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

Note: calculations were shown in the original post {nm} ballpark_frank Apr 03, 20:12

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

Congrats! {nm} SirWinstonNewkirk Mar 09, 12:11

congrats {nm} oneman Mar 09, 12:25

Its a bingo! {nm} ndmaster Mar 09, 15:25

very nice {nm} daveart Mar 09, 15:31

A+ {nm} tallbridge Mar 09, 21:33

awesome! congrats! right behind you with 24 years! {nm} NOLEAFCLOVR[SeeTVFund] Mar 20, 16:00

Kaigee's been updated, but there is an error with DBAUT. {nm} Rocket Mar 09, 10:51

Looks like HSX may have reused an old MST symbol and that's throwing things off. {nm} KaiGee Mar 09, 17:04

The top 10k for the year shows Jan 2023 - Mar 2024. Top 100 shows correctly. {nm} MattW Mar 10, 16:14

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
