Playing & Trading Strategy

(I'm just griping here) Being a casual player, I did pretty well this summer, gaining over H$130 Million. CactusLand Nov 05, 13:46

There is money to be made in many other places than just stock news. {nm} ndmaster Nov 05, 19:27

You don't need to hold 100,000 of a stock, yes it makes big paydays, but also big losses. Hold more different stocks and you don't have to JLDolphin Nov 05, 22:33

The past 2 weeks have been rough, except for Marvel days. I've been happy at just breaking even every day. JDolphin has good advice. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 06, 04:10

I can tell you from my short experience that, if I trade on news, most of the time it seems I need to sell same day to realize the gain. {nm} nkliph3 Nov 06, 05:14

You learn fast grasshopper. :) {nm} Dorfman Nov 06, 05:47

Too many of 'oh this should keep going up overnight' only to lose everything the next AM. {nm} nkliph3 Nov 06, 08:35

I hate when I forget to sell off my day trades {nm} Dorfman Nov 06, 15:51

Buy starbonds stocks. Use howprofitable or kaigee {nm} mike255 Nov 07, 05:29

(Whining) Since September 5, my port has lost $30 mil and I've dropped 10 spots in ranking. The fall in the fall. {nm} BuenaOnda Nov 05, 10:49

Also had by far the worst loss yesterday in the Billionaire's Club. {nm} BuenaOnda Nov 05, 13:03

You need to re-assess your strategy. I'm 11 spots ahead, I've made 66mil since Sept 8, and 2.8 miil yesterday {nm} JLDolphin Nov 05, 22:18

Why does some stocks drop a lot once their status change to "wrap"? {nm} AgentEvil Nov 03, 18:35

There is no 'specific' answer... all stocks that are not halted or frozen... Flash Nov 04, 11:14

Also the lack of a release date at that point may be a bad sign {nm} smeagol88 Nov 04, 18:20

I know there are a few, including myself, who follow the penny stock strategy of buying penny stocks in Concept, Dev, or Production and Dorfman Nov 05, 05:45

The H Top Traders league has been reset for a new competition-147 members,find out why,hope to see you there {nm} TheHTopTradersAdmin Nov 03, 16:23

In regards to the securities that cash out today... nkliph3 Nov 03, 05:56

The stocks are halted, then the Gross is updated, and they are delisted at the updated price. ndmaster Nov 03, 06:47

Got it, thanks. Didn't know if there was a site or something that identifies stocks that are ARB before they delist? {nm} nkliph3 Nov 03, 07:42

Sometimes comments on the Movies board points them out. Doing the dirty work yourself is the best route, though! {nm} ndmaster Nov 03, 09:38

Congratulations to this Port Value League Winners for October! (Results inside) November competition has started. PVL Admin Nov 01, 17:20

Question for other old schoolers about changes over the last few years etc... Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Oct 30, 07:10

1) The changes began in November 2010, with a bump up to 75K and then a further bmp in Jan 2011 to 100K RogerMore Oct 30, 08:42

Saturday halt threw me, but I see the opening warrants now compensate for it - thanks for reply! {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Oct 30, 09:08

Answers.... RazorHawk Oct 30, 09:23

Razor - thanks for the detailed and thoughtful reply! {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Oct 30, 10:54

dumb question...is there a max value for a stock? MrZero Oct 29, 20:43

No. And yes - AVNGR adjusted to $540. {nm} RogerMore Oct 29, 21:03

MILESTONE: $4 BILLION {nm} oneman Oct 29, 07:31

Whoa! ...kudos!...not many players in FRONT of you now! :-) {nm} Flash Oct 29, 08:52

Congrats! {nm} Initech Oct 29, 08:59

Well done there blaze223 Oct 29, 09:19

Congratulations! The first $4 billion are the hardest! {nm} RogerMore Oct 29, 09:35

Nicely Done. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Oct 29, 09:48

4B in 3.5 years is fast. I'm hoping to get to 1 in two years {nm} MattW Oct 29, 10:24

In general, what things do you consider when determining how high a popular stock will go <INSIDE> nkliph3 Oct 27, 16:22

Actual Answers <INSIDE>. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Oct 27, 17:03

Agreed 2 years to release thats basically dead money unless your consistently sitting on some {nm} smeagol88 Oct 27, 17:05

Even if you reckon its going to open well over 100mill smeagol88 Oct 27, 17:21

Thanks. I'm still small, but now that I've hit ~$45 Mil I'm having trouble keeping all my cash in something worthwhile. {nm} nkliph3 Oct 28, 04:59

