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

check out a certain Spidey alum if you want a better dROI {nm} lapuckfan Mar 06, 10:30

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

I was going to have a pity party about how awful March has been for my port but i got over it because............. blaze223 Mar 05, 00:32

Hmm, the sun wasn't scheduled to come out until tomorrow. DTravel Mar 05, 12:59

New release date. {nm} tatoufan Mar 05, 13:13

it's going wide {nm} tealfan Mar 05, 15:06

So it will delist on 4/1? {nm} DTravel Mar 05, 16:22

That will be the biggest joke ever {nm} JDolphin Mar 06, 00:33

YTD 2013 Competition - Q1 Report (Top 10) {nm} elchan Mar 04, 22:44

Here they are ... elchan Mar 04, 22:46

Thanks for the update - looking forward to your Top Five (5) Finish. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 05, 12:48

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

Congratulations to February's Port Value League winners! (results inside) PVL Admin Mar 03, 19:34

Remember to join the next level if you have been "graduated" out of the one you were playing. {nm} PVL Admin Mar 03, 19:35

Noice! Thanks Rocket123. {nm} tatoufan Mar 05, 01:23

Some my penny stock are gone on Monday. {nm} mike255 Mar 02, 13:30

Good News - your (ROBSP) has been Rebooted, Resuscitated, Regurgitated, Re-Energized & Re-Defibrillatored. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Mar 03, 15:19

Wow Wee! {nm} elchan Mar 05, 08:34

A mostly ridiculous question about commission Mym Mar 01, 20:11

You pay commission every day now. Welcome back! {nm} slappydavid Mar 01, 20:19

Good to know. Thank you. {nm} Mym Mar 01, 20:45

Comission Free Saturdays were technology based. RazorHawk Mar 02, 06:45

I'm not so sure. Why then was Sunday originally changed to comm. free? {nm} ndmaster Mar 04, 07:31

You are not so sure about what? RazorHawk Mar 04, 13:13

Oops, my bad. {nm} ndmaster Mar 04, 15:18

Question on large ports: are you even able to invest all of your $H? nanomurf Mar 01, 11:46

I'm a little over 7 billion, with 2.8 billion just sitting as cash. When I was at 1.5 bill, I had to keep reshorting to free up money. {nm} Paul2k Mar 01, 12:27

Strategy needs to be adjusted as your port grows. I have a 1.67B port and usually keep 200M cash... {nm} slappydavid Mar 01, 12:45

I have a 6.5 bill port with 2.1 bill cash {nm} RazorHawk Mar 01, 14:40

Every stock is worth a position, so, getting fully invested shouldn't be that hard. with H$83M. edzep - Port Monkey! Mar 01, 12:56

Yep. There are plenty of opportunities to park money medium-term like starbonds and summer releases (still some good bargains there IMO) {nm} RogerMore Mar 01, 20:16

I have almost $400mil in cash. I should buy more bonds. {nm} ndmaster Mar 04, 07:32

Initial investments for the Sci-Fi Fund have been made, so it should be at it's lowest price now {nm} srrichardson Mar 01, 01:23

Good luck with the fund! {nm} tatoufan Mar 01, 01:33

Good Luck and Godspeed! {nm} Panda Mar 01, 03:29

May the Farce....and prosper {nm} Buy BONDS 20 Mar 01, 06:41

Best of luck! {nm} slappydavid Mar 01, 08:54

looking good! {nm} daveart Mar 02, 07:45

It's clear that I'll never move much above or below my current ranking - too many stubborn traders like me and too many hungry wolves. {nm} BuenaOnda Feb 27, 16:19

nah, I'm just ahead of you. ndmaster Feb 27, 20:49

Don't lose heart....I see dead ports {nm} Buy BONDS 20 Mar 01, 06:42

Is that like a HSiXth sense? {nm} DTXbro Mar 02, 09:28

I can tell you my strategy in a few sentences JohnTEQP Feb 27, 19:36

Hi JohnTEQP, thanks for your summary. This does help. If you'd be interested in doing a 30 minute interview via IM or Skype I may have a few renapple Feb 28, 16:53

And, of course, I swear by The HSX Dude's PABS {nm} JohnTEQP Feb 27, 19:37

Ah, sorry, I'm not familiar with the term, what's PABS? {nm} renapple Feb 28, 16:54

