I can’t wait for September to end so there are finally some good movies to choose from. Dolphin Tale 2? Too mild. No Good Deed? No way. So how about Honeymoon? Sure no one’s heard of it, and it wasn’t even mentioned in Box Office Mojo’s roundup of the week’s films. But for fans of creepy horror films, it might fit the bill. The flick concerns a just-married couple who take a trip out to the bride’s family cabin, only to have her start acting very strangely after she investigates a strange light. Is it a metaphor for the way you never really know the person you’re marrying? For our fears of commitment? That Steven Spielberg should make a Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind? Who knows? But it stars Game of Thrones‘ Rose Leslie and Penny Dreadful’s Harry Treadway, and is getting remarkably decent reviews: The New York Times’ Jeannette Catsoulis calls Honeymoon “a lean, low-budget debut;” the Los Angeles Times’ Robert Abele says it “delivers a steady dose of newlywed nightmare;” and the Village Voice’s Zachary Wigon notes that it “achieves emotional resonance due to how effectively it joins its source of horror with the stuff of everyday human anxieties.” That works for me.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Tansy Trading]
Let's move on to our case. We have been closely following Skechers (SKX) for 3 years. We initially got interested in September 2010 as we thought the decline in share price from 40 to 25 on the early demise of the toning shoe craze was overdone. It was actually seriously underdone when we got on board and we took some losses as the stock fell from 25 to 20, and we closed the position. We then dabbled in owning the stock as it bounced around in the mid-teens for nearly 18 months as the company liquidated hundreds of millions of dollars of very low demand toning shoes causing them to report losses in 2011 and 2012. The rapid growth of toning shoes and rapid demise significantly disrupted their business for 2 years.
