I fail to see how this post was inappropriate. It was not a call to action although there are several of those still active [nm] Initech Aug 04, 13:56

Years ago, I shorted a stock with 3,000 shares. I've tried to sell them, but it says I don't own any shares. thehistorian Aug 03, 11:26

Select cover, not sell, to get rid of those shares {nm} ShatnersToupee Aug 03, 11:35

When you 'buy' a stock you 'sell' to get rid of it... When you 'short' a stock you 'cover' to get rid of it ... (buy/sell) = (short/cover) {nm} RazorHawk Aug 03, 12:19

thank you. It's been a few years since I've played. {nm} thehistorian Aug 03, 12:50

@Rocket123, pastermp 105.90% was glitched (this is quite common for new members) . He shouldn't be in the top3, he just joined league a day {nm} JudgeSuggs Aug 01, 16:22

Thanks for all the work PVL admin but some easily noticed (and mentioned clearly within the leagues) errors are present. Willroast Aug 01, 16:25

"At least some quality control" is in effect. Been running them for 4 years. Thanks for pointing out the oversights. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 01, 19:24

@Rocket123, I'm not sure if you need my end of the month % but if you do, I ended month with 12.54% JudgeSuggs Aug 01, 19:38

How much ROI are you expecting per move ? monsieurcinema Aug 01, 12:01

Made it to the 98th Percentile....and I'm coming after the top 2% next...sleep with the lights on guys....sleep with the lights on.... {nm} JustaGuy Jul 28, 19:39

congrats! {nm} tealfan Jul 28, 21:23

Nicely Done. Way to stay Calm. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jul 29, 05:17

That next 1% covers about 3,200 spots. Come and get us! {nm} ndmaster Jul 29, 08:24

...And from THERE... you move up VERY s-l-o-w-l-y. :-) {nm} Flash Jul 30, 08:01

Or fall very quickly. {nm} DTravel Jul 30, 12:41

Heh...heh... true! :-) {nm} Flash Jul 31, 08:18

Yeah it took me years to go from top 98% to top 2000 dtshakes Jul 31, 09:58

Minor Port Monkey problem with Greasemonkey 2.0 update edzep - Port Monkey! Jul 27, 16:24

HI - So is that the reason it's not working at all right now? I'm pretty sure it was even after your post... {nm} ~JPV~ Jul 28, 02:19

Also, I just looked and I have Greasemonkey 2.1 {nm} ~JPV~ Jul 28, 02:23

GM 2.1 notes and reply to ~JPV~ edzep - Port Monkey! Jul 28, 05:18

Not a new user (been usibng it for years). NOt sure what you mean about show section headings. Have not changed any settings at all. {nm} ~JPV~ Jul 28, 07:12

In addition, I checked using another computer and it is working. However, it is using GM2.0 (the other was updated to 2.1) {nm} ~JPV~ Jul 28, 07:21

Just read, no I'm not using the most recent version of FF. I have to stick with this one until another extension gets updated ~JPV~ Jul 28, 07:53

Well...only YOU can decide 'when' you want to sell a stock... and Flash Jul 27, 10:52

most movies cash out quite a bit lower than their OW adjust so that's something to consider as well MattW Jul 27, 11:07

Unnecessary tags {nm} socby19 Jul 27, 19:04

a massacre! thats all today was just a freakin massacre! thats ok...dump your stocks to buy the incredibles...i'll live to fight another day horrorfanatic Jul 27, 00:03

I just had my first officail loss day. not a lot but so used to things auto going up 57 in a row {nm} mishra Jul 27, 00:30

I wish I was rich enough where I didnt have to sell everything for it but I needed to get in on it I missed out on cars3 and despicable3 {nm} gibster420 Jul 27, 04:17

yeah i know how that is....im just not happy if i dont have something to complain about from time to time ;) {nm} horrorfanatic Jul 27, 06:41

I've had a great last couple days.. {nm} Dorfman Jul 27, 08:29

Mine I did not lost any money. {nm} mike255 Jul 27, 13:19

Huh...skip two days of trading and I go up by about H$15mill.....who knew... {nm} JustaGuy Jul 26, 13:51

If a movie is already released and the gross is higher than the current value is it a certain win ? {nm} Lpmat Jul 24, 14:23

yes , people here call it "arb" - but factor in commission {nm} daveart Jul 24, 14:38

