[SCIFI] Looks like a delist SCIFund Dec 15, 12:20

Nice!! {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Dec 15, 15:12

Now the question is, when's the delist, before or after the weekend! {nm} The_1250_Man Dec 15, 16:15

Set to cash out tomorrow Dec 16 {nm} Baron_Darcon Dec 15, 19:41

But if it didn't cashout until after STAR7 released, it could feasibly be worth well over H$100 at cashout, right? {nm} DTshakes Dec 16, 10:51

One could argue that STAR7 isn't really SCIFI. {nm} Antibody Dec 16, 12:11

There are more definitions of "Science Fiction" than there are works that might be "Science Fiction" {nm} DTravel Dec 16, 12:25

There's a definition on the SCIFI fund page. SF - narrative dealing principally with the impact of actual or imagined science on society or {nm} Antibody Dec 16, 12:41

We had this discussion when we were redefining the fund a few years ago srrichardson Dec 17, 02:03

I inquired and was told I could use Star Wars by Antibody prior to purchase. Also Sci-Fi will not IPO...inside SCIFund Dec 17, 09:02

Well-Done, EarlyRetirement, And Thank You For The Holiday Cash! {nm} kibitzer Dec 16, 09:10

Thanks for the moo-lah! Long live the Sci-Fi fund! {nm} DTshakes Dec 16, 10:52

Thank You! {nm} DiNar0 Dec 16, 11:26

1 million HSX$ commission to sell and then short STAR7 {nm} ChifferBrane Dec 15, 11:58

Why would you want to short it? {nm} hyperzeitgeist Dec 15, 14:37

Likely thinking they will make more on it, hate to say it this is one movie likely to keep on rising until delist {nm} The_1250_Man Dec 15, 16:16

Here is my thinking...Virtually all of the blockbusters with large Thursday openings have skewed weekend totals. If 2.7 is a true Buy BONDS Silver edition Dec 16, 06:14

You're a braver man than me if you decide to back your theory. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Dec 16, 08:11

Kinda itching towards shorting now.... {nm} DiNar0 Dec 16, 11:25

WOM will be huge. Many repeat watches {nm} OPENRfund Dec 17, 19:54

It's just prior to Christmas. Everything is a long from this point forward. JoeMetz Dec 19, 16:57

STAR7 = too big to fail {nm} Exogen Dec 16, 16:36

Just as a PSA: I believe the highest a movie stock has ever gotten is ultron at H$588.99 MattW Dec 14, 17:39

I doubt it ndmaster Dec 14, 19:21

I was really curious about that thanks. Currently the market value of all the shares in SW7 is $312.8 billion {nm} Baron_Darcon Dec 14, 19:47

I don't think there's more than a couple thousand active players MattW Dec 14, 19:57

I wonder how many active players we have... I'm guessing the higher the ranks the more active the players. As I go up the ranks I usually Baron_Darcon Dec 14, 21:25

As we inched up the ranks, you'll notice more inactive accounts or on automated modes (players who logged in once or twice a year) {nm} DiNar0 Dec 15, 08:31

Gav - witching hour - qix - social media futures... I must be dim, cause i cant make ( lions ) head or tail of this info. {nm} jmt-nl Dec 14, 13:07

Just imagine Roger Van Zant playing with his spreadsheets & you'll be fine. {nm} Lionsgate Studio Fund Dec 14, 13:20

Shorting? ndmaster Dec 12, 19:04

Players are gonna play. What can you say? {nm} Awards Fund Dec 12, 22:13

yes i shorted some some nominoptions.... jaymel Dec 13, 01:46

Meaning, you're not even making an educated guess? ndmaster Dec 13, 17:11

It may be exhaustion from work or climbing over all these dead actors' bodies but I believe I see double B's. {nm} DTravel Dec 11, 17:41

Nice! {nm} islander Dec 11, 18:07

Well done there {nm} blaze223 Dec 12, 10:46

Looking at stock data from past movies dmoc999 Dec 11, 11:04

Go to Advanced Search > Security Type > Active & Delisted or just changed the url from XMEN6 to 5 to 4 to 3... {nm} Antibody Dec 11, 11:44

Great - thanks! {nm} dmoc999 Dec 11, 11:53

WOW...everythings in the green today.... so far....miracles really do happen... {nm} horrorfanatic Dec 11, 08:49

Probably because there were.delists today {nm} tealfan Dec 11, 11:52

And the Nominoptions from yesterday moving {nm} JDolphin Dec 11, 13:18

Selling stock at the right time platonm Dec 11, 04:52

It's all about what you think will happen. In this case it is tough to call because I think this movie defies predictions. It should be a... Willroast Dec 11, 06:57

Movies in wide release delist at a price that represents earnings for the 1st four weeks.... Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Dec 11, 07:21

So do movies adjust for delist price or is it stricktly based on trading? {nm} platonm Dec 11, 08:07

strictly* {nm} platonm Dec 11, 08:08

After opening weekend, the stock price never "adjusts" again...the price is based on market forces...until it delists at its gross earnings. {nm} Flash Dec 11, 08:55

Right now, it doesn't matter what it's total take is, only opening weekend. ndmaster Dec 11, 07:25

You're wrong about AVATR. Adjusted: H$197.10 Delisted: H$430.85 {nm} Antibody Dec 11, 11:04

Nevermind, I misread your wording. {nm} Antibody Dec 11, 11:05

Then you're wrong about JURA4: Adjusted: H$552.41 Delisted: H$556.54 {nm} Antibody Dec 11, 11:08

