Playing & Trading Strategy

I know tracking has been good lately but I bet against Dune in all opportunities this time. Guillo Mar 01, 11:24

Dune 2 made $12M on Thursday... so it appears to be heading towards a very good weekend. {nm} JoshuaL Mar 02, 05:38

Now $32M on Friday... Dune 2 might reach 100M by Sunday or Monday {nm} JoshuaL Mar 02, 15:27

I got it wrong but still I get wash. Like I said I had far more chances of making something if it went the other way. {nm} Guillo Mar 03, 10:13

Focusing too much on my fantasy soccer team, completely missed AELLI {nm} SirWinstonNewkirk Feb 21, 10:44

😮 {nm} Rocket Feb 21, 13:44

I am bleeding today but tomorrow should be green enough to give hermit the frog a complex. Guillo Feb 19, 07:40

1.4 M effect if you consider that part of that profit is already counted in. For me is a good result for derivatives. {nm} Guillo Feb 19, 07:52

Re: Dune2: Are there many sequels/2nd parts that do as much better than the original as this is priced to do? {nm} terraformingearth Feb 13, 09:34

NM-I just realized Part 1 was when a lot of people wouldn't go to theaters. {nm} terraformingearth Feb 13, 09:42

Baby steps - Moved into the top 5000 (4995) ballpark_frank Feb 13, 06:40

Nice! {nm} bchicken Feb 14, 17:52

Everyone has to start somewhere. *thumb up* {nm} DTravel Feb 17, 10:38

We all started at the same place... {nm} ndmaster Feb 22, 11:39

Its a bingo! {nm} ndmaster Feb 22, 11:38

Matthew Macfadyen is a dud listing today. Already pre-calculated at post-deadpool adjust. No money there for some time... Rocket Feb 11, 12:55

I calculate the same for what it is worth. {nm} DTravel Feb 11, 13:08

Has anyone figured out when TZOIN delists? {nm} grammar Feb 03, 00:58

March 5, 2024 - thanks Kaigee :) {nm} grammar Feb 03, 01:04

Unless it expands wide which is very close. {nm} Antibody Feb 08, 16:14

Kaigee: Certificate issue, can you please fix? {nm} goodvibe61 Feb 01, 09:15

Fixed now. Good for 3 more months. {nm} KaiGee Feb 01, 18:39

Thanks! {nm} goodvibe61 Feb 02, 01:06

How long after it comes out on Netflix does it normally delist? Thinking of UDOGG. {nm} terraformingearth Jan 29, 10:13

UDOGG is delisting today. {nm} DTravel Jan 29, 10:44

So, within a week then? {nm} 183Phi Jan 30, 08:54

It varies, depending on whether there is theatrical release Noah66 Jan 30, 10:32

When looking at Award Options, adding up all of the prices of a particular categories options totals this: ndmaster Jan 28, 20:58

They are priced so that if a player buys everything on the day of IPO, they will break even at time of delist. vanssa Jan 29, 18:17

Good job ignoring my questions, which I bolded for emphasis. ndmaster Jan 30, 00:03

That happens every year. Generally, categories with a single frontrunner have falling totals. {nm} ribwoods1 Feb 05, 15:47

... So now, buying all 10 Best Picture is guaranteed profit even if there's a surprise winner. {nm} ribwoods1 Feb 05, 16:03

Updated totals. Plus a little analysis ndmaster Feb 05, 22:52

Actor and Actress have two frontrunners. Director is still significantly below 25. {nm} ribwoods1 Feb 06, 06:55

Screenplay usually doesn't spark much passion. {nm} ribwoods1 Feb 06, 07:01

Supporting A/A each have a single frontrunner. {nm} ribwoods1 Feb 06, 07:06

Buying all Supporting and all Pic remain guaranteed profiteers.0 ribwoods1 Feb 06, 07:14

Yeah, but nowhere near as much as buying the favorite and shorting the rest. ndmaster Feb 06, 10:28

Of course not {nm} ribwoods1 Feb 07, 07:10

It means traders are more confident on the ones that won’t win, less confident on who will win. MattW Feb 07, 12:56

Monkey Man set a record for me for % increase- >4,000% {nm} terraformingearth Jan 28, 16:24

Delta House up 19,750 percent on one MovieStock today alone -- also, Monkey Man probably was a multiple of that a week or so ago {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Jan 29, 14:11

Over 67000% for me 😉 (bought at 0.02) {nm} Rocket Jan 29, 15:58

soon as I saw wide release it was a buy {nm} unaturalx Jan 30, 02:50

Can we talk about Star Bond Management? goodvibe61 Jan 27, 09:52

I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, Starbonds are long term investments. I do not day trade them at all. Rocket Jan 27, 10:14

PS, I recognize you are higher in the LTD board than I, but my response is not exclusively for you :) {nm} Rocket Jan 27, 10:17

Thanks. Good tips - Particularly like your point about movies still in theaters - tricky for back-to-back TAGs {nm} ballpark_frank Jan 27, 10:57

