When a person dies that's the end of his HSX life also {nm} JDolphin Jun 11, 13:03

answer... RazorHawk Jun 11, 13:12

Exception is if the film has already opened, then the StarBonds will adjust/delist at the new TAG. {nm} Antibody Jun 11, 15:13

UNIVX Fund sets JURA4 adjust target of H$374 [logic inside] Universal 125 Fund Jun 11, 08:52

How did you come at the $32,500 PTA? (not disagreeing, just asking) {nm} RogerMore Jun 11, 09:01

I used BOM top 25 as a general reference for blockbuster PTAs. Although it is definitely running hot right now, Universal 125 Fund Jun 11, 09:15

Thanks {nm} RogerMore Jun 11, 09:23

I'm not gonna get all giddy about your prediction, but I sure hope so :) {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Jun 11, 09:02

Tabs are off if trying to sort in a league list. spudboy2 Jun 10, 09:41

The Feedback & Support board is the best place to post this. {nm} RogerMore Jun 10, 11:09

After almost a week around 48-49 i finally reached 50 million. {nm} mattep74 Jun 09, 12:28

Woo Hoo! And I see you are 13th on the YTD leaderboard. Good Trading! {nm} JDolphin Jun 09, 12:56

congrats! {nm} tealfan Jun 09, 13:01

Great Job!! Keep up the good work. {nm} Quickslver99 Jun 09, 13:22

Took me 6 months to get to H$50m, you did it in half that so nice job. {nm} MattW Jun 09, 19:06

Well done there {nm} blaze223 Jun 10, 11:54

I'm only up to the 8 million mark. Only after 4 months of being on HSX. {nm} DouglasPennington Jun 10, 16:37

Nice {nm} keegan25 Jun 12, 05:46

Commission Rate? MitchC Jun 07, 04:20

Straight from the HSX Glossary: Commish is 1% when selling, with 2 cent per share minimum, & no commish when a stock delists. {nm} Flash Jun 07, 07:33

..and also when buying stocks. {nm} Flash Jun 07, 07:33

Rebuying to take the profits? That makes no sense. That only works with re-shorting... {nm} lapuckfan Jun 07, 08:14

Thanks MitchC Jun 07, 13:58

shout out to RomeoMC - 252.71% gain this week, last trade May 27 {nm} andy007 Jun 06, 19:39

Port is obviously Operating on (Tom) Cruise Control. Captain Obvious Jun 06, 22:51

The account was credited for a glitch that occurred on May 27th. {nm} Antibody Jun 08, 11:24

HSXsanity's Chart of the Week is 1952 RogerMore Jun 06, 13:14

I'm thinking 85.5 at this point... {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Jun 06, 16:18

San Andreas MattW Jun 06, 11:02

I'm currently estimating 137 but it should drop when JURA4 is released. Your estimates, therefore, make good sense to me. {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Jun 06, 11:11

I was thinking closer to 120 at first. The actuals from last weekend and the weekdays being higher threw me off some. {nm} MattW Jun 06, 11:47

after this wknd I'm at 131... Expect it to drop more. IMO {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Jun 08, 05:37

That's around what I get using my methods (chart coming to HSXsanity next week) RogerMore Jun 06, 12:28

Top MovieFunds for the Week (no report next week) Awards Fund Jun 06, 09:05

Why would Good Kill which has already grossed $281k trade at $0.17? {nm} PhoneHome Jun 05, 07:13

Hmmm. Perhaps that question sparked a rally. {nm} PhoneHome Jun 05, 08:23

which is why talking about a specific price is frowned upon {nm} lapuckfan Jun 05, 09:30

Though posting that a stock is arb (like in this case) is OK, because it's based on data. {nm} RogerMore Jun 05, 09:39

I'm new. Wondering if there was something about limited releases that I didn't know about holding it back. {nm} PhoneHome Jun 05, 10:47

Sometimes limited releases don't get attention, because the gains in playing them are so small. RogerMore Jun 05, 11:51

The official box office reported listed on the page is $135,000. {nm} Antibody Jun 05, 11:01

BoxOfficeMojo.com reports $281,176 Domestic through May 28 {nm} PhoneHome Jun 05, 11:58

see the IM in my message above {nm} RogerMore Jun 05, 12:15

Thanks Roger. It's been difficult finding grosses or anything else on this one, so your case in point. {nm} PhoneHome Jun 05, 12:25

The box office gross on the stock apge. {nm} Antibody Jun 05, 14:39

...ends in 000 so even that have been an estimate....delist at 0.14???? {nm} Buy StarBonds Fund Jun 06, 07:55

Once a movie quits reporting box office always use what's on the movie stock page - especially when BOM still says estimated 2 weeks later {nm} JDolphin Jun 05, 12:47

