Playing & Trading Strategy

Is it me or has the market been pretty slow the last few days? Trader fatigue? {nm} JustaGuy Jun 20, 07:57

I've noticed a flat couple days as well. THere also hasn't been a huge amount of news going around either. {nm} Dorfman Jun 20, 08:12

Inflationary controls by Antibody? :-) {nm} JustaGuy Jun 20, 12:11

Good Luck to The Golden Years Fund (AARP) that IPO's today {nm} Dorfman Jun 19, 10:06

Thanks for the ca$h. Now get off my lawn... {nm} Initech Jun 19, 11:06

goodbye H$600million.. HELLOOO H$700MILLION!!!! JudgeSuggs Jun 18, 16:32

Congrats to you as well RotoHockeyYTD2014! JudgeSuggs Jun 18, 18:59

Well done there blaze223 Jun 19, 08:36

Thanx blaze223! {nm} JudgeSuggs Jun 19, 08:44

ASEYF GRIBI LNEES and SMACF adjust their tags for MWTDW on July 24 but are not listed {nm} laujer Jun 17, 16:04

Possibly because MWTDW will delist in June? {nm} DTravel Jun 18, 12:46

Bucket List Bonds JustaGuy Jun 17, 12:19

Usually some Starbonds get dead delisted twice a year. {nm} DTravel Jun 17, 12:24

every 3-6 months - the time varies, usually on a Friday. There was one on May16, so it's probably going to be a while {nm} JDolphin Jun 17, 18:25

There's probably already been a lot of discussion on this, but would it ever be possible to have an investment for overseas box office? MattW Jun 15, 19:47

The idea has been brought up a lot recently. I doubt it will happen, too many issues. DTravel Jun 16, 13:00

Unrelated but didn't want to start a new thread - it took me 8 months and 5 days to get to H$100 million MattW Jun 16, 20:05

Nicely Done. Incredible(s) Performance. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jun 16, 21:36

Well thanks, I'm maybe a little bit too pleased with myself. {nm} MattW Jun 17, 11:19

HTYD2.PU is going to cash out at H$30 (H$600,000). Any one remember a call or put returning like that previously? {nm} Initech Jun 15, 14:49

Rise of the Guardians 32.66, Happy Feet 2 28.76 JDolphin Jun 15, 15:35

Cool info, thanks for the link {nm} Initech Jun 15, 15:37

On the Call side, AVNGR has everyone beat with 52.44 {nm} JDolphin Jun 16, 00:09

Damn I shorted the stock but missed the halt on derivatives. {nm} elchan2012 Jun 16, 07:50

Amateur traders have a lot of money right now, if they shorted HTYD2, and stocks are volatile. I get sea-sick, stocks flip up and down Facto Jun 15, 13:03

are there any professional traders? {nm} forlorne Jun 16, 05:01

+1 {nm} Dorfman Jun 16, 05:32

We're all professionals, unfortunately our compensation is in H$. {nm} elchan2012 Jun 16, 10:37

SO at what size port did a lot of you start holding STocks from IPO to Adjust? Just curious {nm} Dorfman Jun 15, 05:44

I know some casual players do that, but, it's not a good goal for max growth. Gotta ride the waves. (Except, I keep some penny stocks edzep - Port Monkey! Jun 15, 10:11

700 MILL Port - Basically None. 1.6 Billion Port - Basically None. <Exceptions & More Inside.> RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jun 15, 10:47

Gotta love StarBonds {nm} Dorfman Jun 15, 14:20

When I made it to a couple hundred million in cash I wasn't using, even than not too many {nm} JDolphin Jun 15, 15:11

I pretty much never hold IPO's until open either. Liquidity is where I am making money now. {more} Initech Jun 15, 15:25

Hmm but a 1Billion port have firesale and abandon only mention as passed Upupandaway on lifetime leaderboard this week blaze223 Jun 15, 00:14

