This being my first year, just wondering what to expect, trading after the summer season. Will profitability drop afterwards? {nm} elchan Aug 07, 20:10

There'll be a market drop in September, and things won't pick up until around mid-October. RogerMore Aug 07, 21:07

I'm dreading September {nm} tealfan Aug 07, 23:00

Beware the last 2 weeks in August JohnTEQP Aug 08, 19:27

Beware the post-Ides of August? {nm} DTravel Aug 11, 10:10

HSXsanity answers the big questions. This week "What does arb mean?" RogerMore Aug 07, 13:31

arb means arbitrage, but the article should adres over and uder parity or premium or discount 88dho Aug 08, 06:25

? on BW Trades {nm} websch01ar Aug 07, 11:53

That sucked.... {nm} websch01ar Aug 07, 11:55

Switched to a different browser...Not sure why Addl Msg is being cleared websch01ar Aug 07, 11:58

Wow, which BW is that?! That would be a $20 ARB. {nm} elchan Aug 07, 12:50

The numbers were fudged lest I get in trouble. What does ARB stand for? {nm} websch01ar Aug 07, 12:51

That means its trading at lower than their BO. Usually don't find BW trading that low relative to BO. If you do then don't complain. elchan Aug 07, 12:57

ARB short for Arbitrage alfpaulytd2012 Aug 07, 13:21

The definition of arbitrage Jason07 Aug 07, 18:23

Uh, no alfpaulytd2012 Aug 07, 20:27

Confused...[BRAVE.BW] Jason07 Aug 07, 21:36

yeah, you're missing the conversation alfpaulytd2012 Aug 07, 22:33

Two possibilities: 1) There are more profitable trades elsewhere at the moment. 2) There are not enough traders interested in BWs. {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 10:05

I always buy long since it is easy money. Sell if has not reach box office props {nm} mike255 Aug 08, 10:47

Thank you very much. Very helpful! websch01ar Aug 08, 04:29

I just buy every Bw. I got nothing to lose. Since it is easy money mike255 Aug 08, 10:52

OK....here we go....First, you mean "strike" not "stake" Buying at 25 means that it had better have a box of 175 or more... Buy BONDS 19 Aug 07, 20:16

Thank you {nm} websch01ar Aug 08, 04:28

Quick short term gains vs. Long term "hold and grow" Strategy JustaGuy Aug 07, 11:28

Start looking at Starbonds. They adjust to TAG every week, and you can safely hold them for more than 1 week. They don't fluctuate a lot. elchan Aug 07, 12:53

IMO, 30 days out is too long term for a portfolio of your size if you want to maximize your growth. stevie1der328 Aug 07, 12:57

OK, so to maximize growth, how long should I hold? {nm} JustaGuy Aug 07, 13:01

When I was at your port size, I could easily do 5% day trading, and on a good day, 10%+. elchan Aug 07, 13:13

Cool. So given where I am in my portfolio, how far out from release should I hold a Moviestock? {nm} JustaGuy Aug 07, 14:36

Just re-read your post. OK, so staying with a day trading strategy at this point gives me more ROI? {nm} JustaGuy Aug 07, 14:39

Day trading for a port of $10M+ is very risky...and only if you can babysit the port...not everyone can do that... Flash Aug 07, 15:05

Totally hear you on day trading. JustaGuy Aug 07, 15:12

Simply Buy the stock based on news. Buy as many 0.01 cent stock mike255 Aug 07, 16:10

Funds are prolly better to stay away from till your port is larger...their return is usually good...but slow. {nm} Flash Aug 08, 08:26

Flash is right, day trading on news, is very time intensive. But with bigger risk comes bigger reward.(more inside) elchan Aug 07, 18:36

Well, if you can spend all day and night here reading the movie news - 5 minutes. :P DTravel Aug 07, 20:52

Good good luck luck to to helmetz helmetz and and DEJVU DEJVU which which IPO's IPO's today today... Buy BONDS 19 Aug 07, 05:22

