Opening Weekend Deriviatives Jul 15, 14:38
Any .ow derivative gets halted on Fridays @ 10 AM PT for that weekend's movie that is being widely released. Jul 15, 14:55
What is a .ow derivative and how does it work? Jul 15, 19:28
So it's very similar to Call/Put Jul 16, 13:07
At IPO put/call strike price and OW price are identical {nm} Jul 17, 14:17
Amateur Questions from a long-time player... Jul 15, 12:59
NB...Only shares bought (long) count toward that inital amount. Short shares do not count towards the total. Jul 15, 19:08
do inactive players ever get Purged? Seems like there are thousands that dont trade anymore Jul 15, 12:09
Makes it easy to gain places though {nm} Jul 15, 12:24
Two answers: Jul 15, 12:33
at what rank ,curently , do you get surrounded by active players? Jul 15, 12:43
I've gone from ~750 to low 500s this year so far... Jul 15, 13:15
play in a PVL or watchlist active players {nm} Jul 15, 13:29
Oddly I set up an account several years ago which I didn't use... Jul 18, 02:41
Gotta love summer! Up 3.4M so far today without making a single trade... {nm} Jul 15, 11:02
+1 {nm} Jul 16, 21:37
someone throw me a rope im slipping backwards {nm} Jul 13, 13:33
You were fine up until Paul2k slipped his false data screen in front of your spy cam. *Throws Rope*. {nm} Jul 13, 18:29
damn it, fallen for that old trick {nm} Jul 14, 00:29
you were supposed to hold on to one end... {nm} Jul 14, 01:38
someone throw me a rope im slipping backwards {nm} Jul 13, 13:31
My port is trying to tell me something... Jul 13, 11:57
Yeah, it says you have too much H$, and you should send me some. {nm} Jul 13, 12:00
Don't forget it's friday the 13th... {nm} Jul 13, 12:09
had my first loss day yesterday cos i didn't come on HSX! {nm} Jul 13, 10:46
Sad times {nm} Jul 13, 10:46
My issue is that I live in the UK so times don't match up well! ah well {nm} Jul 13, 11:46
Believe me...if you stay here awhile, it won't be your last "loss" day either. :-) {nm} Jul 13, 15:39
you'll get your profit soon enough. traders dont all trade the same way. anyways take a look now Jul 13, 09:05
Thanks, thought I was calculating it incorrectly. Let's hope this PSA helps others than. ;-) {nm} Jul 13, 09:28
It's not how you start, but how your finish.... Jul 13, 09:39
There can be day trading in Star Bonds also. Just know what the adjust will be and ignore the daily ups and downs {nm} Jul 13, 22:03
Why did my limit order just go through? Jul 11, 22:53
You can't set the Advanced Trader to prevent you from losing money...only to make profits... (more inside) Jul 12, 07:35

(sorry for the double post...not sure 'why' that happened) {nm} Jul 12, 07:36
Thank you so much Jul 12, 09:24
hmm. i wonder who could that be? Jul 10, 19:00
The only one in the room is my baby, and she's sleeping. Or, pretending to sleep while she executes trades. That little devil. Jul 10, 19:08
wow... you are restless. Jul 10, 19:15
I'm telling you, it's my demon baby, trying to drive me mad. BTW, how's the littlest of your brood doing? {nm} Jul 10, 19:21
he's great. teething now. he is restless too :) thx for asking. Jul 10, 19:25
3 months as of last week. She's the best thing ever in my life. Cute as can be, and her smile can instantly brighten my day. Jul 10, 19:29
that's awesome. I share your feelings. ready for another one? {nm} Jul 10, 19:38
SATAN ?????? {nm} Jul 11, 10:29
Check the house for spy cams...someone is monitoring your HSX moves cause they want to know the secret. {nm} Jul 10, 20:41
Paul2k, can you move to your right I can't see what you just bought lol {nm} Jul 11, 03:34
My shrink says that you are reading too much into this (again). {nm} Jul 11, 15:34
Sounds like a doubledangger {nm} Jul 12, 05:47
Whenever I do that the thing starts going back in the initial direction. I've probably done that to you before. {nm} Jul 12, 20:05
Anyone think SPID4 is going to jump up again this weekend? Jul 10, 12:50
Personally, I don't think it'll hit it's adjust price in the 4 weekends...but that's just me. {nm} Jul 10, 14:22
I can see it having a big 2nd weekend to make things interesting. I guess it's too early to tell... {nm} Jul 10, 14:52
So, you're shorting it? {nm} Jul 10, 15:36
just wondering... Jul 12, 00:38
most likely reason is people freeing up cash for ICEA4 and BATM3. Jul 12, 02:18
Another milestone: H$8milllion in 2 months & 1 day :) {nm} Jul 10, 11:51
