8/27/10 Picks

James Purefoy - JPURE

Not appearing in an HSX film for 6 years is the surest way to drop your price well below your actual value. JPURE has not appeared in a HSX film since 2004's Vanity Fair, and thus his stock price has fallen to $10.24, well below his TAG of $23,302,643. JPURE's next film will be PIXAR's first live action film, John Carter of Mars. Even if Carter is a flop, which is unlikely due to PIXAR's unmatched track record, JPURE will go up in value, hitting a minimum of $22.35, for a gain of $12.11 per share, more than doubling in value. And if Carter is half as big of a success as PIXAR's other films, JPURE will be the buy of the year.

8/20/10 Picks

Colin Farrell - CFARR

Next summer, CFARR will appear in Something Borrowed, pushing the excellent but low-grossing film In Bruges out of TAG range. In Bruges grossed $7,757,130, meaning CFARR will drop $1.55 from its TAG price of $14,317,994, to a price of $12.77 per share. Something Borrowed is currently trading at $35.73. The film would only need to gross $7.4 million to maintain CFARR at its current price of $14.25. If you think this is worth the risk (and any savvy HSX investor should think so), then this is a great buy.
