Absolutely amazing achievement, alfpaul! Congrats and mazel tov! {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Oct 16, 22:52

Wow! Woo Hoo! A big congrats and slap on the back!!! {nm} JDolphin Oct 17, 00:28

Bravo! {nm} tatoufan Oct 17, 01:29

Well done {nm} blaze223 Oct 17, 01:45

Well done. Any idea what made you the most money Stars, Movies, Derivs? {nm} Rednax Oct 18, 06:00

Wow...that's a LOT of babysitting your port...kudos to you for a great run!! {nm} Flash Oct 18, 07:50

Whoa . . . . {nm} JohnTEQP Oct 18, 18:12

Too bad we can't watch security prices change in real time - would be VERY interesting to watch all the queued up trades go thru. :D {nm} DTravel Oct 16, 12:52

Today's Movie Mogul matchup! Monster's Ball versus Monster! :D {nm} DTravel Oct 16, 09:27

I'M HIT!! I'm bleeding! D*mn those seven psycopaths. DTravel Oct 15, 16:30

IIRC, I flipped and go sinis right anyhow. waiting on dredd & master to cash out now. {nm} perply1 Oct 15, 16:58

There has been a lot of news the past few days. Is it normal for this tim of year? I eard that things really slowed down until november? {nm} tatoufan Oct 15, 15:24

With Award season on the horizen? Are you kidding???/ We are all abuzz wondering who will cop a Golden Globe.! {nm} BUY BONDS 19 Oct 15, 16:29

Ah, thanks BUY BONDS. The media blitz is nuts, I haven't traded this time of year before, it rocks. {nm} tatoufan Oct 15, 16:45

Can we buy Qty long and short on the exact same security? morgansbyers Oct 14, 20:40

Yes you can and no it isn't manipulation {nm} srrichardson Oct 15, 02:57

thank you i thought i was doing something wrong. morgansbyers Oct 15, 03:01

It's OK to do, but remember you have commission on BOTH trades + your port won't earn $ on them, since a long & short zero out each other! {nm} Flash Oct 15, 08:08

Is the point of the entire building up of my portfolio to get cool stuff? What cool stuff do we get? morgansbyers Oct 14, 20:06

It's all about the bragging rights! {nm} slappydavid Oct 14, 20:31

how do i know when to brag? morgansbyers Oct 14, 20:36

That's what the "milestone posts" are for. If you look in the Movies and Strategy Forums, you'll see a few of them. accountant_4_Jesus Oct 14, 23:32

In the olden days, HSX used to give out stuff when you traded in your H$ dollars...but that has gone the way of $1 gas! {nm} Flash Oct 15, 08:04

What's everyone's goal(s) for their port this year? How are you going with it so far? accountant_4_Jesus Oct 14, 19:19

I started my hsx journey this year,so i don't have big target.If possible i want to complete 100 million by year end. {nm} Hsxman Oct 14, 19:40

I just checked, and it looks like you reset your port? If so, you'd have to be a phenomenal day-trader to get to $100M before year-end. accountant_4_Jesus Oct 15, 23:28

Top 500 and/or $2B {nm} tealfan Oct 14, 19:52

Looks like you've still got a little ways to go, but if you average around $3M/day from now on, you can achieve $2B. accountant_4_Jesus Oct 15, 23:31

Eleven figures, $1.7B for the year ending Jan 15 and top 5 LTD. I'm well-positioned on the first two - we'll see about the third. RogerMore Oct 14, 20:13

Those are some pretty respectable goals there. I hope you achieve them all. :) accountant_4_Jesus Oct 15, 23:39

I got into the Top 100 LTD, and delisted the Original Idea Fund, so I'm good! {nm} JohnTEQP Oct 16, 08:28

My goal was to get 1B in my first full calendar year. I'm about 200M away, so it's still doable with a bit of luck... slappydavid Oct 14, 20:26

That's pretty cool, if you get $200M more you'd be just on the cusp of getting into the top 1000. I hope you achieve it. :) accountant_4_Jesus Oct 15, 23:43

