HSX nostalgia -- 4 1/2 year old screen image of portfolio, before HSX re-design... edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 07, 14:35

Blast it. It looked good in the composer. Will try again, to get the image included. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 07, 14:48

This should work... edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 07, 14:54

I played in those days. Wished I'd kept at it. {nm} perply1 Dec 07, 16:12

What was that "NEED H$" button for? Could you buy H$ in those days? {nm} elchan2012 Dec 08, 22:51

Need H$ - that's a blast from the past - it was a precursor to Earn H$ srrichardson Dec 09, 02:51

thx!...I have a shot like that as well...I save screenshots of my milestones :D {nm} tealfan Dec 07, 15:34

Stupid Question Alert... twoshenoudas Dec 07, 09:47

There is an explanation about them in each security page slappydavid Dec 07, 09:56

Thank you! {nm} twoshenoudas Dec 07, 17:25

When will the Nominee Options be IPO'ed? {nm} ankurbe Dec 05, 08:36

they're on the calendar for next week...top of page -> News & Events -> Market Calendar {nm} tealfan Dec 05, 08:39

these are new to me. am i correct in assuming you basically bet on who wins the oscar? whats the pay off? {nm} horrorfanatic Dec 05, 16:44

On who gets nominated. Here's a primer RogerMore Dec 05, 19:46

And on Who does not get Nominated. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Dec 06, 04:31

Best doc section? Please? {nm} Moviesnob Dec 06, 07:51

Which day in Market Calendar is correct? Thursday or Friday? See inside sphere Dec 06, 10:08

Both. One day is for Best Picture, Director and Screenplays, and the other is for Best Actor/Actress and Supporting Actor/Actress {nm} eyescovered Dec 06, 10:19

My penny stock project, status report... edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 04, 15:35

Thx for that. *Sends Penny For Thoughts via Fedex.* {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Dec 04, 16:25

Very Interesting. That is a very solid profit that I would take any day. Hunting all those stocks down and keeping up would be rough though. {nm} Willroast Dec 04, 16:37

What was the time frame for this? {nm} MattW Dec 04, 17:01

What was the time frame for this? (accidentally replied to the wrong message) {nm} MattW Dec 04, 17:01

I've been accumulating pennies for about 2 years. Used to look for 'em once a day. Now, every couple of days. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 04, 18:41

I forgot my usual disclaimer that MOST pennies will dead delist at $0, or maybe become ltds with little BO. It's the few sleepers and edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 04, 18:47

I started this port specifically to buy penny stocks ndmasterPENNY Dec 05, 11:38

Yeah, radar (1 share, for any newbies) is good... gotta have it in your port, to monitor price. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 05, 11:58

One member caught cheating hsx today {nm} mike255 Dec 04, 13:07

This does not need an announcement. {nm} DTravel Dec 04, 16:16

How does one find this out anyways? {nm} Quickslver99 Dec 05, 06:08

You don't, unless you happen to spot it. But this one was posted on the Feedback Board. {nm} RogerMore Dec 05, 08:00

How do you spot it though? It's not like I can see other people by name that have trades. {nm} Quickslver99 Dec 05, 08:33

You can add a trader to your watchlist, or you can be in the same league as a trader. Leagues allow you to see previous day gains/losses of RogerMore Dec 05, 11:32

Gotcha. Yeah I'm in a league and have a few on my watchlist, so I can see how that would be easy to spot. {nm} Quickslver99 Dec 05, 12:09

Actually, I think they should publicize it to make players aware they crack down on it, and take it seriously...IMO. {nm} Flash Dec 05, 07:47

Poor guy lost 25 percent of his value {nm} mike255 Dec 05, 12:48

Comercio feliz to daveart and [LATIN] on the 5th go round of the fund. {nm} mrbinns Dec 04, 06:34

Nice work! {nm} EuroFund Dec 04, 18:26

Congratulations to November's Port Value League (PVL) Winners! (results inside) - Grads have been removed. Please apply to next level. PVL Admin Dec 01, 10:59

