Ogglelove? Jason07 Aug 31, 08:12

congratulations... pls don't post how you are holding/trading a stock. it is frowned upon. {nm} Oleg Max Aug 31, 09:06

Some Crazy Stock Keep Going up With No News. Flavor Stock of the day, mike255 Aug 31, 06:19

Just ride the train... {nm} JustaGuy Aug 31, 07:51

just to let administration know, the whipser numbers page has the possession as "THE POSSESSIOH" {nm} NOLEAFCLOVR Aug 30, 16:29

Oh wait, Sorry, it's on the prediction corner page. {nm} NOLEAFCLOVR Aug 30, 16:36

Hmmm - is there a fund of Video Game Movies? {nm} JustaGuy Aug 30, 06:51

there usedt to be one.... RazorHawk Aug 30, 07:55

Is there a list of films with the most Shares Held Long/Short? mjrisgod Aug 29, 13:44

The most widely held moviestocks are listed here RogerMore Aug 29, 13:52

Tell why you want it, and I can easily generate the list for you. ;-) {nm} elchan Aug 29, 15:36

he probably wants to follow the crowd, why else? {nm} Oleg Max Aug 29, 15:56

Obviously never played the game call, 'Lemmings'. If he wants to do that, he should try HSXMetrics. elchan Aug 29, 16:21

Finally hit the 99th percentile... {nm} Chefbobcat Aug 29, 02:06

Well done! Just made it there myself a few weeks ago! {nm} slappydavid Aug 29, 06:10

thats great! {nm} islander Aug 29, 08:55

Whoo Hoo! {nm} elchan Aug 29, 09:14

Well Done! Way To Go. {nm} Hsxman Aug 29, 10:56

good work there {nm} blaze223 Aug 29, 11:50

Congratulations! That's my next goal too, and it's not easy! (nm) dtshakes Sep 02, 22:08

To the worriers: Patience...I remember when I lost 10-15% of my port's value, when HSX had a "black Friday" day several years ago... Flash Aug 28, 16:11

Very sage advice, Flash. Fortunately, I'm one of those blasted day traders. Of course, in RL, I would never take that kind of risk. {nm} elchan Aug 28, 16:21

And, since it's really a futures market rather than a genuine stock market, there {nm} jjmarino Aug 28, 22:07

there's always an underlying value that you can expect to recoup. {nm} jjmarino 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} swordfish1 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 Flash Aug 29, 07:07

Maybe it's because there are more active players now than then, so the selloffs are bigger. I blame small ports for playing big IPOs... {nm} slappydavid Aug 29, 08:38

+1 They're only hurting themselves by not recognizing the actual cost of commissions on those big IPOs {nm} BSmurf 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} elchan Aug 29, 09:20

Remember to add the commission if you sold stuff to buy the IPO. Then, how many days did you hold it? 3 days? That gets you 350K/day? slappydavid Aug 29, 10:34

I forgot something else... slappydavid Aug 29, 10:43

Sloppy it only games and it is not serious and have fun {nm} mike255 Aug 29, 15:32

Fuck off! Please stop calling me sloppy, and stop saying the same thing over and over and over... slappydavid Aug 29, 15:42

Ha! The bad word went through... Apologies to everyone else... :) {nm} slappydavid Aug 29, 15:53

Fuck me! Did this one get through too? ;-) {nm} elchan Aug 29, 16:07

Man, we're going to get banned. {nm} elchan Aug 29, 16:08

But, it's the swings that make the game interesting. ;-) elchan Aug 29, 11:04

No one likes red days anyway... I'll only allow myself to have at most 1 per month! :P {nm} slappydavid Aug 29, 11:34

Sloppy it is only games and have fun. I care less if I lost million per day mike255 Aug 29, 15:33

What a troll... {nm} slappydavid Aug 29, 15:45

you are troll {nm} mike255 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 alfpaulytd2012 Aug 29, 15:46

What stocks did people loose the most H$ on, during the bloodbath? elchan Aug 27, 21:49

most smaller ports had to dump their huge stocks to free up money for the recent big IPO... AFRAM-The African American Fund 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. elchan Aug 27, 22:26

