Playing & Trading Strategy

Please explain todays movement in MENA mattep74 Apr 19, 10:07

Most (if not all) of the "longs" were purchased in the IPO when the price was halted. The shorts were bought after midnight and affected the BSmurf Apr 19, 10:28

Aha, now i understand, TY {nm} mattep74 Apr 19, 10:31

probably also the fact a lot of people who had it long woke up this morning and saw it in the red, and sold in a panic {nm} Cj Apr 19, 13:52

Like me who sold at 31 and then bought back at 32 when it turned(yes, i lost money that day) {nm} mattep74 Apr 20, 10:20

My personal analysis: A-list Star, A-list Director, major studio and a production start date in May. It won't stay down for long. {nm} Universal 85 Fund Apr 19, 10:32

I'm with you, my friend. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 19, 22:12

My Analysis is I bet Scientology accepts Kilo Donations as well...Just don't cross them! {nm} aleksthegreat Apr 20, 21:09

I can understand why Spiderman would be priced lower than Guardians of the Galaxy but... MattW Apr 17, 13:32

The price has more to do with project uncertainty than low OW expectations. RogerMore Apr 17, 13:49

SPID6 originally had a release date 6/2016 then lost it, then in Feb announce 2017 - changes writers, etc. So traders are investing elsewher {nm} JDolphin Apr 17, 15:51

I guess that makes sense, I just figured being in league with marvel would give more confidence in it. {nm} MattW Apr 18, 11:49

Well, 258 million shares are held long against fewer than 7 million shares short, so that's one measure of confidence. RogerMore Apr 18, 13:53

Good point. Almost the same number of longs on spiderman and guardians, but spiderman has some shorts too, not a big difference overall. {nm} MattW Apr 20, 12:44

Milestone: I reached 10 million today {nm} mattep74 Apr 16, 10:44

Good work there {nm} blaze223 Apr 16, 11:17

Do fund managers earn anything, similar to a management fee on a Stockmarket Mutual Fund? nkliph3 Apr 16, 05:47

Ba hahahahaha! Awards Fund Apr 16, 06:28

Thanks for volunteering to help the community, Oneman! Good luck!! {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 16, 09:32

Good luck! {nm} Dorfman Apr 17, 07:25

Good Luck! {nm} SCIFund Apr 18, 06:37

Follow-up to FAST7 discussions - I've put a shiny new chart up at HSXsanity measuring FAST7's performance to date against other F&F movies RogerMore Apr 15, 07:22

thx! {nm} tealfan Apr 15, 09:25

Great feature. The methodology is especially useful as I try to make my own. Thanks RogerMore! {nm} Willroast Apr 15, 09:53

Great work, Roger!! {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 15, 12:02

2.92m for Wednesday, looking a lot like winter soldier this week. I could easily see as low as mid-20's for this weekend MattW Apr 16, 17:02

Based on today's Furious 7 number.... MattW Apr 14, 19:58

That's a pretty good estimate - about what I came up with. I'm not sure how much of it's post-delist is going to be affected by Avengers {nm} JDolphin Apr 14, 20:43

After this weekend FF7 will almost guaranteed delist below 325 MattW Apr 19, 15:41

Will someone explain the commission rates? Shifter Apr 14, 09:46

Commission is 1% of the trade value, or 2 cents per share, whichever is greater. {nm} RogerMore Apr 14, 10:15

You can also turn on a setting in your profile setup that takes you to a Trade Confirmation screen before every purchase, showing cost. {nm} slakis Apr 19, 13:15

Update: Razorhawk (The HSX Dude) removed me from league "Fans of the HSX Dude" over differences of opinion in movie board threads. No other Facto Apr 12, 19:17

(It might also be because of a technicality, for all I know: He's put me on some kind of GreaseMonkey list that makes me invisible to him on Facto Apr 12, 19:19

OH, there's a SHOCKER. RotoHockeyYTD2013MainPort Apr 12, 19:22

Of course - I had not written anything there, at least not for months, so it had nothing to do with activities in the league itself. I don't Facto Apr 12, 23:55

10 days ago you were removed from my league... I am tired of your crap, have been for a long time, don't want to deal with it anymore. RazorHawk Apr 13, 06:51

Well, it IS an approved-member-only league... just sayin'. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Apr 13, 08:43