Thanks for running these-keeps it fun for me! {nm} forlorne Dec 03, 10:16

Same here. Thanks Rocket! {nm} slappydavid Dec 03, 15:48

You're both welcome. {nm} PVL Admin Dec 03, 18:57

Buying short and covering {nm} Dawn1125 Nov 27, 08:18

is this a question? :) Well...if you think a stock is overpriced, then you 'short' it. Then if the price drops, you make money. islander Nov 27, 08:37

IE has trouble with IMs. If you have a question to ask, use the Quick Reply section, or a different browser. {nm} RogerMore Nov 27, 15:05

Kaigee Search buttom is gone {nm} mike255 Nov 26, 22:21

Hmmm - kinda ironic to be Searching for the Search Button. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Nov 26, 22:56

Weird. What you can do is go to any StarBond details page and just change the ticker in the URL to the one you want. Hope that helps. {nm} eyescovered Nov 27, 06:34

What he said. And, I might bring it back. KaiGee Nov 27, 06:51

Thank you for the site update and I'm glad you took away the search if it was broken. I hate it when sites have them... Quickslver99 Nov 27, 07:20

Well, if you need help testing out any parts of the site again, just email me. eyescovered Nov 27, 09:15

Or, go to starbond next adjust chart and use the control-f function of your browser. Decent work around. {nm} PVL Admin Nov 27, 15:40

Elchan is getting better. It has calculator, search. Kaigee doesn't have search {nm} mike255 Nov 27, 16:44

Kaigee search button is back. {nm} PVL Admin Dec 03, 21:39

Kaigee search buttom is back. {nm} PVL Admin Dec 03, 21:40

HSXsanity's Thanksgiving column is up. RogerMore Nov 26, 11:40

looking at those low delist mult islander Nov 26, 17:09

excellent work! {nm} daveart Nov 27, 15:59

Is there any way to get your complete HSX trading history and not just the last 30 days? {nm} Raven9167 Nov 26, 04:22

You mean, besides printing it out every 30 days, or copying to a spreadsheet. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Nov 26, 04:55

Yeah...I've been gone from the game for a long time and was curious. I take it from your message that there's no way though. {nm} Raven9167 Nov 26, 05:03

There used to be a way to do it, but HSX changed it, as it just takes too much server space for all ports, years, etc... {nm} Flash Nov 26, 07:49

You can't see a full list past the 30 days, but you can put any ticker symbol in the search box and see all trades for that particular stock eyescovered Nov 26, 08:46

I've traded AUST4 118 times, I see. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 26, 11:48

Must be a Port Monkey glitch... eyescovered Nov 26, 13:30

Purposeful trades! I'm curious how many times other long-term players have traded this stock, just as a case study. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 26, 13:52

Only 11 for me! eyescovered Nov 26, 13:57

Well, my trades go back to 2002. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 26, 14:22

maybe, 4 to 5 times. it just doesn't move enough for me. {nm} tatoufan Nov 26, 14:18

Here's the price of every 9th trade I made (rounded to nearest dollar): 80, 89, 32, 31, 32, 27, 26, 49, 58, 31, 20, 17, 24, 12. I see money, edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 26, 14:31

40 trades {nm} ndmaster Nov 26, 18:04

How about I implement an infinite trade history feature for members on HowProfitable.Com? Anyone interested? elchan2012 Dec 03, 20:38

Does HSX still offer 'free trades'? Thought they did this on saturdays? mtespo Nov 25, 21:07

no more...they stopped that maybe 2-3 years ago... {nm} tealfan Nov 25, 21:48

4 years, 2months ago! time flies when you're paying 1% {nm} islander Nov 26, 06:08

wow time flies! {nm} tealfan Nov 26, 08:28

Wow! I had no idea that it's been that long. Long gone are those red Saturdays and the Horn of Mordor! {nm} eyescovered Nov 26, 08:49

