Playing & Trading Strategy

am i the only one whos been kicked around like a soccer ball all week? what a week...i never seen so much red in my life... {nm} horrorfanatic Sep 10, 12:56

I have seen worst but I did lose millions this past 10 days. Always seem to catch the wrong direction for major movers. Oh well. {nm} DiNar0 Sep 10, 18:27

This game is seasonal. Just one of the things you have to learn. {nm} ndmaster Sep 10, 21:52

This. think back. What happened last sept? Hint: my port sure gets messy over the summer... {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Sep 12, 09:42

Every Sept, summer traders sell off stocks. Since it's often not predictible, i usually just hold course and stocks correct later {nm} JDolphin Sep 12, 14:36

Support the first Studio not opposed to film futures trading, invest in [LGFX] 2016. Lionsgate Studio Fund Sep 10, 12:03

Good luck to all the Studio funds, and new fund managers {nm} Dorfman Sep 10, 09:03

I iwsh there was an easier way to find out which funds had changed management. Good luck to all new managers (and old ones too)! {nm} Willroast Sep 10, 13:56

By my estimate holding every moviestock takes "only" $2-3 billion. Do ports much bigger than that hold a lot of cash? {nm} DutchCrunch Sep 10, 08:10

Yes - my cash on its own would be ranked in the mid-20s LTD, and I can't wait for September 17! Come on Fed rate rises! {nm} RogerMore Sep 10, 08:13

Is it still fun? What keeps it challenging for you? {nm} DutchCrunch Sep 10, 08:18

That specific stat is crazy to my ears. Just you cash would be top 20 LTD. That is straight up crazytown! {nm} Willroast Sep 10, 13:54

Because of not reshorting, I have totoal investments of 6.2B, cash of 5.08B. Reshorting is not worth the effort to give up 2pct mrbinns Sep 11, 12:11

The trick is know WHICH WAY to hold EVERY stock... v-e-r-y tricky!! {nm} Flash Sep 10, 11:42

I thought the trick was knowing which stocks to run screaming from. Or was that a Horror IPO not on the calendar yet? {nm} DTravel Sep 10, 12:22

Do you guys use tools to manage those insane portfolios? DutchCrunch Sep 10, 04:29

I would have thought that 'trade automation' would be against the rules. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Sep 10, 05:05

Movies that open in imax first then go wide a week later. Is the adjust 2.7 or 3.0 + previous? MattW Sep 07, 18:28

Typically, movies that go "limited" first and THEN open wide the adjust is 2.7 + previous Box Office {nm} Flash Sep 08, 08:25

flash its 3.0 islander Sep 08, 08:31

Most limited to wide are 3.0, except that the only IMAX-limited to regular-wide that I could think of is interstellar and that was 2.7 {nm} MattW Sep 08, 08:53

interstellar opened the wed. it was going wide so thus it got the Weekdays BO +(2.7 * wknd). The Walk will be limited for a whole week prior islander Sep 08, 09:07

MISS4 - but its adjust multiplier was 2.2 {nm} RogerMore Sep 08, 10:05

Correct..I should've check the glossary! Good thing I said "typically!" thanks for the update! {nm} Flash Sep 08, 11:05

Well, by rule says 3.0 for now, but there hasn't been a precedent yet. I would think the eventual delist be closer to 2.7. {nm} Antibody Sep 08, 12:04

So far it seems if a movie is limited for less than a week it gets the normal weekend multiplier (MISS4 was 6 days limited).... MattW Sep 09, 11:26

70MM print is not considered Large Format, so HATE8 is not the same as EVRST and TWALK. {nm} Antibody Sep 08, 12:06

When does the Inside Out blockbuster warrant cash out? More- Moulsdale Sep 07, 16:27

good catch. cashouts are pushed to tuesday when monday is a holiday. but yeah it looks like hsx forgot to put it on the calendar. islander Sep 07, 17:14

Thanks to the both of you. {nm} DiNar0 Sep 07, 17:36

Great thanks for that; Moulsdale Sep 08, 03:10

For someone relatively new, you are asking much better questions than I did when I was new-ish like you. Kudos. DiNar0 Sep 08, 13:08

Investment tip but EURO. it's starting off slow, and it won't be in the 20' long. BUY Today! tatoufan Sep 05, 11:08

Congratulations to winners of August Port Value League Competition (results inside) Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Sep 04, 21:50

Grads were previously removed and leagues reset. Leagues are "screened" again, now that the pending list is fixed. {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Sep 04, 21:50

I think you'll find that I outscored Strider throughout the month in the 200-400 million port but whatever. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Sep 05, 00:32

Strider was deducted 73.40% for the joining glitch. 126.09-73.40=52.69. You scored 35.82%. {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Sep 05, 00:43

Between August 1 and the present Strider907 has increased his port by 32.83%... hyperzeitgeist Sep 05, 00:59

My "math" is a screen print of every league. I checked every player when they joined to note the size of the glitch, if any.. Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Sep 05, 01:14

I'm not criicizing your 'process'. I think you do an amazing job. Just pointing out that the glitch has thrown... hyperzeitgeist Sep 05, 01:25

I appreciate that, but I am not saying you are wrong...i am saying that there is little else i can do...unless someone has an idea. Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Sep 05, 01:35

Hey Rocket, it looks like you've found a solution that works for you but, just in case, what I do in this situation is just not include... Willroast Sep 05, 14:51

I have had an epiphany...I will recalculate based on joining value, not glitch %. That's going to change a few outcomes. Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Sep 05, 09:13

Glad to be of assistance :) {nm} hyperzeitgeist Sep 05, 10:22

You really were. I have redone all the data and reconfirmed with the other leagues you mentioned and the math works exactly. {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Sep 05, 11:18
