When SBs w/o recent film credits cash out, is a commission charged for those I have in my port? {nm} agent_l Sep 14, 06:52

no {nm} RazorHawk Sep 14, 09:20

Sunday MovieStock Adjust times... agent_l Sep 13, 22:04

no set time, but approx. between 10-11 AM Pacific...usually {nm} tealfan Sep 14, 01:26

Nice cinemath article from Collider (2012) tatoufan Sep 13, 11:18

Another very interesting read, this is from BoxOfficeQuant. tatoufan Sep 13, 11:28

Just for kicks & grins (and 'cause I'm bored), inside are the results for this weekend's wide openers DTravel Sep 13, 12:56

Got the same for Nsid and close on Fmly. Glad you posted it, I don't trust my math ;-) {nm} tatoufan Sep 13, 16:22

The formula is easy enough to write into a spreadsheet. That's what I did. {nm} DTravel Sep 16, 10:09

It wsn't to horribly off from the adjust #'s, take away the fri. 13th factor and I think CNJUR mighta done a wee bit less,. {nm} tatoufan Sep 16, 14:56

Nosy is working in Chrome, again... edzep - Port Monkey! Sep 13, 11:16

New Player tip, join a PVL (Port Value League)l. Probably the best thing I ever did for my port. Click browse leagues and fing the one... tatoufan Sep 12, 08:13

I agree with you tatoufan. After I joined the PVL leagues, I started to grow my port because there was ... Quickslver99 Sep 12, 09:07

Thx for the PSA. I hope you and Rocket are not the same person too :D. Seriously though, i am glad you appreciate the PVLs. {nm} PVL Admin Sep 12, 09:17

I've been a PVL player for over 2 years, every month in the top 3! It's a great feeling, it motivates you to keep pushing up! {nm} slappydavid Sep 12, 12:12

Exactly Quicksilver99, PVLs taught me alot and make trading more fun. Heck, I didn't even know what a 'good day' was until I joined a PVL. {nm} tatoufan Sep 13, 11:50

question about IPO - how they set the starting price and shares scwgen Sep 11, 19:54

Start price for derivates stays set the whole day until reset at 12am PT {nm} JDolphin Sep 11, 20:55

Can the strike price be devined from the MS price? What does {nm} mean? JPS13 Sep 10, 19:57

The strike price for .CA, .PU and .OW is approximately the current price divided by 2.7 rounded to the neares 5. Antibody does the mrbinns Sep 10, 21:16

Division by 2.2 for those 4-Day Weekends as outlined in the Market Calendar Adjust. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Sep 11, 10:38

Rounded to the Nearest 5...? When did that rule come about? {nm} agent_l Sep 13, 22:15

In the old HSX days when posting, if there was "no message" inside a post players would put "nm" at the end of their post Flash Sep 11, 07:43

That should be in the trivia for Learn & Earn, thanks Flash. {nm} tatoufan Sep 11, 14:43

Derivatives are not for the faint of heart...Perhaps I need to pay more attention in HSX class aggie2145 Sep 10, 09:34

Could have been worse, you could have gone the wrong way on the movie stocks themselves. ;) {nm} DTravel Sep 10, 09:59

Very True DTravel....it could have been incredibly bad. Thank goodness for today's adjust. {nm} aggie2145 Sep 10, 14:13

I remember making those same mistakes when I first started LogBomb Sep 12, 04:33

It's cash out day for the Studio funds...Lets give 3 cheers to the managers....It is not an easy road, starting with only 10K and no Bonds. Buy BONDS 21 Sep 09, 11:26

Cheering from the UK and thanks blaze223 Sep 09, 11:34

kudos to all! {nm} tealfan Sep 09, 12:16

Thanks all! {nm} tatoufan Sep 09, 12:51

Had no idea they started with only 10K. Very impressive results! {nm} forlorne Sep 10, 07:45

Studio Funds start with 10 mill; Theme Funds start with 20 mill {nm} RazorHawk Sep 10, 08:42

