Is the multiplier 2.2 for July 2 openers since they include a holiday? {nm} Initech Jun 12, 08:23

since no long weekend, I'm guessing "Prev + 2.7 * Fri-Sun" {nm} tealfan Jun 12, 09:06

2.2 is for a 4 Day weekend (holiday on Monday)... since the holiday is on a Friday it is a normal multiplier (+previous) {nm} RazorHawk Jun 12, 09:53

Thanks! {nm} Initech Jun 12, 09:59

if there is a 5 day .. would that be 2.0? {nm} mishra Jun 12, 17:32

GO GO (EURO) GO. Thanks for all the Past Profits, tatoufan. Thanks in Advance for the Future Profits. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jun 12, 00:59

Thanks GODZL Starbonds...er Celebstocks for the extra ca$H {nm} Initech Jun 10, 10:43

ya starbond glue needs to not stick around {nm} mishra Jun 10, 14:37

Congrats...again to COMIC fund for passing 100$! {nm} AwardsFund Jun 08, 21:56

Guess some don't know the roi on things and just sell it cause of possible bad drop offs on movies. mishra Jun 08, 01:39

Think I see why. Some nice little stock {nm} mishra Jun 08, 17:27

Happens all the time. Many shallow or "go with the flow" traders out there. People play the game on different levels (of knowledge). {nm} Facto Jun 08, 17:56

was just suprised to see a 20 per daily roi one go down for a bit {nm} mishra Jun 09, 01:14

guess i havent completely lost my touch. been gone 2 years... back 3 weeks and up H$20m {nm} Dorfman Jun 07, 16:58

Been a long time since I played reset... FOr you reset players when do you usually dump your reset stocks? {nm} Dorfman Jun 07, 07:23

The LeaderBoards - Volume Traded Today should give you a fairly good idea. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jun 07, 08:26

I don't play reset, but normally I'd say the early movers start going the other way between 5-7 AM HSX time... {nm} slappydavid Jun 07, 10:36

12pac for buy and short {nm} mishra Jun 08, 01:34

This is game is addictive but oh so time consuming.. But you hardly notice. I dislike going to sleep - knowing some stocks will misbehave! {nm} Facto Jun 07, 04:53

ha. I almots never play reset anymore due to being on east coast and haveing to be up by 630am eastern time, but last night.. Dorfman Jun 07, 07:17

I forget when's usually the best time to sell your resset stocks? Is it noon pacific? {nm} Dorfman Jun 07, 07:20

I've not yet detected a real pattern, there. There seems to be some sell-off when east coast goes to bed, though. {nm} Facto Jun 07, 07:53

Wouldn't that be something if there was a real pattern there. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jun 07, 08:29

Would be too easy. There are certain trends, but few real patterns. The one about east coast sell off before bedtime? It doesn't always hold Facto Jun 07, 09:52

yeah i still usually stick with day news sell off before bed on eastcoast {nm} Dorfman Jun 07, 10:30

It happened again! I dozed off for an hour, and that cost me around 1,2M due to one stock alone! It chose to make a major swing exactly that Facto Jun 09, 00:22

Tend to play a coip blaze223 Jun 07, 10:02

Sorry meant to say play a couple of early mornings every week a) work schedule and b) 8 hours in front here in Uk blaze223 Jun 07, 10:03

Can someone tell me again why the actual movie stock of a movie on OW doesn't halt till Sat night? I can't remember the logic.. Dorfman Jun 06, 10:06

except for those days when Saturday surprises us...I forgot the reason HSX changed it...been so long {nm} tealfan Jun 06, 10:10

HSX: 'Gives players a chance to actually see a movie before investing' Players: 'Page hits for dead Saturdays'' {nm} RazorHawk Jun 06, 11:21

lol page hits.. {nm} Dorfman Jun 06, 11:37

Friday PM too! {nm} Antibody Jun 06, 13:57

Friday night rocks around here! {nm} tealfan Jun 06, 14:05

+1 {nm} GoodSon Jun 06, 18:46

Worst change HSX ever made. ty97 Jun 06, 15:45

Can't even see the earliest Matinee before call and puts halt. shesh {nm} mishra Jun 06, 17:22

That's why it's called a gut check. {nm} ty97 Jun 06, 18:03

Whoa, let's not say things we can't take back! (Were you around for Schmooze Points?) {nm} RogerMore Jun 06, 18:16

whats a schmooze point? or what was a schmooze point? {nm} horrorfanatic Jun 06, 18:40

You would earn points (or H$ - I can't remember) for posting in the forums, connecting with other traders as friends, etc {nm} RogerMore Jun 06, 20:40

I was here for all of it. Those were terrible (and laughable) but the halt change was the worst. Period. ty97 Jun 06, 18:45

Oldbie here who doesn't know what schmooze points were. I took multiple years off. Please enlighten. {nm} GoodSon Jun 06, 18:49

This will give you a sense ty97 Jun 06, 18:53

you're going too far witht the Project Orange - that made me quit playing {nm} JDolphin Jun 06, 18:54

