6/10/2014 Pick - Marion Cotillard

Marion Cotillard (MCOTI) offers a great Hollywood Stock Exchange short opportunity.  Marion Cotillard will adjust today, and her TAG will gain Blood Ties and lose Midnight in Paris.  Blood Ties has earned less than a million dollars, while Midnight in Paris earned $56.82 million, meaning her TAG will fall over $11.00 per share from a current value of $64.47 to around $54 million.  It's too late to get in on this drop, as the stock is frozen, but there's still time to make HSX money by shorting Marion Cotillard.

In 8 weeks, Marion Cotillard will adjust again to account for The Immigrant, dropping Contagion in the process.  The Immigrant currently has grossed at $1,421,859.  Even if it were to gross $5 million, which is unlikely, Contagion grossed $75,638,743, meaning MCOTI would drop approximately $14 a share, to around $40, offering a gain of over $24.

If that's not enough for you and you're willing to hold onto MCOTI even longer, the next movie to drop from TAG range will be The Dark Knight Rises, which grossed almost $450 million.  This offers zero risk, since even if Cotillard's next film were to become the highest grossing film in film history, the stock would maintain its post The Immigrant price due to TAG rules.  Even if the film is successful, this could offer huge opportunities.

As soon as MCOTI is unfrozen, make sure to short sell as many shares of Marion Cotillard as you can afford.  It can offer a good short-term or great long-term profit.

6/8/2014 Pick - Tye Sheridan (TSHER)

Tye Sheridan has only been in a few movies, and so far his stock price is due almost entirely to the grosses of Tree of Life and Mud.  The two films together earned $34.89 million.  His third film on the exchange, David Gordon Green's Joe, just adjusted, and its small gross raised Tye Sheridan's TAG to $11,630,875.  His stock quickly fell, and is currently trading at $7.59.  After his next film is released, which is set to be Scouts vs. Zombies on March 13, 2015, Tye Sheridan will adjust to a minimum of $8.72, a gain of $1.13 or 14.9%.  For those just starting out, this isn't a big enough gain to justify locking up funds for nine months, but for those with plenty of cash to invest, Tye Sheridan offers a nice guaranteed gain and the potential for more.  Scouts vs. Zombies currently trades at $36.97; if the market is correct, Tye Sheridan's stock would jump to $17.97, more than doubling in value.  Tye Sheridan is a good buy for those with big portfolios and cash to invest.
