Question: N3ADDL is over $12.00 and yet it cashes out at $12.00 gregancible Jan 03, 09:37

yes, avoiding commisssion (so long as you don't need the $H). Sell at $12.01 and you come out behind waiting for delist at $12. {nm} daveart Jan 03, 09:40

Great, thank you for the help. Didn't realize commission was 1% w/a minimum of 2 cents {nm} gregancible Jan 03, 10:21

Classic Cash - December - YTD Port - Five (5) Wins (11-15-18-22-23) - Main Port - Five (5) Wins (04-10-13-22-30). {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Jan 02, 23:56

If not averaging four (4) Classic Cash Wins per month, try using a Random Number Generator (RNG). {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Jan 02, 23:57

I just click the same position banner every day with the assumption it will even out over the long run. {nm} stevie1der328 Jan 03, 07:06

You may have more Classic Cash hits in December than I've had all year. {nm} DTravel Jan 03, 14:40

I had 8 from mid Nov to mid Dec, about 3 times my normal rate and haven't had one since Dec 14. I thought it was a holiday present from HSX {nm} JDolphin Jan 03, 15:35

Anyone else managed a clean sweep of free H$? Rednax Jan 08, 01:50

Is there a way to check the hsx calendar beyond just the next wk or two? Thanks {nm} GMov Jan 02, 19:34

Anyone starting a 2013 YTD competition league? I would, but I already admin too many. {nm} PVL Admin Jan 02, 00:16

I'll volunteer if no one does. I just started my own elchanYTD2013 account to see if I can do better this time around. {nm} elchan Jan 02, 12:12

Ok, just created it. It's called "2013 YTD Competition" and the id is: elchan Jan 02, 12:18

HSXSanity article idea... RazorHawk Dec 31, 14:17

Yeah, that's a good one, was wondering about that earlier today... {nm} slappydavid Dec 31, 15:04

My guess would be that they delist at IPO price JohnTEQP Jan 01, 20:19

please check the FAQ at the bottom of every HSX page for the answer {nm} RazorHawk Jan 02, 06:27

Thanks for heads up, I haven't checked that in a very long time. {nm} JohnTEQP Jan 07, 22:41

Really funny, Tanker has not traded and is inactive since October, and he's matching me in gains today, one of my good days. {nm} elchan Dec 30, 11:54

Happy to announce that I have managed to reach $2M - $200M in 10 months of newbie trading and should end the year above. elchan Dec 30, 10:40

Congrats. What would you classify as newbie mistakes, and when do you graduate from newbie status? {nm} Quickslver99 Dec 31, 09:57

Mostly neglecting to do things, and not understanding all the trading rules before diving in. For example ... elchan Dec 31, 12:54

Also forgot a major item. Don't trade in stocks that are beyond the range of your portfolio size. {nm} elchan Dec 31, 13:13

Mazel tov! :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Dec 31, 18:09

Blockbuster Warrant Question ~JPV~ Dec 26, 13:57

A lot of people purchased at IPO and since it takes 12 weeks to delist they will invest their money Quickslver99 Dec 26, 14:16

Ah, ok. Thanks for the explanation. {nm} ~JPV~ Dec 26, 14:27

Another way to look at it....it is a pretty cheap buy in with, usually, a decent upside. Many players buy at IPO and just let it ride. BUY BONDS 19 Dec 27, 11:42

C'mon LATIN You can do it. Only quince away ! {nm} Buy BONDS 19 Dec 25, 09:31

OK>....Now it is official ...on the nose....Congratulations to Daveart and LATIN for successfully making it to 100 and delist.. BUY BONDS 19 Dec 26, 12:07

What's the dROI formula to short a stock? Same as the regular one? {nm} JustaGuy Dec 24, 05:23

Yes. {nm} DTravel Dec 24, 10:32

'Tis a good weekend for one to stay in "shorts" ;-) {nm} JustaGuy Dec 23, 08:45

Seems a lot of ports are being neglected for Christmas travel, and such. 2nd day in a row a lot of ports edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 23, 14:12

The problem with shorts is that you can get sunburn very easily. E.g.That short guy who's playing the tall man movie. {nm} elchan Dec 24, 07:28

If the shorts fit, wear 'em... {nm} JustaGuy Dec 24, 11:39

Just watch out for the Foo Birds. {nm} DTravel Dec 24, 15:15

you mean... jaymel Dec 24, 19:19

10, 9, 8... {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 21, 10:21

Writing this column was an odd way to spend our last few hours on Earth, but I regret nothing! {nm} RogerMore Dec 21, 10:30

I was anticipating your stalker. When you post, it's like saying 'Candyman' 3 times in the mirror. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 23, 10:40

"I knew it was a joke, I just didn't get it right away!" {nm} RogerMore Dec 24, 08:52