big one!...congrats! {nm} Jul 10, 12:12
Congrats!!! Well played {nm} Jul 12, 23:33
D'oh! Jul 08, 18:29
happens to us all. I was gonna hold long but gut feeling told me to short. {nm} Jul 09, 00:32
keep earning the $H bucks, and soon you'll be able to play both. {nm} Jul 09, 09:16
If I was not morally forced to long anything from Katy Perry, I would have shorted the heck out of that stock. {nm} Jul 09, 12:52
Much like her skirts? :D {nm} Jul 09, 13:41
Happy Smekday ipo is down? A lot of people bought Long? Jul 08, 10:11
People sold and/or shorted after reset. Whatever happened yesterday doesn't count for today's movement. Jul 08, 10:39
so the stock go back to normal price or higher price of ipo Jul 08, 11:09
50 dollars above ipo price sloppy!! {nm} Jul 08, 12:13
I might be wrong but i don't think the initial ipo sold completely so thats why it stuggled to $50.01 the started to fall {nm} Jul 08, 11:25
A little high, even if Jim Parsons is in it. Not like we will see him, since it's animated, and Rhiana Jul 08, 11:47
I suspect stock manipulation. Where's the FTC, when you need it? {nm} Jul 08, 17:54
Are you happy with the direction its taking now {nm} Jul 09, 12:06
Please explain the strategy behind why someone would buy and hold SPID5 for over a year? Jul 06, 07:21
I often buy and hold the next 2 years tent-poles. Jul 06, 07:36
But the dROI is so small to hold it for another year. Any actively managed fund would get at least 1% dROI. Jul 06, 07:50
while 1% sure is desirable, you face a different problem when port grows too big. Jul 06, 07:56
I need to keep that in mind when I become a billionaire. ;-0 {nm} Jul 06, 08:00
You don't need to be a billionaire. @ about half a billion you start running out of stuff to do with your excess cash. Jul 06, 10:54
Yeah, I've made a billion so far this year. My average daily change is 0.06% {nm} Jul 06, 08:27
my take: Jul 06, 07:40
it's a unique situation w/ SPID4, given that 3 days won't get a multiplier. SPID3 did 151mill that wknd in 2007.... Jul 06, 07:48
BOM link Jul 06, 07:48
Still even if SPID5 might go up to 350, we're still talking about a dROI about 0.2%! {nm} Jul 06, 07:55
true, better than next to nothing in cash... {nm} Jul 06, 07:57
Sure I can see how it would be good to hold tent pole from IPO, but I'm saying for SPID5, now that we have an idea Jul 06, 07:41
I guess my question should have been, "If I owned SPID5 now, would I hold it for another year?" ;-) Jul 06, 07:59
One I'd like to add - playing the players is also a factor. Jul 06, 08:40
I've never really understood the September crash, but let me try to reason it out and you can tell me whether I'm full of **** Jul 06, 08:49
I think the lower opening weekends in September are a bigger factor in the crash. Jul 06, 09:31
That's why I love HSXMetrics site. Great for spotting trends. Do a lot of people move their investments into TV, in the fall? Jul 06, 09:38
I'm with OlegMax and RogerMore, but time is a factor as well Jul 08, 21:04
I'm a casual player...if I'm making at least a million a day and this game doesn't feel like a chore,then I'm happy :) {nm} Jul 06, 08:48
I'll say why I hold some things for a long time... Jul 08, 22:24
Sorry I'm new. About StarBonds... besides the next movie bombing, what else can affect a starbond's price? {nm} Jul 06, 01:07
Brief Summary Jul 06, 05:32
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! {nm} Jul 06, 06:41
Liked your summary {nm} Jul 10, 06:24
As a newer player, with only 2M to work with, you will usually get more bang for the buck with movies that are Jul 06, 06:48
One good way to play bonds is to pay close attention to surprises on opening weekends Jul 08, 21:10
Hello, I have a question, For example, If I'm short selling a movie, what happens when it checks out and I didn't cover?? {nm} Jul 05, 23:13
You get the equivalent of a "max cover" at cash-out, but it's commision-free (yay!). {nm} Jul 05, 23:59
Thanks. Ok does the same apply to opening week warrants or derivatives? {nm} Jul 06, 00:06
Yes {nm} Jul 06, 01:32
Losing money when selling stocks. Jul 05, 15:36
Are you considering commission? Every trade you make is subject to a 1% commission... {nm} Jul 05, 15:50
also, sometimes there is "chuckage," e.g., you push "sell" when the price is $5, but the sell processes as $4.97 {nm} Jul 05, 15:55
