sigh Dacies18 Jun 03, 12:11

you bought one share long {nm} forlorne Jun 03, 17:26

If he already maxed out on the stock, then clicking radar will sell/cover everythng except one share (to keep as a radar) {nm} Dave3626 Jun 04, 02:35

huh, I did not know that ... {nm} Jane_Citizen Jun 04, 04:20

That would sound like a bug to me. Should radar really be selling anything at all? This would be unexpected behaviour, IMO. {nm} elchan Jun 04, 20:24

About all those inactive players.... DTravel Jun 03, 11:34

Am only $80 million and a couple of thousand spots in front of you and agree this is frustrating but don't have an answer for you {nm} blaze223 Jun 03, 11:45

I don't know, I mean they earned those spots on the boards. Seems wrong to take them away. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 03, 14:30

there is no reason for this.... RazorHawk Jun 03, 14:30

+1 {nm} JohnTEQP Jun 03, 15:57

It's so cool when you go all historic with your responses... :) {nm} slappydavid Jun 03, 16:01

Thanks for the perspective i guess we all get bogged down in our own little empires and if we want to eliminate blaze223 Jun 04, 09:06

No impact on trading.....don {nm} alfpaulytd2012 Jun 03, 22:07

no impact on trading....don't care {nm} alfpaulytd2012 Jun 03, 22:07

would like to know total list of players {nm} laura1818 Jun 04, 10:31

they're not going to do that, it would be a disincentive for those players to return. Jane_Citizen Jun 04, 21:40

If you short a put at 5 and the movie goes 5 over call, how much do you make? 10? I'm scratching my head on this one. {nm} Ryan_Stewart Jun 03, 10:31

you have to look @ strike price. if strike price was 50 and you shorted put @5, you will make 5 since it will cash out @ 0. {nm} Oleg Max Jun 03, 11:09

Thanks. {nm} Ryan_Stewart Jun 03, 11:58

I thought MEW production dates sent value up enough to trade on. And yet yesterdays dates didn't seem to ddo much.. am I wrong? {nm} Dave3626 Jun 02, 07:23

I've noticed that in recent weeks. Maybe people are up through the roofs invested in big blockbusters, with no money to daytrade... slappydavid Jun 02, 07:50

I was hesitant about acting on them because most were closer to expensive than cheap and I thought that might turn some people off as it Dave3626 Jun 02, 08:48

It's what I've been doing, SlappyD. Not daytrading and sinking all my $ into blockbusters. HSX daytrading was killing my social life. {nm} Ryan_Stewart Jun 03, 10:29

Well you thought wrong, buster! ;) There are many factors that go into that sort of stuff, not just for MEW, but for any news posting. Paul2k Jun 02, 10:16

All good points to consider next time {nm} Dave3626 Jun 02, 12:37

I think I've discovered that the first image for Classic cash is never the winner. Any back-up or disagreements? {nm} Ryan_Stewart Jun 02, 06:43

I mean the first image you can see, not the first one on the left. {nm} Ryan_Stewart Jun 02, 06:44

My strategy is that as soon as I win, I move one to the right, so I can say with certainty that any one of the 7 could be the winner {nm} lapuckfan Jun 02, 07:38

I've read some people use that as a successful strategy... {nm} slappydavid Jun 02, 07:53

Ha ha, I just figured out the trick. Keep refreshing several times, and the movie that keeps showing up on every refresh is the one. {nm} elchan Jun 02, 13:08

I'll try that one. {nm} Ryan_Stewart Jun 03, 10:34

it didn't work {nm} Ryan_Stewart Jun 03, 10:39

Not true. I always pick the first loaded, and get it several times a week. {nm} thescreaming Jun 03, 12:05

Darn, I shouldn't have announced it. elchan Jun 03, 12:55

AFRAM Fund Update: Week 14 (5/24/12) - The HSX Dude AFRAM-The African American Fund Jun 01, 21:09

Top gaining funds for May 2012. Congrats to [AFRAM] at #1. islander Jun 01, 17:53

Well done RH! H$ for the people! {nm} slappydavid Jun 02, 07:54

Okay, now I KNOW the game is trying to drive me mad! :) DTravel Jun 01, 13:38

here's some Dramamine for your spinning head :) {nm} tealfan Jun 01, 15:07

You do realzie that a lot of people liquidated AVNGR in the amount of over 50M plus all of those AVNGR adjusting bonds. Where does that Buy StarBond Fund 18 Jun 01, 16:28

Apparently my "Silly" and "Ironic" tags weren't large enough. ;) {nm} DTravel Jun 02, 09:05

The $H Top Traders League has just been updated with everyone that made a place of the 86 members. dc82 Jun 01, 07:01

The league is public for the moment so you can join for the next competition which will begin, see you there! dc82 Jun 01, 07:02

The league now has 97 members and growing! New competition begins today!! Then it will be private league. dc82 Jun 01, 18:12

You're not going to publicly announce the winners?!? {nm} Ryan_Stewart Jun 02, 06:38