But even using your numbers that's 11 cent profit (minus commission) for a movie not delisting for 10 weeks - not worth it for most traders {nm} JDolphin Jun 05, 12:49

I choose It's A Wonderful Life every single time it's a choice on Classic Cash. Anyone else have a similar go to? {nm} Initech Jun 04, 08:14

I pick 1st one (from the left) until it wins, then move on to the 2nd, repeat until I reach the end where I start all over again. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Jun 04, 08:23

Interesting. How do you keep track? {nm} Initech Jun 04, 09:05

Good memory I guess. Although you could always write it down. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Jun 04, 09:33

Third one from the left all the time {nm} blaze223 Jun 04, 09:20

Third one from the left all the time {nm} blaze223 Jun 04, 09:20

I always go with Sunset Blvd & then It's A Wonderful Life if no Sunset Blvd {nm} daveart Jun 04, 15:20

+1 (and gone with the wind) {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Jun 04, 21:30

African Queen {nm} JDolphin Jun 04, 21:59

I used to always pick Nose ratty (sp), but wasn't happy with the results. Now I go random. {nm} Willroast Jun 05, 01:19

Loving auto-correct. Nose ratty = Nosferato. {nm} Willroast Jun 05, 01:21

White posters and Red posters. must be a Canada thing {nm} ryeontherocks Jun 05, 11:39

Bullit when it comes up, great movie and poster. {nm} It's Evolution, Baby! Jun 07, 09:41

Isnt it time to refrein those posters ? Would love to see some new ones there after 10 years or so {nm} JMT-NL Jun 07, 23:36

You know what i mean :-) {nm} JMT-NL Jun 07, 23:37

I pick the poster that best corresponds to the emotion I'm feeling at the time. If I don't have a preference, I pick the first one. {nm} Xylonus Jun 08, 09:07

Pitch 3 ipo thoughts? {nm} spudboy2 Jun 04, 06:33

The price seems high to me but it'll probably go up initially and then be a slow bleeder for a while. {nm} MattW Jun 05, 09:13

i catched its ups and downs correctly the last 24 hours. Even now :-) SequelsFund Jun 08, 03:21

Is it possible to set stop loss limits? (inside) hyperzeitgeist Jun 04, 02:10

no.... RazorHawk Jun 04, 06:51

Short and to the point RH :) {nm} hyperzeitgeist Jun 04, 08:13

Is it correct than Tues, Wed, Thurs, don't count towards the derivatives? Only Fri-Sun? {nm} PhoneHome Jun 03, 15:34

Sorry, this is in reference to Entourage. {nm} PhoneHome Jun 03, 15:35

That is correct. {nm} RogerMore Jun 03, 15:37

ENTOR formula should be Previous Box Office + (2.7 * Box Office Fri-Sun) according to Market Calendar for next week. {nm} wilypueo Jun 03, 15:50

oops, that's for the adjust not for the derivatives {nm} wilypueo Jun 03, 15:52

It is written on each derivatives stockpage... RazorHawk Jun 03, 16:32

Thanks, that helps. I didn't know where the "otherwise defined" would show up, but I see it on 1952 now. Tks. {nm} PhoneHome Jun 03, 16:53

Movie stock and derivative halt for mid-week openers MattW Jun 03, 11:09

Agreed. To halt something on Wednesday two days before it even begins to calculate seems wrong. {nm} Shifter Jun 04, 10:45

Someone please help me out on comission. Shifter Jun 03, 09:35

At the bottom of the page if you click on glossary and go to commission it will tell you the answer. Basically it is 1% commission... Quickslver99 Jun 03, 10:10

just making sure.. no commission on a cashout right? {nm} andy007 Jun 03, 10:18

You are correct. If you wait until the stock cashes out you don't pay commission on it. {nm} Quickslver99 Jun 03, 10:33

Starbond Question -Help with TAG Adjustment? j03yb Jun 03, 09:19

The limited release feature will be figured in after 12 weeks. {nm} Shifter Jun 03, 09:36

Congratulations to May's PVL winners! (results inside) Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Jun 02, 21:31

Leagues were reset on time and graduates have been removed. Apply to next level when league applications are fixed. {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Jun 02, 21:32

Did i apply to early when applying for 50-100 when i had gotten 45 since i am not in? Just a friendly question {nm} mattep74 Jun 03, 12:48

Nope, 45 is the min. The lists are clear. See request to fix in Support Forum. It's on the list, but DMac is overworked as is. Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Jun 03, 13:54

Thanks Rocket! {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Jun 03, 09:29

Thanks Rocket. Good competition as always. {nm} MattW Jun 03, 11:10

PSA: I appreciate every single one of you Fund Managers. Thank you for your time and service. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Jun 02, 20:06

Yeah I second that. Takes a lot of time to keep the investors happy. {nm} Quickslver99 Jun 03, 10:04
