Playing & Trading Strategy

Question for large port players. How do you maintain portfolios with 500+ securities? IAM_rah Dec 22, 22:16

I don't use radar stocks anymore - I'm either in or out srrichardson Dec 23, 02:10

Buy and hold blockbusters (or anything in the $80+ range). Day trade everything else on news and momentum... hyperzeitgeist Dec 23, 02:44

Do you create limit orders on day trading or is mostly real time decisions? {nm} IAM_rah Dec 23, 16:27

I only make trades in current positions if a threshold is hit. ndmaster Dec 23, 03:52

Leaving strategy aside, mechanics of large port management are much easier and more flexible with Port Monkey edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 23, 06:50

Mainly, I use varying #s of shares to delineate what I need to monitor. Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Dec 23, 11:02

^ Wide releases (pre-release) for permanent long term hold = Tentpoles (ie) STAR7 {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Dec 23, 11:18

Short every ipo except the most popular movie. {nm} mike255 Dec 23, 13:16

<INSIDE>. RotoHockey2013Main Port Dec 21, 19:30

Thank you! I was curious to see what the graph looked like during the years I ddin't play. IAM_rah Dec 21, 20:33

Cool. It says to put your own name to see yours but mine didn't work.. Looks to me there is a minimum port, is it 500 mil? {nm} Baron_Darcon Dec 22, 01:25

Sorry - You must be in the TOP 10,000. {nm} RotoHockey2013Main Port Dec 22, 04:35

So then I'll need 304 Million as of now.. It'll take a few months. =) {nm} Baron_Darcon Dec 22, 20:55

I have more money free in cash than I did in 2011 (200 million) {nm} Steved1998 Dec 25, 07:28

Not working for me either. I have an $800+ million port. {nm} jms2 Dec 25, 13:40

It has never worked for me on Firefox but it does work in Internet Explorer. {nm} DTravel Dec 25, 17:45

i can't get it to work on firefox either, I have to use Chrome for that. {nm} JDolphin Dec 25, 20:04

Are stock prices automatically updated to a new 2.7 on Mondays when the actuals come in? {nm} Starkiller100 Dec 21, 17:35

Nope. Actuals apply to derivatives, but not to weekend moviestock adjusts. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 21, 17:59

Where To Put.. A Ton Of Cash.,. MitchC Dec 21, 17:15

just make sure you buy things I already own and short things I already have shorted. list inside: Oleg Max Dec 21, 17:28

... MitchC Dec 21, 17:39

Perfect advice, Oleg. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Dec 21, 18:22

Never saw it spelled that way... hmmm was thinking I'd get Rick Rolled. =P {nm} Baron_Darcon Dec 21, 18:24

Even with a port your size... Flash Dec 22, 08:18

... MitchC Dec 23, 13:30

Buy bonds. Buy big blockbusters that are definitely coming out (you can treat these like bonds), hold 20% to 30% cash to move on news {nm} Fitch3k Dec 30, 06:34

The movies and martain warrant didnt delist for today yet. {nm} Baron_Darcon Dec 21, 17:11

You were a couple hours early {nm} JDolphin Dec 21, 18:51

Oops, ignore that - I was subtracting from pacific time to get central time instead of adding :o {nm} JDolphin Dec 21, 18:53

Daylight Saving Time - How Is This Still A Thing? John Oliver Dec 21, 22:21

To Hold or not To Hold beansnap Dec 21, 12:54

Faith in the Force traders lack, yes. {nm} DTravel Dec 21, 13:11

No. The drop right now is an initial selloff after OW. But STAR7 should see more repeat business & people outside of its target audience FranklynStreet Dec 21, 13:42

My no is to your "is there any reason it should not outperform the 2.7 modifier?" To the question "Hold?" the answer is yes. {nm} FranklynStreet Dec 21, 13:46

Most people like it and if it wasn't SW I'd short it. It's too big to fail but I've been looking at large 2nd weekend drops Baron_Darcon Dec 21, 13:57

You need to look at Christmas weekend drops. Many movies make more on that weekend than the week before (link) JDolphin Dec 21, 14:09

Thanks good point.. 2009 Avatar is the best comparison to our current market and calendar... Huge movie and same holiday schedule Baron_Darcon Dec 21, 18:49

Hold or hold not; up to you, it is. {nm} Yoda Dec 21, 15:01

Havent played seriously in years....(advice please) MuskMan Dec 21, 05:15

Daytrading requires you are here enough to take advantage of movie news, playing the players, etc... with a smaller port... Flash Dec 21, 08:14

Thank you for the insights! May rework my port {nm} MuskMan Dec 21, 12:25

take a look at how adjusts work is my advice, when I learned about this mechanic a whole new depth to the game opened up. {nm} Exogen Dec 21, 11:10

