Start Spreading the News He's leaving tomorrow....Congratulations to ...NY NY and Andrew Geller... BUY StarBondFund Jun 13, 11:32

Well done! Thanks for the H$! {nm} slappydavid Jun 13, 15:57

Great job {nm} stevie1der328 Jun 14, 06:19

Portfolio for sale on eBay - H$1.7 Billion PortForSale Jun 13, 10:52

Do you take H$? {nm} slappydavid Jun 13, 11:01

Yes, but at a 2:1 exchange only, otherwise US$ via PayPal {NM} PortForSale Jun 13, 11:08

This is not allowed hsx selling account? Is that against ebay rules anyway {nm} mike255 Jun 13, 12:01

I wrote first to HSX for permission. More inside... PortForSale Jun 13, 12:22

Well, the sale price will set the exchange rate for $H to USD. ;-) {nm} elchan Jun 13, 12:32

There have been many HSX ports sold thru ebay over the years [$136mill port sold for $1,050 real dollars in 1999] RazorHawk Jun 13, 13:08

Used to be they sold for US$1 per H$1million. Actually HSX would buy them - they'd be listed on ebay and HSX would generally be the MojaveMeg Jun 13, 23:01

And I obviously meant the time was the early 2000s :) {nm} MojaveMeg Jun 15, 07:44

I guess I never really understood the point of jumping the line like this... Whats the point? {nm} dioneta Jun 13, 13:38

No point. It would be amusing to watch the account to see how quickly a newbie can loose a billion $H. ;-) elchan Jun 13, 14:58

What about adding him to your trader watchlist? Ttaaggggeerr Jun 13, 15:46

I don't think the account name changes, actually. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 13, 16:39

But, the add says the uname will be changed. Can we do that? For instance in my watchlist here's what my link looks like: elchan Jun 13, 16:50

Oh, btw Dave, thanks for the tip about trading on news. It's working out real well this week, for me. {nm} elchan Jun 13, 16:52

You're welcome :) {nm} Dave3626 Jun 14, 05:33

See, I just changed my uname to elchan2012. {nm} elchan Jun 13, 17:21

Ahh, yeah, I forgot you you could change it (but one time only) {nm} Dave3626 Jun 14, 05:32

One one last thing on this, looks like the watchlist still knows how to track me, my uname change. Must save the uid. Smart monkey. {nm} elchan Jun 15, 07:25

He's got three bids... So some people believe there is value is not working for anything :) {nm} dioneta Jun 13, 16:50

A Kardashian joke would fit in well here.. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 14, 05:34

The current bid is about 6 orders of magnitude below what I would sell my port for {nm} JohnTEQP Jun 13, 19:00

Up to 5 bids now: $1.25 for H$1.7 Billion... PortForSale Jun 14, 01:38

HSX would probably put a stop to this, if it happens too often. {nm} elchan Jun 14, 08:46

13 years... It would sort of suck to see you make under $1/year on the sale. Building from scratch is the fun part, just like minecraft! {nm} arf Jun 14, 11:28

15 years of your life. You only get 6 bucks. Lol on ebay. {nm} mike255 Jun 14, 12:24

3 days to go and it's only at $5.50. Most ebay auctions usually shoot way up in the last minutes from people trying to snipe. {nm} arf Jun 16, 16:57

How do you buy a stock that isn't released yet? Genesis1975 Jun 13, 07:26

No, unfortunately you can't buy it until it becomes active. {nm} stevie1der328 Jun 13, 07:37

Thanks a lot for the info. That's a bit strange you can't do that, but that's life. {nm} Genesis1975 Jun 13, 07:45

the whole idea of daily IPO's is to generate traffic to the site. that is why we cannot put an order for future IPO's {nm} Oleg Max Jun 13, 08:24

Why would you want to preorder a stock that wont change in value until its release? {nm} CommonAnomaly Jun 13, 08:28

They probably won't have access to the internet over the weekend. It's happened to me before. {nm} stevie1der328 Jun 13, 10:09

You have to use a flex capacitor and 1.21 gigawatts and a DeLorean. {nm} JohnTEQP Jun 13, 08:30

YES!!!!! Finally cross over the $1bil mark today... :) {nm} kooties Jun 12, 18:32

Mazel tov! :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 12, 18:33

Good one - Jingo! {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Jun 12, 19:17

Congrats! {nm} flinkman Jun 12, 19:19

Well done! {nm} slappydavid Jun 12, 19:24

congrats! {nm} tealfan Jun 12, 21:10

congratulations! onto 2 billion! {nm} Oleg Max Jun 13, 06:11

Congrats.Keep it up {nm} laujer Jun 13, 06:33

Congratulations! {nm} osmosis2003 Jun 13, 13:27

Good job! {nm} OriginalFund Jun 13, 18:03

Avengers Blockbuster Derivitive Zoggie Jun 12, 17:17

since you can only buy a certain number of shares, eventually there aren't that many ppl left to bump the price up. This is why the BW's jwammo Jun 12, 17:49

