AFRAM 3 Fund Update: Week 4 RazorHawk Aug 01, 17:13

So comparing your elgible StarBonds to my dROI list...the best bets are: BONDS 21 on the horizon Aug 02, 11:52

We're the Millers, Call or Put? {nm} Latteralus Jul 31, 12:15

Depends, do you think drug humor and Jennifer Aniston almost getting naked, again, is a big draw? {nm} DTravel Jul 31, 13:05

Perhaps on the first and Always on the second. Eventually Jennifer Aniston will become the hottest 80 year old on the planet. {nm} Willroast Jul 31, 14:12

Nobody can tell you how to invest. Do some research, look at the estimates and hype, decide for yourself. {nm} PVL Admin Jul 31, 15:24

Ever have days when you just see Red! Is there a pill or silver bullet for that? JPS13 Jul 31, 11:42

Hang in there, red days are bound to happen every now and then... {nm} slappydavid Jul 31, 11:49

*Sends Red / Green Switcharoo Pill via Fedex.* Instructions - Swallow with Water; you see nothing but Green. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jul 31, 21:44

Includes a ROTOPASTIT telling how to make Billions & Billions?? JPS13 Jul 31, 21:59

sorry "RotoPostit" JPS13 Jul 31, 22:01

Will send the RotoPostit Pill via Fedex once it is FDA-Approved. Instantly* turns a Small Port into a Large Port. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jul 31, 22:23

Alex Rodriguez ordered this Pill mistakenly thinking it would turn a Small Part into a Large Part. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jul 31, 22:55

*Sigh* MovieStocks Stress me out. Has anyone had success with a Bonds/Funds/Derivatives aggie2145 Jul 31, 10:05

Once I got a handle on how the game works, that's what I ended up doing. DTravel Jul 31, 10:37

Of couse, as they say at my local Regal...GO BIG or go home. {nm} BONDS 21 on the horizon Jul 31, 10:48

I thought that was "Go Big or Go Extinct" {nm} DTravel Jul 31, 13:04

Thanks DT Travel, I have enjoyed reading your tips and you're right, they translate to small ports as well {nm} aggie2145 Jul 31, 11:56

I'm a newbie, i'm i already realize that the only sure bet is Starbonds, and Funds. Filmstardust Jul 31, 20:06

ive just started messing around with derivatives and so far ive had pretty good luck...except for that unfortunate wolverine incident... horrorfanatic Jul 31, 16:19

Yeah I made a huge mistake looking for easy (?) cash and shorted the WOLV2 Put. Trying to make 20k cost me nearly 300k. Learned from it. {nm} Willroast Aug 01, 12:27

(Checks Movies board again for news...reloads portfolio...sighs...repeats) {nm} ChoiceFund Jul 31, 09:46

Those last few pennies must be really irking you! Congrats in advance! {nm} aggie2145 Jul 31, 10:08

I can stop holding my breath...Congratulations to stevie1der328 and [CHOIC] for making the right choices. BONDS 21 on the horizon Jul 31, 18:51

Thanks, mrbinns! I was using you as a pace setter for a while until that insane 6 million dollar day you had. {nm} ChoiceFund Aug 01, 13:19

Good lick to gallonc and [ZOO] As I type this, the price was (hopefully) at its lowest. Happy trading BONDS 21 on the horizon Jul 31, 05:05

That was supposed to be luck. Make up your own followups. BONDS 21 on the horizon Jul 31, 05:06

I'm in! Make sure to keep an eye out for breaking news on live-action Babar! John goodman + CGI would be hollywood gold baby! {nm} Willroast Jul 31, 05:21

Thanks.... I hope so too!!! Not many openers til next summer for ZOO so we shall see.... {nm} Tarheels Jul 31, 11:32

This is really annoying: why there ALWAYS some difference between the price you buy and the one they charge you!? Filmstardust Jul 30, 20:34

You are not alone - there's quite a few of us making trades srrichardson Jul 31, 01:46

Think this was discuused and answered recently by one of the major players blaze223 Jul 31, 02:02

I look at it this way: MY request causes the price to move, and, the request movement is registered before the trade is executed. edzep - Port Monkey! Jul 31, 02:05

Even better than just turning off trade confrimations: trade with Port Monkey. edzep - Port Monkey! Jul 31, 02:13

Yep, it's the way a lot of markets work. "Oh, you're interested in buying? Well, the price just went up due to increased demand" {nm} RogerMore Jul 31, 07:52

Of course to old users this doesn't affect much, but i have just a month on the game. So, as a beginner Filmstardust Jul 31, 08:20

made my first million today! been playing 2 months plus change. is that good or bad? horrorfanatic Jul 30, 17:20

I'd say you are on track. As long as you make sound investments you can grow your port fast Quickslver99 Jul 30, 17:52

Quicksilver strategy has paid off for me chorl Jul 30, 19:26

Nicely Done. Just keep up that 50% Growth Rate and you will do just fine. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jul 30, 18:27