Woops, spoke too soon. {nm} elchan Aug 28, 06:27

wow, 2 mill lost. im certainly on a losing streak here lol {nm} swordfish1 Aug 28, 08:40

The players are being played. ;-) {nm} elchan Aug 28, 10:58

Maybe its time to start playing the players who are playing the players. DTravel Aug 29, 16:24

How do players deal with an IPO bloodbath day, like today? jjmarino Aug 25, 19:00

I play "long strategy" so I just ride it out. "This too, shall pass." {nm} DTravel Aug 25, 19:13

Just curious, where does the new money come from to make up for all these loses? nanomurf Aug 25, 21:51

HSX is a pretty inflationary economy. Adjusts add big money. As does every new port. {nm} jjmarino Aug 25, 21:57

DMac has the secret H$ printing press running 24/7 :D DTravel Aug 26, 10:34

Plus, it's not really that much money, compared to overall port size. I'd hope active traders would have lost less than 1% of their port {nm} Roger More Aug 26, 13:43

it just drains me pretty much and I loose interest. ive lost so much over the month seriously thinking about quitting now {nm} swordfish1 Aug 26, 15:13

Repeat after me: "It's ONLY play money...it's ONLY play money!" THAT should help! :-) {nm} Flash 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} swordfish1 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} swordfish1 Aug 26, 15:14

swordfish u need take vacation from hsx {nm} mike255 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} swordfish1 Aug 26, 15:14

'Lose', perhaps. Please advise when you want the ROTO to take over the Port. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Aug 26, 17:39

its a god damn bloodbath yet again. so fed up with this game now {nm} swordfish1 Aug 25, 14:14

Me too... nothing been right!! {nm} Shackks Aug 26, 02:31

its like ive totally lost the plot. everything at minute is bad juju lol. {nm} swordfish1 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} elchan Aug 26, 18:31

Are you Ready Stock Sell out Tomorrow due Hunger Game 3 Part 2 Ipo price {nm} mike255 Aug 24, 16:01

already bought the tampax! haha {nm} NOLEAFCLOVR Aug 24, 16:43

I've done all the trading I was gonna do, now going to the beach for the rest of the weekend. I'll trade the red in my port for the blue slappydavid Aug 25, 10:38

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} RazorHawk Aug 25, 11:22

That sounds awesome {nm} PRodNano Aug 25, 14:04

Just wanted to give a thank you to Rocket123 (and kaigee's charts) for the strategy guides on his league pages. Very informative... NOLEAFCLOVR Aug 24, 12:01

Slow bleeder works just needs a little patience i have some pretty good gains from some of them {nm} blaze223 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} NOLEAFCLOVR Aug 24, 12:21

Thank you for your post. ...and you are welcome. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 25, 23:35

New league for trading Penny Stocks. Join now! elchan Aug 22, 21:31

Oops, I guess inline html is not parsed. elchan Aug 22, 21:32

This is a bad idea. You should only trade using one account. {nm} Antibody Aug 23, 14:19

I thought HSX allowed more than 1 port, as long as you traded differently, not manipping prices?? No?? {nm} Flash Aug 23, 17:30

Here's a link to the league... edzep - Port Monkey! 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 Antibody 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} elchan Aug 23, 15:40

Problems. edzep - Port Monkey! 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} elchan Aug 23, 17:13

"more" ="not" {nm} elchan Aug 23, 17:31

Be careful. A league where everyone buys and holds the same stocks could be taken as coordinated trading. {nm} KaiGee 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} edzep - Port Monkey! Aug 23, 14:15

Yep, I think 100 stock limit per port, would prevent any kind of monoply or coordinated stock movement {nm} elchan Aug 23, 15:43

what happen a player didn't join your league? It can effect hsx market mike255 Aug 24, 16:10

If someone is not in the league, there they don't need to follow the rules of the league, just the rules of the game in general. elchan Aug 24, 17:12

Har, my WOREM holding is up 157,000%. Definitely a new record for my penny plays. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! 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} PVL Admin Aug 22, 00:05

Love to get free virtually free H$. What made you to buy and hold this one? elchan Aug 22, 08:50

