Playing & Trading Strategy

Holy crap! Some of you guys are having a $10M day. How the heck did you do that? {nm} elchan Oct 02, 18:29

I bought a few IPO's this week. Up 2M. Not much but in the top 20k now. Also.. perply1 Oct 02, 20:29

Wow! From over $10M to $6M in the span of 2 hrs? {nm} elchan Oct 02, 21:10

HSX giveth, and HSX taketh away. {nm} BSmurf Oct 02, 21:11

Sounds like he missed the selloff point... {nm} slappydavid Oct 02, 21:43

All that action from what looks like 2 stocks. Talk about volatile. {nm} elchan Oct 03, 08:22

Congratulations to September Port Value League winners! (results inside) PVL Admin Oct 02, 11:07

Anyone ever use the TMDB API? websch01ar Oct 02, 05:47

I made the top 100 for September, stoked! {nm} tatoufan Oct 02, 00:34

wtg! {nm} tealfan Oct 02, 08:32

Your on a roll, dude. {nm} elchan Oct 02, 10:28

Thanks guys, I just got some good news about fund management. I may be taking over the... {nm} tatoufan Oct 02, 17:59

...The European Fund? {nm} RazorHawk Oct 02, 19:36

You got it RazorHawk {nm} tatoufan Oct 03, 02:05

Nice! Good luck with it! {nm} slappydavid Oct 03, 07:24

Thanks a lot, I am ready to turn that thing around (fingers crossed). {nm} tatoufan Oct 03, 08:56

Farewell my Queen (FWMYQ) bobcatshlks Oct 01, 16:45

that's how much it reported to ERC - official source for HSX. check stock pages for box office {nm} islander Oct 01, 16:56

Top gaining funds for September 2012. Congrats to [AARP] at #1 islander Oct 01, 16:19

Question for AARP fund islander Oct 01, 16:21

Both directors are over the age of 50 {nm} AARPfund Oct 01, 16:36

thnx {nm} islander Oct 01, 16:40

Your fund mention .. "StarBonds who have passed their 50th birthday and the MovieStocks in which they star in" .. not directors {nm} karspov Oct 02, 07:09

A Director's security is a StarBond. {nm} DTravel Oct 02, 11:39

And means they need to satisfy both categories.. I didn't say directors are not star bonds .. Directors did not star in movies .. karspov Oct 02, 16:46

Maybe he thought Michael Sheen was Martin Sheen...and CHANS looks 50+... {nm} PVL Admin Oct 01, 16:37

Kaigee When is the next update? It is almost one month {nm} mike255 Oct 01, 12:38

Ditto {nm} AdherentMeme Oct 01, 14:46

Limited Release Formula? What is it? websch01ar Oct 01, 04:56

limited releases that stay limited do not adjust. they cash out after the 12th wk based on box office {nm} islander Oct 01, 05:38

Right, but is there a tried and true prediction formula?** {nm} websch01ar Oct 01, 05:39

No, because release/expansion patterns vary... slappydavid Oct 01, 05:58

Most movies that open in limited release make very little money overall. If you chose, you could keep these short to maximize PVL Admin Oct 01, 06:31

I don't see an advantage in holding them short, long-term. The initial profit is from people pumping up the price before release, and then elchan Oct 01, 07:42

Short answer....with only 4M to work with, stay away. But...if you had more capital, let's use a concrete example. mrbinns Oct 01, 10:08

dynamics of movie funds/ mcphisto Sep 30, 07:28

Movie funds are ran pretty much like any portfolio, with the exception that you have rules as to which securities you can hold... slappydavid Sep 30, 07:46

the basics i pretty much understand what i was looking for was the specifics. mcphisto Sep 30, 07:55

Normal funds start with $20 million dollars (and are priced at $20), studio funds start with $10 million (and are priced at $10). CaineFund Sep 30, 08:26

Trying to answer a few of your questions srrichardson Oct 01, 01:16

ok thanks so here is my thought... mcphisto Oct 01, 19:33

You should check out the funds page at The HSX Dude, which has lots of info about requesting funds, etc RogerMore Oct 01, 21:49

Good luck with that, but I doubt Antibody will go for it srrichardson Oct 02, 06:52

You know what we need? A fund that just plays OWs, calls and puts {nm} RogerMore Oct 02, 13:43

that'd be fun! {nm} perply1 Oct 02, 20:42

Or resurrect the ADJUS fund, but with the added restiction of not trading movie stocks after the Options have halted {nm} srrichardson Oct 04, 03:36

can you be more specific? Generally, funds are managed by one player who is trusted by HSX & the fund manager must trade within the scope LatinoFund Sep 30, 07:47

how will picth perfect work on trdae 4 weeks or 12 weeks or 5 weeks? {nm} d1spence Sep 29, 16:00

If I understand things correctly, it should delist 4 weeks, from when it opens wide. elchan Sep 29, 16:29

in fact, it already says so on the Calendar :) tealfan Sep 29, 18:41

oops!...brain cramp...you were asking about delist not adjust {nm} tealfan Sep 29, 18:42

Congrats to RattyBatty for cracking the Top 100 LTD board! {nm} Paul2k Sep 28, 06:42

wowzers...congrats! {nm} tealfan Sep 28, 08:21

Thanks! I was hoping to do that this year. Gonna try to get my port to 5 billion before 2013 now. {nm} RattyBatty Sep 28, 11:44

congrats! kind of an easy goal there for you, no? go for 6B by 2013 end... {nm} Oleg Max Sep 28, 12:16

