Sounds right. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Oct 18, 03:59

Yep {nm} tatoufan Oct 18, 04:34

Stock has an unfortunate name that some might interpret it as a call to action :) {nm} Oleg Max Oct 18, 12:49

Not really the whole picture, IMO. ndmaster Oct 23, 12:14

What percentage of movies do you short after the OW adjust and hold to delist? MattW Oct 13, 10:54

It depends what genre of movie is on offer Lucky_Muppet Oct 13, 11:06

I'd go with this answer. And the more front-loaded, the more I'm likely to short a movie {nm} JDolphin Oct 14, 21:39

bookmark {nm} perply1 Oct 23, 18:42

2.7 is across all films. genre is a big piece. so is release date and release pattern. rogermore has some good data on this {nm} Moviesnob Oct 13, 23:20

Most of 'em. ndmaster Oct 14, 06:54

Anyone have any idea what happened with the Boxofficemojo web site? Is this to be a permanent change? {nm} project Oct 11, 14:19

And any suggestions on an alternative source of info in a similar format to the prior Boxofficemojo? {nm} project Oct 11, 14:20

there is nothing out there like mojo. Numbers and boxoffice.com dont have close to the same detail {nm} Moviesnob Oct 11, 14:43

I just tried the Box Office Mojo url and its there now. (Sat 7pm PST) {nm} DTravel Oct 11, 19:18

Do you hold a Moviestock if it exceeds expectations through the weekend? nkliph3 Oct 10, 14:11

The Adjust is on Sunday. After that, the Box Office is the Determining Factor for Delist. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Oct 10, 14:43

here is how it works... RazorHawk Oct 10, 15:42

Thanks for this helpful info. nkliph3 Oct 12, 11:26

'short' is the opposite of 'buy' RazorHawk Oct 10, 09:36

If you're shorting a stock, you're betting that the price will drop. If you own one share, and it drops in price by $1, then you gain $1. {nm} Roger More Oct 10, 09:37

short selling mommy_milk_bags Oct 10, 10:14

If you own it LONG (you did a normal BUY) when you decide it's going down, then, SELL it and SHORT it, if you want to keep it in play. edzep - Port Monkey! Oct 10, 10:58

How can I call up a specific stock in my portfolio without having to scroll through the whole thing? BuenaOnda Oct 07, 15:33

Control F and then type the stock name {nm} RazorHawk Oct 07, 15:56

What's up with the IPO's of late? Lucky_Muppet Oct 07, 10:50

There is one word you need to read on an IPO's page. ndmaster Oct 07, 20:41

hmmm, I don't think you can use that argument as most Sat IPO's are also in development phase... {nm} Lucky_Muppet Oct 08, 01:32

Congratulations to 3rd Quarter PVL Winners! (Results inside) PVL Admin Oct 02, 23:31

Thanks for the effort Rocket! How are we going to get more active members for the different Port Value League's? {nm} Lucky_Muppet Oct 04, 12:00

I can only think of 2 ways...1) we send people to new players' houses and "convince" them to join, or players start testimonializing (word?) PVL Admin Oct 04, 12:14

thanks rocket. I've enjoyed the league competition so far (helps that I'm doing pretty well). {nm} MattW Oct 04, 19:11

Did you know? There are 280 players in the Port Value Leagues? {nm} PVL Admin Oct 04, 12:19

The PVLs are a great initiative for anyone who wants to stay in the game. Cheers Admin Rocket! {nm} Qix Oct 06, 20:05

Question for all the all knowing ones..... thefootballfreak Oct 02, 23:07

Avengers. You can check amount but not date. Go to advanced search (just to the left of the search on the menu bar) {nm} JDolphin Oct 02, 23:20

Au Contraire - There is a Way to Find that Information by Date <See Inside>. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Oct 02, 23:56

That's per Weekend, not per year. {nm} JDolphin Oct 03, 12:19

Thanks to you both! {nm} thefootballfreak Oct 03, 15:58

It's both Weekend & Year - Steps 3 - 7 Inclusive give you Year - Just like it Said. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Oct 03, 16:25

Your way is looking up every weekend and collecting all those, not a year at a glance. You'd be better off going to BOM {nm} JDolphin Oct 03, 16:33

BOM does not Show the HSX Delist Price. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Oct 04, 00:19

They weren't looking for delist price just movies delisted in each year. {nm} JDolphin Oct 04, 12:04

Before Roto gets picky let me clarify - the initial post did not say delist price per year. {nm} JDolphin Oct 04, 12:13

OK, first off... thefootballfreak Oct 04, 19:41

No Post Adjust Bond Shows - two straight weeks - any suggestions for another source for adjusts? (nm) Grebmor Oct 01, 21:16

As there were so much few bonds adjusting, there wasn't much profit to be made on the flip {nm} Lucky_Muppet Oct 01, 22:19

1) Calculate it yourself 2) Kaigee.com 3) Howprofitable.com/hsx (elchan's site) {nm} JDolphin Oct 02, 19:49

My apologies to the previous posters as they covered these options and my brain went right by them {nm} JDolphin Oct 02, 19:50

I have my own spreadsheet. {nm} DTravel Oct 03, 12:56

Strategy discussions for a newbie... nkliph3 Oct 01, 09:13

Try joining an "active" league where the members post useful tips Lucky_Muppet Oct 01, 09:59

keep an eye out for early wknd B.O. #s on Friday mornings. there is often a lot of $H to be made... Oleg Max Oct 01, 10:32

Thanks...best sources for the early weekend BO #s? {nm} nkliph3 Oct 01, 10:33

DL, THR, V, BO, BOG, they are all posted on the movies board pretty much as soon as they become available. {nm} Oleg Max Oct 01, 11:52

Invest in EURO... I mean funds! {nm} EuroFund Oct 07, 14:42

If you switch your position on a stock from long to short I guess the smart thing is to short first then sell... MattW Sep 30, 12:37

Not really, because when you short the price will go down so you'll get less from the sell {nm} JDolphin Sep 30, 13:55

I'm pretty sure it takes more than one trade to move a stock price. Of course, how that works is secret sauce :) [nm] Initech Sep 30, 14:19

1 trade moves the price much of the time. Try a trade after reset when you can see by the shares you were the only one trading {nm} JDolphin Sep 30, 21:36

Some speculation on how trades affect prices MattW Sep 30, 22:23

I didn't know HSX has a subreddit ;) {nm} Antibody Oct 01, 12:07

I was about to say same thing. Cool {nm} Dorfman Oct 01, 12:27

shorting first before selling really is a zero sum game. however, if you don't like to see red in the port then it works. Oleg Max Sep 30, 14:27

ha, meant 'short' of course :) {nm} Oleg Max Sep 30, 14:38

I short a lot before selling. But I usually do trades in 25k share increments. Dorfman Oct 01, 07:20

It's all a wash, bottom line. {nm} ndmaster Oct 04, 10:39

Well I feel silly now. thanks jdolphin and Oleg. {nm} MattW Sep 30, 16:41
