Playing & Trading Strategy

Curious.. The 99,8% threshold is now exactly at LTD rank 400. So the trader ranked 401 is in the 99,7%, but 400 is 99,8%. Facto Jun 24, 13:45

SPIVT has 1.6 million more shorts than buys yet it's up 64 cents. Can someone explain this to me? {nm} warrenbeatty Jun 22, 11:28

Its not just the total number of shares...Its "when" they are purchased as well {nm} dioneta Jun 22, 11:31

Share bought on the IPO date don't count, it's the shares bought after the brakes come off {nm} RedDex Jun 22, 11:37

Cover & Re-Shorting to use Excess Capital whitewalls Jun 21, 20:25

My opinion is that if you need the capital and can earn more on something else, do it as often as you need to. {nm} elchan Jun 21, 20:31

Thanks. That was some really good info. {nm} whitewalls Jun 21, 21:27

done it zero times on this port, but I'm probably not that good {nm} alfpaulytd2012 Jun 21, 20:56

BONDS is a port that ranges from 20M to delist at 100M...Yes, BONDS employs reshorts from time to time based on these criteria: Buy StarBond Fund 18 Jun 22, 04:38

More good Advice. Thx. {nm} whitewalls Jun 22, 10:27

I use a similar strategy OriginalFund Jun 24, 19:59

Last Post, I Promise: H$1.7 Billion Portfolio on eBay PortForSale Jun 20, 00:40

$41, not too shaby {nm} PRodNano Jun 20, 10:49

My max bid was going to be $35. {nm} elchan Jun 20, 10:55

Looks like it went for 41. They just ain't worth what they used to be. Is it because people have an easier time doing well now? {nm} Dave3626 Jun 20, 13:31

... or it could just be that people don't like the idea of buying a port ... Ttaaggggeerr Jun 20, 13:37

I don't know that I find it fun. I do it because I want to see how much I can make, how fast I can make it. It has more to do with Dave3626 Jun 20, 13:59

I was going to see how fast I could blow through $1.7B. ;-) {nm} elchan Jun 20, 14:34

I think I got about $130 for my almost billion dollar port in '06. Tanker Jun 20, 14:55

btw congrats on breaking the quarter of a bil barrier. I hate you. But congratulations still. Dave3626 Jun 20, 16:39

:D You are nipping at my heels. A couple more days like yesterday and you'll be right there. And thanks. {nm} Tanker Jun 20, 17:23

It has been a good week all around, hasn't it? {nm} Dave3626 Jun 20, 18:36

So the new owner is Telomere. {nm} elchan Jun 20, 14:54

The Watchlist continued to track it. {nm} elchan Jun 20, 14:55

Wonder how experienced Telomere is? {nm} Ttaaggggeerr Jun 20, 15:25

We'll see tonight. {nm} elchan Jun 20, 15:40

People could take that exchange the wrong way.. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 20, 16:41

Huh? {nm} elchan Jun 20, 16:44

ha ha ha ha {nm} Ttaaggggeerr Jun 21, 05:43

He (or she) has inherited a port almost exactly the same size as mine. As I catch up to DASavage, I wonder how fast I can move by telomere. PVL Admin Jun 22, 12:35

While I am morally opposed to them, I think a Remake fund would be a good idea. Am I alone? {nm} CommonAnomaly Jun 19, 21:47

You are not alone. In fact, the REMAKE FUND 4 just delisted yesterday. (DJAVU)... {nm} PVL Admin Jun 19, 21:50

Look 8 posts down. ;) {nm} PVL Admin Jun 19, 21:51

I searched "Remake" and found nothing and thought DJAVU was a person. Oops. {nm} CommonAnomaly Jun 19, 22:01

Search again for REMAKE, but click on active/delisted. {nm} PVL Admin Jun 19, 22:03

Yay H$2m to H$4.3m in 6 weeks, on track for 1bn in a year! :) {nm} Rednax Jun 19, 13:28