To make $25 million a month which worked until july then i flatlined for the summer but i believe i can still blaze223 Oct 15, 01:40

So you'd double your port size in a year? That's great! :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Oct 15, 23:44

Made my goal already (Top 500 LTD), am now shooting for 2B LTD by year's end (47M to go!) {nm} BSmurf Oct 15, 07:45

That should be easy pickings for you then. Glad you've achieved your goals for this year. :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Oct 15, 23:45

Mine is to catch back up with you, and pass you... you blew by me months ago! :-) {nm} Flash Oct 15, 08:03

Would you like me to stop and wait a little while? :P I think it might be a while before you catch me lol. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Oct 15, 23:46

I have to have a goal now? I thought hockey was on strike! DTravel Oct 15, 09:28

No, that's only if you have to have a goalie. :P accountant_4_Jesus Oct 15, 23:47

I started the year with 33m. About July or so I had 66, I wanted 100M by Decenber. currently 105 perply1 Oct 15, 15:20

If you average $1.5M a day from now on you'd get past $200M, so just keep at it. :) accountant_4_Jesus Oct 15, 23:50

I hope to cross 400, but I hav a ways to go. {nm} tatoufan Oct 15, 16:47

If you can manage around $1.7M/day, then you should make it easily. Here's hoping you can. :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Oct 15, 23:51

Like Ty Webb, Deltas do not measure themselves by numbers (although we do have an accurate tally of how DTXbro Oct 16, 13:20

Keep telling yourself that, darling. :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Oct 17, 15:47

Rank is 630 goal is 590 - stuck so far {nm} laujer Oct 18, 06:51

Start shorting PVL Admin Oct 13, 12:15

The post below {nm} blaze223 Oct 13, 12:37

Sorry the train of thought i was having sounded good until i typed it and then was just confusing so i just think blaze223 Oct 13, 12:39

Not blaming a junior trader. Wondering what concensus is... {nm} PVL Admin Oct 13, 14:10

you are not a junior member...you know the rules. Too strict here most of time...this one got through....let it go. {nm} PaulBuxton2011 Oct 13, 14:42

Right, got you down as A. Thanks. {nm} PVL Admin Oct 13, 18:32

I didn't know we could buy and short other people's posts. How long before they delist? {nm} DTravel Oct 15, 10:46

It's a call to action, but I interpreted Flash's post as "he is meaning to post his opinion, and needs guidance on how to phrase it" {nm} RogerMore Oct 13, 14:40

I think the post could be interpreted as a "call to action" OR opinion..kind of a "gray area" post... Flash Oct 14, 07:41

Stop selling chavez2011 Oct 12, 11:49

Two things 1) the market may agree in time so get over it.2) people may not agree with you and so are shorting blaze223 Oct 12, 12:07

3) this post is definitely against the rules, as it is a blatant call to action {nm} lapuckfan Oct 12, 12:38

Personally....I think he's only posting an opinion, although he should give REASONS 'why' he thinks the movie will do so well.... {nm} Flash Oct 12, 14:53

Yeah, he should be posting stuff like PNAC3 had a $52M opening, fans aren't tired of the franchise yet, etc... {nm} RogerMore Oct 12, 15:06

if he didn't title the post "stop selling" and there was some supporting data, I think its fine too {nm} lapuckfan Oct 12, 15:08

Feel free to add some 9's even. {nm} elchan Oct 13, 08:50

I read it as an opinion... rich1948 Oct 15, 19:26

I've seen several predictions for under 50 so not everyone has the faith in that number that you do {nm} JDolphin Oct 12, 12:41

People need money first!!! {nm} mike255 Oct 12, 13:24

Whats with the WBROX fund ? No trading for a while. Hope the "manager" is well.. {nm} PaulBuxton2011 Oct 12, 10:42

WBROX last traded on 9/29/12 and the manager last traded in their main account on the same day {nm} RazorHawk Oct 12, 14:19

