Well it's about damn time!

ZachsMind | May 12, 11:09 CET

I had an HSX account ages ago but I forgot my username. So I've signed up again and bought some Serenity and Wonder Woman shares.

Simon | May 12, 14:40 CET

Interesting. I say the future of this stock is quite peachy. Buy now!

Madhatter | May 12, 14:59 CET

Well, I really wish my hsx account had real money in it 'cause I've made a killing. I bought FRFLY stock back when it was worth $20.12 - it's now worth $49.68!

My ATUDY (Alan Tudyk) stock is not doing so well, although my NFILL is making up the loss.

vampirefan | May 12, 18:20 CET

Well, I bought my first 50000 of Serenity stock when it was about $20 and then sold it when it reached $69. And then bought it again when it fell down to $46 and now it's at $49. So I'm making a double profit.

I would really like to buy some Joss stocks but there's nothing that I can sell at the moment. I've maxed out on Battle Angel Alita stock (will be worth a fortune eventually), Serenity stock (gonna keep this baby 'til the end now), some concept called Gravity (wouldn't get much for it if I sold it anyway), Happily N'Ever After (which currently I'm making a loss on and therefore I can't sell, also I'm concived that this will be a cash cow in due time) and Wonder Woman (which I bought for $10.40, what a bargain). Additionally I've got some Resident Evil 3 stock, but besides from the fact that selling now would make a loss, I believe that this project will happen very shortly. Ultimately I'm left with $18.62 which doesn't even get me a single Joss stock.

Just got myself an account and bought me some serenity stock.

Just not too sure what to do with myself now! Although, I did get some free Katie Holmes', which can only be a good thing, due to all that Tom Cruse kissage.

Edit: due to an attack of blondness.

I got free Michelle Trachtenberg, which seemed somewhat appropriate.

Simon | May 12, 19:51 CET

They offered me Michelle, but I rejected her. But only because Ms. Holmes was available. I have to say, I felt rather guilty!

bubblecat | May 12, 19:56 CET

Katie Holmes.

killinj | May 12, 20:34 CET

Did anyone else see Michelle on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night? It may have been a repeat, but it was about Mysterious Skin, and it's NC17 rating. She said it is now unrated.

At any rate, she looked fantastic. She had on what I can only describe as a Jennifer Lopez dress. Black V neck dress, with the V all the way down to her waist. The cloth was holding on by a couple strategically placed pieces of double-sided tape. Jimmy made quite a few jokes about the dress, including saying "Harriet the Spy is all grown up!" He embarrassed her a few times, and at one point she told him he is mean while burying her face in her hands. Overall, she held up well, and did look beautiful.

And Tom Cruise.

brownishcoat | May 12, 22:24 CET

I signed up and bought Serenity and some Michelle Trachtenberg to go with the free MT stock I got. With Mysterious Skin and the other twenty eight movies she has coming out in the next two months she should get some publicity, and how can Serenity fail?

Ans she was in a JLo dress? Mmmm.....

Question: I've been waiting for Whedon stock to go on sale since it was first posted (as inactive), and couldn't find a sell date. How did you, Simon?
Zachsmind: HSX says they list on a second movie (which they did do for Nathan---but where is Gina Torres?)

Also, for the newbies, you can always get more HSX "money" by clicking on "Need $H?" Tuesday through, about, Thursday if you then choose "First Choice" and answer the question (Just what movie you're going to see, if any.) And, always now-and-then-eventually, by choosing "Cold Cash" and clicking on the ad banners (Hold down the Control key if you have pop-ups blocked.) Trading is commission-free Saturday noon through Sunday noon.
And apologies(?) to everyone thinking "Duh.."....

hako | May 12, 22:57 CET

hako I saw the thread on fireflyfans.net and just to make sure I checked HSX's calendar.

Simon | May 12, 23:07 CET

Thanks Hako. I am a newbie at this and can hardly tell how much I have to buy with and what it is worth!

Lioness | May 13, 02:03 CET

I still can't get in on the IPO of Whedon cuz it keeps saying it's not listed yet. =( I'm afraid I won't remember to buy ON the 17th and will screw myself.

...I used to be a bottom feeder on HSX, buying the cheapest stocks on the theory that they couldn't possibly go any lower. Inevitably however they would go lower, and I was sitting on stocks that were in development hell and couldn't make any headway. Then I started following the Arb Charts and my net worth in the game is now almost 14 million.

So when will Joss stock be ACTIVE?

Angel_1 | May 13, 05:27 CET

Excellent, I've been waiting for this stock to become available.

Angel, the HSX calendar says that Joss stock will be active 8 am Eastern on Tuesday, May 17th.

skyfire1228 | May 13, 08:54 CET

I still have maxed out on Janeane Garofalo stock, even though I'm losing my shirt, but I'm a sucker for opinionated feminist brunette commediennes with tattoos who blame their weight issues on society. I'm hopelessly infatuated with her but too lazy to bother with the whole stalking thing, so maxing out on her StarBond is about the best I can do.

ZachsMind | May 13, 09:13 CET

Thanks Sky!!

Angel_1 | May 13, 15:47 CET

Just for information Kelly Holmes = English athlete, Tom Cruse = World Famous Streetfighter(apparently).

Oh, and Bubblecat = not with it at all!

Sorry guys! I appreciate that this site prides itself on intelligent, well thought out and interesting posts. I shall be silent and lurk instead.

*goes off to follow Zachsmind's advice*

bubblecat | May 13, 19:42 CET

Bubblecat – not completely out of it just a little behind the times. In your defence there was much in the papers after Kelly and Tom appeared together on Parkinson where she was said to have found it hard to look at him because she had a crush on him but then turned down an invitation to attend the UK premier of collateral as she was too tired.

Shows how well oiled the publicity machine is - that you still remember them ‘together’ – but how could he not be taken with such a charming Olympic champion in her moment of glory!

purplehazel | May 14, 04:03 CET

Thanks purplehazel :D.

Do you think that I actually repressed that memory?

Curious - see, no thought original!

bubblecat | May 14, 04:27 CET

Bubblecat – memory is such a funny thing. Anyway, I was pleased that your post reminded me of their interactions on Parky. My ‘well oiled machine’ comment above is, on reflection most unfair. It was a wonderful piece of telly; seemingly spontaneous warm hearted mutual admiration; they both seemed extremely chuffed to have each other as appreciative fellow guests.

purplehazel | May 14, 05:22 CET

"…but I'm a sucker for opinionated feminist brunette commediennes with tattoos who blame their weight issues on society."

I knew not getting a tattoo was going to bite me in the ass someday. Crap!
