WIZARD STOCK IN FREE FALL

What "news" are we waiting for on them...sorry don't follow this/stocks very much

 

Generally speaking stocks get crushed like this on bad news. A bad earnings report. A recall, etc. Something tangible. There doesn't appear to be any at this time.

Maybe it has something to do with the large amount of shows they have been doing that have been complete disasters.

 

You mean like their China show?

They moved the venue to a tent and many people were stuck outside inline in the heat hours past the open because they wouldn't let people in until others left. :eek:

 

By 12:00 the celebrities started arriving, and they were not happy with what they saw. Thousands of guests and fans were still standing outside in the broiling sun, and inside, it was so crowded there weren’t even any chairs for them to sit and sign autographs.

 

...and it gets better

 

About 2:30, the organizers announced that no one else would be allowed inside (not that they had let anyone in since about noon) and only VIP ticket-holders would be allowed inside on Sunday. A mini riot broke out, which caused the celebrity guests to be evacuated the police to form a human barricade around the tent. The organizers then said they would issue refunds for all the regular ticket holders, but they didn’t give any directions about how to get the refund. We have contacted event organizers directly as well as Wizard World and Coke via their website, Facebook, and Twitter, all to no response, so we have not received any refunds.

sometimes when there's press release, there's something akin to insider trading involved. Rumors of layoffs, pending dismissal of some officers, etc that hasn't hit the press yet.

They need to do something like put out a magazine or even a price guide to generate some revenue.

I'd buy that for a dollar.

It would need a snazzy name though...something you could equate to their brand.

Stock (WIZD) down another 42% today after getting pummeled 28% last Friday on no apparent news. Full disclosure I have (fortunately at this point), a very small position in the stock.

 

:gossip: It's because they gave Carbo a TV Show. I'd sell all my stock after finding that out! http://finance.yahoo.com/news/contv-launches-original-series-comic-100000789.html
