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 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

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

Answer to question on STARS board about searching for future IPOs. PVL Admin Aug 23, 12:55

**AFTER "enter $3 for max" I should have added "click search button". Otherwise you will have no results to sort ;) {nm} PVL Admin Aug 23, 12:58

After searching, I found IPOs are in the active type - so that helps narrow the selection and if you are looking for limiteds only, they are JDolphin Aug 23, 13:10

I used to do it by selecting WRAP, but some IPOs start at development phase. They won't show. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 23, 13:13

Oh wait, you are correct if you are talking only about the small limited releases. I take my post back. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 23, 13:13

And twelve years is too long for a newspaper man *wink* {nm} DTravel Aug 23, 14:06

IPOs are active. Go look at all the TVStocks under Derivatives. {nm} socby19 Aug 23, 21:29
