Ever
wanted to own a piece of Britney Spears? Well, now you can! No, not
literally, unfortunately. But it's as close as you're likely to ever
get.
Hollywood
Stock Exchange is the perfect site for you if you've ever wished
you could have bought stock in "Titanic" or "Freddy
Got Fingered." Okay, so maybe you wouldn't want to put money
into a Tom Green movie . . . but you could have still made money on
it by shorting it! If that makes no sense to you, read on and it'll
all become clear.
With
www.HSX.com you get an imaginary two million dollars for trading in
movie stocks and another two million for music stocks. Not sure why
they're kept separate, but it's a nice feature all the same. Once
you've registered, you can begin trading.
Is
your favorite band about to release an album soon? Buy their stock
cheap and wait for it to skyrocket, then sell it! Heard a rumor that
another of your favorite bands is going to break up? Well, get
something good out of the situation and pick the "short"
option. Then when they do break up and their stock plummets, cover it
to get your profits out.
Sounds
like fun, right? It is. And highly addictive. I can now see why
people can get neck deep into debt on the REAL stock market so fast!
So, if the real market is too risky for you, or too "bear"
. . . try the Hollywood Stock Exchange at HSX.com. It may not be REAL
money or REAL stocks but it IS real fun.
P.S.
When you sign up, say RanmaSolo referred you. Capital R and capital
S, otherwise I won't get my money for pimping the site.