Post Adjust Bond Show, you will see it linked on Tuesdays no the Starbond board {nm} lapuckfan Feb 28, 17:14

Okay got it, I'll see if I can find it there this week. Thanks {nm} renapple Mar 02, 11:56

I don't have IM or Skype, but the key things for me are... RogerMore Mar 01, 10:57

Hi Roger, thanks for feedback, it is helpful. I'm trying to get a better understanding of the community dynamics along side the trading renapple Mar 02, 11:55

Posting Etiquette: a guide from a newcomers perspective. Smartlink Feb 26, 14:03

Good post, you're certainly getting a hang of it... {nm} slappydavid Feb 26, 15:05

Thanks slappy, I forgot to mention. Since there is no edit button, check you post for typo's, I obviously did not do that lol... ;-) {nm} Smartlink Feb 26, 15:24

Coming along nicely. Thank you for your contributions. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Feb 26, 16:02

Great post - you've learned alot. I would add - you can always add a tag later, but if you tag in error your whole post may be removed {nm} JDolphin Feb 27, 01:56

I've asked this before, but it was a while ago. Where are the best sources for figuring out an indy film's release schedule/plan? {nm} ChoiceFund Feb 26, 07:50

The official site for the film. Even the distributor may not know if expansiojn is worth while until the film opens. {nm} Antibody Feb 26, 10:31

Thanks, trying to do a little fact finding on The Place Beyond the Pines. {nm} ChoiceFund Feb 27, 10:04

Arbitrage Rohit Feb 25, 20:34

Sorry the prices have moved since I wrote this and forgot to paste it {nm} Rohit Feb 25, 20:41

There still is an arbitrage opportunity though {nm} Rohit Feb 25, 20:42

It is not arbitrage since its box office is 0 at the moment. Prices ore often higher/lower than expected the gross before a release. tatoufan Feb 26, 03:37

Yes. Arbitrage on HSX is only about comparing HSX prices to real world reported box office. The moviestock price being out of sync with RogerMore Feb 26, 07:56

This is Arbitrage in the real world sense. You can play the MovieStock and its OW derivative against each other for very small gains. {nm} Antibody Feb 26, 10:34

OK, I've put together a model in Excel, and your math is correct, in that you'll make a guaranteed gain if you hold the moviestocks in those RogerMore Feb 26, 11:39

Thanks for the responses everyone {nm} Rohit Feb 27, 09:41

Slappy pointed out to me below i had an 18 mil day last week, and i can't figure out why....could a bunch of small forlorne Feb 25, 14:43

It's just that I remember there weren't any huge movers that day, so it struck me as a bit weird... slappydavid Feb 25, 16:23

It almost had to be a glitch if there weren't any huge movers. My net worth history shows a definite spike that day. {nm} forlorne Feb 26, 06:31

Delist for dead stocks Scrivener72 Feb 25, 13:53

The general rule is that if there has been no news for three years, the moviestock is eligible for delist. RogerMore Feb 25, 14:23

Thanks! (nm) Scrivener72 Feb 25, 16:01

When Will Oscar Winners Cash Out? MitchC Feb 25, 10:30

The calendar is your friend. RogerMore Feb 25, 10:42

(FYI - looks like they are cashing out now) {nm} RogerMore Feb 25, 11:20

The Academy Awards Fund congratulates all the Oscar winners and welcomes AHATH and JLAWR to the fund! {nm} AwardsFund Feb 25, 03:57

Did you have a good night? {nm} JohnTEQP Feb 25, 22:41

Did OK. Around half a million on the plus side. CWALT's win really hurt my profits, though! {nm} AwardsFund Feb 26, 04:48

Shorting everything? Jason07 Feb 22, 07:10

The gains from doing that are predictable, but small. The potential gains if you get your picks right are much greater. RogerMore Feb 22, 08:13

I believe HSX collective wisdom is almost always right, so, siding with the crowd may be a safe money maker. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Feb 22, 11:04

But, hold a few of your own favs and/or long shots, to keep it interesing. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Feb 22, 11:05

I tried an anti-ARGO strategy...Short ARGO, long the others. There could always be a surprise win...Similar for DDAYL.. BUY BONDS 20 Coming Soon Feb 24, 16:57

So glad I reversed my Ang Lee short. {nm} JohnTEQP Feb 24, 21:41

Penny strike again yesterday!!!!! You got love it guys!!! mike255 Feb 22, 02:19