Use the Fan site howprofitable.com every week, make sure on Mondays at the latest put most of port in Starbonds Baron_Darcon Dec 21, 12:28

BONDS.... STARBONDS {nm} DiNar0 Dec 21, 14:22

Check the leaderboard... 87 of 100 had nearly identical percent gain... {nm} Baron_Darcon Dec 21, 00:27

STAR7. "pills" may be the only multiple account. {nm} Antibody Dec 21, 09:47

Glad so many saw the obvious and it paid off for them too. {nm} Baron_Darcon Dec 21, 13:08

So I can post the Top Movie Funds for the next couple of weeks? Thanks for letting me know :P {nm} Awards Fund Dec 20, 13:52

3.2 mill shares divided by 100,000 share limit = 32 people {nm} RazorHawk Dec 19, 17:29

Not necessarily, they could have just shorted it for the fun, not to mention could have already maxed the long. Its a big risk to take. {nm} The_1250_Man Dec 19, 17:46

No need to TAG using Square Brackets. Use either Round Brackets or None at all. {nm} RotoHockey2013Main Port Dec 19, 17:49

Why was my post removed? berndog62 Dec 19, 22:34

Yup. Read this explanation from HSXsanity blog Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Dec 19, 22:49

Got it. Thanks. Suggestion... berndog62 Dec 20, 11:44

I agree with you. I've mention that before, but it wasn't changed {nm} JDolphin Dec 20, 14:32

** This post has been removed by the forum moderator! ** Matches Malone Dec 19, 16:32

Nicely Done. No need to TAG though (using Square Brackets). Use either Round Brackets or None at all. {nm} RotoHockey2013Main Port Dec 19, 17:47

Matches will make Clark bleed. {nm} TheEradicator Dec 19, 20:52

At what point is a port no longer considered a small port? 25 mil? 50 mil? {nm} Baron_Darcon Dec 19, 09:38

Hmmm...size justification or size envy? :) DiNar0 Dec 19, 09:50

Yup port size envy for sure. Just looking for opinions of when to celebrate when I cross the threshold. I got a ways to go still. Baron_Darcon Dec 19, 13:18

Continue to do what you have been doing. It would suddenly hit you, I promise. {nm} DiNar0 Dec 19, 14:23

frankly you're doing just fine. you shouldn't be looking up, the curve is exponential. instead look side to side. celebrate the milestones. {nm} Exogen Dec 19, 14:32

Top Movie Funds of the Week (and MTD) Awards Fund Dec 19, 08:49

For some reason, every time I have a really good weekend with the Universal Fund (like last week) this doesn't get posted. :( {nm} FranklynStreet Dec 19, 09:43

And by weekend, I mean week. {nm} FranklynStreet Dec 19, 09:43

Here's my decision process for whether to post Weekly update or not. Awards Fund Dec 19, 12:59

I knew it! :) {nm} UNIVX Dec 19, 13:59

I want to thank JJ, George Lucas, mr Spielberg, everybody at Disney and oh yes, the Awards Fund. Ty {nm} SequelsFund Dec 19, 23:42

DiNar0 you just HAD to do it, didn't you? :-) {nm} Flash Dec 18, 10:06

That was yesterday by about H$300k.... You'd be up by more than a mill later at today's close. :) {nm} DiNar0 Dec 18, 13:53

I know, I never did like yo-yo-ing back and forth... *smiles*... just friendly banter!! :-) {nm} Flash Dec 18, 16:03

Can't you just swap emails? {nm} hyperzeitgeist Dec 19, 00:32

Star Wars Weekend Box Office.. MitchC Dec 18, 05:43

My guess: $225 OW, $600 delist for the regular stock. {nm} FranklynStreet Dec 18, 06:15

should have seen how packed the theater was last night. {nm} Exogen Dec 18, 10:00

I'm thinking at least $210 for the OW...and also $200+ for opening weekend, also... Flash Dec 18, 10:05

... MitchC Dec 18, 10:57

Lots of box office discussion on the Movies Board. {nm} Antibody Dec 18, 11:19

How do I access NOMOPTIONS? Coco82 Dec 17, 11:30

Do the following searches to get a list of the nominoptions in each category: RogerMore Dec 17, 11:42

On the Exchange page under Now Trading Antibody Dec 17, 11:57

There used to be a Handy-Dandy NominOptions Clickable Link under 'On The Exchange'. Captain Obvious Dec 17, 13:42

First thing I noticed when Nominoptions popped. Just like with the TVoptions, that tab was a great time-saver. {nm} Willroast Dec 17, 15:25

Yea, I know. It was there the whole time for easy access. I agree, was a nice time saver. {nm} Coco82 Dec 17, 16:19