A good goal when you're new, is to increase your port by 1% a day...as your port gets bigger, this is harder and harder to do... {nm} Flash Aug 01, 10:16

Never had a 2 million day...made 3 yesterday and joined the Top 10% in the game!! Yay! {nm} CommonAnomaly Jul 30, 11:36

congrats on your new personal best day! {nm} tealfan Jul 30, 12:06

congrats on your personal milestone. Keep on with the million dollar days. {nm} Quickslver99 Jul 30, 12:12

Nicely Done. Nothing Common about that. Here's hoping it is not an Anomaly. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jul 30, 13:28

They're At The Post ... Uh ... They're Off. You-Know-Who's Penny Stocks, that is. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jul 29, 15:30

And? {nm} slappydavid Jul 29, 17:29

Why will a major/wide release drop >20% within 2-4wks of OW? I see this over & over! Then regain market value. JPS13 Jul 28, 11:10

I assume you are talking post adjust and pre delist player behavior... PVL Admin Jul 28, 11:58

Conspire? {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jul 28, 13:04

Yes, conspire. circumstances or events that seem to work together to bring about a certain rsult. Usually a negative connotation. {nm} PVL Admin Jul 28, 13:20

*sends dictionary via Sask Pony Express*, *encourages DDJ to read secondary definitions of words to enhance vocab in prep for grade 4* PVL Admin Jul 28, 13:24

Best Wishes to you. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jul 28, 16:49

i thought they was talking bout pre adjust, the weeks leading up. if thats the case, then... islander Jul 29, 08:03

No this is not post anything except price flucation. Just wondering. Where is Mulder & Scully when I need them? JPS13 Jul 28, 18:50

San Diego. Link attached. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jul 28, 22:21

Must See Link above! my stream is too slow. Thks Love It JPS13 Jul 29, 08:55

DMac, can I do an Elysium contest? {nm} lobogotti Jul 26, 11:47

sorry guys/gals, thought I was on Feedback board. {nm} lobogotti Jul 26, 11:48

Do Funds on HSX work in a similar way as the real stock market? sisaac Jul 26, 08:12

How Funds Work (from Winter 2011) - The HSX Dude RazorHawk Jul 26, 09:38

Actually, I like the idea of a fee...... :) BONDS 21 coming soon Jul 27, 13:20

About Derivatives: what happens if i keep a security short by the time the stocks have halted? how they cash out? (cont) Filmstardust Jul 25, 10:14

Puts cash out the Monday after the opening weekend of the relevant movie, sometime after 4pm Pacific time. Roger More Jul 25, 11:03

Thanks, but i know that. What i don't know is when you have a put on short, what happens? (cont) Filmstardust Jul 25, 11:34

Yes, but it depends on whether the movie's OW makes the strike price. If it makes more than the strike price, the put will cash out at zero Roger More Jul 25, 11:55

Thanks for your time, excellent explanation. Very clear, that's what i needed to know :) {nm} Filmstardust Jul 25, 12:07

Why short a put? chorl Jul 26, 17:51

If you think it will cash out at zero. {nm} ndmaster Jul 26, 22:35

Thanks, still new here (nm) chorl Jul 27, 09:07

It is as Ndmaster says, but also, you can play with the market flow.(cont) Filmstardust Jul 27, 09:40

Congrats DJAVU for surpassing H$100 {nm} jsnruf Jul 24, 14:16

Nice work helmetz for bringing [DJAVU] home...but I feel that I have made this post before. mrbinns Jul 24, 14:40

Someone had to make that joke . . . {nm} JohnTEQP Jul 24, 19:42

It's like deja vu all over again. {nm} Yogi Berra Jul 24, 20:25

Penny stock strike again!! {nm} mike255 Jul 24, 10:04

Why do Movie Funds plumet after they hit $100? I thought they delisted, but instead they seem to drop then keep going. Carcharodon Jul 23, 16:17

They do delist at $100. But, since they use the same ticker symbol with each incarnartion, they appear to plummet on the graph {nm} lapuckfan Jul 23, 16:28

All theme funds IPO at H$20; Studio funds IPO at H$10 When theme funds reach the goal of 100, they delist at mrbinns Jul 24, 05:20

I "buy and forget" every fund {nm} JohnTEQP Jul 24, 19:45

BUY ZOO!! it's good for you and the enviroment! {nm} Tarheels Jul 23, 15:18

I already bought a zoo {nm} Matt Damon si Jul 23, 16:46

When does an IPO begin selling at market price? aggie2145 Jul 23, 13:17

After the initial shares are sold or the next day, whichever comes first {nm} lapuckfan Jul 23, 13:59

When Stock Shoots Up, Is It A Good Time To Sell? MitchC Jul 23, 13:04

Do you think it will keep going up? Is there another stock you think will do better that you could put the money in? DTravel Jul 23, 13:18
