Is it ever advantageous to re-invest in something? Let me explain   CP7x77 on Nov 20, 08:59

If I read this correctly...   eyescovered on Nov 20, 09:19

This is my take too. Covering and re-shorting shorts is fine, if you want to free up cash and don't mind paying commission.   RogerMore on Nov 20, 10:17

This is quite inaccurate. First of, selling from a long while it's sinking, typically helps on your daily profit, Secondly, the cash you    Facto on Nov 20, 10:37

But that's not what he's asking. He is asking whether selling a stock, banking the profits and rebuying the stock immediately is a good idea {nm}   RogerMore on Nov 20, 13:54

I don't think re-investing pays off...   lapuckfan on Nov 20, 09:54

The advantage would be to shelter in case the price goes up. {nm}   CP7x77 on Nov 20, 10:37

Here's my take   Lib84 on Nov 20, 10:37

I would agree, but if you make more than enough to cover the commission and still pull profit, it's still good for shorts, but...   CP7x77 on Nov 20, 14:23

Sure, look at a movie like Bruno it was easy to take the profits from the short and then reshort from all the bad numbers.   damenchipguy on Nov 20, 14:28

Buy this!!! It's supposed to be hitting way past the strike price! 260M {nm}   rachetman on Nov 19, 12:58

Buy what? {nm}   SocioEvo on Nov 19, 17:33

Something seems way off over at Project Genome... Bonds are still listed for the movies that delisted two days ago, and with insane dRoi {nm}   Facto on Nov 18, 20:18

They also have various limited releases as delisting like wide releases. Examples being Boondock Saints 2, and Precious {nm}   Facto on Nov 18, 20:28

And Bad Lieutenant - BADLU {nm}   Facto on Nov 18, 20:34

He has a pair of infant twins, so the updates are not a priority.. {nm}   Chefbobcat on Nov 18, 23:24

moviestock adjust post OW question   Chimaera81 on Nov 18, 17:19

sure. for most releases, 2.7 is the multiplier used. so whatever the OW is, take that times 2.7 and that is what the stock will adjust to...   islander on Nov 18, 17:32

Box Office Battle -- Worldwide or Domestic gross?   DrewBird on Nov 18, 05:57

From what I read on another post, it's domestic gross {nm}   eyescovered on Nov 18, 06:43

The Tigger Movie made $45.5M domestic and $96.1M worldwide...so either way, its the pick {nm}   lapuckfan on Nov 19, 15:33

It's a new look, with some new features and some changes.   RogerMore on Nov 17, 10:28

Thanks Roger Moore. I owe you a Martini. {nm}   TroyPoodle on Nov 17, 10:33

wouldn't agree with "port performance is a lot more even"   lone canadian leafs fan on Nov 17, 18:32

remember saturdays??? that crazy volatility is gone! thank goodness! {nm}   ndmaster on Nov 17, 21:37

Yeah, I never bothered playing or even opening HSX on Saturdays. It was too crazy and I was usually too hung over to deal with it. {nm}   TroyPoodle on Nov 18, 06:46

You get to play once a day and it's a chance game, you don't win everytime. {nm}   Mattrek on Nov 11, 21:39

Theoretically, the chances are one in seven. My success rate is nowhere near that high {nm}   RogerMore on Nov 12, 07:20

Chances are some trader will do better, some traders will do worse. {nm}   Antibody on Nov 17, 10:26

Really? I've won it about 15-20 times. Do you click the same box every time? {nm}   Mattrek on Nov 15, 23:47

I won 5 times in November, and I just click the first sci-fi selection... just because I'm a sci-fi fan... {nm}   Lukasck on Nov 17, 10:09

You short a moviestock (or starbond or whatever) when you think its price is going to go down. The profit you make is the price you short    RogerMore on Nov 10, 10:12

You didn't get what I meant. I know how short/long works. It's stock monitoring I was talking about {nm}   Lib84 on Nov 10, 11:48

Well, your question was about how shorts work / profits....can you clarify what your question is about stock monitoring??? {nm}   Flash on Nov 10, 16:36