Oops. To Facto. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Apr 13, 08:43

I was also just sayin'. If Leauges are the privat domain-****-dictatorship of the league admins, anyone should know - in case they thought Facto Apr 13, 11:12

(domaine-"come"/slash-dictatorship) Facto Apr 13, 11:22

It sure seems important enough for you to post and keep posting about it. {nm} Antibody Apr 13, 13:46

Don't make me laugh. This kind of unprofessional behavior should be addressed for people to know about. You think I should not reply when Facto Apr 13, 15:06

Dude, seriously, you are not coming off in a positive light here for several reasons. My advice is to drop both this and the blaming the Moviesnob Apr 13, 15:27

Ok, thanks for that. Please take note though that I don't see it this way that I have a "blame the victim" mentality. I get what you mean, Facto Apr 13, 20:31

yeah, PM's would be lovely {nm} Moviesnob Apr 13, 20:38

Agreed. {nm} Facto Apr 13, 20:45

Further proof that you just don't get it. {nm} Antibody Apr 13, 15:33

I get that nobody has a patent on truth. It's all subjective. Anything more to get.. ? {nm} Facto Apr 13, 20:18

My "crap" is your subjective point of views. Your actions speak to your character. Not much more to say about that. {nm} Facto Apr 13, 11:03

(or "view") {nm} Facto Apr 13, 11:03

This whole thread is just another example of your crap... RazorHawk Apr 13, 12:27

Point it, this is your subjective opinions and there was no argument in your league. As for the "crap" you feel you've taken from me, I Facto Apr 13, 15:21

Do you think about the crap that you ... before you say it? RazorHawk Apr 13, 16:26

It varies. Now, razorhawk, to me it's a bit weird how you take things so seriously in a game that could disappear at short warning. Clearly, Facto Apr 13, 20:21

That's Hilarious! Respect your LEADERS SONNY BOY {nm} aleksthegreat Apr 13, 09:17

Not taking you seriously, Aleks, but in any case: To the extent that a league admin is a "leader", her or his leadership style should be Facto Apr 13, 11:34

Just like your accepted into a league, the admin always has control over ones stay..BOW DOWN TO THE THRONE! Just make sure he's no Lannister {nm} aleksthegreat Apr 13, 18:28

Yeah yeah, I get it. It's like facebook groups. I admin a few rather big such myself. One about a movie, one about politics and society Facto Apr 13, 20:44

RAZOR THIS GUYS SCARES ME! SEND THE LITTLE HAWKS AFTER HIM to take him AWAY FAR FROM THIS UTOPIA! {nm} aleksthegreat Apr 13, 21:01

Once again, you are oblivious to the irony of your own critique. Antibody Apr 14, 10:36

Get your Golf Clubs out, Facto. He's Searching the Golf Courses of Southern Florida again. Will Help Search. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013MainPort Apr 14, 11:18

+1 {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 14, 14:24

No I was fully expecting Razor to come back with something more. As for the justice system, this shows how little you understand, sadly. Facto Apr 14, 15:06

Btw, when you are removed from a league, it remains in your list of membership in leagues, but with a red X and the word removed. It should Facto Apr 14, 15:15

That does get on my nerves. I have several. One from each of the PVL leagues I graduated from.. {nm} Dorfman Apr 14, 20:10

Top MovieFunds for the Week Awards Fund Apr 11, 12:11

Congrats to everybody! Extra congrats to the LatinoFund for doing it with such a limited playlist. Well played all around gang! {nm} SEETVFund Apr 12, 12:24

Thank you FAST7! {nm} Universal 84 Fund Apr 13, 09:14

Personal best today 1,6 million+, 1,2 is thanks to Black Tower(bought 100k minutes after the news came, sold 75 % at 20) {nm} mattep74 Apr 10, 23:33

FAST7 predictions... Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 10, 17:05

I'm going with $320. Let's see if this pastes properly... Roger More Apr 10, 17:24

I'll try once more... Roger More Apr 10, 17:25

(dammit!) {nm} Roger More Apr 10, 17:27

Gotcha - so my question is this... Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 10, 18:21

There are a bunch of factors, but I think they all cancel each other out RogerMore Apr 10, 19:37

Thanks for your response, Roger More! {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 10, 20:24

Oh, I just remembered that FAST7's OW was underestimated, so the adjust was lower than it should have been RogerMore Apr 11, 09:10

