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

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

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

I always pick Sunset Blvd., just because {nm} daveart Jul 15, 15:13

Not always, I pick The Birds Every time and am lucky to win once a week...if that. {nm} aggie2145 Jul 15, 15:18

I always pock the {nm} gibster420 Jul 15, 23:30

I pick the 2nd one, failed 3 times in a row so should be due for a win soon! {nm} gibster420 Jul 15, 23:31

I once did an experiment and picked the last one 30 days straight and didn't win once {nm} JDolphin Jul 16, 02:08

once i won it 3 days in a row....i'll never see that kind of luck again...now if i win once a month i throw a party lol! {nm} horrorfanatic Jul 16, 13:11

Law Of Large Numbers says that you should be winning about 3x a month... RazorHawk Jul 16, 14:57

He have about a 1per chance3 to lose 30 times in a row {nm} mishra Jul 16, 15:24

Never heard of that law, and, I'm no statistician. But, shouldn't wins average out to 4x a month, with 1 in 7 chance each time? {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Jul 17, 04:31

It's basically just a law that says that given a large enough set of data (in this case, plays as Classic Cash), that the expected average.. Willroast Jul 17, 05:38

Yes - or 4.34523809524 per Month (on Average) to be a bit more Precise. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jul 17, 05:39

OOPS - 6.46 is Average Number of Days for a Win. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jul 17, 05:43

I'm no statistician either.... RazorHawk Jul 17, 06:04

To answer the end, 1 in 7 each day. {nm} DTravel Jul 17, 12:55

it should average out to that but if you know statistics....sometimes you could win 3 or 4 times in a row or go through steak of losing. {nm} mishra Jul 17, 14:38

It might be a fluke, but I seem to win more if I pick the first poster that pops up. {nm} avandelay Jul 17, 10:40