Thats why I ask...Could be on holiday, fund managers are alllowed them of course but to take on a fund 2 weeks before doing so is not PaulBuxton2011 Oct 13, 01:35

joining a league morgansbyers Oct 12, 06:28

It's helps you compare your performance against other similar sized ports, and you can swap tips and discuss ideas with other members RogerMore Oct 12, 06:44

so i have nothing to lose? morgansbyers Oct 12, 06:47

That's right. Start with RazorHawk's league - he's made a lot of money on HSX and put a lot of work into helping new players, so I assume RogerMore Oct 12, 07:47

I didn't really play until I joined a league. Comparing my port to others of the same value really got me into the game, try a PVL. {nm} tatoufan Oct 13, 22:38

I've posted some new columns on HSXsanity. This month, it's about ERC, the $250M limit for starbond TAGs and how to get along on the forums RogerMore Oct 10, 11:37

Great info! Every newbie would benefit from visiting HSXsanity! {nm} slappydavid Oct 10, 13:24

I think you should lift the limt 250 million cap. Let the free market decide. mike255 Oct 10, 13:43

Thank you! Very valuable information. Hsxman Oct 10, 23:47

What do you consider a good dROI? In your blog post you made references but you never gave a range {nm} websch01ar Oct 11, 05:29

50% is quite good ;-), but seriously....... srrichardson Oct 11, 05:49

Awesome thanks! I had evaluated my port and found a 1.1 but did not have a basis to adjust... websch01ar Oct 11, 05:53

^^ what he said. Any droi above 1% is good, but obviously whether you take it depends on how big your port is, what risks you are taking, RogerMore Oct 11, 09:56

I have joined a couple leagues and am refreshing news sources. You can never have too much information. Thx! {nm} websch01ar Oct 11, 10:01

I am content with anything above 3%. {nm} tatoufan Oct 12, 01:31

hopefully something like this catches on. that can reduce the bad posting and bracketeering and so on {nm} islander Oct 11, 06:09

That would require controlling human nature and some of us have realized the futility of THAT. :) {nm} DTravel Oct 11, 10:51

Knowledge is power! {nm} tealfan Oct 11, 18:28

Except in the show Revolution, where no one has either. :P {nm} DTravel Oct 12, 11:52

i am giving you the benefit of doubt that you mean both ways.. either long or short.. karspov Oct 11, 04:50

How long will symbol TAKE2.OW be halted? morgansbyers Oct 08, 11:20

The Market Calendar has that answer for you... slappydavid Oct 08, 11:49

So the bad news is that you had to wait about 4 1/2 hours to get the cash....the good news is that you did not have to pay commission. {nm} BUY BONDS 19 Oct 08, 11:52

I love the EURO thread...Do 2 Israeli StarBonds...OFEHR and AZURE....Here is the question... Buy BONDS 19 Oct 05, 11:36

Middle Eastern. {nm} Antibody Oct 05, 11:40

Don't forget Eurocup, but yes they are M.E. {nm} EuroFund Oct 05, 13:23

ME is not a continent. Does that mean we can have a ME fund? Btw, ME is not a continent. {nm} BUY BONDS 19 Oct 06, 11:05

Actually, neither is Europe. DTravel Oct 06, 12:47

or Afro-Eurasia in the 4 countinent mode. BUY BONDS 19 Oct 06, 14:04

Can I do an Antarctica fund? That would be fun... slappydavid Oct 06, 14:52

:P I think the Panama and Suez canals have split the continents. {nm} DTravel Oct 06, 21:19

Europe and Asia ARE both continents, according to my grade school teachers, and Wiki. {nm} elchan Oct 08, 09:36

Canada isn;t a continent either. {nm} Antibody Oct 08, 08:37

Unfortunately, Canada is part of North America along with those buggers, south of the border. {nm} elchan Oct 08, 09:41

The Itialians refer to Canada as Upper US. {nm} BUY BONDS 19 Oct 09, 20:59

Kaigee has updated his site - new Top 10,000 lists for the last month. {nm} DTravel Oct 04, 14:20