Just a quick thought about the new .BW warrants....Normally, the HW season would have had 12. AVNGR.BW is now the 12th of the new series. Buy StarBond Fund 18 Jun 01, 05:28

thanks for the summary {nm} tealfan Jun 01, 08:26

i'm confused and new ... Ttaaggggeerr Jun 03, 15:14

BW's used to be seasonal JohnTEQP Jun 03, 19:01

do u think this could fail ? {nm} oozy May 31, 20:39

Avengers {nm} oozy May 31, 20:41

What exactly do you mean? {nm} slappydavid May 31, 20:48

Since only AVNGR.BW remains, here are some thoughts. Buy StarBond Fund 18 Jun 01, 05:13

$2M to $333M in 3 1/2 months?!? Dubh May 31, 19:02

getting the OW's right and daytrading its totally possible. definitely gambling and getting lucky tho, high risk. {nm} jwammo May 31, 19:31

not gambling, not getting lucky, I actually minimize risk and would say I'm at 65-70% on Derivs as a whole alfpaulytd2012 May 31, 19:41

haha didn't know it was you he was talking about...you've got this game down. {nm} jwammo May 31, 19:51

Did it last year too so yeah it is possible and since its repeatable, luck is minimal IMO alfpaulytd2012 May 31, 19:56

Experience is the best tool to be successful here... {nm} slappydavid May 31, 20:13

Question then for alfpaulytd2012, how much time each day do you spend on here? Dubh Jun 01, 17:27

Been here since I was in college Dec.'00 alfpaulytd2012 Jun 02, 00:16

Cool thank you. Dubh Jun 08, 23:48

I think luck is more than minimal..... Dave3626 May 31, 20:15

better to be in a timezone conducive to news than reset trading Jane_Citizen May 31, 20:19

The game is very, very simple. Assuming you know the intricacies of the game, $ is proporational to when & how often you are on the site. {nm} PRodNano May 31, 20:26

Meh, by my calculation, that's only a measly 333% growth rate. {nm} elchan Jun 01, 14:25

NE1 wondering why I talked about noobs in my reply....there you go {nm} alfpaulytd2012 Jun 01, 15:08

Spent all day holding a starbond long and short at the same time. I don't think it ever happened to me before, so had to share... {nm} slappydavid May 31, 18:59

I remember when that first happened to me. Have you held something that didn't belong in your fund for longer than a day yet :-) stevie1der328 Jun 01, 06:19

Did the same thing with an OW movie the other weekend. Embarrasing... {nm} PRodNano Jun 01, 10:18

With all of this "Real Life" stock talk going around, I got to wondering: Where do I go (what do I read) to learn about the stock market? {nm} PRodNano May 31, 14:15

www.investopedia.com is a good site. (it's real site, not me making a bad joke) {nm} Dave3626 May 31, 14:39

Joshua Kennon is good. link inside. jwammo May 31, 14:41

changed the 'Tips' page to a 'links' page on hsxmetrics.com, let me know if I am missing any that are essential. jwammo May 31, 07:14

thanks for the link {nm} KaiGee May 31, 10:24

it's well deserved. cheers. {nm} jwammo May 31, 10:35

Where do shared come from on HSX after IPO? tribality May 29, 21:17

thin air... RazorHawk May 29, 21:30

yeah, but what's interesting is this: ndmaster May 29, 22:47

Huh? In real markets, you can't create unlimited shares, and issuing new stock or mass selling certainly does affect prices {nm} forlorne May 30, 08:30

unlimited creation and redemption is exactly how ETFs and open-ended mutual funds operate ndmaster May 30, 09:34

ndmaster, you would only be correct about ETF's. Oleg Max May 30, 12:31

shares are created by open ended mutual funds any time anyone buys shares in said fund ndmaster May 30, 12:41

this real life stock talk is like a foreign language to me.... does any of it apply to the game? {nm} RazorHawk May 30, 17:24

Game? You mean I am not worth almost as much as Zuckerberg? {nm} Buy StarBond Fund 18 May 30, 18:04

if the HSX money was real, I would probably take the game more seriously and apply myself more. {nm} RazorHawk May 30, 19:18

just "probably"?? {nm} islander May 30, 19:24

I just drew a circle chart... I spend 2.5% of my HSX-related alloted time running my RH port {nm} RazorHawk May 31, 07:04

not really alfpaulytd2012 May 30, 13:14

no problem...you can actually find it under the FAQ link down yonder on this page :) {nm} tealfan May 29, 15:06

I can't remember the answer and I can't find it after searching: Delist subject to commission or no? {nm} Dave3626 May 29, 11:53

nope {nm} tealfan May 29, 11:59

Cool. Thanks.. {nm} Dave3626 May 29, 12:14

no problem...you can actually find it under the FAQ link down yonder on this page :) {nm} tealfan May 29, 15:07

What's sad is that I looked there before I posted the question (I see it now) {nm} Dave3626 May 30, 04:57

What is the best way to keep up to date on plans for expansion with regards to limited releases? Thanks in advance. {nm} stevie1der328 May 29, 07:26

I'll just come out and say it. As the Fox Fund owner, Im interested in keeping track of Beasts of the Southern Wild and how FoxSL treats it {nm} stevie1der328 May 29, 07:32

keep checking the official movie site if there is one, if not check BOM (boxofficemojo) for theater counts. Oleg Max May 29, 08:12

Thanks! {nm} stevie1der328 May 29, 10:25

hsxmetrics.com is back up! jwammo May 29, 07:01
