is sat still a commision free day? {nm} edweirdo Feb 12, 10:11

No {nm} RogerMore Feb 12, 10:23

It ended a few years back, in case you're wondering. :-) {nm} Flash Feb 12, 13:16

I'd say more than "a few", they were gone before I joined HSX in 2010. {nm} DTravel Feb 13, 09:26

Well, I've been playing since 1998, so 2010 seems like a "few" to some of us! *smiles* {nm} Flash Feb 14, 07:36

Is there a blog or explanation of how a Movie Fund works? I'm nearing $100M. I got ideas and want to be clear on its mechanics. Thanks. Baron_Darcon Feb 11, 10:25

The general idea is you start with 20 Million and invest that amount of money in such a way that it becomes 100 Million as fast as you can. {nm} SequelsFund Feb 11, 11:25

It's not a race to H$100M. {nm} Antibody Feb 12, 10:54

Here are a few answers... HorrorFund Feb 11, 11:40

You should send an email to macdaddy@hsx.com outlining your proposal. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 11, 13:59

Fed consider to look forward negative interest rates? Our hsx portfolio will lose money daily. mike255 Feb 11, 08:20

Oh no! Whatever shall we do??? ndmaster Feb 11, 14:17

Ken Jeong. Starbond, How Profitable, and how he really did MitchC Feb 10, 16:57

Two movies in adjust. {nm} mike255 Feb 10, 17:29

They do not always show double adjusts correctly {nm} JDolphin Feb 10, 18:21

I have a spread sheet. It has a column to warn me double adjusts and same release dates.... Buy BONDS Silver edition Feb 10, 18:39

Click on the Bond heading and it will sort the adjust list in Bond name order and you can do a quick scan to see if anyone is listed twice {nm} JDolphin Feb 10, 18:43

HowProfitable did not get it Wrong. You got it Wrong by not looking close enough & Understanding HowProfitable. RotoHockey2013Main Port Feb 10, 19:15

... MitchC Feb 10, 19:50

There is another double adjust in 2 weeks so you have a chance to practice what you've learned :) {nm} JDolphin Feb 10, 20:46

Actually ...no. JEDGE would have been a double adjust, but LIFE1 did not report. Next time, don;t be afraid to actually mention the Buy BONDS Silver edition Feb 10, 21:07

It's not JEDGE {nm} JDolphin Feb 10, 21:23

By not mentioning the starbond - I was hoping he could learn to spot it himself with a little help so he can do it in the future {nm} JDolphin Feb 10, 21:24

HINT: Perhaps it is (JREYN). Might be (JREYN). Could be (JREYN). {nm} Captain Obvious Feb 10, 23:27

... MitchC Feb 11, 17:31

a double adjust is a no-go if you're just relying on auto-predictions. they're not 100% surefire. Exogen Feb 12, 19:23

I see some other folks have deciphered the language of the double-adjust, I'll keep that in mind for the future. {nm} Exogen Feb 12, 19:25

The Week in Review/The Week Ahead: The Universal Fund [UNIVX], Episode 21 UNIVX Feb 10, 15:35

From what I understand...sequels generally do not do "as well" as the forerunner. {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 10, 08:04

It depends. I sorely remember SHREK2. {nm} ndmaster Feb 10, 09:00

'Pitch Perfect 2', 'The Bourne Supremacy', 'The Bourne Ultimatum', James Bond (2-87), Austin Powers 2&3. Captain Obvious Feb 10, 11:51

You might add stars wars 8 soon. {nm} mike255 Feb 10, 13:00

Toy Story 2 & 3, Iron Man 3, Anchorman 2, Pirates 2...{nm} bennyg1985 Feb 10, 13:39

Lots of sequels do well...but there are also many that don't..Speed 2, Dirty Dancing 2, Basic Instinct 2, Sin City 2, etc... {nm} Flash Feb 10, 15:12

... and we can probably add Zoolander 2 to that list. {nm} SequelsFund Feb 10, 16:11

Yep. {nm} Flash Feb 11, 07:49

In fact, if the Sequel Fund has the cash, I'd thought it would short it as well. :-) {nm} Flash Feb 11, 07:51

You got that right :-) {nm} SequelsFund Feb 11, 11:28

'Furious 7'. {nm} Captain Obvious Feb 10, 16:18

Star Wars 7? A bridge to far made a few thousands more than The longest day {nm} mattep74 Feb 12, 10:38

contact me through my addy oon BONDS {nm} mrbinns Feb 08, 15:10

I'm sure you were around then too.... My personal best was more than 50 in a month. I stopped counting after 50. It was such a bore. {nm} DiNar0 Feb 09, 11:46

You better off playing powerball or mega million {nm} mike255 Feb 08, 16:29

Or.... Helping an old lady cross the street... or supporting a good cause... or... But wait, you are Mike 255 and... JMT-NL Feb 11, 11:19

Is there a way to search for Pre-IPOs? How far out are IPOs usually planned/shown IPO date? {nm} Baron_Darcon Feb 05, 23:55

Typically, the calendar will note what's coming up this week & next week. I'm not aware if they "announce" coming IPO's further than that. {nm} Flash Feb 06, 10:28

When you do advanced searches, they show up. ndmaster Feb 06, 11:49

Thanks. I've seen them before several weeks out and forgot how.. I have to search each genre with a cap on price to find them. One on 2/19 Baron_Darcon Feb 06, 12:39

Can I set a limit order to "protect" myself if I've shorted a stock? parthm Feb 05, 18:35

Nope. Stop loss orders aren't allowed. ndmaster Feb 05, 18:56

You can only use limit orders to make a profit - not protect you for losses. Sad, but true. :-) {nm} Flash Feb 06, 10:25

Why is [[STAR7.BW]] only valued at $42.59? Ar558a Feb 05, 08:23

becuse it's driven up only by how much we traders are buying it...I think we all were maxed out on it a long time ago {nm} tealfan Feb 05, 09:18

*because {nm} tealfan Feb 05, 09:18

Yeh but it will payout $98 it's free money? {nm} Ar558a Feb 05, 10:34

Again, most all those who are interested have already bought in. There aren't enough new buy-ins to move the price higher {nm} BSmurf Feb 05, 11:00

If there were more active players it would be much closer to TFA's current box office. MattW Feb 05, 14:47

Also lots of newer players stay away from derivatives I gather. I stayed away until I really understood them. But it is free money in 4 Baron_Darcon Feb 06, 08:58

Im gonna buy right before it adjusts, i can make more return on the money other ways. It harly makes anything daily {nm} MarkDinse Feb 08, 11:47
