Playing & Trading Strategy

Man it's been tough eeking out "green" in the "Change Today" part of my port the past few weeks...this fall is a tough one! {nm} Flash Oct 31, 10:01

When in doubt, short everything {nm} FranklynStreet Oct 31, 10:26

Why are my shorts going *up* in price? :-) {nm} Flash Oct 31, 12:29

you are getting a finnacial wedgie? {nm} RazorHawk Oct 31, 12:36

And when your longs go down, you're getting pantsed {nm} tealfan Oct 31, 13:51

Didn't I already cover this in The Zen of HSX? {nm} DTravel Oct 31, 15:44

Yup when i looked ahead back in September I said to myself man these movies coming out are going to suck! Baron_Darcon Nov 01, 23:16

How do I sell my shorted stock? shaunwins Oct 30, 09:47

You have to use the 'cover' option. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Oct 30, 09:55

buy = sell...... short = cover {nm} RazorHawk Oct 30, 10:15

you need to "cover" your short selled stock Auney Nov 03, 06:04

How is a star's value calculated? Baron_Darcon Oct 30, 04:19

Yes ndmaster Oct 30, 05:04

Glossary (at the bottom of the page) is handy to explain the wrinkles srrichardson Oct 30, 06:24

Thanks further question about star's value.. So does a stars value get replace week for week if a star has more than 5 films Baron_Darcon Nov 01, 20:31

Not quite - a star only adjusts for a movie once - when it has just been delisted srrichardson Nov 02, 02:07

Thanks. Forgot about the $250 million value cap. Baron_Darcon Nov 02, 07:09

The adjust happens in one hit on a Tuesday unless it is a long weekend in which case its pushed back a day (the calendar is your friend!) {nm} srrichardson Nov 02, 08:36

I lost millions during the past few days but have no idea on which stocks, is theer any way you can see the evolution of the value of a jeankie Oct 30, 01:07

Not really. {nm} ndmaster Oct 30, 05:54

Ok, that's a shame. Would be pretty cool if you could see the evolution of your stocks per day somehow. :) {nm} jeankie Oct 30, 06:29

I guess when you do come to the site, you could look at each stocks individual chart on it's page. {nm} ndmaster Oct 30, 07:51

Questions about Warrants, using The Martain as an example. Baron_Darcon Oct 29, 13:12

You've got most of that right. If you buy long, you sell, if you short, then cover. BW derivatives are offered after movie makes over JDolphin Oct 29, 23:24

[FOXX] Fox Studio Fund week 7 report. hyper Oct 29, 12:33

For initial limited release movies are they delisted at 4 weeks as normal? {nm} Baron_Darcon Oct 28, 03:11

Limited release is 12 weeks. Dorfman Oct 28, 05:59

Okay but how about those movies that go wide? Then I guess once they go wide it's 4 weeks after that eh? {nm} Baron_Darcon Oct 28, 10:09

4 weekends after going Wide or 12 weekends after Limited release, whichever is first I believe. DTravel Oct 28, 11:50

slumdog millionaire went wide on its 11th weekend islander Oct 28, 11:54

Nebraska was 11 weeks as well, I believe. {nm} socby19 Oct 28, 22:06

MBFGW in Week 16 (though obviously it had delisted by then) {nm} RogerMore Oct 28, 18:54

When a limited is expanded to a wide release the clock is reset and it delists after 4 weekends of wide release {nm} RazorHawk Oct 29, 08:27

How long does a short of a actor last? Baron_Darcon Oct 28, 01:38

You need to do something srrichardson Oct 28, 03:03

Yup did the Cover option, that got rid of them. Even though Short said it expired at end of month, that only works with movies I gather. {nm} Baron_Darcon Oct 28, 03:18

Not quite srrichardson Oct 28, 04:31

It feels so pathetic to be passed in the rankings by two people who aren't even trading. {nm} BuenaOnda Oct 24, 16:36

It worse to be passed by two people who aren't even trading after you passed them a month ago :( {nm} DiNar0 Oct 24, 22:27

YES! {nm} BuenaOnda Oct 26, 12:56

Oh, you're having that problem too?? :-) {nm} Flash Oct 25, 09:12

LoL {nm} DiNar0 Oct 25, 11:07

So it's not just me. This has been my worst week since the end of April and worst month since Feb when my port was half as big {nm} MattW Oct 25, 15:22

Forgot to mention we also have Suffragette this weekend, opening October 23rd, in limited {nm} UNIVX Oct 22, 14:14

Something I never really thought about regarding trailers. Are they typically announced ahead of time (ala Star Wars) or are most stevie1der328 Oct 21, 08:42

You can check out Upcoming Movies (*link* inside) they offer release info, trailer info, dates, etc... Flash Oct 21, 09:09

Your link does not tell you about trailers in advance. {nm} Antibody Oct 21, 10:01

Sure it does...just click on future months, and some movies say "watch video" the MAY 2016 release of Angry Birds is shown...link inside. Flash Oct 22, 08:31

No, those are trailers released in the past. {nm} Antibody Oct 22, 10:31

I only meant they had trailers of future releases, not unique or never before seen ones - maybe that's the confusion?? {nm} Flash Oct 22, 14:45

I don't think the fact that movies have trailers, which come out before the movies themselves, was ever in questions {nm} FranklynStreet Oct 22, 17:04

That's not the question asked. The trailers are also right on the stock page, on the day they come out. {nm} Antibody Oct 22, 17:07

OK...you win. *smiles* {nm} Flash Oct 23, 09:11

Thanks! {nm} stevie1der328 Oct 21, 13:55

Follow the Movies Board. notfabio posted this week's trailers on Monday. I will often post about recently rated trailers from AFR Antibody Oct 21, 10:03

Thanks! {nm} stevie1der328 Oct 21, 13:55

What is the max multiplier for a movies opening WE BO? For instance if Star Wars does $250 what... Bleachigo Oct 21, 07:35

It would be 250 x 2.7 because it will be released on the Friday of a normal, non-holiday extended weekend. {nm} stevie1der328 Oct 21, 08:40

Thank you. Bleachigo Oct 21, 10:56

No. {nm} DTravel Oct 20, 13:11

Yes {nm} ndmaster Oct 20, 21:29

Do you really think I'd share it with you? {nm} ndmaster Oct 21, 09:23

I think I'm not going to believe you until you prove it, which basically does mean sharing your method. {nm} DTravel Oct 21, 10:44

I figured it out! Thanks guys!! Winning every day now!! This is like free imaginary money that I can't spend anywhere!! WooHoo!! {nm} DTshakes Oct 21, 11:27