Crap. I was doing so well, then I have two days in a row where I can't monitor port at crucial times. Start down over 2M yestd over 3M today Facto Jun 06, 07:08

ouch {nm} Dorfman Jun 06, 08:46

Riding the darn stocks the wrong way........ Not having "the touch", suddenly. It's safer to avoid movie stocks, but much less fun also o/c {nm} Facto Jun 06, 09:06

It happens. I was up over 500k just on my edge short this morning.. Now i'm down 4k on the same stock. Some people are swayed so easily {nm} Dorfman Jun 06, 10:01

Question about Penny Stocks and when to sell.. Is there a gneral rule most follow? Dorfman Jun 05, 06:18

I can't say from experience as I don't play them but I believe that I've read that most folks just keep them and hope for the giant jump... Willroast Jun 05, 08:06

How is a .01 to .20 cent jump breaking even?? Dorfman Jun 05, 08:42

Well, I didn't mean it literally. haha. I'm not sure about commission but I do know that there is a minimum (just not sure what)... Willroast Jun 05, 09:19

Yeah. I get what you're saying.. When I get into the hundreds of millions maybe I can graduate to 10 dollar stocks. LOL Dorfman Jun 05, 10:48

Yeah, I totally get the penny stock strategy and when it hits, it's gotta be a good feeling. And it is cheap, 150 penny stocks may... Willroast Jun 05, 11:08

I hear ya man.. This why i am having a hard time with penny stocks. I like to know what each and every one of my stocks is doing as welll l {nm} Dorfman Jun 05, 13:15

Hold till it gets over a dollar then short. Choray911 Jun 06, 11:24

for stocks under $H2 need up to a 4c margin for profit, at $H2 you need just a sliver over 2.02per to break even. {nm} mishra Jun 07, 00:26

Minimum commission is $0.02 per share. {nm} DTravel Jun 05, 12:26

Honestly, only *you* can decide when the best time to sell is... or how much profit you want, will a stock go up more, etc? Flash Jun 05, 08:08

Yeah... I know. LOL Dorfman Jun 05, 08:38

Just noticed the movie Ida with nearly 1mil in box office in its 5th week but can't seem to find it. Did it sneak in a one screen last yr? {nm} mishra Jun 04, 23:47

Hello Fellow Billionaires! jode0125 Jun 04, 14:27

Nicely Done. *Sends Key to the Billionaire Washroom via Fedex.* {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jun 04, 14:36

Congrats! JohnTEQP Jun 11, 22:36

Hang out for awhile now!! {nm} <font color="red"><b>Flash</b> Dec 07, 14:00

Kind of weird question about shorting when you have limited money MattW Jun 04, 09:51

The only time I cover a short is when I think it has bottomed out or the price suddenly jumps and stays up (talking to you MWTDW) {nm} Initech Jun 04, 10:07

He does have a point though. Ive heard of some covering shorts in order to short more shares if they believe the price is going to keep fal Dorfman Jun 04, 10:43

Yeah, it's call re-shorting. All the billionaires are doing it. {nm} elchan2012 Jun 04, 14:34

lol {nm} Dorfman Jun 04, 16:00

Once you gain money on a short, it can't do any work for you if you're just holding into it. Personally, I won't reshort until I gain 20%... socby19 Jun 04, 12:53

Covering Shorts frees up cash to spend on other things. Yowster Jun 04, 12:55

This {nm} AwardsFund Jun 04, 16:24

Interesting comments. I've never really put much thought into churning shorts. Kudos for +1 strategy! {nm} Initech Jun 05, 08:35

Not perfectly accurate, but....... srrichardson Jun 06, 04:44

JMJOH adjust already? or I miss something? {nm} mishra Jun 03, 11:25

He was removed from NEIBR 2 weeks ago (link) JDolphin Jun 03, 11:45

tx guess I overlooked that one {nm} mishra Jun 03, 11:47

The PVL $395-600 Mil could REALLY use some competition....or else this is gonna be a zzzzzzzzzzz this month {nm} JustaGuy Jun 03, 04:30

Catching up. Starbonds, should be very profitable next couple of weeks. No time for movies. {nm} elchan2012 Jun 04, 11:45

Kewl - looking forward to a nice friendly rivalry! {nm} JustaGuy Jun 04, 12:08

** This post has been removed by the forum moderator! ** JustaGuy Jun 02, 09:35

I bout fell out of my chair reading this. +1 {nm} Dorfman Jun 02, 09:37

I think I offended the moderator gods...or Tommy's legal team...not sure which.... {nm} JustaGuy Jun 02, 10:07

Don't post current stock movement, which may lead to further stock movement. {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 10:33

Was pretty funny though... Dorfman Jun 02, 10:57

So if i said "That stock" instead of the actual name, would that have cleared me? {nm} JustaGuy Jun 02, 11:46

anyone else experiencing this? ZBTMafia Jun 02, 07:12

nice jump this last month. Mine only jumped about 13 mil {nm} Dorfman Jun 02, 07:48

Summer is usually a very good time in HSX {nm} slappydavid Jun 02, 11:50

I went from 62m to 82m. Some strong star bonds and some surprising openings like Godzilla and Million Ways to Die. {nm} MattW Jun 04, 12:49
