KIDS Fund Stimulus Worked!

Sorry, been a few days/weeks since I have posted. I've got news, some news, and sort of news.

Before any of that, after dropping to H$15M, I'm happy to say we're back up to over H$17M!!!!

Let's start with news: The last film the fund played, Ice Age 3, did pretty dang well. However, in the overpriced world of HSX, it did not do so well. It adjusted down by about H$35 and put the fund into a H$5 million hole. Thankfully it has risen steadily and is now hovering at H$159, just above the $157M it has made so far. With one more weekend, it should be good for a few more monies. I have chosen to drop the film for another...

Some news: Fund no play Harry Potter. Although it had a slight upward adjust, it's now right back to where it was at the beginning of the weekend. It had a massive nearly $10M weekend, so I expect it will make its price pretty easily. It's just too expensive for this little fund to play. I've already done the "all the eggs in one basket" thing, and it's too costly. If you've got a big fund, probably staying long is a safe bet.

IPO Time! Secretariat (SCTRT) is a movie about horsies. Hey, kids movie! It's also Disney, so I think KIDS is justified in playing it. I'll keep an eye on it and drop if it turns into Disney's first R-rated film (although Touchstone has had many R films, but I don't think that counts).

Neil Gaiman's "Graveyard Book" is being turned into a movie. It's a bit dark, but Gaiman is usually pretty kidsish.

Hobbit - Part 2: More Hobbit was announced last week. It will be the second part of the Hobbit film to be released a year after the first one. More money for us, I suppose.

Last, new Indiana Jones. The last one was pretty bad, but, hey, it was fun and make the last fund some sweet sweet cash. I dropped Ice Age 3 in pursuit of this one. I'll probably ride it up to the low 200s, and then wait. Too high, you say? Well, the last one made $125M 5-day opening, $317M total domestic. But fans were upset by it and won't see the next one, you say? We can all agree Star Wars Ep 1 was pretty bad, at least as bad as Indie 4. Fans naturally would boycott the next movie to the tune of... oh wait, it had $110M 5-day. But certainly after that, the next one... oh, even more? $158M 5-day total? Well... we shall see about Indie, but don't discount ravenous fans who keep hoping for more. You know they're all Lucas/Star Wars fans anyway. They never learn.

Okay, we've got a movie coming out this weekend! G-Force is about on par with Beverly Hills Chihuahuahua, Garfield, and Alvin and the Chipmonks. They've all done surprisingly well, and I think G-Force will be no different. It's got decent voice talent, and there hasn't been a very kid friendly movie since Ice Age 3 (Harry Potter is a bit scary for the little ones). Tracking was at high 20s, and it's priced there. We're long on the stock for now, but I will check back tomorrow before it halts since it's climbing.

Last thing, last thing... Aliens in the Attic is tracking at low teens, maybe not even that high. The stock seems a bit overvalued at the moment, but I'm not complaining about the rise. Probably will not be making its price, regardless of whether it rises any more. Dreadful kid's market at the moment.

Thanks for reading, thanks for holding on the KIDS through the bad times! Trade hard.
