Ah, the "buy high, sell low" strategy. {nm} Rocket Apr 27, 09:24

Congrats to the top 3 gainers last week: 1) RufusS, 2) KaiGee 3) RattyBatty {nm} Rocket Apr 25, 02:03

Congrats to the top 5 gainers last week. 1) RattyBatty 2) Oleg_Max 3) KaiGee 4) Abraxas 5) :D {nm} Rocket Apr 19, 08:36

Well played. Must have been a somewhat unusual week bc I did better than a handful of top players. {nm} MattW Apr 19, 16:45

Unlike the top4 in the list, this is my first time. It might have more to do with planets (holdings) lining up in the right direction -luck? {nm} Rocket Apr 20, 14:26

Exactly. The highest I’ve ever ranked was another time when the planets aligned MattW Apr 21, 09:59

May our luck continue then 🙏 {nm} Rocket Apr 21, 16:35

My Net Worth History graph is a basically a 45 degrees line. I like it but moving trough ranks is taking forever. Guillo Apr 13, 20:22

At the port size we are at it’s a slow rise in rankings WorkinMan Apr 13, 23:16

We are in the same situation. Sane goals. I keep thinking 500M more will make a difference but it seems that is a no Lol . Guillo Apr 14, 18:17

Most people are all moving forward around that same angle. {nm} nulemoni Apr 14, 14:38

It got a lot worse after they removed the inactive players from leaderboard. {nm} booboo Apr 15, 10:36

How are there multi-billionaires all of a sudden? Flickershow Apr 22, 20:25

There was a culling of inactive portfolios. {nm} DTravel Apr 22, 21:05

CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT NET % GAINS EVERYONE HAS FOR MONOPOLY. MY NET IS 32,150%. I BOUGHT @4 CENTS A SHARE. THANKS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK! {nm} fuzzywuzzyz Apr 13, 08:14

1862%, bought at 66 cents per share {nm} SirWinstonNewkirk Apr 13, 09:36

26,700%, bought at H$0.05 {nm} DTravel Apr 13, 11:27

45,266.67% at $.03. Stategically picked up all penny stocks a while ago, doesn't always pay off, but sometimes it does big {nm] {nm} nulemoni Apr 13, 15:34

Isn't it interesting how much of a difference even a penny makes?!!!! {nm} fuzzywuzzyz Apr 19, 19:42

You mean "how much of a difference even a 25% difference in purchase price makes?" hairless bear? :) {nm} DTravel Apr 20, 10:23

Funny-DTravel! fuzzywuzzyz Apr 27, 07:44

could not sell it...shorted it instead of buying it. {nm} fuzzywuzzyz Apr 28, 12:29

You "sell" shares bought long and "cover" shares bought short. DTravel Apr 28, 12:32

Filtering Stocks by development stage. Aussie Apr 10, 20:11

Thank you. nm Aussie Apr 14, 01:38

How rare is it for a wide release to not report box office? egolub Apr 08, 05:26

Small ports (and the 50% holding him in the wrong direction) really need to look at AHOPK for this week's SBO adjust. (largest DROI listed) {nm} Rocket Apr 07, 10:11

It usually helps to do the math. ;) {nm} DTravel Apr 07, 11:49

That's the truth. I'm up nearly 100% on my AHOPK short. {nm} Taopuppy Apr 09, 12:58

KAIGEE: PAND4 appears to be missing from your DB. {nm} Rocket Apr 06, 10:12

It's there. It already delisted. {nm} KaiGee Apr 07, 18:17

James Cameron set to remake the 1966 classic "Fantastic Voyage". Taopuppy Apr 06, 09:08

But Raquel Welch isn't available anymore for a cameo! :( {nm} DTravel Apr 06, 11:48

True, but it will still be a good movie/investment. {nm} Taopuppy Apr 07, 12:19

Milestone(?): H$2.5B FiniteMike Apr 04, 13:47

Why not, congrats! {nm} SirWinstonNewkirk Apr 04, 15:31

WTG! {nm} Rocket Apr 04, 20:31

Its a bingo! {nm} ndmaster Apr 04, 20:53

congrats! {nm} tealfan Apr 05, 10:24

Very nice!!! {nm} bchicken Apr 07, 07:18

Cash to Investments Ratio nextlvl Apr 04, 07:23

My Ratios Taopuppy Apr 04, 09:34

try to stay fully invested, but I rarely find enough interesting ideas to stay fully invested... {nm} ndmaster Apr 04, 20:53

I’ve only got 43% in investments. Too much cash with nowhere to park. {nm} eternal warrior Apr 06, 15:19

I’m at roughly 3.8 billion, and 86.5% of that is invested. The more I can have invested the better! {nm} bchicken Apr 07, 07:24

That’s good advice, I’ll look some more. {nm} eternal warrior Apr 07, 11:56

The vast majority of limited release moves make less than 1 million dollars, so that opens up a lot of potential shorting opportunities {nm bchicken Apr 08, 14:06

About 50/50, fully invested in anything that I think will make more than the cost of commissions. {nm} DTravel Apr 06, 19:02

(MPETS) 'overpriced' for (STRN3) TAG (mid-June). I'd wait until then, then buy long. ballpark_frank Apr 02, 00:42

What if in mid July the bond is already at 16? {nm} Bond_Port Apr 02, 16:27

If it climbs that much in a month, I'd cash in for the $7/share profit... {nm} ballpark_frank Apr 02, 16:59

