9/8/10 Picks

Keanu Reeves - KREEV

It's been nearly two years since KREEV has appeared in a TAG'ged film, which has caused his price to fall to $23.24 from a TAG of $32,981,296. His next film to leave TAG range is Thumbsucker, which grossed just over $1 million. Thus, when KREEV adjusts upon his next film's release, it will hit a guaranteed minimum of $32.72 per share, a gain of $9.48 per share, or 40.1%. It may take awhile for KREEV to adjust, but if you can buy the maximum number of shares, you'll see your investment jump from $464,800 to at least $654,400 guaranteed.

9/7/10 Picks

Vincent Cassel - VCASS

VCASS is appearing in two installments of the French series Mesrine. Both are currently in limited release. Though neither is expected to do big box office, VCASS's price is $21.34, well below his TAG of $36,897,995. When VCASS adjusts for the first Mesrine film in mid-November, VCASS will adjust to a guaranteed minimum of $35.91, a gain of $14.57 per share, or 68.3% in less than 3 months. Make sure to sell the stock quickly after the adjust, however. While the second Mesrine film will not have a large impact on the TAG, since it will knock the low-grossing Irreversible out of TAG range, the December release The Black Swan will knock Ocean's Twelve out of TAG range, likely sending VCASS back down in value. Buy this stock now, but keep an eye on it.

9/2/10 Picks

Patrick Stewart - PSTEW

PSTEW's stock is currently at 60.39, over $24 below the TAG of $84,931,996. His next film to leave TAG range is Steamboy, which grossed only $410,388. Thus, without this film in TAG, PSTEW would adjust to $84.85, a gain of $24.46 per share over its current price. Since PSTEW will appear in Gnomeo & Juliet in February, 2011, PSTEW will gain a guaranteed minimum of 40.5% in approximately 6 months. It's hard to find a better guaranteed bet than that. And Gnomeo & Juliet, a Disney animated film, will likely do at least decent business with the potential to do great business, and thus PSTEW is a no-brainer investment.

9/1/10 Picks

Dane Cook - DCOOK

DCOOK has not appeared in a film in two years, causing his price to fall to $9.13 from a TAG of $31,740,132. This means that even if his next film does not make a dime, his price will only fall to $26.05, a jump of $16.92 per share, nearly tripling in value. It's not clear when his next TAG worthy film will be released, but IMDB lists a number of films in production. If you have a medium to large portfolio and you can part with the approximately $180,000.00 it would take to max out on DCOOK and hold onto the investment for awhile, you will nearly triple your investment. It may take awhile, but if you have the money, this guaranteed investment is worth your time.

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.

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.
