THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
Finally hit the 99th percentile... {nm} Aug 29, 02:06
Well done! Just made it there myself a few weeks ago! {nm} Aug 29, 06:10
thats great! {nm} Aug 29, 08:55
Whoo Hoo! {nm} Aug 29, 09:14
Well Done! Way To Go. {nm} Aug 29, 10:56
good work there {nm} Aug 29, 11:50
Congratulations! That's my next goal too, and it's not easy! (nm) Sep 02, 22:08
And, since it's really a futures market rather than a genuine stock market, there {nm} Aug 28, 22:07
there's always an underlying value that you can expect to recoup. {nm} Aug 28, 22:08
Flash, I was there for that one. this current one feels different tho. ive just had no time to breath and gain a foothold {nm} Aug 29, 06:42
I'm losing $ like you, and many others..this seems to be a bit more 'consistent' with losses, rather than sudden...but Aug 29, 07:07
+1 They're only hurting themselves by not recognizing the actual cost of commissions on those big IPOs {nm} Aug 29, 08:40
Hmm, bought at $180 sold at $197, made $1.7M, commission cost=$180K+197K, net $1.32M. Seems pretty clear to me. ;-) {nm} Aug 29, 09:20
I forgot something else... Aug 29, 10:43
Sloppy it only games and it is not serious and have fun {nm} Aug 29, 15:32
Fuck off! Please stop calling me sloppy, and stop saying the same thing over and over and over... Aug 29, 15:42
Ha! The bad word went through... Apologies to everyone else... :) {nm} Aug 29, 15:53
Fuck me! Did this one get through too? ;-) {nm} Aug 29, 16:07
Man, we're going to get banned. {nm} Aug 29, 16:08
But, it's the swings that make the game interesting. ;-) Aug 29, 11:04
No one likes red days anyway... I'll only allow myself to have at most 1 per month! :P {nm} Aug 29, 11:34
Sloppy it is only games and have fun. I care less if I lost million per day Aug 29, 15:33
What a troll... {nm} Aug 29, 15:45
you are troll {nm} Aug 29, 18:51
yeah sloppy, he could care less about money.....that's why he's advocating more free money on the feedback board Aug 29, 15:46
What stocks did people loose the most H$ on, during the bloodbath? Aug 27, 21:49
most smaller ports had to dump their huge stocks to free up money for the recent big IPO... Aug 27, 22:16
Some huge ports, like A4J, Tanker and eallensbp still haven't rebounded. But,if HGAM4 get to the level I think, should be ok. Aug 27, 22:26
Woops, spoke too soon. {nm} Aug 28, 06:27
wow, 2 mill lost. im certainly on a losing streak here lol {nm} Aug 28, 08:40
The players are being played. ;-) {nm} Aug 28, 10:58
Maybe its time to start playing the players who are playing the players. Aug 29, 16:24
How do players deal with an IPO bloodbath day, like today? Aug 25, 19:00
I play "long strategy" so I just ride it out. "This too, shall pass." {nm} Aug 25, 19:13
Just curious, where does the new money come from to make up for all these loses? Aug 25, 21:51
HSX is a pretty inflationary economy. Adjusts add big money. As does every new port. {nm} Aug 25, 21:57
DMac has the secret H$ printing press running 24/7 :D Aug 26, 10:34
it just drains me pretty much and I loose interest. ive lost so much over the month seriously thinking about quitting now {nm} Aug 26, 15:13
Repeat after me: "It's ONLY play money...it's ONLY play money!" THAT should help! :-) {nm} Aug 27, 08:03
it just drains me pretty much and I loose interest. ive lost so much over the month seriously thinking about quitting now {nm} Aug 26, 15:13
it just drains me pretty much and I loose interest. ive lost so much over the month seriously thinking about quitting now {nm} Aug 26, 15:14
swordfish u need take vacation from hsx {nm} Aug 27, 06:03
