12/3/10 Picks

Brian Cox - BCOX

BCOX will be appearing in the Planet of the Apes reboot Rise of the Apes, pushing Red (2008) out of TAG range. Red grossed only $3,176, meaning BCOX's TAG will be $17.56, while his price is only $14.78, meaning a guaranteed gain of $0.78 per share. Not too significant, except for the fact that Rise of the Apes has high expectations in the box office. The film is currently trading at $109.11 on HSX. If the film were to hit $100 million, BCOX would adjust to $37.56 per share, a gain of $22.78 per share. But even if the film is a flop, you will have a guaranteed gain with BCOX in just about half a year.

John Hurt - JHURT

I'm going to break the cardinal rule of this blog. I have always offered HSX stock tips that are 100% guaranteed, with no chance at failure. This pick is not 100% guaranteed, but it is too good of an opporunity to ignore, so I feel the need to share it. JHURT has done a number of small films recently, after appearing in the most recent Indiana Jones installment and the Hellboy sequel. However, his next two roles will be in the final Harry Potter films, and there has been no film series more certain to win big HSX bucks than Harry Potter. JHURT is currently trading at $13.28, with a TAG of $437,115. This means that Harry Potter needs to make only approximately $65 million in order to break even. Since the last Harry Potter film topped $300 million, this is definitely worth the bet. If the newest Potter film crossed the $250 million max threshold for Starbonds, JHURT will reach $50.44, a gain of $37.16 per share, nearly three times the current value of JHURT. And with another Potter film on the way early next year, JHURT will likely gain over $80 per share in less than a year. This one is a must buy, even though it's not a sure thing.

Walter Salles - WSALL

Once again, a director offers a great chance for a guaranteed windfall. WSALL's last HSX credit was in 2007, and thus his price has fallen to $4.27, despite having a TAG of $10,549,271. He is currently working on an adaption of the Jack Kerouac classic On the Road, and when the film debuts it will knock Central Station out of TAG range. This will push WSALL to a minimum of $9.43, a gain of $5.16 per share, more than doubling in value with zero risk. It may take awhile, but one can max out on WSALL for only $85,400, and walk away with a guaranteed minimum of $188,600, with the room for much more if the film is successful.

Rob Cohen - RCOHE

As is the fate of most directors on HSX, RCOHE has fallen well below his TAG due to the long period of inactivity between films. His TAG is $90,920,817, while his price is a paltry $58.03. Once his next film comes out and The Skulls is knocked out of TAG range, RCOHE will adjust to a minimum of $83.92 per share, or $25.89 per share (44.6%). It's not at all certain when his next film will come out yet, but with a guarantee of 44.6% and an average gap of only two to three years between films, RCOHE will be a large payday if you can afford to hold onto the stock for awhile.

John Cho - JCHO

JCHO, better known as Harold (of Harold and Kumar fame), offers a large potential for growth if you're willing to hold onto a stock for awhile. JCHO is currently trading at $49.54, with a TAG of $57,643,258. When his next film is released, his TAG will adjust to a minimum of $57.64, offering a fain of $8.10 per share, or 16.4%. This normally would not be worth the investment, since HSX does not list his next film coming out for almost two years. However, his next film is set to be Star Trek 2. Should the sequel make even half what its predecessor grossed, JCHO would reach $83.34, a gain of 68.2%. This is speculation, of course, but since you are guaranteed 16.4% in just under two years, there is no risk to this investment with a huge potential for reward.

9/16/10 Picks

Andy Dick - ADICK

ADICK will appear later this year in Hoodwinked Too, which will replace The Aristocrats in TAG range. The Aristocrats earned only $6,377,277 in theatres, and thus when the TAG adjusts ADICK will reach a guaranteed minimum of $19.00. Since ADICK is currently trading at $12.93 per share, this translates to a $6.07 per share gain, or 46.9%, in roughly 4 months, absolutely guaranteed. And if Hoodwinked can match the success of its predecessor, ADICK could more than double in value in just a few short months.

Jessica Lucas - JELUC

Since she appeared in Cloverfield, JELUC has not appeared in a TAG film, causing her price to drop to $27.50 from a TAG of $45,671,346. In February, 2011, she will appear in the new Big Momma movie. When this film is adjusted, her TAG will adjust to a minimum of $34.25, a gain of $6.75 per share, or 24.5% guaranteed. The last Big Momma movie did over $70 million. If any of that box office magic rubs off on the new film, JELUC could jump quite a bit in about half a year.