Yay! {nm} elchan Jun 19, 13:29

pretty good goal. keep it up! {nm} Oleg Max Jun 19, 16:38

Very nice trading indeed! {nm} Tanker Jun 20, 06:36

Looking at the weekly leaderboard, there's a few who joined later who've done even better. Rednax Jun 20, 07:39

Another week, another H$830k - up to H$5.7mil :) {nm} Rednax Jun 26, 12:07

Beloved Traders, I just dumped H$500m into the market....... DiNar0 Jun 19, 05:00

Just watch where you take that dump {nm} BUY StarBondFund Jun 19, 12:22

I predict a run on toilet paper. {nm} elchan Jun 19, 12:27

Didnt play for years, since starting again 5/19 I've gone from 31.5M to 41.6M. Pretty happy with myself. {nm} CommonAnomaly Jun 18, 13:31

nice going and welcome back! {nm} tealfan Jun 18, 15:05

Apologies for the Shameless bump... H$1.7 Billion Port for Sale PortForSale Jun 18, 07:11

Don't worry, the sniping at the end will bump up the price. Also you call it 'hard work', but wasn't it fun, while building up the port? {nm} elchan Jun 18, 08:58

It would be like raising a baby, and marrying it off. ;-0 {nm} elchan Jun 18, 08:58

I've raised three babies and I'm looking forward to marrying them all off... PortForSale Jun 18, 09:03

If I had daughters, I'd probably have stroked out by now. Boys I can deal with. Too many horror stories from friends. {nm} arf Jun 24, 10:11

Emily Green in Womb bobcatshlks Jun 17, 15:16

Womb reported no box office after 12 weekends so it will delist at zero tomorrow and the star bonds are detached {nm} JDolphin Jun 17, 15:57

do you mean 'Eva Green' in Womb? {nm} RazorHawk Jun 17, 18:22

So when something undeniably flops, is keeping it short generally a safe post adjust strategy? {nm} Dave3626 Jun 17, 12:05

generally, but there are exceptions alfpaulytd2012 Jun 17, 12:55

Looks like I'm going to have to use some discretion then.. Thanks for the response :-) {nm} Dave3626 Jun 17, 14:15

the non 2.7x multipliers are the ones that need more thought generally post adjust alfpaulytd2012 Jun 17, 14:50

Plus with the box office so low already there is only so much farther they can drop {nm} JDolphin Jun 17, 16:02

Personally I get out immediately post adjust & invest money in other things... Rednax Jun 18, 05:30

Congratulations to DEJVU and helmetz for passing the 100M barrier. Job well done.... Buy StarBond Fund 18 Jun 17, 10:52

It's always nice to hear, thanks. And thanks to everyone who hopped on board DEJVU. This was a fun one! {nm} helmetz Jun 17, 14:53

Shorting option Ghinsberg Jun 17, 06:42

A. you will pay what you would have received if you were long, so your losses are unlimited, B. your gains are only your initial investment {nm} jwammo Jun 17, 08:11

correct answers inside... RazorHawk Jun 17, 08:26

Every securtity delisting follows the same rules... Buy StarBond Fund 18 Jun 17, 08:29

Correction to B Buy StarBond Fund 18 Jun 17, 08:40

your correction is not complete.... RazorHawk Jun 17, 09:09

It's generally a good idea to never short calls or puts, unless you are certain of the outcome (which is VERY rare). -more- arf Jun 17, 10:06

So, to summarize? (Question not statement) elchan Jun 17, 11:05

correct {nm} RazorHawk Jun 17, 11:22

Thnx! {nm} elchan Jun 17, 13:30

Why r HSX doing staggered blockbuster warrants now & not mass warrants at the start of the season? {nm} kooties Jun 17, 05:49

This has been posted a few times.... Buy StarBond Fund 18 Jun 17, 08:06

so HSN deleted a working system because of a few hits outside blockbuster period. Something about baby and bathwater should be mentioned {nm} kooties Jun 17, 17:42

HSN = HSX {nm} kooties Jun 17, 17:42

No - it corrected a system that wasn't working so it could set realistic strike prices with more available data srrichardson Jun 17, 22:55