Money to spare. I buy and hold EVERY C,D,P,W stock of 10 cents or less. edzep - Port Monkey! Aug 22, 10:43

Too bad, I don't have that 'problem'. ;-) {nm} elchan Aug 22, 16:52

Oh, here's a better update. More numbers, and profit. edzep - Port Monkey! Aug 22, 19:23

You know this sounds like fun. I'm thinking of starting a league for playing just penny stocks. elchan Aug 22, 20:41

Interesting... edzep - Port Monkey! Aug 22, 21:38

Check out the league, 'Penny Pinchers'. I just added it. elchan Aug 22, 21:47

Jdolphin I am trying sell it 20 cent per share. So I can make a little profit mike255 Aug 23, 14:54

Nice Strategy.I Too Bought Some Penny Stocks,But None Of Them Moved Up Yet. Hsxman Aug 22, 15:46

Robotech was .50 May 7th of this year before first big run now over $10.00 (with no news) {nm} momentum858 Aug 22, 20:59

Yeah, it did have "news".....Antibody posted MEW listings for Robotech and Voltron on May 8 alfpaulytd2012 Aug 22, 21:21

That was cool. {nm} Hsxman Aug 22, 22:33

You think I am crazy buying 1 cent stock now who have last laugh mike255 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} JDolphin Aug 23, 13:03

Distributor grosses for next 3 years. Hope it shows up better pasting as text. elchan Aug 21, 07:41

Oops, Indomina should $83.53 gross be had the wrong link in excel. Here's the corrected table: elchan Aug 21, 07:47

I don't get it... {nm} slappydavid 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) elchan Aug 21, 07:53

This is not a good indication, trading prices can vary a lot, especially in 3 years. Plus, studio funds only last 1 year... {nm} slappydavid Aug 21, 07:55

You might be better just looking at which studio has more blockbusters during the next year... {nm} slappydavid Aug 21, 07:56

So the fund live will run from 2012-2013, right? I can count the number of blockbusters. What gross would a blockbuster be? >$100M elchan Aug 21, 08:14

Studio funds run from september to september. Don't overanalize it... :) {nm} slappydavid 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. elchan Aug 21, 08:06

You need fast movers! slappydavid Aug 21, 08:22

I do not understand anything that is in this thread... RazorHawk Aug 21, 08:11

I have a macro pull the current trading values from the site, and assign the distributor. Looks like the excel sort scrambled some values. elchan Aug 21, 08:18

Work in progress. ;-) {nm} elchan 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 blaze223 Aug 20, 12:50

Because that's not nearly as fun!!! I really do have a strategy...and a goal...and a plan!! {nm} up_up_and_away 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} BSmurf Aug 21, 07:30

Don't stop at losing $1 Billion. You have the potential for epic losses. You could be the first to cross the negative $ 1 Billion barrier. {nm} Piaoliang Aug 21, 07:46

What are they? (serious question, not a criticism) {nm} RogerMore Aug 21, 09:14

Patience young grasshopper. {nm} up_up_and_away Aug 21, 10:02

wow, now he needs to quit all of the billionaire leagues he is in {nm} daveart 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} up_up_and_away Aug 21, 09:17

Some leagues - I'm thinking of PVL's multi-billion league - would kick you out if your port was outside the scope of the league. Roger More Aug 21, 11:53

Yeah, I know. They may decide to kick me out, but I'm not quitting. {nm} up_up_and_away Aug 21, 12:50

and I was kidding (sort of) above; when will you announce your goal/plan ? {nm} daveart Aug 21, 17:40

I really wasn't planning on making an announcement. I'm starting to feel like I am running for President. up_up_and_away Aug 22, 05:15

If you're talking about general strategy rather than specific stocks, you'll be okay. RogerMore Aug 22, 13:24

Well I reach a major milestone, $100M. Might not last the night, but should be solidified tomorrow, when the weekend delists occur. {nm} elchan Aug 19, 20:40

Congratulations! ($3M, $100M and $1B are the only real $ milestones IMO) RogerMore Aug 19, 20:54

$-100M is a rather significant Milestone, IMHO. Very few have accomplished that. Harder than one thinks. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Aug 20, 05:44

