Stock Pick Tip for Easy Money at Hollywood Stock ExchangeThis is a featured page

Last week, while playing around with the Hollywood Stock Exchange, I purchased an Award Option in Martin Scorsese to win an Oscar for Best Director for The Departed. My reasoning was just based on instinct and the fact that Scorsese has never won (although nominated six times!), and he is 64 yrs old. So, I picked up 5,000 shares at $13.32.

On Saturday, Scorsese won the Directors Guild of America award for best director of 2006. It is his first, after being nominated seven times before. According to the LA Times, “The DGA awards are generally considered one of the most reliable forecasters of the Academy Awards. Over the last 58 years, the DGA and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have only disagreed six times.”

Today the Award Option for Scorsese is at $15.66. My guess is that it will continue to rise and he will indeed take home the Oscar.

Id Say that is a pretty good bet. however dont count out Little Miss Sunshine, I personally didn't like it and thought it was very depressing, but there is a lot of buzz about it as the story is innovative. Also, just because he has never won an academy award doesn't mean he is anymore likely to win this year. Letters From Iwo Jima would be another tough call as well.
