a99kitten's Musings

I blog about a WHOLE LOT of stuff :)

This is interesting. I used to play the Hollywood Stock Exchange game years ago when it first started. Very fun since I love movies and love the stock market. But I got bored after awhile since no real money was involved :)

But now…futures contracts on movies. Quite interesting. Not sure how the SEC will like  a new form of speculation in this anti-Wall Street climate.  But who knows….And since I think Hollywood/the film industry is as dirty a business as they come, not sure how they can act quite so moralistic about “legalized gambling”.
