Playing & Trading Strategy

DSTHT appears to be selling for less than its current box office {nm} terraformingearth Mar 07, 06:55

You mean it's "ARB"? (ie) Priced lower than current BO? {nm} Rocket Mar 07, 07:58

Hopefully it continues to report Weekend BO, otherwise it will be back to the last reported weekend just like The Chosen series has. {nm} Workinman Mar 07, 15:16

Does it have to report weekend? Box Office Mojo has numbers for Mon-Wed. {nm} terraformingearth Mar 08, 07:17

Yes, HSX only tracks Weekend for delist. For example… Workinman Mar 08, 09:32

Question about what seems some 'strategy' for Opening Weekend Derivative ballpark_frank Mar 06, 13:07

Its a "cover your posterior" strategy. Most of the time one of them will make more money than the other loses, so its DTravel Mar 06, 16:26

Thanks. Sort of thought that (especially considering the low prices involved). {nm} ballpark_frank Mar 06, 18:10

How, pray tel, are you deducing that you can tell what others are doing? Just trading volume? ndmaster Mar 06, 17:47

Yes (the 'trending' I mentioned). When (example) 75% shares are long for both CALL and PUT. {nm} ballpark_frank Mar 06, 18:10

Unless its overwhelming, like 3million longs versus 200,000 shorts, still not much info in that ndmaster Mar 07, 16:39

meant for that to say 30 million longs {nm} ndmaster Mar 07, 16:40

Friendly reminder from Delta House: You might wish to monitor your AwardOptions as the deadline approaches . . . . SenJohnBlutarsky Mar 06, 12:04

I should know this after 23 years playing this game... TheWeekendWarrior Mar 05, 22:25

Found this - HighLightDark Mar 06, 02:24

Only thing wrong with your answer is one film in TAG. No adjust there. {nm} ndmaster Mar 06, 17:49

FYI to everyone...you can find the info that NIght posted in the helpful Glossary...I think there's a link at the bottom of every page {nm} tealfan Mar 06, 09:41

Smaller ports, in case you missed it: WONKA.BW delists this week, at around 51.76; making it about 30.64 ARB (or approx +766K / +59%). Rocket Mar 03, 08:33

Poll, of sorts... What is your max gaining +$ and +% value in your port (no stock names). I have one at +$20.28M and one at +110127.55%. {nm} Rocket Mar 02, 10:08

$20.8M and 8,060% {nm} DTravel Mar 02, 16:15

$25.1M and 7300% {nm} JoshuaL Mar 03, 04:44

1,524.94% 22,293,000.00 {nm} bchicken Mar 03, 21:52

Lowly 3.9 mil, 6237%-not the same stock {nm} terraformingearth Mar 04, 07:37

39,666% on one, and H$29.5m on another MattW Mar 04, 10:30

$18.6M and 1,915% (nm) DTshakes Mar 04, 15:23

$23m and 36,866.67% (different stocks) {nm} lapuckfan Mar 06, 09:54

Is there a rule-of-thumb multiplier, or some reference for using preview numbers to predict OW (aside from other factors)? {nm} ballpark_frank Mar 01, 17:03

There used to be a few incredible charts floating around; people kept track of every week's preview numbers on an excel. Awesome. {nm} goodvibe61 Mar 02, 16:13

I know tracking has been good lately but I bet against Dune in all opportunities this time. Guillo Mar 01, 11:24

Dune 2 made $12M on Thursday... so it appears to be heading towards a very good weekend. {nm} JoshuaL Mar 02, 05:38

Now $32M on Friday... Dune 2 might reach 100M by Sunday or Monday {nm} JoshuaL Mar 02, 15:27

I got it wrong but still I get wash. Like I said I had far more chances of making something if it went the other way. {nm} Guillo Mar 03, 10:13

Focusing too much on my fantasy soccer team, completely missed AELLI {nm} SirWinstonNewkirk Feb 21, 10:44

😮 {nm} Rocket Feb 21, 13:44

I am bleeding today but tomorrow should be green enough to give hermit the frog a complex. Guillo Feb 19, 07:40

1.4 M effect if you consider that part of that profit is already counted in. For me is a good result for derivatives. {nm} Guillo Feb 19, 07:52

Re: Dune2: Are there many sequels/2nd parts that do as much better than the original as this is priced to do? {nm} terraformingearth Feb 13, 09:34

NM-I just realized Part 1 was when a lot of people wouldn't go to theaters. {nm} terraformingearth Feb 13, 09:42

Matthew Macfadyen is a dud listing today. Already pre-calculated at post-deadpool adjust. No money there for some time... Rocket Feb 11, 12:55

I calculate the same for what it is worth. {nm} DTravel Feb 11, 13:08

Has anyone figured out when TZOIN delists? {nm} grammar Feb 03, 00:58

March 5, 2024 - thanks Kaigee :) {nm} grammar Feb 03, 01:04

Unless it expands wide which is very close. {nm} Antibody Feb 08, 16:14

Kaigee: Certificate issue, can you please fix? {nm} goodvibe61 Feb 01, 09:15

Fixed now. Good for 3 more months. {nm} KaiGee Feb 01, 18:39

How long after it comes out on Netflix does it normally delist? Thinking of UDOGG. {nm} terraformingearth Jan 29, 10:13

UDOGG is delisting today. {nm} DTravel Jan 29, 10:44

So, within a week then? {nm} 183Phi Jan 30, 08:54

It varies, depending on whether there is theatrical release Noah66 Jan 30, 10:32

When looking at Award Options, adding up all of the prices of a particular categories options totals this: ndmaster Jan 28, 20:58

They are priced so that if a player buys everything on the day of IPO, they will break even at time of delist. vanssa Jan 29, 18:17

Good job ignoring my questions, which I bolded for emphasis. ndmaster Jan 30, 00:03

That happens every year. Generally, categories with a single frontrunner have falling totals. {nm} ribwoods1 Feb 05, 15:47

... So now, buying all 10 Best Picture is guaranteed profit even if there's a surprise winner. {nm} ribwoods1 Feb 05, 16:03

Updated totals. Plus a little analysis ndmaster Feb 05, 22:52

Actor and Actress have two frontrunners. Director is still significantly below 25. {nm} ribwoods1 Feb 06, 06:55

Screenplay usually doesn't spark much passion. {nm} ribwoods1 Feb 06, 07:01

Supporting A/A each have a single frontrunner. {nm} ribwoods1 Feb 06, 07:06

Buying all Supporting and all Pic remain guaranteed profiteers.0 ribwoods1 Feb 06, 07:14

Yeah, but nowhere near as much as buying the favorite and shorting the rest. ndmaster Feb 06, 10:28

Of course not {nm} ribwoods1 Feb 07, 07:10

It means traders are more confident on the ones that won’t win, less confident on who will win. MattW Feb 07, 12:56

Monkey Man set a record for me for % increase- >4,000% {nm} terraformingearth Jan 28, 16:24

Delta House up 19,750 percent on one MovieStock today alone -- also, Monkey Man probably was a multiple of that a week or so ago {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Jan 29, 14:11

Over 67000% for me 😉 (bought at 0.02) {nm} Rocket Jan 29, 15:58

soon as I saw wide release it was a buy {nm} unaturalx Jan 30, 02:50