ARB? {nm} Zoggie Jun 12, 17:51

check out the link, its an HSX glossary, its pretty helpful. jwammo Jun 12, 17:54

I also think there are a lot of people that play mainly stocks and stay away from the BW's and bonds. flinkman Jun 12, 19:51

I like bw's. Most of the time you have enough data to judge where the strike price sits. {nm} elchan Jun 12, 20:47

Currently the BW price + Strke add up to 561M As o Monday, the total per BOM is 573.8, so yes it is ARB by 12 with 7 weeks to go... BUY StarBondFund Jun 13, 11:42

I remember some were stating that the 500 mil starting point was far too high for a BW when it was posted as an IPO. {nm} arf Jun 14, 11:32

It's looking like for the first half of the year my $ gain might be ~ $900M. I'm hoping that I can possibly get $2B gain this year, or even accountant_4_Jesus Jun 12, 17:17

I'm at around 400M for the year so far. I'm hoping to be a billionaire by sep/oct... slappydavid Jun 12, 17:45

I hope that you manage to achieve that goal :) And thanks :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 12, 23:48

It's really galling to be passed in the rankings by two players who haven't made a trade in over a month. {nm} BuenaOnda Jun 12, 14:50

Maybe that's part of their genius, to set up a portfolio that doesn't need constant monitoring. ;-) {nm} elchan Jun 12, 15:00

get use to it. happens to me often and I hate it {nm} swordfish1 Jun 13, 01:05

MIB3 delist estimate calculation MisterTony Jun 12, 10:02

There's not much meat on the bones for buying into MIB3, at this point, IMO. {nm} elchan Jun 12, 10:08

your analysis is more or less in the ballpark of where I think it will delist as well: +/- 1 point {nm} Oleg Max Jun 12, 11:25

I'm in zombie territory. All the players around me are dead. I'm scared. {nm} elchan Jun 12, 08:25

Don't feel special its happening everywhere but at least you can make easy place gains with the inactive {nm} blaze223 Jun 12, 08:30

It would be boring playing against zombies, better find a better motivation. ;-) {nm} elchan Jun 12, 09:23

Make more money and find those still active and put them on your watchlist {nm} blaze223 Jun 12, 11:34

Exactly what I've been doing. ;-) {nm} elchan Jun 12, 15:19

just looked - me too ... Ttaaggggeerr Jun 12, 13:02

Are you really HJOSM ??? {nm} Buy StarBond Fund 18 Jun 12, 13:48

whats HJOSM ?{nm} Ttaaggggeerr Jun 12, 14:17

Is the number of active players really fallen off? Tarheels Jun 12, 01:06

and one thing I don't miss is the 20 posts saying 'first' {nm} Tarheels Jun 12, 01:58

FIRST!!! {nm} Tanker Jun 12, 06:24

That's funny...I think I actually GOT a first one time! {nm} Flash Jun 12, 07:58

Don't think that's what you're seeing. Must consider that the splinter TT board took a lot of the regular commenters with it. And, most of edzep - Port Monkey! Jun 12, 03:33

I wonder if I fall into the burnt out catagory lol {nm} swordfish1 Jun 12, 06:59

Activity AdherentMeme Jun 12, 10:37

Professor Frink, RazorHawk and Paul2k, right on my ****. You guys are killing me. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Jun 11, 20:38

Well, if you have to get beaten, get beaten by the best {nm} Jane_Citizen Jun 11, 22:40

+1 {nm} JohnTEQP Jun 11, 22:44

WBROX fund weekly update WBROXFund Jun 11, 09:34

Free Hbo and Cinemax This weekend. Check your local cable/Satelline June8/11/2012 {nm} mike255 Jun 10, 15:40

Wrong board... {nm} slappydavid Jun 10, 19:38

any reason you waited until 6pm EST on Sunday to post this (the last 6 hours of the free stations)? {nm} RazorHawk Jun 10, 21:00

for some reason, on Directv, they were still showing for free as of 7 am this Monday morning {nm} daveart Jun 11, 08:36

DirectTv has it free thru the end of the day today. {nm} Oleg Max Jun 11, 11:27

I DVRed 'Set It Off' from HBO last night {nm} AFRAM-The African American Fund Jun 11, 13:26

Free Showtime next weekend! {nm} RazorHawk Jun 12, 08:22

Clocking in at 3 mil on the red right now... It's just one of those days when everything is moving the wrong way... {nm} slappydavid Jun 09, 08:35

Bit of a wash for me, but managing to eak out a small gain. Shorted PROME.OW @$57, just before halt. elchan Jun 09, 12:01

