My name is Chris.

This blog is a mash up of personal and professional interests.

I live in Chicago, work in the financial technology industry for FactSet, and am somehow finding time to attempt a MBA degree at The University of Chicago.

After 20 days of “overbought” status, momentum starts to kick in (I believe this works for both up and down markets). Currently about 10 days in.

But the studios themselves are likely to do better in a direct distribution model where they reach a broader market at lower effective prices to the end customer. This is what happens in digital distribution. Prices come down, markets expand, customers see lower prices and broader availability. Producers do better. Everyone else does worse.
