The prudent thing for us is to stay well away from entertainment - obviously the risk to the business is significant if we overstep the mark. We'll take advice on anything borderline before making a move.]]> admin New Stock Ideas Wed, 04 Feb 2009 18:31:22 +1300 /forum/read.php?12,47,135#msg-135 Re: What we can and can't run stocks on /forum/read.php?12,47,135#msg-135

And we can't do entertainment.

I note this rules out the Oscars. Does it also mean a blanket ban on any celebrity-style gossip? A ban on "entertainment" covers a broad base. Which of these would be acceptable?

• Victoria Beckham's next handbag to cost more than GBP 100,000
• Martin Henderson to get a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
• This Is Your Life recipient to be...
• New Zealand Symphony Orchestra to tour Poland
• TV2 to be floated on the NZX

Where do you draw the line?

I was really looking forward to a "Who will play Lara Croft in the upcoming movie" stock :-(]]> the_master New Stock Ideas Thu, 29 Jan 2009 14:46:41 +1300 /forum/read.php?12,47,102#msg-102 Re: What we can and can't run stocks on /forum/read.php?12,47,102#msg-102 test1 New Stock Ideas Wed, 28 Jan 2009 14:17:23 +1300 /forum/read.php?12,47,101#msg-101 Re: What we can and can't run stocks on /forum/read.php?12,47,101#msg-101 jmvm New Stock Ideas Wed, 28 Jan 2009 13:51:54 +1300 /forum/read.php?12,47,47#msg-47 What we can and can't run stocks on /forum/read.php?12,47,47#msg-47