That'll all change in a few weeks when the Christmas movies kick in srrichardson Oct 28, 06:29

You don't have to Buy, SHORT sell as well. {nm} Antibody Oct 28, 10:16

Great! I need a place to ask newbie questions without having to hear a load of )@#W from miserable players like RazorHawk below... {nm} nkliph3 Oct 27, 08:17

hmmm, I don't think publicly disrespecting the Dude is that smart... Lucky_Muppet Oct 27, 09:49

Sure RH can defend himself but when you put as much effort into HSX as he does you might get a little testy with daftness blaze223 Oct 27, 12:58

"...get a little testy with daftness". These attitudes sure make the newbies feel welcome, let me tell ya. {nm} nkliph3 Oct 27, 16:34

Welcome to the Drizzle Drano World of Helping Hands. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Oct 27, 16:52

While the same questions DO tend to get asked over and over by new players, I've found most players will try to help with an answer... Flash Oct 27, 14:57

Dear nkliph3, thank you for your interest in the RazorHawk's HSX School League, your application has been rejected, have a nice day. {nm} RazorHawk Oct 27, 16:07

Oh So SWEET. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Oct 27, 16:48

All I can do is try to pick up the pieces and move on. {nm} nkliph3 Oct 27, 16:51

Fwiw, razor has an edge, but he's by far the most valuable person to learn from on these boards. {nm} Moviesnob Oct 27, 22:33

Depends what One wants to Learn - would put Oleg Max at the Top of the Learning Heap. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Oct 27, 23:48

No one is criticising you for asking newbie questions. RogerMore Oct 27, 15:58

Fair enough. RogerMore I did find your HSX blog per recommendation. Very helpful stuff for new players, nicely done. {nm} nkliph3 Oct 27, 16:17

Keep Asking Questions - that's one of the Best Ways to Learn. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Oct 27, 16:49

Thanks, glad you like it. And any questions you have, just ask them here. {nm} RogerMore Oct 27, 18:21

Is there a way to see intra-day movie stock activity? {nm} nkliph3 Oct 24, 09:57

<INSIDE>. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Oct 24, 10:09

HSX Navigation Bar --> On The Exchange --> Moviestocks {nm} RazorHawk Oct 24, 10:13

By Intra-day I meant charted progress throughout the day, as one might see on the stockmarket... nkliph3 Oct 24, 11:20

Thanks <INSIDE> nkliph3 Oct 24, 11:24

I think theun4gven site is exactly what you want. It uses javascript, so that needs to be enabled. Charts on HSX use javascript also. {nm} JDolphin Oct 24, 12:33

Great! Will be checking on another PC soon... {nm} nkliph3 Oct 24, 12:36

It only works for Movie Stocks. does not work for derivatives or star bonds or funds {nm} JDolphin Oct 24, 18:07

Yep, it's what you want. Then, what you want is... edzep - Port Monkey! Oct 24, 14:46

Is there an HSX suggestions box? nkliph3 Oct 24, 08:34

You should take the time to learn the game... before you start trying to change it. RazorHawk Oct 24, 09:13

While I agree completely with you in this particular case, sometimes fresh eyes and new ideas are good for progress. PVL Admin Oct 24, 09:23

Thanks... nkliph3 Oct 24, 09:32

Try buying 100k shares of AVNG2 with a H$2m port... Lucky_Muppet Oct 24, 09:19

Or join a league that measures % gains against similar port values ;) PVL Admin Oct 24, 09:22

Now where could we find one of those.... Hmmm..... :P {nm} DTravel Oct 24, 12:26

You should read RogerMore's site HSXSanity - "Because there are no dumb questions, but some questions get asked an awful lot." (link) JDolphin Oct 24, 11:12

Also...HSX uses stock purchases to SELL data to the studios, networks, etc... and if I could buy 1M shares... Flash Oct 25, 08:30

How many theatres to count as wide release on HSX i've forgotten {nm} smeagol88 Oct 22, 17:54

650 Domestically. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Oct 22, 18:56

Do any sites/sources speculate on movie opening estimates well before opening weekend? nkliph3 Oct 22, 11:23

During the 5 or so days leading up to release a lot of sites give their prediction and more often than not tracking info comes out. MattW Oct 22, 11:40

boxoffice.com has a long range forecast. It's based on social media + guesswork, and obviously before the marketing campaign gets into full RogerMore Oct 23, 08:07
