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

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

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

I stand corrected. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 23, 21:43

Congrats to Billionaire Society league-passed the 1/2 trillion dollar mark! {nm} forlorne Aug 22, 12:41

Great work by tatoufan for a great job on a very fast [EURO] turnaround. Buy BONDS 20 Aug 20, 07:32

Nicely Done. Congrats on another Outstanding Performance. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Aug 20, 11:07

Can you sell accounts? Brae Aug 14, 12:27

Why not. No Restriction against so doing. Best Wishes with that. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Aug 14, 12:42

When I first started playing, ports of $100M were selling for quite a bit, since back then there were no Flash Aug 15, 09:08

This is fracked up...EURO has gone from IPO to within 5 of delist in < 3 months and < 20M shares, 24th best {nm} BONDS 20 final days Aug 14, 12:13

These kind of fund managers rock and put the rest of us to shame... :) {nm} slappydavid Aug 14, 12:18

He's giving you a standard to live up to! :P {nm} DTravel Aug 14, 13:04

Meanwhile, my challenging and super fun Miami Vice Fund sits waiting for approval even though it would kill it. C'mon man! {nm} Willroast Aug 14, 22:55

I'm just saying that if finds can be as vauge and all-encompassing as Euro and African American, certainly a Miami Vice Fund would work. {nm} Willroast Aug 14, 22:57

How is Euro vague for starbonds you have to be from mainland Europe not from UK and Ireland simples blaze223 Aug 15, 07:38

Not wanting to put words in Willroasts mouth, but I think he means vague as in unrestricted not as in difficult to understand srrichardson Aug 15, 09:27

That is what I meant srrichardson. I wasn't trying to dog those funds though, just messin around. The Vice Fund would be a bit more (cont) Willroast Aug 15, 17:02

Would the fund include movies shot and or set in MIA? The problem is if you do not have a lot of movies opening, not much real motion, Buy BONDS 21 Aug 15, 21:57

If it's been 2 weeks then I doubt it will happen - you probably need to tweak your criteria srrichardson Aug 16, 00:52

That's a real shame. I think I nailed the first 2, but I suspect it may not have interested him. Too bad in my opinion because I think Willroast Aug 16, 19:09

The TV series is nealr 40 years old. How of them even have StarBonds? {nm} Antibody Aug 19, 14:08

"Guest star" is too strenuous of a connection. None can attribute their success to such an old show. {nm} Antibody Aug 19, 14:25

I think you'd be surprised. I listed 16 from just the 3rd season in my email. There are at least 50 over 5 seasons. Some from season 3- Willroast Aug 19, 17:46

The former SNLers were regulars for multiple seasons and got their acting start and fame directly as a result of SNL. Antibody Aug 20, 11:53

That was the theme. ONE show featured so many future stars. More than SNL more than Disney. It's not been done before of since. Willroast Aug 20, 15:54

I apologize for still going, but another misrepresentation is calling the "Guest Star" spots "appearances" Willroast Aug 20, 16:46

I don't find EURO all-encompassing, especially with the new regs. It moves because a lot of research goes into its' buys. Big tax incentives tatoufan Aug 16, 00:38

Out of interest, how many starbonds are eligible for EURO to invest in? {nm} RogerMore Aug 16, 20:22

I haven't done a count. but there are quite a few. The problem is they don't seem to have a lot of adjust room this time around. tatoufan Aug 18, 02:10

I'm thinking more that # of Starbonds is a proxy for how many movies you can invest in. RogerMore Aug 18, 09:19

This time around EURO had a few nice, qualifying and profitable blockbusters, which helped out the fund a lot. {nm} tatoufan Aug 16, 00:32

[BONDS] is fully invested, low point of value is 19.88 not 19.81 BONDS 20 final days Aug 14, 00:24

Good luck!!! I'm in :-) {nm} tatoufan Aug 14, 04:05

When people short or cover a stock, how does that affect the stock price? {nm} badvladdy Aug 11, 11:24

Shorting has the same affect as selling, covering has the same affect as buying {nm} lapuckfan Aug 11, 11:37

when it comes to playing hsx options jaymel Aug 11, 14:03

if you had the call long - you will lose money as it delists at $0 {nm} JDolphin Aug 11, 22:08

Good luck!!! And good poster choice. {nm} tatoufan Aug 14, 04:04

Frustration with StarBonds socby19 Aug 09, 18:46

After an adjust its common for people to unload the SB to put the money in other securities with better returns. DTravel Aug 09, 19:44

I figured that might be it but the drop seemed a little high. Thanks. {nm} socby19 Aug 09, 20:22

If the reference is to (BCUMB), there are two likely reasons (INSIDE). If not, the second reason applies. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Aug 09, 20:11

As a newer player, with a small port, I do not reccommend long term StarBond holds.... Buy BONDS 21 Aug 10, 05:41

LOL - completely unaware that you were a Newer Player with a Small Port. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Aug 10, 07:57

Not everyone starts with a portfolio that was bought on Ebay Buy BONDS 21 Aug 10, 09:47

In the end you'll still get the ROI you planned on getting... unless the next movie tanks. {nm} CommonAnomaly Aug 12, 17:06

Blue Jasmine did well in limited release so what are the hsx possibilities from here? JPS13 Aug 09, 10:18

It's at 116 theatres. I think i recall there were expansion plans (can someone confirm?) {nm} PVL Admin Aug 09, 14:46

MILESTONE: 2 MILL to 600 MILL In 221 Days. Average Daily Profit Gain = +2.71 MILL Per Day. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Aug 09, 05:28

500 MILL to 600 MILL in 18 Days. Average Daily Profit Gain = +5.55 MILL Per Day. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Aug 09, 05:29

Your next milestone is 1 Billion. Perhaps these might be better entitled as Benchmarks. Just sayin' {nm} PVL Admin Aug 09, 14:43

Which multiplier will "Meet the Millers" fall under? Will it be ALL BO from tue to Sun *2.7 or will it be *2 (like Thanksgiving OWs)? Thanks {nm} Willroast Aug 07, 14:00

Sorry. Meant to put this on Movies Forum. Still though, thanks in advance. {nm} Willroast Aug 07, 14:02

The calendar is your friend :) {nm} RogerMore Aug 07, 14:24

I hadn't noticed that the calender had those details. I wasn't sure from the glossary description. Learnin' something new every day. {nm} CrockettsMafia Aug 07, 14:28

I guess people sometimes miss it because adjust is Sunday - which you have to flip the page for {nm} tealfan Aug 07, 15:21

This is great! Thanks for sharing. Nice to see RS where it belongs, but surprised at MTC. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 06, 15:18

The formulas in that column go wonky when I sort it, so you were looking at bad info. Sorry. RS aside, everyone is in a 74-78% band {nm} RogerMore Aug 06, 15:53

Should be sorted by Year-month-day rather than day-month-year. Thanks for making the info available. {nm} Antibody Aug 06, 15:33