It is being readjusted now. {nm} EuroFund Oct 04, 13:03

MAKE ME MONEY!!!! :) {nm} DTravel Oct 04, 13:34

Today may be a bit of a bloodbath with the needed sell-off, but I will. Thanks for the confidence! {nm} EuroFund Oct 04, 14:32

We accept Euros too! :) {nm} slappydavid Oct 04, 14:53

minus the conversion charge naturally. {nm} EuroFund Oct 04, 16:08

I don't think PNOCH and IFRNK qualify. {nm} Antibody Oct 04, 18:21

AZURE is from Israel, DHOUN from Benin. {nm} Antibody Oct 04, 18:27

CRAMP is from England (does not qualify) {nm} AFRAM-The African American Fund Oct 04, 19:14

she's been dumped {nm} EuroFund Oct 05, 01:20

47RON; DESM2; CNFLT; HORNS; KILTS; SEXHL; SERNA - all do not qualify for the EURO Fund but are being held {nm} AFRAM-The African American Fund Oct 04, 19:53

Reply to DHOUN, 47RON; DESM2; CNFLT; HORNS; KILTS; SEXHL; SERNA and anything Frankenstien. EuroFund Oct 05, 01:00

By the way in addition to starring, Lenny Kravitz is also co-producing SEXHL and... EuroFund Oct 05, 01:17

Concerning DESM2 Main character Gru in the film is european. Hear the accent? That is probably why the previous manager had it in the fund. {nm} EuroFund Oct 05, 04:23

Check the fund description again - it invests in starbonds of Europeans, and the moviestocks they are attached to. RogerMore Oct 05, 07:24

Fair enough, I have sold Horns and Serena and will definitely request a starbond for Aja. The rest should be fine, but... EuroFund Oct 05, 07:29

No worries. You might want to take a look at TAKE2 and JB23, which are set in Istanbul, and CLATL, which was filmed in Germany. RogerMore Oct 05, 08:20

TAKE2, JB23 and CLATL are all fairly priced in. Buy low sell high, thats the Euro fund motto ;-) {nm} EuroFund Oct 05, 08:30

TAKE2 may be priced in right now, but I would check back again after 5 PST ;) {nm} RogerMore Oct 05, 08:59

good call on TAKE2. I didn't think it would do it {nm} tatoufan Oct 08, 02:04

SERNA does qualify for the fund should I choose to trade it. Director, Susanne Bier is Danish. {nm} EuroFund Oct 05, 02:39

DHOUN is French. If every African who moved to France kept their Nationality, there would be No Football team ;-). {nm} tatoufan Oct 05, 00:49

Hounsou became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2007. sold. Still French to me ;-) {nm} EuroFund Oct 05, 01:38

DHOUN lived his life as a French citizen for 30 years, he should qualify. {nm} EuroFund Oct 05, 03:33

del Toro, Frank tatoufan Oct 05, 00:28

Frankenstein and Pinnocchio do NOT qualify unless they are specifically set or filmed in Europe. IFRNK is sci-fi, PNOCH is fantasy Antibody Oct 05, 09:06

IFRNK, ok but, I don't own either now, and sold both at losses as to not upset the board.I won't trade PNOCH, but... EuroFund Oct 05, 09:46

I am not sure anymore but in the decription of Pinnochio by Tim Burton it says that the film is based on... EuroFund Oct 05, 09:51

It's not the origin of the story, but the setting of the location that matters. {nm} Antibody Oct 05, 10:21

Now can I trade it? According to the Guardian, it takes in Italy. Link Inside. EuroFund Oct 05, 09:57

Ok, that counts. {nm} Antibody Oct 05, 10:15

Thanks, because both Pinocchios are in Italia. {nm} EuroFund Oct 05, 13:01

PNOCH is Italian. How does it not quaify? {nm} EuroFund Oct 05, 01:23

Shorting is betting that a stock will drop. You profit if it loses value and lose money if it gains. PVL Admin Oct 03, 21:23

Sorry, that's in response to "ajhanson1 on Oct 03, 17:44" below. {nm} PVL Admin Oct 03, 21:55