Haha I was talking about more substantial increase, like adjusted to 552 delisted at 725 or something crazy like that {nm} platonm Dec 11, 11:20

Compare the adjusts and delisted of big movies opening in mid-December. LOTR/Hobbit, Sherlock Holmes 2, Tron 2, etc {nm} RogerMore Dec 11, 15:58

*delists {nm} RogerMore Dec 11, 15:58

I am begining to think it is time to sell SW7 since i am up 45 %, but i have nowere to put the cash :) {nm} mattep74 Dec 15, 08:54

NominOptions - A Way To Make Life Slightly Easier <INSIDE>. RotoHockey2013Main Port Dec 10, 23:29

Or just go to the nominoption page... {nm} lapuckfan Dec 10, 23:56

Yes, just saw that when Opening a New HSX Window - Click on 'And The Nominees Are' on the Main HSX Page. {nm} RotoHockey2013Main Port Dec 10, 23:59

You can't get to the NominOption Page without either Exiting HSX & Re-entering or Opening a New HSX Window. {nm} RotoHockey2013Main Port Dec 11, 00:43

Yes you can - 'On the Exchange Menu' > 'Now Trading' - bottom right corner Nominoptions {nm} JDolphin Dec 11, 00:45

Thanks - never Click on that - except by Accident. {nm} RotoHockey2013Main Port Dec 11, 00:56

I never had before, but I was looking for an easier place to find the nominoptions so I was clicking everywhere {nm} JDolphin Dec 11, 01:14

But it should be easier to get to. Hasn't it been in the menu and on the announcements line in past years? {nm} JDolphin Dec 11, 00:50

Yes, there used to be a NominOption Link at the Bottom of 'On The Exchange' where 'All Derivatives' is. {nm} RotoHockey2013Main Port Dec 11, 00:57

Is there a way to see the "maximum allowed" shares of a derivative before the IPO goes active? pnw_wildcat Dec 10, 08:24

Films are 100,000; Starbonds 20,000; OW derivs 10,000; calls & puts 20,000; TV stocks 20,000; NominOptions 20,000. {nm} FranklynStreet Dec 10, 10:00

Sorry, typo-- OW should be 100,000 (not 10,000) {nm} FranklynStreet Dec 10, 10:01

Great! Thanks! {nm} pnw_wildcat Dec 10, 10:01

Anything other than put and calls have a 100,000 share maximum ndmaster Dec 10, 10:01

No. Not TV stocks or NominOptions, they're both 20,000 as well {nm} FranklynStreet Dec 10, 10:02

And Starbonds of course, also 20,000 {nm} FranklynStreet Dec 10, 10:03

And if you'd read my IM, you would have seen that I said that. ndmaster Dec 11, 07:19

Go to Help Topics (bottom of page) > How to Trade > Position Limits (link) JDolphin Dec 11, 00:54

Almost there, almost there, almost there.... {nm} DTravel Dec 10, 07:46

Just gotta win classic cash 9 more times and you've got it :p {nm} MattW Dec 10, 16:57

How many people here put in limit orders for IPOs to help the stock move for the next day?I hope some of the whales here do that to help out {nm} Baron_Darcon Dec 09, 19:38

That's not the way limit orders work, if I understand what you are asking. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Dec 10, 08:16

Some do. most don't. I used to till I got bored. :/ {nm} DiNar0 Dec 10, 12:12

From what I understand waiting to buy until the IPO is price unlocked is how it really moves, momentum, snowball downhill effect. Baron_Darcon Dec 10, 12:51

Yeah, but you can't set a limit order "on trend"... Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Dec 11, 07:17

When do derivatives (call/put/ow etc.) become "active" ZeroGrowth Dec 09, 12:11

12:01am pacific the day after IPO, at reset. {nm} MattW Dec 09, 12:30

Thanks ZeroGrowth Dec 09, 12:35

Development of a starbond "Tool of the Trade" question <inside>... JustWondering Dec 09, 09:33

Some years ago I created an Excel spreadsheet to do all the starbond calculations. DTravel Dec 09, 19:17

It's been months since I uploaded something. I can try to clean it up if someone needs it. {nm} SportsFund Dec 09, 19:42

EdZep, my nosy does not work with all functions today, all the other scripts without problem. Any idea? sphere Dec 09, 09:22

Yeah, display uses HSX announcement bar; currently HSX is not displaying the announcement bar... one of the few times in the past 6 or 7 edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 09, 09:41

Can you email hsx, thanks. {nm} Antibody Dec 09, 09:47

A movie that never reports a B.O. is eventually supposed to delist correct? Example Hellions this week it went to .01 approx Baron_Darcon Dec 09, 06:18

12th Weekend after it has been released srrichardson Dec 09, 06:54

Star Wars Question.. MitchC Dec 08, 18:42

The most basic HSX question, well worth asking ndmaster Dec 08, 19:33

Thanks. MitchC Dec 08, 19:43

The question is do you think the money will make more invested in something else? srrichardson Dec 09, 06:58

... MitchC Dec 09, 09:14

You don't have go all or nothing. If you're uneasy sell 5-10k see where the price goes and think about it again. I do that alot. {nm} JDolphin Dec 08, 22:16

I don't see Rogue One being as big though.That's a one shot. I think this will be like the pent up demand satiated. Baron_Darcon Dec 09, 06:54

And I suspect you are right that the other Star Wars stocks are going to move one way of the other next Friday. :) {nm} JDolphin Dec 08, 22:22

... MitchC Dec 09, 05:11

I don't see Rogue One being as big, but imo it's not going down any time soon either, and SW7 won't underperform. FranklynStreet Dec 09, 12:24
