邪門...巧合...效應?美國股急瀉.

邪門...巧合...效應?美國股急瀉.

若果接觸股票比較長時間, 應該聽過丁蟹效應.
丁蟹效應（又稱秋官效應）是香港股票市場的一個奇特現象。這個現象的內容，是當由香港電視演員鄭少秋（綽號「秋官」）主演的電視劇集在兩家免費電視台播出後，股票市場便會突然急劇下跌。從經濟理論上來說，這只能算是一連串的巧合；但仍有不少人認為丁蟹效應真有其事，甚至連跨國證券經紀里昂證券也於2004年3月曾為此發表研究報告，使這個現象受到一些其他國家的投資者所認識。

適逢無線電視又播出以股票市場為題節目, 當晚劇情亦講述美股暴跌, 美市亦"跟隨"下跌近四百點.
其實事必有因, 牛市末期其中最大徵兆便是 股友平民化, 股票成為電視劇題材相當一部漫画人人識變超級撒亞人, 離結局不遠矣.

Vertigo Entertainment Developing U.S. Death Note Remakeposted on 2008-06-02 15:58 EDT CW's Undercover writers/producers Vlas and Charles Parlapanides to pen script--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The production notes for the recent horror films Shutter and The Strangers both reveal that America's Vertigo Entertainment is developing a remake of the Death Note franchise and has hired Vlas and Charles Parlapanides to write the screenplay. In Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's hit Death Note manga, a teenager finds a notebook with which he can put people to death by writing their names. He begins a self-anointed crusade against the criminals of the world, and a cat-and-mouse game begins with the authorities and one idiosyncratic genius detective. Vertigo Entertainment (no relation to DC Comics' Vertigo imprint or the United Kingdom's Vertigo Films) has developed or is developing remakes of Ju-on (The Grudge), Dark Water, Infernal Affairs (The Departed), Gin gwai (The Eye), Shutter, My Sassy Girl, Jungdok (Possession), and Janghwa, Hongryeon (The Uninvited). The Parlapanides brothers are writers and executive producers of Undercover, an update of the 21 Jump Street television series which is under development for the CW network. The Death Note manga has already been adapted into two Japanese live-action films with one spinoff film, an animated television series, assorted television specials, and novels. Viz Media is releasing the manga, the anime series, and a novel, while Viz Pictures released the first Japanese live-action film in theaters in May. Source: ShockTillYouDrop.Com

Over 65,000 Watch 1st Death Note Film in U.S. Theatersposted on 2008-06-04 15:19 EDTVIz Pictures considers plans for theatrical release of 2nd film in the fall--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Variety Japan news source reports that over 65,000 ppl watched the first Death Note live-action film adaptation in 300 theaters on May 20 and 21. By contrast, over 6,000 ppl in 166 American theaters watched Viz Media's first foray into nationwide digital theater distribution (Naruto The Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow) on June 6, 2007. Viz Pictures Director of Marketing Manami Iiboshi noted that the NCM Fathom promotional agency had the Death Note film's trailer running in theaters across the nation for a month before the screenings. The film reportedly sold about 20,000 tickets in advance and about 40,000 tickets on the screening days. Viz Pictures has begun exploring the possibility of releasing the second live-action film, Death Note: The Last Name, in theaters this fall after the first movie ships on DVD in North America on September 16. Viz's next nationwide theatrical screenings will be next week's Bleach the Movie: Memories of Nobody.Both Death Note movies adapt Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's hit supernatural suspense manga about a boy who discovers a notebook that can put ppl to death when their names are written in it. Over 800,000 copies of the 12 manga volumes have been sold in the United States, and the first volume has spent 89 weeks in the top-50 charts for all books. The Death Note: Another Note spinoff novel spent three weeks in the top-10 charts in the science fiction novel category. Several million viewers watch Adult Swim's weekly television airings of the 37-episode anime adaptation. The five currently available volumes of the anime DVDs have so far sold about 200,000 copies in Wal-Mart and other retailers, and consistently rank in the top 5 in anime sales charts. A third spinoff film has since been released in Japan, and American film production company Vertigo Entertainment (The Grudge, Dark Water, The Departed) is developing a possible remake of the story with writers Vlas and Charles Parlapanides.
