Just a quick HSX related note. Joss Whedon will get his own star bond in one week.

Three down, seven to go. They don't add Star Bonds until a person has two projects in the pipeline so this is based on Whedon signing to write and direct Wonder Woman in addition to the BDM.

IPO price will be $20.

Aw MAN!!! I just tied up my latest amount of money buying more ATUDY!!!

I guess I should be able to save up a fair amount before then...Well, $50,000.00, actually...

BUY! SELL! BUY! SELL!

Right now we are advising our clients to put all they can into canned food and shotguns.

Part of one of the old guerilla marketing strategies that has less relevance now that the movie has been green-lit, made, has a release date, and is getting pre-screened. Now it's just a fun sideline interest for some of us

.

Here's some more threads on the topic:

From the city so nice they named it twice...Check it out one time, won't you?

Now, I don't know which is sadder, the fact that you used a "Gremlins 2" reference, or the fact that I recognized and commented on it.

Hey, there's three of us on this thread on the same wavelength, how could we be sad? Whenever I see any stock reports, all I hear is those Gremlins buying and selling. They're still preferable to most actual brokers.

About damn time, I say. Now where's Adam?

For those keeping track, here are the Serenity related stocks (at least, the ones I know of):

Serenity (FRFLY)
Alan Tudyk (ATUDY)
Nathan Fillion (NFILL)
Chiwetel Ejiofor (CEIJIO)
David Krumholtz (DKRUM)
Joss Whedon (JWHED)*
Shohreh Aghdashloo (SAGHD)**

Funds:
Universal (UNIVX)

[Actually, aside from several more funds and Indiana Jones 4, that's my entire portfolio...]

* On sale May 17th
** This one I'm not sure about. She's listed on IMDB as being in the movie, almost certainly as a bit part. Won't get adjusted when Serenity cashes out, but whatever I can do for support :).

I'll throw a few more out there that are BDH related:

Wonder Woman (WONDR) - Joss' next project
Slither (SLTHR) - Nathan's next project, in production

And there might be another Sci-Fi Fund coming along now that the old one cashed out.