I made a spreadsheet. DTravel Jan 27, 12:45

I used a spreadsheet when I ran the Oscar Fund. Too much work for me now. {nm} Rocket Jan 27, 15:59

A couple things: I assume you have tons of cash sitting around, why not max every bond? Bond_Port Jan 27, 13:46

Not every Starbond is profitable. Many won't adjust by enough to cover the commissions on the trades. {nm} DTravel Jan 27, 15:32

I meant every bond they hold. Obviously, I didn't mean to take a position in every bond. That was one of my main points of my IM. {nm} Bond_Port Jan 27, 17:22

Sorry, misunderstood. {nm} DTravel Jan 28, 11:12

Also, I mean, Jesus, you are ranked number 15 ALL TIME. Come on... {nm} Bond_Port Jan 27, 13:47

True... but his is an excellent conversation starter. We used to share this Rocket Jan 27, 16:03

Yes; i put this on here to hopefully drive some conversation about it. And while I'm way up there rankings wise.... goodvibe61 Jan 27, 16:41

Personally I will hold based on what the math says. I don't try to chase the daily wobbles and herd movements. Saves a lot on commissions. {nm} DTravel Jan 27, 21:19

Personally, I never jump on that train. Set it and forget it. {nm} Rocket Jan 27, 21:26

For me, the trickiest part of managing star bonds are limited release films that they may be attached to CButera Jan 27, 15:00

I "play through" the zero reported box office movie. Rocket Jan 27, 16:02

I'm with you; the overall change in a star's TAG can really throw you for a loop if you miss it. Keep you hopping for sure. goodvibe61 Jan 27, 18:27

I pretty much wait until a movie opens to take positions in the attached bonds, unless it's something that will obviously.... bchicken Jan 28, 18:06

DESM4 News today was nice for some bonds {nm} ndmaster Jan 28, 21:03

Today is a great example of the complexities of Star Bond Management! Long term is great if you see it. {nm} goodvibe61 Jan 28, 22:35

Did American Dream: The 21 Savage St (AD21S) set a record short time between IPO and delist ballpark_frank Jan 27, 08:41

What is "ROTO"? When I mentioned doubling my portfolio value in 2023 and hoping for the same in 2024, someone recommended investing in ROTO. {nm} Taopuppy Jan 26, 12:12

Roto is the nickname of a controversial and prolifigate poster/player on HSX, fuller name is RotoHockey/RotoHockeyYTD2014. {nm} DTravel Jan 26, 14:19

Did something change with the rank? spudboy2 Jan 24, 17:51

All inactive trader accounts (active=traded in the last 5 years) have been removed from leader boards {nm} Workinman Jan 24, 19:51

Ok, Thank you. {nm} spudboy2 Jan 24, 21:41

…. and here I thought I was kicking ass this past month 😆 {nm} unaturalx Jan 27, 00:17

LOL - I 'leapfrogged' about 50% of the accounts that were ahead of me (yay me!), but my percentile dropped quite a bit (dang it). ballpark_frank Jan 27, 02:14

I was at 98.9 now I’m 91.7. That seems unlikely. {nm} eternal warrior Feb 11, 16:31

That's your percentile, it dropped because there so many less ports. Your rank (as in how many ports are ahead of you) went up for the same DTravel Feb 11, 17:18

Thanks. That makes sense {nm} eternal warrior Feb 12, 11:56

Did I have an HSX dream, or was there an I.S.S. OW warrant? {nm} terraformingearth Jan 24, 07:22

Search for ".OW" {nm} ndmaster Jan 24, 17:55

Thanks, found it, but what's happening with it? It already opened, didn't it? terraformingearth Jan 25, 10:14

There never was an ISS.OW ndmaster Jan 25, 20:44

There was, I shorted it at $3.58, but now it has disappeared. {nm} terraformingearth Jan 26, 07:15

Back again. It's on my portfolio. {nm} terraformingearth Jan 26, 07:33

You're dreaming. You were right in the first place {nm} ndmaster Jan 26, 09:10

FINALLY!!! Hit my first billion. Whew, almost 20 years I've been playing this site. Thanks for all the fun! {nm} El_Queso_Blanco Jan 24, 06:24

Oh, what a feeling! {nm} SirWinstonNewkirk Jan 24, 06:54

congrats {nm} oneman Jan 24, 07:20

Congrats! I'm still at $873m after 21 years (around 6 inactive), so you're doing better than I am. [nm] seastrt Jan 24, 07:47

The first billion is the hardest. Now the earning gets easier! Congrats!!! {nm} fwerner Jan 24, 12:29

Its a bingo! {nm} ndmaster Jan 24, 17:55

TVSrocks {nm} Workinman Jan 23, 12:23

Ugh sorry about above…TVStocks, exactly how long after season finale do they halt, and how long after halt do they delist? {nm} Workinman Jan 23, 12:25

Probably should be asked on the TVStocks board... {nm} ndmaster Jan 23, 14:01