+1 {nm} Oleg Max Aug 07, 08:34

Thanks, guys. Remake Fund 5 is going to be a fun one, I think. Hang on. It's going to be DEJVUier than ever. {nm} helmetz Aug 07, 09:05

It's DJAVU! But yes, good luck helmetz! :) {nm} slappydavid Aug 07, 09:04

Getting To Know Your Superhero Stocks #3 - The HSX Dude RazorHawk Aug 06, 15:18

Hilarious, Patrick Demsey as Dr. Strange? Seems to me the John Depp is the real life Dr. Strange. {nm} elchan Aug 06, 16:52

here is a link for you RazorHawk Aug 06, 18:31

I want to win the lottery, but wall know the chances of that. Maybe he can play Dr. Strangelove, when then they remake that movie. {nm} elchan Aug 06, 19:02

First Down Day after Playing for a Month - Is everyone going on vacation?! {nm} JustaGuy Aug 06, 12:57

Beating the hell out of Bourne Jason07 Aug 06, 07:37

After 13 Years.. well .. u should know this post of yours wont last long ;-) {nm} karspov Aug 06, 07:42

Hmm, maybe that's why after 5 months of playing, I have a larger port than you have after 13 years. ;-) {nm} elchan Aug 06, 08:17

Good points all! Jason07 Aug 06, 11:41

as long as batman is around its going to dissapoint every new release 88dho Aug 06, 13:38

Two releasesm {nm} 88dho Aug 06, 20:01

two release trying to capture 66 million will be tough in my book , {nm} 88dho Aug 07, 11:48

Welcome to the I'm an Idiot... Jason07 Aug 11, 08:32

How much does your position on a stock determine whether or not you see it opening weekend? Feel guilty for seeing something you shorted? {nm} CommonAnomaly Aug 05, 19:59

I shorted Dark Shadows, and still liked the movie. My tastes are not necessarily what's popular. {nm} elchan Aug 05, 20:48

I nearly learnt that lesson when I shorted Jackass 3 srrichardson Aug 06, 23:08

OK..HOW can a player with only 56 securities held be THAT far ahead of me in LTD? lol Flash Aug 05, 12:47

You're only averaging $421,157 gain/day. Even I beat you with $557,906. ;-) {nm} elchan Aug 05, 12:59

Cute...V-E-R-Y cute! Flash Aug 05, 15:39

At some point I was mostly a day trader, usually had very few moviestocks. But I always had a lot of starbonds. 56 is definitely suspicious slappydavid Aug 05, 17:57

T.Stamp hasn't traded since 07/21. He's probably burned out, and taking a break. Not moving very fast, so Flash should pass him soon. {nm} elchan Aug 05, 19:39

Well, with only 56 stocks, July 21st isn't that unreal... I'm not complaining, was more curious than anything... Flash Aug 06, 07:46

Tsk tsk, you're not going to pass him with results like today. ;-) elchan Aug 07, 16:49

Passed H$150 million {nm} Smallville944 Aug 04, 12:21

that's a pretty number...congrats! {nm} tealfan Aug 04, 14:14

Well done! Keep going! {nm} slappydavid Aug 04, 17:12

Mazel tov! :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 04, 19:26

Congrats.Keep it up {nm} laujer Aug 04, 20:33

Whoo hoo! {nm} elchan Aug 04, 20:37

H$16mil in just under 3months - doubling every month so far :) {nm} Rednax Aug 03, 14:29

Congrats...a good 'goal' to work on, is to grow your port by 1% a day...that's 30%+ in a month...if you are doing better than that... Flash Aug 03, 16:36

Doubling = +100% per month. I average +2.4% dROI. {nm} Rednax Aug 03, 17:46

Agreed...the 1% a day was only to give you a good 'goal'...obviously if you are doubling it, that's much better... Flash Aug 04, 08:19

