Is commission when covering a short 1% of security price when you cover, or 1% of the total amount you get in cash from the transaction? {nm} forlorne Jul 03, 14:17

commission is based on stock price {nm} lapuckfan Jul 03, 14:42

Thanks! I had no idea... {nm} forlorne Jul 05, 07:46

Hey that's cool, I didn't know you could see that {nm} JDolphin Jul 03, 21:36

No, it's based on total value of the trade. ndmaster Jul 06, 11:01

Whoops, I'm wrong. Sorry. I thought it was how I described it, maybe it was a long time ago. {nm} ndmaster Jul 06, 11:12

Are the "OW's" for this weekend just Fri, Sat, Sun? or do they include from Wednesday? {nm} pelon86 Jul 01, 17:33

Graduates have been removed from their levels. YOU MUST ensure you apply to the next higher level. Competition starts today!!! {nm} PVL Admin Jul 01, 14:21

WOWZER - Eleven (11) Classic Cash Wins For The Month Of June 2013 (03-05-06-13-16-18-20-21-25-26-27). {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Jul 01, 07:21

I win maybe 1 time a month. I'm not lucky with that at all. Wonder if there is a trick to it. {nm} Quickslver99 Jul 01, 07:29

I'm new :) help regarding shorting and cover Filmstardust Jun 28, 13:28

That's exactly what happened. You pay commission on the price of the stock, not on just the gain. Math inside... lapuckfan Jun 28, 13:39

Oh thanks, i get it now! {nm} Filmstardust Jun 28, 14:08

One thing that you can do is track your % gained on the stock. You know you will be charged 2% total... Quickslver99 Jun 28, 14:31

One other thing that might help you is getting involved in a PVL League. Since you are new..... Quickslver99 Jun 28, 14:34

Thanks you so much both of you! Filmstardust Jun 28, 15:09

You've got the basic idea of Starbonds. They adjust the day after a movie they are attached to delists (usually Tuesdays). {nm} DTravel Jun 28, 18:03

One last thing: any league that you can recommend me? {nm} Filmstardust Jun 28, 15:10

WHY IS PACIFIC RIM ONLY PRICED AT 124.8$?!?! Frankmiller92 Jun 27, 14:13

Well first you shouldn't be putting in the price of the stock and second the reason is there have been bad reviews and.. Quickslver99 Jun 27, 14:50

What bad reviews? {nm} slappydavid Jun 27, 15:41

There are no reviews for this film. {nm} tatoufan Jun 27, 15:50

Exactly. The issue has been tracking, not bad reviews... {nm} slappydavid Jun 27, 15:59

After I typed it up I meant to put bad tracking not bad reviews. Sorry. {nm} Quickslver99 Jun 27, 19:47

Also, you are mistaken on how the price works lapuckfan Jun 27, 15:21

Price works Frankmiller92 Jun 28, 03:14

So the price works like this.... Quickslver99 Jun 28, 06:09

Standard weekend is Friday to Sunday with the stock halting at 6pm Pacific time. {nm} Quickslver99 Jun 28, 06:11

Why is there no overall market indications? Darkjinni2 Jun 26, 10:51

There has been talk about it, but it's not particularly workable because of how regularly moviestocks delist45. RogerMore Jun 26, 12:58

Wow that is a great way to think of it. I never have thought about it that way. Great post RogerMore!! {nm} Quickslver99 Jun 26, 13:35

Thanks for the great response. Maybe a script can be made to pull that info for comparison. {nm} Darkjinni2 Jun 26, 14:15

I've been toying with the idea of using Starbonds DTravel Jun 26, 17:59

Yes - it would mean that you have extra time on your hands. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jun 26, 19:11

What is this "extra time" thing your speak of, stranger? {nm} DTravel Jun 26, 19:13

I don't think so as starbond adjusts depend as much on what movie is dropping out as much as the movie coming in RogerMore Jun 26, 19:26

Individually I agree but in the aggregrate I've been noticing trends in tracking which ones I invest in. DTravel Jun 28, 17:55