I thought I read in the FAQ somewhere it was 0.02 per share. Is it actually 1%? {nm} MattW Nov 26, 13:00

its 1% with a minimum of H$0.02 per share {nm} lapuckfan Nov 26, 13:27

It's whichever is the greater of 1% or $0.02 per share. This is to impose costs on penny stock trading so they don't get manipulated. {nm} RogerMore Nov 26, 13:28

When a stock automatically cashes out does it still charge the 1%? {nm} MattW Nov 27, 19:37

No - cash outs are commission-free. {nm} RogerMore Nov 28, 05:49

Thanks all mtespo Nov 27, 03:13

im pretty sure im gonna cry now. thanks to the computer cluster **** yesterday, im down over 900k today. thats no big deal, i dont want mone horrorfanatic Nov 25, 12:31

I've got HGAM2.OW wrong too... in addition to my 295 million one-day "loss". {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 25, 13:48

(raises a toast to edzep and anyone else on the wrong end of the hunger games) heres to living to fight another day! salud! {nm} horrorfanatic Nov 25, 14:08

I was lucky, I only played the call and put so I will only lose around 300k. {nm} Quickslver99 Nov 25, 14:44

(listening to mike and the mechanics "all i need is a miracle") {nm} horrorfanatic Nov 25, 15:03

new player with question about adjustment dates for Star Bonds CG63 Nov 24, 17:12

Starbonds adjust the day after movies delist/cash out. PVL Admin Nov 24, 18:09

Just to make sure I understand this - CG63 Nov 24, 21:04

Yes {nm} JDolphin Nov 24, 22:26

RogerMore wrote a nice piece on Star Bond adjusts on his HsxSanity site (link inside) JDolphin Nov 24, 22:35

Thanks for the info - much appreciated. {nm} CG63 Nov 25, 08:54

Penny (0.01) stocks costing $3000? Problem? favrerocks Nov 24, 15:52

$1,000 plus $.02 per share minimum commission equals $3,000 {nm} aggie2145 Nov 24, 16:01

Thanks {nm} favrerocks Nov 24, 16:08

Deadline hasn't gotten any better at predicting now that Nikki's gone... JustaGuy Nov 24, 09:49

neither has Nikki {nm} tealfan Nov 24, 09:59

SNAP! {nm} Crackle/Pop Nov 24, 12:29

Well, at least it saves you commish after adjust selling it, and THEN paying commish shorting it too! {nm} Flash Nov 24, 13:37

Portfolio crashing like a rock. MitchC Nov 23, 23:48

Play the players, dude... and don't fall in love with a losing stock. (2 basic rules) {nm} PVL Admin Nov 23, 23:55

When a movie in a franchise does not do as expected - the others often get sold off too. Not sure why since they will probably make those JDolphin Nov 24, 00:48

Your profile page says you only have 8 different securities. You need to diversify or you're going to have a lot more down days when these JDolphin Nov 24, 01:00

Bye bye green streak! It was 209 days ago that I last finished a day in the red. It was fun while it lasted! slappydavid Nov 23, 21:45

Stop whinning, I've been Elchanned and will be down 10-12mil for the day at least when I fix all the errors. You call that RED?!? Ha! Nov 24, 12:32

Ouch, that is certainly a lot of red! Hang in there, you'll pull through in the next few days and get back to normal... {nm} slappydavid Nov 24, 12:54

Errors are all fixed. Cost me a ton of commission and put me back more than 2 days. Fortunately I shorted HGAM2.OW PVL Admin Nov 24, 18:11

Of the 9.2 mil commission from today alone, $6,061,482.75 was due to starbond flipping and reflipping from Elchan's charts. 6 MILLION!!! {nm} PVL Admin Nov 24, 18:34

epic fail by typo!! thought i was buying 10,000 shares of ALCN2, checked on it later, i only bought a 1,000! (banging head) stupid fingers! {nm} horrorfanatic Nov 22, 17:11
