Fund Watch 4 - EURO & AARP whitewalls Mar 20, 07:52

Those are 2 of the fastest growing funds around. More impressive if you consider they were IPO'd less than 2 months ago... {nm} slappydavid Mar 20, 12:11

Hah! And everyone said moviefunds weren't good for small ports. d: {nm} Panda Mar 21, 01:12

Yeah, the fund has been on a tear. How do you choose which upcoming films to invest in? whitewalls Mar 20, 17:26

Cool! - Thanks for the input, and keep up the great work! {nm} whitewalls Mar 20, 17:56

New Fundwatch Posts -- COMIC & AUSIE whitewalls Mar 19, 05:14

This is great! Looking forward to more of your posts! {nm} slappydavid Mar 19, 06:13

Thanks! {nm} whitewalls Mar 19, 07:18

Fun! You're making me self conscious about my current holdings. {nm} ChoiceFund Mar 19, 07:41

I think this is a great opportunity for you to invite managers to start a dialogue on the P&TS board when you write their update. {nm} ChoiceFund Mar 19, 07:42

It would encourage transparency and give established traders an (optional) chance to discuss how they make trading decisions ChoiceFund Mar 19, 07:45

I would love feedback from the individual fund managers about what their strategy ther are using... whitewalls Mar 19, 09:21

Very interesting. I think you're right to focus more on the fund's overall strategy/philosophy rather than on particular stocks and why they RogerMore Mar 19, 07:55

Starting a blog about funds! First up is DISNX whitewalls Mar 17, 22:26

A Movie Fund Blog - what an excellent idea - Kudos for Thinking outside the Box. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 18, 00:22

DISNX should expand its Mandate to include StarBonds & Derivatives. Other Funds are investing in those. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 18, 00:27

Why are Movie Funds investing in themselves when they have no Mandate to do so? {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 18, 00:29

funds have been allowed to hold (1) share of their own fund. anymore than that is wrong and should be pointed out politely islander Mar 18, 06:59

Then this should be identified in their Mandate. It's a simple inclusion. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 18, 14:05

Why is PARAX investing in other Movie Funds when it has no Mandate to do so? {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 18, 00:30

If Studio Funds want on invest in StarBonds & Derivatives, their Mandate should say so. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 18, 00:32

starbonds are not allowed to be held by studio funds. this should be pointed out to the admin. some derivs are allowed islander Mar 18, 07:06

It has nothing to do with 'uncertainty'. The Rules should be clear and should be followed. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 18, 14:04

none of the studio funds are holding starbonds, & none hold more than 1 share of a studio fund, so no problems w/ the rules {nm} lapuckfan Mar 18, 14:20

Not Correct - PARAX has a StarBond Investment. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 18, 15:21

> islander Mar 18, 16:00

The PARAX fund manager probably just made a trade in their fund when they thought they were in their port. {nm} RogerMore Mar 18, 16:04

I was thinking the exact same thing. It has happened to me at least twice, so it's not unlikely... slappydavid Mar 18, 16:14

It was a Statement of Fact. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 18, 17:07

I didn't mean you in this case, I was just suggesting a possible general way of doing it... {nm} slappydavid Mar 18, 20:01

All Righty. Thanks. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 18, 23:14

And... Issue II, FOXX is up. whitewalls Mar 18, 01:27

Thanks for your analysis of the FOXX fund CButera Mar 26, 16:55

There will be a follow-up with the new format coming soom, most likely in mid-April after I am back from Vacation. {nm} whitewalls Mar 26, 17:30

Looks good... some thoughts inside. RogerMore Mar 18, 08:33

re: the monthly fund report, yeah it got to be more work than i was interested in. would be nice if someone wanted to do it islander Mar 18, 08:51

Thanks for the input Roger... whitewalls Mar 18, 12:49

HSX Traders & Us as a predictive market phdpens Mar 17, 17:52

The best recent example is (I think) ZDTHR. The price at Friday reset was 77.6, the adjust price was 77.48 RogerMore Mar 17, 20:00

Work through the announcement forum. Every week there is a post called "official adjusts". It shows halted and adjust price. {nm} PVL Admin Mar 17, 20:23

The HSX Dude has a list of HSX Weekend Adjusts (that goes back a few years) (link inside) RazorHawk Mar 18, 09:40

thanks guys! (nm) phdpens Mar 18, 14:03

We're accurate because of the timing of the halts JohnTEQP Mar 20, 21:10

The Comic Fund [COMIC] is under new management. {nm} RazorHawk Mar 15, 05:53

The flat-lined WBROX Fund needs new Management. Even the paramedics gave up on this one. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 15, 16:11

Fund managers are replaced for inactivity... not for poor results. WBROX is still being actively managed (last trade= yesterday) {nm} RazorHawk Mar 15, 18:01

The phrase 'being actively managed' is used quite loosely. There are 'poor results' and then there are 'no results at all'. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 15, 20:42

