What do you think, do you believe that he turned 20K into 650K or did he add more to it?

[beerbaron]

He added.

[stahleyp]

He added.

 

Yeah, I agree with you.

 

 

If we assume he's been trading for about a year  (bought at the very bottom of march 2009 and sold at market high in april 2010, that's a return of 3,150%...in about a year! Let's say he loaded up on GGP at the very low of .24 and sold at the very high of $15.75 (a little more than a year holding), that's over 6,000% return.  Not impossible, but pretty improbable.

I think the stated returns are more for publicity of the movie.  Watched the movie today and it has its moments but overall was disappointed.

Watched also the movie and was disappointed too. Like it is often the case with movies, the first one was much better.

I thought the movie was ok, the acting was kind of weak excluding michael douglass.  Also the movie had no real "feel" like the first one did.