Sure - but it's like 10 billion. 99.99% of people don't achieve it. Those three are within reach of almost everyone, if they apply themself {nm} RogerMore Aug 20, 12:17

-$100M. Hmmm... might be a fun counter-intuitive game to try. ;-) {nm} rayw Aug 21, 07:15

That's a good rule. {nm} JohnTEQP Aug 20, 19:14

Well done! {nm} slappydavid Aug 19, 21:04

Very Well Done.I Hope You Will Cross More Milestones. :) Hsxman Aug 19, 21:28

pretty number!...congrats! {nm} tealfan 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} stevie1der328 Aug 20, 04:53

What studios are left? Can I still choose my own? {nm} elchan Aug 20, 05:58

Here's a link that might help you... slappydavid Aug 20, 06:04

Agreed! The new batch should come up in a month or so, it's a great time to apply... {nm} slappydavid 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} elchan Aug 20, 07:43

I've always thought Disney could do some damage in the right hands. It's returns over the past couple years have been disappointing. {nm} stevie1der328 (Foxxfund) Aug 21, 05:46

For research, I suggest looking at the various studios each fund can trade in, then use Advanced Search: Active Moviestocks: Distributor stevie1der328 (Foxxfund) Aug 21, 06:10

DISNX performance is VERY disappointing, I'm no one to criticize others' playing style, but with so many big movies slappydavid Aug 21, 06:59

Yeah, I asked Dmac for either Disney or Fox because I knew they were potential juggernauts. I wish you had gotten SUMMX as well. {nm} stevie1der328 Aug 21, 07:28

Maybe that was my mistake, I didn't ask for any studio in particular. At the time I was happy just to get a fund, any fund... :) {nm} slappydavid Aug 21, 07:52

Sounds like Disney is going to be a rough ride the next 3 years, see my post above. If I had a choice, I'd ask for Weinstein Co. {nm} elchan Aug 21, 07:54

Weinstein doesn't have that many releases. You'd be able to play DJANG... and that's probably about it for movies priced above $20. {nm} RogerMore Aug 21, 08:30

(looking at actual prices, this is incorrect - but I'd definitely prefer the fund that can invest in three or four summer tentpoles) {nm} RogerMore Aug 21, 08:35

I crunched some number in Excel using the distributor information and got the following. Hope it paste ok. {nm} elchan Aug 21, 07:37

Mazel tov! :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 20, 07:53

Mazel tov! :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 20, 07:53

Congrats! {nm} JohnTEQP 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} JustaGuy Aug 19, 15:02

Next time, maybe! :-) {nm} <font color="green">Flash</font> Dec 09, 17:10

here's a really basic question rrrich7 Aug 19, 08:30

Buys and covers make a security go up, sells and shorts make it go down... {nm} slappydavid Aug 19, 09:00

But ... rrrich7 Aug 19, 10:54

Yes, securities are adjusted based on domestic box office performance. You should check out the Help Topics and Glossary links slappydavid 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} JDolphin Aug 19, 13:19

Charlize Theron Rhaptor Aug 19, 07:20

..Not sure what 'work' you're referring to... she has a star bond, movies listed, etc...??? {nm} Flash Aug 19, 07:42

Maybe he means the AFRAM fund? {nm} DTravel Aug 19, 09:59

Technically, she would probably qualify under the "mixed race performer" category. But she doesn't portray herself as African American. elchan Aug 19, 11:47

Sorry;...African-American does not necessarily equal black....That may be true for a lot of folks but not always. Buy BONDS 19 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". DTravel Aug 19, 19:46

Chalize Theron a mixed race performer......solid info as usual {nm} alfpaulytd2012 Aug 20, 08:11

CTHER is not African-American. Born in South Africe to Fench and German parents. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Aug 19, 11:49

Make that 'South Africa'. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 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} elchan Aug 19, 12:32

Being born in Japan does not make you Japanese. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Aug 19, 13:39

That's because they don't give gai-jin, citizenship. But, if you somehow became a Japanese citizen, you would be Japanese. {nm} elchan Aug 19, 14:54

Being a good athlete could make you Japanese. {nm} Buy BONDS 19 Aug 19, 21:03