Thanks. So, I've to make sure (current value + 2%) < (gross / 1 000 000) right ? And what arb stands for ? {nm} Lpmat Jul 24, 15:24

"Arbitrage". Yes, 2% if you need to flip positions. But, only 1% as new invest & ride to delist. (But, 2% each way, for penny stocks.) {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Jul 24, 17:13

take back what I said, I didnt know you can buy 100k shares of the o.w. derivitave lol thats enough excitement {nm} gibster420 Jul 24, 21:48

One side note, if BOM says a movie made 1.00 it may delist slightly less so take that into consideration. mishra Jul 26, 03:46

Just compare the compare the Gross on the stock page vs the weekend box office on BOM and you can see when (or if) they stopped tracking {nm} JDolphin Jul 26, 16:26

Is it just me or does the random moviestock pump-n-dump seem a little more active lately? {nm} jwammo Jul 24, 11:03

BONDS is rolling 19.83 and rising...have fun.... {nm} Buy BONDS 23 NOW Jul 23, 00:41

mrbinns, I am ALWAYS a buyer when YOU MANAGE BONDS...BONDS 23 is a Bargain and a Moneymaker! {nm} kibitzer Jul 23, 10:06

Question about Moderate release.. Is it treated like Wide release? 4 weeks and 2.7OW adjust? {nm} Dorfman Jul 21, 07:43

If a movie opens on more than 650 screens...it's considered a wide release and adjusts like any other film (excluding holiday adjusts) {nm} Flash Jul 21, 08:17

yeah I think this one is 400.. is listed as Moderate for release {nm} Dorfman Jul 21, 12:22

Limited vs Moderate vs Wide release... RazorHawk Jul 21, 10:11

fyi, HSX did not create Moderate. It's used by ERC which gets it from the studio releasing the film. {nm} Antibody Jul 21, 10:36

ok. Just wondering since Fluffy is listed as Moderate and is releasing in 400+ {nm} Dorfman Jul 21, 12:24

Fluffy is inside. DTravel Jul 23, 22:10

I miss the days when u had to pick your weekend before the weekend not halfway through and already know the results, wake up hsx please {nm} gibster420 Jul 19, 03:27

Since you're just back, are you aware of the .OW derivitives? They halt sooner, and exist to give you that old-time challenge. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Jul 19, 03:50

and not every weekend is cut-and-dry...we've had a few Saturday surprises {nm} tealfan Jul 19, 10:58

Yeah, but back in those days you couldn't 'short' any stocks either...you had to either hold an opener, or sell it before the halt... {nm} Flash Jul 20, 10:25

And we walked 20 miles in the snow to school - AND WE LIKED IT!!! {nm} JustaGuy Jul 20, 15:24

Uphill both ways! {nm} DTravel Jul 20, 15:47

wow, ....we just used our snowmobiles {nm} RazorHawk Jul 20, 17:40

IKR why were those idiots walking? {nm} Dorfman Jul 21, 07:37

Alright you guys...OUT to the woodshed! And go cut the stick I'm using to spank you with! :-) {nm} Flash Jul 21, 08:22

It's called a switch down here. LOL {nm} Dorfman Jul 21, 12:28

Yes, you could. The change to Saturday halt has just been around for a couple (maybe 3) years, shorting has been around a lot longer. {nm} ndmaster Jul 21, 10:47

shortin been around a long time... at least 2000 as far as I know {nm} mishra Jul 22, 05:41

first million dollar day since comin back to hsx small victory leaders here I come lol {nm} gibster420 Jul 19, 00:34

Nicely Done & Welcome Back. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jul 19, 22:04

Friday always seems to be weak....what does everyone do on friday? {nm} mishra Jul 18, 16:23

friday? ive always found the entire weekend to be weak.....nothing ever seems tohappen on saturday and sunday... {nm} horrorfanatic Jul 18, 20:57

They sell and wait for the Saturday blockbuster's IPO {nm} DTravel Jul 19, 10:44

For those cheapskates who like to buy at the lowest possible price, BACON is now fully invested. RogerMore Jul 18, 07:14

Tx , lol, lower price is nice. I think I can spare 200k for it. {nm} mishra Jul 18, 07:28