it just drains me pretty much and I loose interest. ive lost so much over the month seriously thinking about quitting now {nm} Aug 26, 15:14
'Lose', perhaps. Please advise when you want the ROTO to take over the Port. {nm} Aug 26, 17:39
its a god damn bloodbath yet again. so fed up with this game now {nm} Aug 25, 14:14
Me too... nothing been right!! {nm} Aug 26, 02:31
its like ive totally lost the plot. everything at minute is bad juju lol. {nm} Aug 26, 10:32
Are you using a good spreadsheet to track stuff? I can imagine loosing track with investing in so many securities. {nm} Aug 26, 18:31
Are you Ready Stock Sell out Tomorrow due Hunger Game 3 Part 2 Ipo price {nm} Aug 24, 16:01
already bought the tampax! haha {nm} Aug 24, 16:43
you actually mean you will be trading the red in your port for the red of your skin (beach for the rest of the weekend?) {nm} Aug 25, 11:22
That sounds awesome {nm} Aug 25, 14:04
Slow bleeder works just needs a little patience i have some pretty good gains from some of them {nm} Aug 24, 12:15
it does work for sure and yes, patience is needed. i have a couple right now and they're already starting to pay out. {nm} Aug 24, 12:21
Thank you for your post. ...and you are welcome. {nm} Aug 25, 23:35
New league for trading Penny Stocks. Join now! Aug 22, 21:31
Oops, I guess inline html is not parsed. Aug 22, 21:32
This is a bad idea. You should only trade using one account. {nm} Aug 23, 14:19
I thought HSX allowed more than 1 port, as long as you traded differently, not manipping prices?? No?? {nm} Aug 23, 17:30
Here's a link to the league... Aug 23, 05:45
If you start a second penny account, you should probably not trade penny stocks in your main account to avoid any chance Aug 23, 14:24
Good idea, we don't want people manipulating the penny stock for their normal account. I'll add that to the rules. {nm} Aug 23, 15:40
Problems. Aug 23, 17:11
Migrate over slowly, maybe. They're probably more making you a fortune, but being in a league can augment the fun. {nm} Aug 23, 17:13
"more" ="not" {nm} Aug 23, 17:31
Be careful. A league where everyone buys and holds the same stocks could be taken as coordinated trading. {nm} Aug 23, 14:13
Well, we are talking about over 1/3 or the market, with each player limited to some subset of that. {nm} Aug 23, 14:15
Yep, I think 100 stock limit per port, would prevent any kind of monoply or coordinated stock movement {nm} Aug 23, 15:43
what happen a player didn't join your league? It can effect hsx market Aug 24, 16:10
Har, my WOREM holding is up 157,000%. Definitely a new record for my penny plays. {nm} Aug 21, 15:27
I bought in at .07, but played the stock. So I don't have a nifty % gain, but i do have the moolah :) {nm} Aug 22, 00:05
Love to get free virtually free H$. What made you to buy and hold this one? Aug 22, 08:50
Money to spare. I buy and hold EVERY C,D,P,W stock of 10 cents or less. Aug 22, 10:43
Too bad, I don't have that 'problem'. ;-) {nm} Aug 22, 16:52
Oh, here's a better update. More numbers, and profit. Aug 22, 19:23
You know this sounds like fun. I'm thinking of starting a league for playing just penny stocks. Aug 22, 20:41
Interesting... Aug 22, 21:38
Check out the league, 'Penny Pinchers'. I just added it. Aug 22, 21:47
Jdolphin I am trying sell it 20 cent per share. So I can make a little profit Aug 23, 14:54
Nice Strategy.I Too Bought Some Penny Stocks,But None Of Them Moved Up Yet. Aug 22, 15:46
Robotech was .50 May 7th of this year before first big run now over $10.00 (with no news) {nm} Aug 22, 20:59
Yeah, it did have "news".....Antibody posted MEW listings for Robotech and Voltron on May 8 Aug 22, 21:21
That was cool. {nm} Aug 22, 22:33