Even buy a 1Billion port. blaze223 Jun 15, 00:15

Nikki Finke OW question... Willroast Jun 13, 16:34

Not even sure she does her own math. Most likely she's posting whatever her sources are saying. {nm} slappydavid Jun 13, 18:03

Just as a follow up, the prediction game is suposed to be about getting it right, so manipulating the numbers would defeat the purpose... slappydavid Jun 14, 08:39

Thanks for the input slappydavid. It sounds like her predictions our right in line with all of ours then (some right, some wrong). {nm} Willroast Jun 14, 15:24

*our = are. {nm} Willroast Jun 14, 15:25

@Socby19, Can you post an updated version of your (DT's) Spreadsheet, Please? Patmcw Jun 13, 11:25

Link inside. socby19 Jun 13, 17:54

thanks :) {nm} netmare Jun 14, 00:24

Thanks Socby, greatly appreciated {nm} Patmcw Jun 14, 07:27

Everybody must be doing a stellar job this month.. I'm posting 2 - 3% gains everyday and still dropping 200 everyday in lifetime rank... {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 07:26

2.84% gain yesterday and still dropped over 300 spots. wow {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 07:28

Keep it up and enjoy it while you can :) You drop spots A LOT slower the bigger your port gets. {nm} eyescovered Jun 13, 07:53

i mean dropping the wrong way. Like -300 spots.. {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 08:08

are you saying that based on your actual rank or the number in parenthesis next to your rank? A minus in parenthesis is an improvement {nm} lapuckfan Jun 13, 10:17

oh.. I was thinking a minus in parenthesis was bad.. {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 10:19

I get it. It's kinda of misleading. Minus because you are climbing in the ranks... so the number is 300 less than what you were. Dorfman Jun 13, 10:21

You got it! {nm} eyescovered Jun 13, 11:29

YAY... Isa Special.. {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 11:31

I wish they'd put a little green or red arrow there instead {nm} tealfan Jun 13, 12:25

I'd bet a lot of us made the same mistake Dorf. I know I did early on. Tealfan's suggestion below would be a great fix. {nm} Willroast Jun 13, 15:57

he got 2.84% gain but went down in rank 300 spots {nm} RazorHawk Jun 13, 09:23

Rank: 24,514 (-341) :: Percentile: 85.8 {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 10:18

A week ago i was Percentile 82 {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 10:18

to me the percentage here is backwards. I would thought the percentage would get lower. Like right now 85.8% of traders do better than me. Dorfman Jun 13, 10:23

Nah, it's like the SAT, you're in the 85th percentile, better than 85% of players. But yeah, lot of people doing well these last few weeks {nm} MattW Jun 13, 11:24

which is opposite of school ranking. .I was in the top 22nd percentile. lol {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 11:26

Spend less time on HSX, and more time on school. {nm} elchan2012 Jun 14, 16:35

I am looking for a post written for newbie players explaining how to play HSX {nm} Patmcw Jun 13, 06:37

newbie user guide cont'd {nm} Patmcw Jun 13, 06:44

Not entirely sure what you're looking for (with a port your size), but... srrichardson Jun 13, 07:28

thanks, exactly what i was looking for, they are for a new player as they helped me alot. Patmcw Jun 13, 10:50

The HSXSanity blog posted above is very good for learning the game. Also just ask... {nm} EuroFund Jun 13, 15:23

Read all these and you should have a fairly good idea. {nm} PVL Admin Jun 13, 09:57

why it didn't post I don't know. OK, go here and read. {nm} PVL Admin Jun 13, 09:58

also didn't post. Find a Port Value League. In the header section there are links to valuable information posted over time. Join too :) PVL Admin Jun 13, 09:58

3Billion milestone crossed! flapjack007 Jun 13, 04:19

Curious, but isn't a certain red white and blue costumed BO warrant Dorfman Jun 12, 12:44

it's because they're relatively cheap & limited to 20k shares...most traders max out long before the 12 week mark {nm} tealfan Jun 12, 13:04

EURO is out today. EZ money... {nm} tatoufan Jun 12, 10:10

Good luck {nm} oneman Jun 12, 10:11
