24.38 per share gain. But even if the film fails completely, there is big money to be made off of JOJOH.

10/1/09 Picks

Cherry Jones - CJONE

When I see a starbond trading nearly $32 a share below its TAG, my first assumption is that the performer was in a huge hit movie that will be moving out of TAG range, and traders are getting out when they can. When this is the case, there is little money to be made unless you buy early. The other likely culprit for these circumstances is a performer who hasn't appeared in a film in a long time, causing investors to sell their shares in order to pursue more lucrative investments. In these cases, if you are able to buy the starbond before the market notices the depressed value of a stock, you can make big money.

Cherry Jones last appeared in 2006's Swimmers, but will be appearing in Amelia in October. While the TAG is currently $107,462,577, CJONE's price is a significantly deflated $75.75. Part of the reason for this is that Amelia will push the very successful Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood out of TAG range. But even though that film grossed just under $70 million, CJONE is so deflated that there is money to be made, even if Amelia doesn't make a dime. Once CJONE adjusts after the release of Amelia, the stock will reach a price of $93.54, a gain of $17.79 per share. If you max out on CJONE, that's an easy $355,800 in about a month.
