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

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

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

Hunger Games.. MitchC Nov 22, 13:23

It will halt on Saturday and then adjust based on weekend estimates on Sunday. What you should do with it depends on what the movie is RogerMore Nov 22, 14:29

Is there anyway to see both the bid and ask side for a stock? Can you see trade prints somewhere besides the ticker? {nm} jakerules Nov 21, 19:16

There's no HSX equivalent of these. It's not like the real world where there's a seller for every buyer RogerMore Nov 21, 20:36

TY Both, but what I mean - see inside jakerules Nov 21, 20:42

There have been fansites that have gathered this data in the past, but I don't believe any of them are currently active {nm} RogerMore Nov 21, 21:17

That doesn't exist on HSX. The current price is the only price you see and use. If enough people trade at the same time, the actual price JDolphin Nov 21, 21:19

Thanks - I didn't know this site existed. {nm} RogerMore Nov 21, 21:23

Huh - after all the flakking I've done for it, via Port Monkey announcements? If you like the intraday trading graphs, edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 22, 04:09

My ignorance has more to do with me never day-trading and never looking at my portfolio page {nm} RogerMore Nov 22, 05:34

Once upon a time, (a long time ago), there was a XML feed that listed all the trade quantities, but not the trade types... KaiGee Nov 24, 19:58

What you describe does not apply to HSX. As others have said there is no "printing" of shares. DTravel Nov 22, 13:17

RM you say that HSX has an infinite amount of stock - do they sell or buy more than the IPO issues? {nm} Dank007 Nov 21, 20:48

They create as much stock as traders are willing and able to buy. "Infinite" is simplifying - but say a million Hunger Games fans all signed RogerMore Nov 21, 21:13

MMAX4 has a 100M-125M budget - What do you think this movie will gross? First Max made 100M in 1979 {nm} jakerules Nov 21, 16:06

FJONE is nice long term payoff. SPIDE5 has her adjusting 67+ points - 20k investment for a 900K return {nm} jakerules Nov 21, 16:04

Good Catch - but Invisible Woman could report so you might have to wait 4 months for that jump {nm} JDolphin Nov 21, 16:22

+49 jump at current prices (236.27 for SPID5 and 3.52 for TNVSW) {nm} JDolphin Nov 21, 16:31

a little off in numbers - will adjust to 49, so that's +47.25 jump {nm} JDolphin Nov 21, 16:37

My bad on the #'s - 47-48 jump {nm} jakerules Nov 21, 16:58

INVBW actually will move the stock up . so it's a no brainer and not much risk at a $1 {nm} jakerules Nov 21, 16:56

But the DROI is terrible until TNVSW adjusts so for a small port you'd be better off putting in in PFOND for next week's adjust {nm} JDolphin Nov 21, 18:35

Already shorted Fonda but TY for the heads up. Just an observation , do what you like with it.. 20k to make about 900k {nm} Dank007 Nov 21, 18:37

Fonda is a nice short for a nice 100K+ Gain . KBELL is another to look at. 14pt+ swing for FROZE {nm} jakerules Nov 21, 18:46

Stars board. (Not that it's really wrong to post it here - it's just that Stars board needs the love) {nm} RogerMore Nov 21, 19:11

I was reading Sandman today and I was wondering if it ever had had an IPO. Has it ever been on the exchange? tatoufan Nov 20, 13:30

Devin's pretty reliable. He weighs integrity above hits. {nm} Moviesnob Nov 20, 17:32

Glad to hear it Moviesnob. I sure would like to see JGL as Morpheus if they make the film. {nm} tatoufan Nov 21, 12:57

remember holding Death: The High Cost of Living forever...and JGL as Morpheus is brilliant! MrZero Nov 20, 18:12

neil gaiman is my favorite author. i wish they would make a movie of neverwhere. im aware of the bbc miniseries but havent heard good things {nm} horrorfanatic Nov 20, 19:33

Have you seen "Mirrormask"? It not the best flick ever, but it's got some trippy eyecandy and it is Gaiman/McKean/Henson {nm} Willroast Nov 20, 20:46

Thanks for the 'Mirrormask' rec. I have never seen it, but will certainly check it out. {nm} tatoufan Nov 21, 12:59

Neverwhere was ok as long as you remember that the BBC isn't known for their sfx. For a low budget piece, it tells the story nicely. {nm} Paul2k Nov 21, 20:18

no i havent seen it but thanks! i'll make it a priority to do so! american gods would a pretty decent movie imho, so would good omens. {nm} horrorfanatic Nov 21, 14:26

Sandman was never a moviestock. And I think JGL is just too short to be Morpheus (with the undertstanding that movies can make anyone look Paul2k Nov 21, 20:17

Thanks Paul2k, he'll look taller on an apple box. {nm} tatoufan Nov 22, 13:35

Hunger Games Sell.. MitchC Nov 16, 12:45

'The Hunger Games' Adjust was 418.50 with a Delist at 336.67. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Nov 16, 13:02

I think Roto's post right here gives a good impression of what may be the way to play this. Also check out RogerMore's column located above {nm} CrockettsMafia Nov 18, 19:27

Think about it. The HGAM2.OW is priced at 175. If correct, that's a potential adjust price of almost 470. Why are you talking sell at all? tatoufan Nov 16, 16:18

Because 175 makes it the 2nd biggest opening ever - 23 mil above the 1st movie. So I don't fault anyone that thinks that's too high to hold. {nm} JDolphin Nov 16, 20:43

Yeah, I had the same thoughts at 430, but I am in for the long haul now (mostly because of the commission). THOR2's % gap up over the first tatoufan Nov 17, 03:17

So how do you predict delist price? Do you use ratio after 1st week and forget it, or do you have another ongoing strategy? Here's mine. PVL Admin Nov 16, 09:45