Unless Chapter 2 is getting lots of hype (good kind), in which case, could just hold until the late 2024 TAG {nm} ballpark_frank Apr 02, 17:14

You're not making sense. It is overpriced for the June adjust, and the dROI until Nov is not that great. {nm} Bond_Port Apr 03, 13:13

Now it makes sense. Bond_Port Apr 03, 20:09

Emma Corrin (EMCOR) is a steal at IPO of 90 with upcoming DEAD3 & NOSFR {nm} 183Phi Mar 26, 09:19

I just maxed out on those bonds. {nm} Taopuppy Mar 26, 11:21

Which? ndmaster Mar 26, 17:25

math question inside egolub Mar 26, 11:31

They prob think it is / 2 {nm} ndmaster Mar 26, 17:20

Perhaps they don't know it maxes at 250 {nm} Rocket Mar 26, 18:48

NOSFR should rise in value (with December release date), pushing the price of EMCOR up {nm} 183Phi Mar 27, 09:25

Assuming that, for every $3 over $20 NOSFR goes up EMCOR's adjusts up $1. And you are talking about 9 months from now. DTravel Mar 27, 17:02

Let's bookmark this thread on NOSFR/EMCOR for December. ;) 183Phi Mar 28, 09:29

It all depends on NOSFR doing MASSIVELY better BO than the current price would indicate. {nm} DTravel Mar 28, 15:22

Also - would it be worth having those HSX funds tied up for the next 9 months? ballpark_frank Mar 28, 15:36

At the _CURRENT_ prices the gain on EMCOR won't even cover the commissions. {nm} DTravel Mar 28, 17:14

Show your math, please {nm} ndmaster Mar 29, 07:35

Just a hunch {nm} 183Phi Mar 29, 09:29

Absolutely no reason to own this one. Literally no change for 9 months ndmaster Mar 29, 11:10

Hey! A [MARLE.BW] was programmed to IPO today and now dissapeared... That's weird {nm} fwerner Mar 17, 09:09

From my understanding, a movie needs 100M by wk4 to qualify for BW. I could be wrong, but that might explain it. {nm} Rocket Mar 17, 09:57

Someone forgot to pay for that last ticket. {nm} DTravel Mar 21, 13:08

Small ports: If you haven't noticed yet - it looks like the big changes in SBO for the next 2 weeks are: Rocket Mar 16, 13:23

Forgive my ignorance, but "SBO"? {nm} Taopuppy Mar 25, 18:42

Star Bonds Options {nm} 183Phi Mar 26, 09:11

It's just Star Bonds... {nm} ndmaster Mar 28, 15:15

Dead Cashouts - What was your single biggest cashout today? Mine: HSX$14.9 million. DTravel Mar 15, 12:22

$2.8m {nm} SirWinstonNewkirk Mar 15, 13:03

Didn't do great, but I suspect I made my $ and reversed when it hit penny stock level {nm} Rocket Mar 15, 13:34

But to answer the Q, 1.5M {nm} Rocket Mar 15, 13:34

I'd done that one some of them as well. {nm} DTravel Mar 15, 18:06

14.4 mil., Artemis {nm} sphere Mar 17, 00:06

The MovieStocks market is growing, and with it the amount needed to be fully invested at HSX SenJohnBlutarsky Mar 11, 09:37

Can I transfer the difference into a high interest savings account? :p {nm} Rocket Mar 11, 19:21

That or ability to extend loans to other players would suite me fine. {nm} grammar Mar 11, 19:56

Do you own 'em all? {nm} ndmaster Mar 12, 17:16

Customarily yes. When not, it is generally an oversight. SenJohnBlutarsky Mar 13, 02:27

So, there are 2,293 investment options on HSX? ndmaster Mar 13, 07:05

Kaigee’s main site page outlines the number of securities {nm} Workinman Mar 14, 00:23

Will StarBonds start paying interest again like it did back in the beginning? {nm} Taopuppy Mar 13, 09:23

When did StarBonds pay interest? Are you thinking of the interest on cash? DTravel Mar 13, 09:58

I distinctly remember the bonds paid interest and even had Standard & Poor's like credit ratings back when I first started playing. {nm} Taopuppy Mar 13, 10:45

Well, StarBond interest went away before I started playing. Given this is the first I've heard of it I suspect a LONG time before. {nm} DTravel Mar 14, 12:53

Yep. I started WAY back in 1996. {nm} Taopuppy Mar 14, 13:57

Which sucks big donkey dick. {nm} ndmaster Mar 13, 12:41

I don't understand? That Star Bonds used to pay interest or don't anymore? {nm} Taopuppy Mar 13, 16:03

No, it was in response to Dmac leaving interest on cash at 0.25% {nm} ndmaster Mar 13, 17:57

I'm guessing the goal is to keep players active, not incentivize them to leave HSX$ in cash, or mirror the Fed. {nm} terraformingearth Mar 15, 06:41

hopefully this is the right board for this ... when will the award options cash out? Keplar_the_Templar Mar 11, 07:20

Probably. More important: At least 15 traders* had Lily Gladstone short. If they rode it up to 14, then shorted, that was deftly played. SenJohnBlutarsky Mar 11, 09:24

The calendar is your friend. ndmaster Mar 12, 17:39

25 years of playing! Wow! thanks a lot guys! It's been a lot of fun! {nm} cmbastos Mar 09, 12:02
