@Willroast when are you going to accept my application to the 95% club? {nm} Quickslver99 Jan 24, 06:05

At the beginning of Feb. I try to start people on the 1st of the month so that the % glitch doesn't happen. When people get in mid month... Willroast Jan 24, 18:19

Actually, I meant the end of Jan. As far as I can tell, the best way to avoid the glitch is to get people in a day before I do the... Willroast Jan 24, 18:38

Also, and I couldn't get over this without mentioning it, but that was like the rudest way you could ask that question I think. Willroast Jan 25, 06:13

It can also be considered rude to not at least acknowledge someone's application in a timely manner. DTravel Jan 25, 12:41

How could I do that DTravel? There are no emails here and I'd be way out of line if I started posting people's status on the boards. Willroast Jan 25, 13:16

Suggestions inside. DTravel Jan 25, 21:47

And I'm harping here but "they could think the league has been abandoned by its administrator"? Come on man. Willroast Jan 25, 13:27

One way that I would have checked if I was wondering about my staus would be "Hey, Willroast, did you get my app?". Pretty simple. {nm} Willroast Jan 25, 13:17

Upon some reflection (and the annual Gasarilla Parade!) I think that maybe this was a case of people looking at things from different ... Willroast Jan 25, 17:04

There is but One (1) Winner in each Category. The rest are all Non-Winners & will Cash-Out at ZERO (0.00). RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 22, 20:54

If the total sum of all the prices is greater than 25.25, then short them all becomes profitable. {nm} Antibody Jan 23, 16:34

How do you even make money? kidico4life2 Jan 19, 21:08

Er play the news join a PVL and use some of the strategies that have been outlined there and then use a little imagination blaze223 Jan 20, 01:15

At only 20M, I'm not sure you actually know how to make mone money here. There are lots of ways to get fake rich here, you should try them. {nm} Willroast Jan 20, 04:23

which is why i'm asking {nm} kidico4life2 Jan 20, 10:22

I'm sorry. I thought you were being sarcastic. My bad. I'd give my advice, but I couldn't do better than Flash did (below). Good luck! {nm} Willroast Jan 20, 16:18

daytrading works very well for me, just not every day. i may make 2 million one day, barely 100k the next. hot and cold. {nm} horrorfanatic Jan 20, 12:32

Read these older threads. Tons of info for small port players. Taken from my PVL leagues (below 1B) overview. PVL Admin Jan 20, 12:54

When I refresh the page that my port is on my port grows bigger... the more times I do it the bigger it grows! {nm} RazorHawk Jan 20, 13:22

You're just looking at the low risk options. If you want to make money faster, you have to take some risk. {nm} JDolphin Jan 20, 16:04

Uh, Not necessarily the case. Went from 20 MILL to 40 MILL in Six (6) Days with No or Virtually No Risk. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 20, 17:06

The 3 things he listed in his post were low risk options {nm} JDolphin Jan 20, 17:44

Not that - was referring to the taking some risk to make money faster. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 20, 18:11

Great, why don't you share some of your tips with him instead of just bragging about your success. THEN you MIGHT have made a contribution. {nm} PVL Admin Jan 20, 18:08

Just did. See above. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 20, 18:12

You're satisfied with that? Wow, what amazing insight. That will surely help him a lot. PVL Admin Jan 20, 18:34

Previous Posts have included numerous Tips for Small Ports. Some Examples inside. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 20, 18:50

YES, these should help him (or her) a Lot. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 20, 18:52

Here are two (2) other Examples that should help him (or her). RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jan 20, 19:05

Admittedly, those are decent investments, however, how will he feed his port later. What have you tought wrt HOW to play the game? PVL Admin Jan 20, 19:18

Inflation BJB Jan 17, 20:35

It does not. It probably should (raising 250 caps for actors TAG) but it does not. Interest rates on cash is set to mimic Oleg Max Jan 17, 21:06

That's how the big port make their money. They buy movies years ahead of open with today's H$, and in real life ... elchan2012 Jan 18, 07:34

Really? I make most of my money by shorting. Generalizations are very misleading. {nm} ndmaster Jan 18, 09:19

Of course there is more than one way to make H$. But when big movies IPO, Antibody uses today's dollars to do the IPO estimate. elchan2012 Jan 18, 11:58

HSX doesn't really have inflation, at least not like a real economy. One H$ now has the same purchasing power as one H$ in 1997 when the RogerMore Jan 18, 12:59
