Playing & Trading Strategy

Can somebody explain to me how a trader who hasn't been active since 2010 is making more $HSX each day that I. {nm} BuenaOnda Oct 01, 12:45

They are invested in a few long-term stocks that happen to be moving the right direction. Holiday releases, etc RogerMore Oct 01, 13:30

Wouldn't that be something if it was just Strategy. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Oct 01, 16:01

MILESTONE: 2 MILL To 800 MILL In 269 Days. Average Daily Profit Gain = +2.96 MILL Per Day. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Sep 26, 23:11

Kudos! You show it "can" be done!! Grory (#1 LTD) also did this a few years back, to show peeps that it IS possible!! {nm} Flash Sep 27, 08:39

She reached over $1 BILLION within a year...I should have said ^^^ !! {nm} Flash Sep 27, 08:40

...and she did it with one port and max 50000 shares per movie. Twice as easy now. 6 times with 3 ports {nm} PVL Admin Sep 27, 19:37

And exactly how do Multiple Ports help. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Sep 28, 07:31

Perhaps you could explain how your Multiple Ports helped your YTD Port. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Sep 28, 10:45

You're just crabby because I deflate your supposed milestones by pointing out your manipulation. PVL Admin Sep 28, 12:52

If you think that some sort of Manipulation has occurred, please contact HSX immediately. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Sep 28, 12:58

Your allegation of Manipulation is scandalous & scurrilous, and without a shred of evidence. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Sep 28, 13:00

Would hate to see your standup routine. Too whiney and not cerebral enough for me. {nm} PVL Admin Sep 28, 13:29

...and my ytd was doing quite nicely when i decided to let it go due to personal reasons external to HSX. You wouldn't understand. {nm} PVL Admin Sep 28, 13:32

If you think that something Improper is happening, please tell everybody what you think it is - & then contact HSX. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Sep 28, 15:24

Wow, just noticed AMATN's lack of movement, Animation Fund abandoned?. {nm} tatoufan Sep 24, 15:16

NO, Last Trade: Sep 24, 2013 {nm} Antibody Sep 24, 15:21

Glad to hear it, ty. {nm} tatoufan Sep 24, 15:36

[newbish]When to sell a movies stock loner Sep 22, 14:48

no one can tell you when to buy or sell a stock, its against the rules. the next play phase for the stock you mentioned is: Oleg Max Sep 22, 15:22

Ok but is there a way that HSX determines whether the price goes up or down? How the the price effected by the following weekend? loner Sep 22, 15:27

The price is determined by demand until delist. Traders buying/covering the stock pushes the price up, selling/shorting pushes it down {nm} RogerMore Sep 22, 15:30

Movie stocks are adjusted for opening weekend (look at Market Calendar under News and Events), and it delists at Box Office gross, other JDolphin Sep 22, 18:13

when my port was your size, I sold anything that had a certain % gain I liked andI immediately reinvested it into something else ... tatoufan Sep 24, 13:02

"Hey, big spender!" Port Monkey will now identify Moviestocks NOT owned in your portfolio. edzep - Port Monkey! Sep 21, 19:50

A reminder for current PM users: With Firefox, just do a regular install; no uninstalling headaches, edzep - Port Monkey! Sep 21, 20:13

OMG I'm so excited. Now Big Ed, we'll be waiting for the next big surprises. hahaha {nm} grammar Sep 21, 20:31

Whoa .. I was missing 20 and I know for sure a trade didn't complete for some of them. {nm} grammar Sep 21, 21:02

1172 not held... hehe {nm} slappydavid Sep 21, 21:23

Keep up the good work!!! {nm} eyescovered Sep 22, 06:16

I have an idea !!! What about a script that tells us when we are holding a stock both ways? {nm} grammar Sep 22, 15:59

I'll think about. edzep - Port Monkey! Sep 22, 16:59

Sort the portfolio view by stock symbol and scan the list for double entries. {nm} DTravel Sep 22, 17:38

It takes a while for my puter to sort thru and scanning is tedius. Now I catch them by accident. :) {nm} grammar Sep 22, 17:51

C&p your port into Excel - then in a new column to the right, paste in the formula =IF(A2=A3,"both ways",""). Drag the formula down RogerMore Sep 23, 08:10

I'm using Firefox, but the Bond adjust prices don't show when clicking 'current' price, also... stocks I don't own doesn't show...thoughts? {nm} Flash Sep 23, 08:32

Make sure, when prompted by FF, to allow popups on HSX. Port Monkey's doing the popping, edzep - Port Monkey! Sep 23, 12:25

Pop goes the monkey? {nm} DTravel Sep 23, 12:46

Ok, thanks...I'll check those things...nice work on it, BTW! {nm} Flash Sep 24, 08:08

hmmm...is this a normal occurrence, once the summer blockbuster season is over for EVERYTHING to be down? {nm} horrorfanatic Sep 21, 06:33

Yep, there is usually a market downturn shortly after the summer movies delist and another a few weeks after the holiday movies delist {nm} RogerMore Sep 21, 06:44

september is a notoriously slow month for a lot of players. But there is $$$ out there, it just takes more experience/patience/savoir faire {nm} islander Sep 21, 06:47

Good job. Where you always holding them wrong or just not playing them? {nm} Quickslver99 Sep 15, 13:07

I had been holding them wrong (OWs). Glad this came through, I had been dreading Monday's the past month, not tomorrow though :-) tatoufan Sep 15, 14:28

Yeah I've held a few wrong the last few weeks. Least they haven't been big hits to my port tho. {nm} Quickslver99 Sep 15, 17:44
