Somehow missed these winners: 2.5-3.5BIL and 3.5-4.5+Bil league winners (results inside) Jan 02, 03:00
The Delta brotherhood is grateful for the effort and skill of those who make HSX possible, and better. Thank you, Jan 01, 09:22
Baa baa! That's sheep for, "You are welcomed." {nm} Jan 01, 15:59
HSXSanity article idea... Dec 31, 14:17
Yeah, that's a good one, was wondering about that earlier today... {nm} Dec 31, 15:04
My guess would be that they delist at IPO price Jan 01, 20:19
please check the FAQ at the bottom of every HSX page for the answer {nm} Jan 02, 06:27
Thanks for heads up, I haven't checked that in a very long time. {nm} Jan 07, 22:41
Happy to announce that I have managed to reach $2M - $200M in 10 months of newbie trading and should end the year above. Dec 30, 10:40
congrats! {nm} Dec 30, 12:37
Nicely done. Best wishes for the New Year. {nm} Dec 30, 19:54
Congrats. What would you classify as newbie mistakes, and when do you graduate from newbie status? {nm} Dec 31, 09:57
Mostly neglecting to do things, and not understanding all the trading rules before diving in. For example ... Dec 31, 12:54
Also forgot a major item. Don't trade in stocks that are beyond the range of your portfolio size. {nm} Dec 31, 13:13
Mazel tov! :) {nm} Dec 31, 18:09
Derivatives question Dec 30, 08:19
Check the calendar... Call/Puts/OW are halted during the opening weekend and then are cashed out (usually on Mondays) Dec 30, 08:49
2 stock is arb in 2 week box office {nm} Dec 29, 06:01
Congrats up_up_and_away Reaching 1 Billion Hsx dollars {nm} Dec 28, 08:09
congrats! {nm} Dec 28, 08:33
up_up_and_away bought that port when it was at 1bill in August... then lost about 75mill cleaning the port out Dec 28, 11:57
My usual Whoo Hoo is replaced by Boo Boo! {nm} Dec 28, 22:15
Congrats. Keep it up {nm} Jan 05, 13:21
Blockbuster Warrant Question Dec 26, 13:57
A lot of people purchased at IPO and since it takes 12 weeks to delist they will invest their money Dec 26, 14:16
Ah, ok. Thanks for the explanation. {nm} Dec 26, 14:27
C'mon LATIN You can do it. Only quince away ! {nm} Dec 25, 09:31
What's the dROI formula to short a stock? Same as the regular one? {nm} Dec 24, 05:23
Yes. {nm} Dec 24, 10:32
'Tis a good weekend for one to stay in "shorts" ;-) {nm} 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 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} Dec 24, 07:28
If the shorts fit, wear 'em... {nm} Dec 24, 11:39
Just watch out for the Foo Birds. {nm} Dec 24, 15:15
you mean... Dec 24, 19:19
If next week's adjust makes you feel scared, lost and alone, there are two new columns on HSXsanity about Christmas openers. Dec 21, 10:01
10, 9, 8... {nm} Dec 21, 10:21
Writing this column was an odd way to spend our last few hours on Earth, but I regret nothing! {nm} Dec 21, 10:30
I was anticipating your stalker. When you post, it's like saying 'Candyman' 3 times in the mirror. {nm} Dec 23, 10:40
"I knew it was a joke, I just didn't get it right away!" {nm} Dec 24, 08:52
Anyone else notice the connection between today's IPOs and the date? Hee hee. {nm} Dec 21, 08:54
God Particle? Or The End? Or both!?!?!!? AAAAIIIIEEEEEEEEGGGGHHHHH!!!!! <poof!> {nm} Dec 21, 08:59
Not looking good for the Hobbit. Tuesday number is tracking lower then the first movie at $7.8M vs $11.5M. {nm} Dec 19, 13:40
Look a little closer. LOTR1's first Tuesday fell on Christmas Day, thus its outsize number compared to HOBIT. {nm} Dec 19, 15:05
Be sure to short it then. {nm} Dec 19, 18:44
Hmm, is that a "call to action"? ;-) {nm} Dec 19, 21:17
It's a call to put your money where you think it belongs. Smiley face doesn't erase the comment. {nm} Dec 19, 23:50
This is the most fickle I've seen the market all year.... Dec 19, 13:15
I see your port is hurting today. You must have had an unexpected journey. {nm} Dec 19, 13:52
Opening weekend securities cash out how if the movie opes on Xmas day? {nm} Dec 19, 08:59
From the security description: "Opening weekend is the first Friday to Sunday of wide release, unless otherwise defined." Dec 19, 09:48
seems like the opening "weekend" for the three christmas movies should be tues-sun. {nm} Dec 19, 10:18
That's almost a full week. OW, Call and Puts usually only consider fri-sun {nm} Dec 19, 10:34
Still not sure if OW is considered Tue-Sun or Fri-Sun...will make a huge difference to pricing. {nm} Dec 19, 11:14
Since the OW page does not say differently then it is Fri-Sun {nm} Dec 19, 12:54
did you check the calendar? {nm} Dec 20, 15:06
Free portfolio worth over 360 million to the first person who wants it. Dec 18, 23:17
I've been here a year and everyone is just too uptight. Good bye everyone. {nm} Dec 18, 23:18
I really don't get why people feel the need to give away their ports when they leave. Just abandon it or reset it... Dec 19, 07:01
Or is that me being too uptight? :) {nm} Dec 19, 07:13
Why would this bother you. If it is given away, it may stay an Active Port (Inactive if abandoned or reset). {nm} Dec 19, 18:17
Roto must be one of the uptight ones, since you didn't realize this post was a joke :) {nm} Dec 19, 20:24
A wise man once said "If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem." Dec 20, 13:43
First, one has to define and identify the problem. {nm} Dec 20, 15:20
Why can the market settle on a direction for Hobbit? Dec 18, 07:29
there are thousands of traders. you cant expect every single one to hold it the exact same way. Dec 18, 07:34
Yes, we can expect them to. :P {nm} Dec 18, 10:37
After a stock adjusts, market forces drive the prices...people buying selling / shorting covering... Dec 18, 08:02
Well, I'd say there's a third time when the price matters - when you buy/short it. :) {nm} Dec 18, 10:38
If you buy a stock the day before it opens, and I bought it 6 months ago... Dec 19, 07:58
OK, I'll grow a pair...thanks! {nm} Dec 18, 08:31
They don't just spontaneously pop up. You have to be born with them. {nm} Dec 19, 13:32
It's an unusual stock Dec 18, 08:55
is your hobbit stock taking an unexpected journey? {nm} Dec 18, 12:00
Leading to the Desolation of his Stock. {nm} Dec 18, 12:56
the stock price was there, but now its back again? {nm} Dec 18, 18:57
He couldn't handle the Sting. {nm} Dec 19, 11:35
Always have 2 options, play the player and play the adjust. Personally I am playing the adjust on this one... {nm} Dec 18, 21:10
Adjust formula for Xmas day openers? Dec 18, 01:58
Yes, that's it... {nm} Dec 18, 04:53
Thanks {nm} Dec 18, 15:28