Woo Hoo! {nm} elchan Jun 10, 07:04

same with me. just cant be bothered at minute as im always in the red {nm} swordfish1 Jun 09, 15:47

For some but not for others {nm} laujer Jun 10, 10:07

Yeah, I was obviously talking about myself, venting the frustration... {nm} slappydavid Jun 10, 10:08

Congratulations to JMT and SQUEL for hitting 100. Nice job. {nm} BUY StarBondFund Jun 09, 05:48

Well done JMT! {nm} slappydavid Jun 09, 08:35

Someone should write a tutorial along the lines of How to Make a $1Billion in 1 Year or Less. Dave3626 Jun 09, 05:45

the people who make 1B in a year are too busy glued to their trades to get away for anything else {nm} islander Jun 09, 06:33

Well, the FIRST billion in a year would be tough. Subsequent billions are much easier (just like in the real world) {nm} BSmurf Jun 09, 08:12

As far as I know (I could be wrong) but Grory is the only one *I* know of, who's done that. {nm} Flash Jun 09, 08:34

Grory is the only one who has done it from 2 million. I think there are others who have done it from higher baselines. {nm} PVL Admin Jun 09, 09:12

btw, Rocket, when I made the inital comment, I had something like the PVL tutorials in mind. You've provided a great resource with those. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 09, 09:55

You should go to the Movies board more, Flash. Rumor has it they're making a movie about you. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 09, 09:57

and that's when you could only buy 50000 shares at a time... seems easier for newbies now.... catch a goog opener and you can double your $ {nm} Tarheels Jun 12, 01:09

**good {nm} Tarheels Jun 12, 01:10

There's only a handful of people who've done it, you should set a more realistic goal... {nm} slappydavid Jun 09, 08:38

$999M then maybe? {nm} Dave3626 Jun 09, 09:17

500M would be considered great IMO... {nm} slappydavid Jun 09, 16:35

I won't argue that. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 09, 17:28

Okay, here goes: First, make a billion dollars. Second, do it in 1 year or less. Tanker Jun 09, 08:58

Going out on a limb here, I know, buuuuut, I think a tutorial is usually more in-depth than what you just put forth.. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 09, 09:52

I'm having problems with step #1. {nm} elchan Jun 09, 11:57

Step one is always the hardest. Btw elchan, do you play the news? Good, quick way to beef up the port. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 09, 13:20

Dave3626, you mean, "Buy on rumour, sell on news"?(or the equiv. in shorts) What are good sources of news? elchan Jun 09, 14:36

What I mean is......... Dave3626 Jun 09, 15:34

Good tip. Do you find it easier than playing the Weekend Openers? What's typical pop, percentage-wise, you can get out of news like that? {nm} elchan Jun 09, 16:03

A more experienced player would ddo better giving you the hard numbers, but.......... Dave3626 Jun 09, 16:17

Post Script Dave3626 Jun 09, 17:31

I'll give it a try now that I have a few extra millions to play with. {nm} elchan Jun 09, 18:25

Just tried this on MOBYD and HRTSE. Working out very well today. ;-) Thnx! {nm} elchan Jun 11, 16:59

New to "shorting" so if i short Prometheus OW at 57 and it makes 40 then i make 17 per share? {nm} CommonAnomaly Jun 08, 13:33

Yes. {nm} PVL Admin Jun 08, 13:45

Interesting, so you've been playing for 4 years, and build a $35M portfolio, without making a short trade? {nm} elchan Jun 08, 16:41

I played with friends years ago and wasn't very serious. Started again a couple weeks ago and learning for real. {nm} CommonAnomaly Jun 08, 17:13

have you ever readt hrough the glossary at the bottom of the page? it helps islander Jun 07, 06:15

VVV goes there. whoops {nm} islander Jun 07, 06:16

Thank you Ttaaggggeerr Jun 07, 06:22

you're welcome. main things: remember the $250M cap (like even though avengers has done over 500M, only the first 250 counts towards those islander Jun 07, 06:35

Starbonds - How are they Calculated? Ttaaggggeerr Jun 07, 05:39

Long discussion below with some interesting links to KaiGee web site. You should have a look. elchan Jun 08, 16:03

Hoping to preserve my first million dollar day so no one sell any movie stocks I own for the next 3 hours!! {nm} CommonAnomaly Jun 06, 20:52

1 1/2 hrs to go - Good Luck!! {nm} JDolphin Jun 06, 22:26

lol, ive just got back into top 500 position. so like you no one sell anything please {nm} swordfish1 Jun 07, 01:33

What if they sell something you are holding short? {nm} PVL Admin Jun 07, 05:26

well its all gone wrong today. one step forward, 2 million backwards ouch {nm} swordfish1 Jun 07, 08:08

I hear ya. 1M backwards for me. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 07, 09:56

make that 1.5 {nm} Dave3626 Jun 07, 10:48