I don't completely understand Opening Weekend Darkjinni2 Jun 26, 10:24

Look at 2nd post down. It explains them. {nm} Quickslver99 Jun 26, 11:00

Each derivate page has the explanation as to how it works... {nm} slappydavid Jun 26, 12:12

I don't understand either explanation the 2nd post down or the derivative page. Darkjinni2 Jun 26, 14:30

In your example, the OW would cash out at $77... slappydavid Jun 26, 17:31

I'm referring to the "Opening Weekend" not the "Call or Put". {nm} Darkjinni2 Jun 27, 08:21

There are 4 securites affected by the opening weekend of a movie - the regular movie stock, the .OW, the Call and the Put ... JDolphin Jun 27, 11:35

oops posted too soon - more inside JDolphin Jun 27, 11:45

I think i understand now. So, the OW is just a bigger risk or reward based on weekend box office? vigus24 Jun 27, 15:52

Penny stock strike again {nm} mike255 Jun 25, 16:17

Want to Ask. I understand the basics of Opening Weekend now. Final Question. What r the diff between OW and Call/Put options?... {nm} Frankmiller92 Jun 25, 13:58

answer... Quickslver99 Jun 25, 14:09

Calls and Puts have always been a way for the smaller investor to "get in on the action" They only cost 20K each to buy Buy BONDS 20 Jun 25, 16:06

Uh - got that wrong - 20,000 Shares @ 2.00 = 40,000. for each CALL & PUT. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jun 25, 17:34

Your explanation made alot of sense, thank you very much. :) {nm} vigus24 Jun 27, 16:05

To all the billionaires out there.... Quickslver99 Jun 25, 12:40

It is certainly a lot easier to get to a billion now - 100K of shares, Saturday halts, etc. Average time is up to you and your style of play RogerMore Jun 25, 13:31

Thanks Roger. I do daytrading sometimes and follow news and all of that. I'd like to have gains of 3M/day like some Quickslver99 Jun 25, 13:59

Some hints about playing the players... RogerMore Jun 25, 20:28

Good advice thanks for the comment. {nm} Quickslver99 Jun 26, 06:34

New Fund Idea: The Thin Jonah Hill Fund! Only movies and costars of movies where Jonah is thin. Boom. {nm} CommonAnomaly Jun 24, 06:47

Sooooo, a fund that can't invest in anything. Hmmmm {nm} DTravel Jun 24, 09:52

Want To Ask. What is a OW aka Opening Weekend option? {nm} Frankmiller92 Jun 23, 04:08

It is a security that cashes out (delists) at the actual amount of the opening weekend box office of a wide release movie with no multipier. Buy BONDS 20 Jun 23, 06:31

Typo..... 89.10= 33 * 2.7 {nm} Buy BONDS 20 Jun 23, 06:33

They IPO nine days before the movie releases, not the two implied by "Wednesday prior to the opening of the movie" DTravel Jun 23, 10:41

I'm pretty sure it's always a Wednesday(see HNOV3). It's the Wed of the week before the opening week. {nm} JDolphin Jun 23, 15:01

Yes, always a Wed. Was trying to say "Wed of week before release" rather than "the Wed before release" DTravel Jun 24, 09:51

i had to think a bit before I figured out how to say it. And even then I had to look at it twice, three times. :) {nm} JDolphin Jun 24, 15:00

An explanation and details about OWs are printed on each OW page. {nm} RazorHawk Jun 23, 06:49

coming in 2014(pending approval from hsx)... jaymel Jun 21, 08:03

Good idea, but it will be a slow earner if you only play OW, BW Calls and Puts. {nm} tatoufan Jun 21, 09:56

well its.. jaymel Jun 21, 21:55

About adding real stock in hsx {nm} mike255 Jun 22, 06:13

TV stocks, Nominoptions and Oscar derivatives should also be eligible, but there is rarely a lot of investment choices... Buy BONDS 20 Jun 22, 19:46

They need to put some reality shows who is going to win. {nm} mike255 Jun 22, 21:07

Years ago I remember the EAP Fund doing something similar, and it would also play the Moviestocks through their opening weekend. jsnruf Jun 24, 06:29