You think I am crazy buying 1 cent stock now who have last laugh Aug 23, 08:15
No, we said you were crazy for selling them at 10-20 cents - this is a long term hit it big strategy {nm} Aug 23, 13:03
Distributor grosses for next 3 years. Hope it shows up better pasting as text. Aug 21, 07:41
Oops, Indomina should $83.53 gross be had the wrong link in excel. Here's the corrected table: Aug 21, 07:47
I don't get it... {nm} Aug 21, 07:51
So basically Weinstein ends up on top in the next 3 years, but they are very back loaded to 2014. (HOBT3, SPID5) Aug 21, 07:53
You might be better just looking at which studio has more blockbusters during the next year... {nm} Aug 21, 07:56
Studio funds run from september to september. Don't overanalize it... :) {nm} Aug 21, 08:24
Well, don't know if it's a GOOD indication, but it is an indicator. I think it's a good relative measure. Aug 21, 08:06
You need fast movers! Aug 21, 08:22
I do not understand anything that is in this thread... Aug 21, 08:11
Work in progress. ;-) {nm} Aug 21, 08:20
I see Up-up- and away is having another trading frenzy,if you want lose money why not just give me the $5mill Aug 20, 12:50
Because that's not nearly as fun!!! I really do have a strategy...and a goal...and a plan!! {nm} Aug 21, 05:02
First portfolio to LOSE $1 Billion? This is not meant as a slam - I'd be impressed if intentionally did it! :) {nm} Aug 21, 07:30
What are they? (serious question, not a criticism) {nm} Aug 21, 09:14
Patience young grasshopper. {nm} Aug 21, 10:02
wow, now he needs to quit all of the billionaire leagues he is in {nm} Aug 21, 08:46
Why? You need to be a billionaire to join. Do you have to be a billionaire to remain a member? {nm} Aug 21, 09:17
Yeah, I know. They may decide to kick me out, but I'm not quitting. {nm} Aug 21, 12:50
and I was kidding (sort of) above; when will you announce your goal/plan ? {nm} Aug 21, 17:40
I really wasn't planning on making an announcement. I'm starting to feel like I am running for President. Aug 22, 05:15
If you're talking about general strategy rather than specific stocks, you'll be okay. Aug 22, 13:24
Congratulations! ($3M, $100M and $1B are the only real $ milestones IMO) Aug 19, 20:54
$-100M is a rather significant Milestone, IMHO. Very few have accomplished that. Harder than one thinks. {nm} Aug 20, 05:44
-$100M. Hmmm... might be a fun counter-intuitive game to try. ;-) {nm} Aug 21, 07:15
That's a good rule. {nm} Aug 20, 19:14
Well done! {nm} Aug 19, 21:04
Very Well Done.I Hope You Will Cross More Milestones. :) Aug 19, 21:28
pretty number!...congrats! {nm} Aug 19, 22:48
Very nice trading, fwiw I think you would do a great job managing a studio fund this fall, if you were interested. {nm} Aug 20, 04:53
What studios are left? Can I still choose my own? {nm} Aug 20, 05:58
Here's a link that might help you... Aug 20, 06:04
Agreed! The new batch should come up in a month or so, it's a great time to apply... {nm} Aug 20, 05:58
Thanks for the tip, I'll do some number crunching and see if I can pick a promising studio for the year. {nm} Aug 20, 07:43
DISNX performance is VERY disappointing, I'm no one to criticize others' playing style, but with so many big movies Aug 21, 06:59
I crunched some number in Excel using the distributor information and got the following. Hope it paste ok. {nm} Aug 21, 07:37
Mazel tov! :) {nm} Aug 20, 07:53
Mazel tov! :) {nm} Aug 20, 07:53
Congrats! {nm} Aug 20, 19:13
Kicking myself yet again - should have stayed in the SPRKL short, dropped $H6 from Friday. Need to grow a pair... {nm} Aug 19, 15:02
Next time, maybe! :-) {nm} Dec 09, 17:10
here's a really basic question Aug 19, 08:30