So like... Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 11, 11:58

I'll say 328 {nm} RogerMore Apr 11, 14:00

I tend to pick an early number(usually a little higher than final) and and then revise as each weekend box office unfolds. My initial number JDolphin Apr 10, 22:35

Thanks for the great input! {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 11, 11:58

Dang, you were dead on {nm} MattW Feb 05, 19:42

331 {nm} Universal 100 Fund Apr 11, 07:23

Direct and to the point :) Thanks!! {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 11, 11:59

You should show your math. {nm} Antibody Apr 13, 14:04

No, no, don't do that. You get called names by Homer Simpson! You don't want that :P {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Apr 13, 19:28

The number zed reminds me of a doh-nut! {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 13, 21:43

See comparison with HGAME Antibody Apr 13, 13:48

This is a good piece of data, here. Interesting. Thanks Anti. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 13, 21:42

I mean - it's uncanny how close these numbers are {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 13, 21:44

Blockbuster Warrant Question. mskc Apr 09, 05:10

this happens frequently with warrants.stock prices are based on a secret formula of shares held, bought & sold, volatility, and more...and> islander Apr 09, 06:16

thanks! mskc Apr 09, 06:31

Anyway to put the date of the cashout on these? It's annoying to always get my calendar out! {nm} Shifter Apr 09, 09:22

would be nice. but rocket (pvl admin) usually posts a weekly warrant updateon the movies board with delist date and other info islander Apr 09, 09:43

The detail page of the .bw has a link back to the origiinal stock, which has that stock's release date. Just add 80 days. {nm} Buy StarBonds Fund Apr 10, 06:06

January 16th + 80 = i dont think these things can be added {nm} islander Apr 10, 06:16

Sure they can - with this Handy-Dandy Date Calculator. RotoHockeyYTD2013MainPort Apr 10, 14:21

They can be in Excel since dates are stored as "number of days since 1/1/1900" in it. DTravel Apr 12, 11:00

good to know thanks! {nm} islander Apr 13, 13:10

Is it ok to post movie stock and star bonds we know will do well to help others out? {nm} Shifter Apr 08, 10:53

Only if you have the math/box office to back it up. No shilling. {nm} Antibody Apr 08, 10:56

Then it might appear obvious that if Oscaar Isaac doesn't have anything else in his way he will do reall well in the next 8 months. {nm} Shifter Apr 08, 10:59

Sorry about typing extra letters. Not exactly sure how that happened. {nm} Shifter Apr 08, 11:01

He does have something before, and 8 months is a long time. {nm} Antibody Apr 08, 11:27

This is true, but in his defense, it's a great "won't break the bank" property for small ports :) {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 08, 12:10

small ports shouldn't tie their money up in this one, he will adjust for EXMCH in 12 weeks (if it reports) {nm} lapuckfan Apr 08, 13:03

Most likely, it will not only report but have a small wide release. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 08, 19:57

No, there are StarBonds with much better ROIs. {nm} Antibody Apr 08, 14:24

Um.... is there? You give me another one that's ~20:1 in under a year ;) {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 08, 19:10

er... 10:1 {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 08, 19:15

if Ex Machina reports then the bond is not 10-1 for next adjust. Go look at MAPST bonds {nm} JDolphin Apr 08, 23:59

I didn't say for next adjust. We're talking about 8 months. I am supporting 10:1 in 8 months. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 09, 00:22

It does matter. You'll be losing H$ for the next 3 months (EXMCH), when it could've been better invested elsewhere. {nm} Antibody Apr 09, 10:32

All better ROI for the next 90 days Antibody Apr 09, 10:33

Oh sorry - can you show me where I said buy it immediately? {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 09, 16:10

What the hell? There is plenty of advance notice here. Schedule it in outlook or something. Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 09, 16:12

OISAA is only a good cur investment if you don't play very often. Otherwise put that money elsewhere and buy him after Ex Machina adjusts {nm} JDolphin Apr 09, 00:02

I agree with that - until exmachina adjusts. However, it IS a valid strategy for the game... Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 09, 07:38

Who logs in once every 8 months? {nm} Antibody Apr 09, 10:26

If they don't check in once a week or once a month, are they going to remember to check in 8 months when it adjusts? If you don't play often JDolphin Apr 09, 11:13