That makes sense with the $10/$20 IPO price aggie2145 Sep 10, 09:37

It's always a pleasure! {nm} UNIVXFund Sep 11, 15:09

Good job guys, it's a tough job, but a great learning experience. stevie1der328 Sep 16, 11:05

Is this fund being actively managed? Agamemnon Apr 22, 09:40

The rankings change is based on you gains/losses from yesterday. DTravel Sep 06, 09:52

Congratulations to August's Port Value League Winners! (results inside) PVL Admin Sep 01, 15:07

I graduated a lot of members the last couple of months. Remember that you have to apply to the next level to continue in the competition... {nm} PVL Admin Sep 01, 15:08

Hey! I won!!! I'm so happy! Question: do i have to apply now to the next level, or wait till i have the money (i'm at 29M now) {nm} Filmstardust Sep 01, 20:31

You can apply 5 mil before graduating...it's in the rules on every league page...50 mil early once you get into billionaire levels. {nm} PVL Admin Sep 01, 20:37

Thanks...! I have applied to the next level now! {nm} Filmstardust Sep 01, 20:56

Fridays securities are pre-ipo and cannot be traded {nm} laujer Aug 30, 08:30

The following day. Prices are frozen on IPO's the day they are released... {nm} Flash Aug 30, 10:34

Unless all of the IPO shares are bought. As soon as it sells out, price will start moving. {nm} ndmaster Aug 30, 10:39

** This post has been removed by the forum moderator! ** Visakhapatnam Aug 30, 11:00

TV stocks don't have a IPO cap, so that one won't move until tomorrow {nm} lapuckfan Aug 30, 11:03

Aw :( Thx for the answers! {nm} Visakhapatnam Aug 30, 11:11

Wow Antibody, got really busy on this one. :-) {nm} elchan Sep 17, 09:03

No internet for the past week, :-(. It's a bummer trading on my phone, but I see a moble version is in the works :-). {nm} tatoufan Aug 29, 11:19

What mobile version? I trade on my phone every day during work hours, so I know what you mean... {nm} slappydavid Aug 29, 11:48

There was a message a couple days ago on the login page about mobile HSX... tatoufan Aug 30, 01:32

that's good to know {nm} daveart Aug 30, 08:52

What would it trading more mobile friendly. I've been toying with the idea of making HowProfitable more compatible with mobile. {nm} elchan Sep 17, 09:19

Well done Islander for getting the Young fund over the top blaze223 Aug 29, 08:53

thanks! may not stick enough to get delisted this week. but defintely next week when bonds adjust {nm} islander Aug 29, 08:56

Nicely Done. Looking forward to the Sequel. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Aug 29, 09:44

thanks. uncertain on sequel (will decide soon) {nm} islander Aug 29, 09:52

Hey Bravo!!!! Hope to see it back. {nm} tatoufan Aug 29, 11:18

Thanks. It did take me 14+ months, which is kinda long. But I would aim faster next time! {nm} islander Aug 29, 13:40

if you do not go fast enough then (some) starbonds could get disqualified for the fund... did you have to drop any bonds this time around? {nm} AFRAM The African American Fund Aug 29, 16:18

this version has different criteria than the previous one did. iirc, the previous fund was actors under 30. mine is actors born after... islander Aug 29, 17:34

to keep it "young" and more challenging for you I would suggest Oleg Max Aug 29, 17:51

p.s. congrats on hitting 100! {nm} Oleg Max Aug 29, 17:57

thanks. if switch to 1/1/91, would lose 13 of 46 bonds. new bonds dont ipo frequently, only 8 in past 14 months {nm} islander Aug 29, 18:40

o wow, pretty big loss... I guess that idea wasn't really good... {nm} Oleg Max Aug 29, 19:15

Congratulations {nm} oneman Aug 29, 13:46

Thank you {nm} islander Aug 29, 14:28

The important thing is that you got the job done. Congrats to [YOUNG] mrbinns Aug 30, 04:34