Buys and covers make a security go up, sells and shorts make it go down... {nm} Aug 19, 09:00
But ... Aug 19, 10:54
Yes, securities are adjusted based on domestic box office performance. You should check out the Help Topics and Glossary links Aug 19, 11:13
Depends on what movie they are dropping off. A star's TAG is based on the last 5 delisted movies {nm} Aug 19, 13:19
Charlize Theron Aug 19, 07:20
..Not sure what 'work' you're referring to... she has a star bond, movies listed, etc...??? {nm} Aug 19, 07:42
Maybe he means the AFRAM fund? {nm} Aug 19, 09:59
Sorry;...African-American does not necessarily equal black....That may be true for a lot of folks but not always. Aug 19, 17:10
Yes, in the real world. But the whole "African-American" label only exists to be a politically correct way of saying "Black". Aug 19, 19:46
Chalize Theron a mixed race performer......solid info as usual {nm} Aug 20, 08:11
CTHER is not African-American. Born in South Africe to Fench and German parents. {nm} Aug 19, 11:49
Make that 'South Africa'. {nm} Aug 19, 11:50
She's from the continent of Africa, and became an American citizen in 2007. Doesn't that make her African-American? {nm} Aug 19, 12:32
Being born in Japan does not make you Japanese. {nm} Aug 19, 13:39
Being a good athlete could make you Japanese. {nm} Aug 19, 21:03
when does trading on a stock close? how come this weekends releases are still trading? thanks. {nm} Aug 18, 14:48
Click on News & Events - Click on Market Calendar - Scroll down to Saturday, August 18 to see Halt Times. {nm} Aug 18, 15:04
Opening Weekend Halt Times - Saturday 6 PM PST. {nm} Aug 18, 15:05
did it used to be fridays? sorry havent really played much in a few years. {nm} Aug 18, 15:40
I'm sure HSX is happy with all that saturday traffic... {nm} Aug 18, 18:58
Even that late it's not a sure thing. Look at what happened to BORN4 last week. {nm} Aug 18, 19:04
i think we lose all the fun this way, but ok. {nm} Aug 18, 19:54
you're not alone in that sentiment, lots of discussion when it first changed {nm} Aug 18, 21:40
you get "information" from the day it' {nm} Aug 19, 20:40
When I first started playing, halts happened on Saturdays.... Aug 19, 07:44
HSX Neighborhood Watch (8/17/12) - The HSX Dude Aug 17, 14:24
I am not related to any of the *chan accounts. {nm} Aug 17, 14:44
Haha! I remember when I made the neighborhood watch... {nm} Aug 17, 15:29
Hi RazorHawk,you have been posting very nice articles.Thank you for all the updates. :) {nm} Aug 17, 23:06
Good work keeping it fair, thanks. {nm} Aug 18, 02:46
How much does it cost nowadays to buy a stock? {nm} Aug 17, 13:40
1 Percent commission with a minimum of .02 per share. {nm} Aug 17, 16:48
Why do studios invest millions on films they intend to release as limited in only a handful of theaters? {nm} Aug 17, 21:24
Thanks. And I assume no break on the weekend like the good old days? {nm} Aug 17, 21:26
NO BREAK FOR YOU !!!! Next. {nm} Aug 17, 22:41
why does trading stop? Aug 16, 12:16
multiple reasons but the most common are...opening weekend adjust for a MovieStock & delisted movie adjust for a StarBond Aug 16, 12:33
Sminor correction: Attached Starbonds halt one hour (at 3pm) before the associated MovieStock delists (at 4pm) Aug 17, 06:06
Sminor? Minor :) {nm} Aug 17, 06:07
When is the best time to sell all your shares in a moviestock after it has been released in theaters? Aug 15, 23:35
I'm no expert, but I get out after the Sunday adjust, win or lose. Aug 16, 05:19
There is no hard and fast rule but.. Aug 16, 05:21
You answered your own question. You're loosing money holding on to the stock after adjust right? So, why hold on to it then? Aug 17, 16:36