Suggested substitution: "Inexplicably" for "actively" (substantive fund comments inside) DTXbro Mar 17, 10:11

WBROX is supposed to invest in Warner Bros. upcoming releases. But have a look at what the fund is holding. RogerMore Mar 17, 16:04

I am not aware of the "[upcoming releases" rule; I just try to make as much profit as I can using eligible investments. [nm] DTXbro Mar 17, 21:00

To clarify, there's no rule saying that studio fund can only invest in relevant stocks with a release date, but... RogerMore Mar 18, 06:26

Wasn't WBROX that superstar fund last year? {nm} JohnTEQP Mar 20, 21:15

It was. Totally different Fund Manager. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 21, 14:39

Is the comic fund manager asleep? 3986918 Aug 11, 12:53

Needs new management Cornfolio Feb 06, 17:04

is there a way to automatically sell all 180 star bonds you hold?? bunty_ketti Mar 14, 08:16

No, but the Chimp trading widget developed by Edzep makes it a lot easier. Just mouseover the ticker symbol then press the trade button. RogerMore Mar 14, 08:34

thanks for the input {nm} bunty_ketti Mar 16, 08:34

Day Trading: Necessary to Maximize Port Growth or The Way to Drive Yourself Insane? Discuss. {nm} JustaGuy Mar 13, 13:21

Isn't it both? Really it comes down to how you want to play the game and what your goals are. RogerMore Mar 13, 13:49

You can work a system depending on how much time you have and your accesibility to news. The market's behavior is not that unpredictable... {nm} slappydavid Mar 13, 14:02

Absolutely essential for the Top YTD Ports. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 13, 17:53

HSXsanity celebrates its 50th column by explaining PINK2. Also, columns on wide or limited?, midnight box office data, and how interpret it RogerMore Mar 12, 09:49

That is some great info as usual, especially about midnight BO. Thanks Roger! {nm} slappydavid Mar 12, 10:14

Thanks. I'm planning to keep the table up to date as well. {nm} RogerMore Mar 12, 11:02

thanks...but I thought PINK2 needed no explanation :) {nm} tealfan Mar 12, 12:11

love me some PINK2 {nm} daveart Mar 12, 15:50

nb question, how much does a stock's price increase when I buy 100k long into it? dgg32 Mar 11, 10:29

There is a formula and its a secret. {nm} DTravel Mar 11, 15:11

Yes, but generally the higher the price the more it moves. Also trading volume can effect it, and buying in smaller increments moves it less {nm} JDolphin Mar 11, 16:56

When a fund crosses H$100, when does it delist? {nm} whitewalls Mar 10, 16:34

Hopefully on Monday! {nm} RogerMore Mar 10, 16:56

Just shy of 7 months, awesome work Roger! {nm} slappydavid Mar 10, 18:06

Great job Roger and thanks for all the fish. {nm} Buy BONDS 20 Mar 10, 22:26

Congrats Roger - thanks for the H$ {nm} srrichardson Mar 11, 02:05

Wait to make sure it stays at 100 till reset and then usually delists the next day (might wait till Mon or Tues if weekend or holiday) {nm} JDolphin Mar 10, 20:27

Well done RogerMore! Love that easy money, looking forward to the next IPO. {nm} tatoufan Mar 11, 03:17

Wow, you were around with NO shorting stocks, Scapey the Goat, mmike, HSX podcasts, etc!! There's still a few of us here! {nm} Flash Mar 11, 08:03

Not a milestone of any sorts, but you might find it interesting that your Horror Fund manager now has the 666th ranked port in HSX... :) slappydavid Mar 09, 13:07

Bummer, first "blockbuster" of 2013 and no much profit to be made for us HSXers... {nm} slappydavid Mar 08, 19:37

I might be wrong, but... Panda Mar 06, 04:50

Yes, you are correct. RogerMore Mar 06, 08:05

I very much enjoy reading your posts, RMore. Thanks for the confirmation. Panda Mar 07, 00:19

Anyone who doesn't know is a "dunce", wink, wink, nudge, nudge. {nm} elchan Mar 07, 06:52

RogerMore is bang on. It's all about daily return on investment(dROI). In fact 3 bonds will earn you > 10% return everyday ... elchan Mar 07, 06:46

elchan, fyi, starbonds don't adjust for the 1st movie in the tag... {nm} Oleg Max Mar 07, 07:44

Oopsie, thanks for catching that. Problem fixed. So only one bond is earning the 20% not 2. Sorry folks. {nm} elchan Mar 07, 07:57

Fat chance, seems I can't run two ports, and program a web site all at the same time. Who woulda thunk. ;-) elchan Mar 06, 21:58

I just made over $18 million in delists but I'm still in the red by 680,000 today. How is that possible? {nm} BuenaOnda Mar 04, 17:04

cuz the $18M is cash, its not all profit {nm} lapuckfan Mar 04, 17:35
