Pros: interactive, always updating, easy to understand, fun to play Cons: could become a little addictive
Have you ever seen a movie that you thought should have never been made? Have you ever thought that you knew who would be the next big actor in motion pictures? Are you good at predicting which movies will do well in the box office, and which ones will ...
Pros: interesting concept, not that time consuming, interesting movie news, feeds the competitive spirit, overall professional job, possibility of earning real money Cons: limitations on trading, questionable moneymaking practices
Yes, I finally found yet another way to waste my time online. The Hollywood Stock Exchange or HSX is a rather unique and refreshing idea that both copies and mocks the standard day-trading experience.
Pros: First-rate "educational stock" information on movies or music; now, soon and in the future. Cons: You can lose your virtual shirt, and that can be bor-r-r-r-ing!
While it may not really be news in an Internet, Hollywood, or real sense, looking over the reviews of the Hollywood Stock Exchange (HSX), I see a recent development that has not been reported by our correspondents.
Pros: Addictive fun for movie fans and stock market aficionados. Cons: Server can sometimes be slow when too many traders are trading at once.
The Hollywood Stock Exchange (http://www.hsx.com) is a brilliantly fun internet game that simulates Wall Street, except you are buying and selling movies and celebrities instead of securities. It's free, and it's a blast.
Pros: Free, fun strategy game Cons: site loads slow at times
I first heard about the Hollywood Stock Exchange from Howard Stern, who was promoting it on his morning radio show. It seemed like a really novel and cool idea...so that night I had to go home and try it.
This is a really fun site! I have one word of caution! THIS SITE CAN BE ADDICTIVE! You are investing Hollywood dollars into movies, starbonds, and now they have a music section where you carry a separate balance and buy Artist stocks. When you sign...
Pros: fun and easy to use, FREE!! Cons: can be addictive
This is so much fun. First of all, you can choose to either trade in the movies stock market, or the music market. Registration is quick and easy. I have never gotten any Spam from them. You get H$ 2,000,000 to play with just for signing up. You also get...
Pros: Fun, informative, very cool. Cons: Slow, no real reward other than personal satisfaction.
Imagine a market where Movies were stocks, and based on their hype as much as their quality/moneymaking potential, the market could fluctuate in a heartbeat. Stars, listed as bonds, had a price and dividend representative of their successes or failures....
Pros: Feel like you're playing with the big boys. Cons: Front page design changes, nothing else does.
While I do have problems with HSX, you'll notice that it's in my "I Love It" column. Why? Because even with all its problems, I'm still addicted! I'm in the upper-middle level of the game, high enough to feel successful, low enough to keep it...
Pros: Gives keeping up on entertainment news a whole new, interactive angle. Addictive. Cons: Learning it is easy, but getting GOOD at it takes a LOT of time! Addictive.
I don't even know how I stumbled across the Hollywood Stock Exchange, or the "HSX" as it is called, but almost 2 years and countless hundreds of hours later, I think you should check it out too.
I was really distraught about this website. It didn't help at all neither did it show how the stocks affected the market. This is all some kind of twisted information that is pull up on to the web. These people who run the web site seems to know more...
Pros: Moviestocks, addictive Cons: starbonds, music area, addictive
As most of you know by now, the Hollywood Stock Exchange is a simulated stock market in which traders trade in shares of movies, actors, actresses, directors, and more recently musical groups. Note that this is not a free money service, such as spedia...
Pros: Fun, Nice Setup, Teaches Stock Trading skills Cons: Trading down often, short periods of time
The Hollywood Stock Exchange is the people's forum in today's movie market. A stock market based entirely around movies (although they've added music I don't find it that exciting.) What better way for America to tell Hollywood exactly what we want?...