Way to go there {nm} blaze223 Sep 28, 12:11

Props/much respect to one of the best players on HSX {nm} alfpaulytd2012 Sep 28, 12:16

Whoo Hoo! {nm} elchan Sep 28, 14:08

Congratulations! {nm} RogerMore Sep 28, 14:13

Schwing! {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Sep 28, 16:26

WTG! {nm} Grishnak Sep 28, 19:47

Congrats! Hsxman Sep 29, 01:23

I will prepare to be passed in short order (and I'm 12!) - congratulations, pretty soon you'll be in Fembot territory {nm} daveart Sep 30, 07:50

Well no WONDER I dropped a point! Congrats! {nm} JohnTEQP Oct 05, 17:12

Is it ok to have more than one account? If it was in the TOS I missed it. {nm} Grishnak Sep 27, 10:16

no, "terms of use" does not permit this lapuckfan Sep 27, 10:54

Yes, there are a number of us that have YTD Ports along with the Main Port. See Inside. RotoHockeyYTD2012 Sep 27, 11:48

Same Day Transaction? So no Day trading with the 2 accounts but otherwise ok? clanmcgoon Sep 28, 11:08

It all depends on what you intend to do with it. There was already someone in the summer using multiple accounts to manipulate stock prices elchan Sep 27, 18:09

Thanks everyone. Grishnak Sep 27, 22:25

You can reset your account back to 2 million and no holdings - click Account Settings at top of page then look new bottom right of Acct Page {nm} JDolphin Sep 27, 23:04

I am not volunteeering but out of interest how far does a fund have to fall before the manager gets replaced {nm} blaze223 Sep 26, 01:30

I think it is based on whether the fund has been abandoned (last trade) rather than performance {nm} srrichardson Sep 26, 04:58

You mean 'Non-Performance'. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Sep 26, 08:09

I keep looking at the fund I managed last year and being frustrated at what its holding...I need to stop looking {nm} MisterTony Sep 27, 09:38

Did you have the Sony fund? {nm} DTXbro Sep 27, 09:43

Yeah, tough to give it up and not check it out of curiosity. {nm} stevie1der328 Sep 27, 17:23

Yeah, it's falling like a rock. I should have asked to manage it! {nm} UNIVXFund Sep 28, 20:21

nope...i ran WBROX. honestly, there is no reason that fund shouldn't be in the green right now. {nm} MisterTony Oct 01, 13:21

good job with your Hardest Working fun Roger More tatoufan Sep 25, 17:06

Thanks! - but as for best-performing, you might want to look at islander's "best performing funds" report, which should come out next week {nm} Roger More Sep 26, 12:34

KaiGee you traded 123 million shares today? talk about being happy HSX is back up and running. :) {nm} Oleg Max Sep 25, 08:29

I hope he update Kaigee Starbond adjust {nm} mike255 Sep 25, 08:59

Kaigee when is it next update {nm} mike255 Sep 24, 05:46

this week, I've been out of the country and my pc power supply died {nm} KaiGee Sep 24, 17:59

Oh, that old excuse... ;) {nm} PVL Admin Sep 24, 18:24

can't wait. it's been sooo long since the last update. :) {nm} Oleg Max Sep 24, 18:47

Don't bother. With the timeouts, your update will never complete. {nm} elchan Sep 24, 20:22

and the wide smiles start . . . yeah Kaigee {nm} daveart Sep 25, 09:27

FYI, HSXMetrics has stopped updating. Is this intentional, or a problem with the web site? elchan Sep 23, 19:11

it was a scheduled down time here for the weekend. It's back up and running. {nm} HSXMetrics.com Sep 24, 05:07

Thanks! I see it's updating again today. {nm} elchan Sep 24, 07:49

1.36 Billion and losing interest in HSX but dont want to, Please Help! {nm} dremmah Sep 22, 14:14

Nothing wrong with losing interest in the game...play when you want to play. I took a break for about 5 months and just came back in August JordenS Sep 22, 14:42

You could clean up your port, try other strategies, be more active in the message boards, join new leagues... slappydavid Sep 22, 15:19

with your success at HSX, you should apply to run a fund RazorHawk Sep 23, 07:57

Think about resetting your port...see if the strategies you've learned can build a 2nd one faster & better! {nm} Flash Sep 23, 09:09

Put on your jousting equipment - then post a bunch of IPO IDEAS. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Sep 23, 15:16

bahahahahaha {nm} HSXMetrics.com Sep 23, 16:04

You guys must be selling your stocks cause I've lost like $45 million since August. {nm} AgentEvil Sep 22, 06:27

same boat dude. thought i'd change my style this week and im still staring at red. losing interest now {nm} swordfish1 Sep 22, 12:34

same boat dude. thought i'd change my style this week and im still staring at red. losing interest now {nm} swordfish1 Sep 22, 12:34

Yeah. It's the biggest drop ever. Did we hit a bubble? {nm} TrickKickaha Sep 27, 08:37

Anyone have a theory regarding ideal profit percentage on movie stocks? forlorne Sep 21, 08:47

Are these movies coming out soon? 6 months? 1 year? It's hard to know based on how soon it releases, stars & news attached, etc.. {nm} Flash Sep 21, 09:16

i meant # at top for entire portfolio, currently 580 movie stocks {nm} forlorne Sep 21, 11:06

i meant # at top for entire portfolio, currently 580 movie stocks {nm} forlorne Sep 21, 11:06

Minimum 1,000%. Ideally. :D {nm} DTravel Sep 21, 15:25

depends on the stock, but always focus on what the movie can potentially make at B.O. Oleg Max Sep 22, 19:01
