6/22/10 Picks

Julian McMahon - JMCMA

No matter how long I've been scouting for sure-thing steals on HSX, I'm still amazed by some of the amazing finds that are out there. JMCMA has a very high TAG of $111,489,502, mostly due to his appearance in the two Fantastic Four films. Yet his price is a paltry $40.42. Usually such a disparity only exists when it is unclear when the star's next film will be released. Yet JMCMA will appear in Red in October, a graphic novel adaptation starring Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman. This film has the potential to be a big box-office success, yet even if it is a dismal failure, JMCMA will still be a great investment. If Red does not make a dime, JMCMA will adjust to $83.62, a gain of $43.20 per share. It is rare to find a stock that will more than double in just over four months, but you have such an opportunity here. If you max out on JMCMA, you will gain $864,000 risk free in just over four months. And if Red is a hit, which it certainly could be, JMCMA could make much, much more.

6/9/2010 Picks

Rob Minkoff - RMINK

As I have said many times before, directors are often the best starbonds to buy. Because of the long time between films, their prices tend to fall to ridiculously low prices, offering big gains to the astute investor. Rob Minkoff last released a film in 2008, The Forbidden Kingdom, and thus his stock price has fallen to $50.41 despite a TAG of $83,152,406. This means that even if his next film grosses $0, his TAG will adjust to $66.52, a gain of $16.11 per share. While it's unknown when his next film will be released, Flypaper is currently in production, and IMDB has it listed as coming out in 2011. Therefore, this investment will take awhile to mature, but even if it took two years, a gain of 32% over two years is not bad at all. This is not an investment if you have a small portfolio and are looking to build quickly, but if you have plenty of money and are looking for places to invest, this is a sure thing long-term investment.

6/8/2010 Picks

Jenna Fischer - JFISC

Though JFISC's new film Solitary Man has thus far grossed very little money ($439,889 as of June 6th,) once JFISC adjusts in August, it will be pushing Slither out of TAG range. Even if Solitary Man does not gross another penny, the adjust would push JFISC to $1.47 below the current TAG. However, JFISC is currently trading $7.24 below her TAG, meaning that the adjust, though negative, would actually raise the price to $27.64, a gain of $5.77 per share, or 26.4%, in only a couple of months. Just make sure to sell it as soon as it adjusts, because the next film to fall out of TAG range will be the very successful Blades of Glory.

6/4/10 Picks

Guillermo Del Toro - GDELT

Due to his recent announcement that he will no longer be directing The Hobbit, it seems a strange time to recommend buying GDELT. However, the stock has not suffered much as a result of the announcement (it is currently trading at $34.42, down from a year high of $37.42. GDELT at either price is undervalued. GDELT's TAG is $50,962,564, and the next film to be pushed out of TAG range is The Devil's Backbone, which grossed only $754,749. This means that even if GDELT's next film does not make a dime, his adjusted price would be $50.81, a $16.39 per share gain (47.6%). While directing The Hobbit would likely have more than doubled his price, GDELT is still a good buy. GDELT tends to make a movie every year or two, so although his price likely won't jump as high as it would have for The Hobbit, you can expect a quicker return on your investment than you would have if he continued to stay involved in the development hell of The Hobbit.

Taylor Hackford-THACK

As often happens with directors due to the long lag times between films, THACK is trading well below his TAG. His TAG is at $56,304,117, while his price is a paltry $20.30. His upcoming film The Love Ranch has been saddled with problems and has been delayed, but is set for release on June 30, 2010. Because THACK is trading so low, even if the film does not make a dime, THACK will adjust to a minimum of $42.23, meaning a per share gain of $21.93. So if you max out on THACK, you will gain at least $219,300.00 in a few months at zero risk.