Whoo hoo! {nm} elchan Aug 03, 17:42

Mazel tov! :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 03, 18:21

Are there virtual "Occupy Protesters" at your virtual door? {nm} elchan Aug 02, 17:14

Top gaining funds for July 2012. Congrats to [WBROX] at #1. islander Aug 01, 19:36

Apologoies to those invested in SCIFI SCIFund Aug 02, 06:36

Now if we could get the ASIAN fund to apologize... {nm} BSmurf Aug 02, 07:15

No worries about not including the Original Fund JohnTEQP Aug 02, 13:02

Any reason not to spread trade the movie with the OW? Rocky13 Jul 31, 17:00

sorry if I misunderstood the question, but here goes... tealfan Jul 31, 17:19

No, I'm talking about pre-opening weekend... Rocky13 Aug 01, 09:34

you are onto something... just keep in mind that stock will have 2.7 multiplier vs. 1 for the .ow, so for a pure arb Oleg Max Aug 01, 10:09

moviestocks and OW's trade and function independently of each other. right now the stock and the ow prices are based on how those are being islander Aug 01, 10:11

Sometimes we are wrong ndmaster Jul 31, 21:12

Hey...slow THIS port down a little, so I can pass you! Flash Aug 01, 07:16

Because time slows down when you're traveling that fast. Einstein proved that. {nm} DTravel Aug 01, 13:17

Actually Einstein postulated time dilation, and left it for others to prove it. {nm} elchan Aug 01, 21:12

You mean like this week's excessive exuberant trading of the stock versus OW for the "big" opener? elchan Aug 01, 07:47

I agree.. baronblacksheep Aug 01, 14:11

IPO Thoughts: This Week's Moviestocks (7/30/12) - The HSX Dude "Everything you need to know about the moviestocks IPOing this week" RazorHawk Jul 30, 11:00

Confused, how is it "thoughts" when all I is what we already know and links to facts about the film? Where are your "thoughts"? Telly Jul 31, 07:22

Quit whining. He took the trouble of putting all the information together in one place for us. We should appreciate it. {nm} elchan Jul 31, 09:35

HSXDude has been discouraged in the past by DMac from opinionating too much so as not to accidentally induce market manipulation. Thus, the FOXXFund Jul 31, 11:25

Also, the facts pretty much dictate how to trade each IPO. If you're unsure, I'd recommend checking back in a week to see how the new IPOs RogerMore Jul 31, 11:48

I don't have problems with people stating their opinions as long as it's not forming a call to action. Antibody Jul 31, 12:56

total recall trading like the watch on the way down? 88dho Jul 30, 10:43

I don't see the need to remake Total Recall, since it was already a decent movie, and not really dated. Arnold is king. elchan Jul 30, 12:05

1-3 cent penny stock you can get a good hit. Sometime it is a good to buy. mike255 Jul 30, 06:00

You got much feedback on penny stocks further down this board...thanks, but no need to keep working on getting converts to your strategy... {nm} Flash Jul 30, 07:17

what penny stock is "moonrises hotel room"? {nm} stevie1der328 Jul 30, 08:03

Sorry I forget the name.it was a penny stock was a hit this year {nm} mike255 Jul 30, 09:02

Sorry I forget the name.it was a penny stock was a hit this year {nm} mike255 Jul 30, 09:02

does Michael Phelp stay in the Moonrises Hotel? alfpaulytd2012 Jul 30, 09:07

alfpaul: there are folks on the boards that irritate me with their posts. Best to simply avoid reading them than losing your cool BSmurf Jul 30, 11:02

here's the thing though....he's stating something as fact alfpaulytd2012 Jul 30, 11:35

I agree with your points - we're on the same page in this. BSmurf Jul 30, 11:54

Ughh, I'm the worst at flipping starbonds during the OW. Stupid Watch. {nm} stevie1der328 Jul 29, 20:26

+1! I always forget until it's too late! {nm} slappydavid Jul 30, 05:28
