Start Spreading the News He's leaving tomorrow....Congratulations to ...NY NY and Andrew Geller... Jun 13, 11:32
Well done! Thanks for the H$! {nm} Jun 13, 15:57
Great job {nm} Jun 14, 06:19
Portfolio for sale on eBay - H$1.7 Billion Jun 13, 10:52
Do you take H$? {nm} Jun 13, 11:01
Yes, but at a 2:1 exchange only, otherwise US$ via PayPal {NM} Jun 13, 11:08
This is not allowed hsx selling account? Is that against ebay rules anyway {nm} Jun 13, 12:01
I wrote first to HSX for permission. More inside... Jun 13, 12:22
Well, the sale price will set the exchange rate for $H to USD. ;-) {nm} 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] Jun 13, 13:08
And I obviously meant the time was the early 2000s :) {nm} Jun 15, 07:44
I guess I never really understood the point of jumping the line like this... Whats the point? {nm} 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. ;-) Jun 13, 14:58
What about adding him to your trader watchlist? Jun 13, 15:46
I don't think the account name changes, actually. {nm} 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: 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} Jun 13, 16:52
You're welcome :) {nm} Jun 14, 05:33
See, I just changed my uname to elchan2012. {nm} Jun 13, 17:21
Ahh, yeah, I forgot you you could change it (but one time only) {nm} Jun 14, 05:32
He's got three bids... So some people believe there is value is not working for anything :) {nm} Jun 13, 16:50
A Kardashian joke would fit in well here.. {nm} Jun 14, 05:34
The current bid is about 6 orders of magnitude below what I would sell my port for {nm} Jun 13, 19:00
Up to 5 bids now: $1.25 for H$1.7 Billion... Jun 14, 01:38
HSX would probably put a stop to this, if it happens too often. {nm} Jun 14, 08:46
15 years of your life. You only get 6 bucks. Lol on ebay. {nm} Jun 14, 12:24
How do you buy a stock that isn't released yet? Jun 13, 07:26
No, unfortunately you can't buy it until it becomes active. {nm} 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} 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} Jun 13, 08:24
Why would you want to preorder a stock that wont change in value until its release? {nm} Jun 13, 08:28
They probably won't have access to the internet over the weekend. It's happened to me before. {nm} Jun 13, 10:09
You have to use a flex capacitor and 1.21 gigawatts and a DeLorean. {nm} Jun 13, 08:30
YES!!!!! Finally cross over the $1bil mark today... :) {nm} Jun 12, 18:32
Mazel tov! :) {nm} Jun 12, 18:33
Good one - Jingo! {nm} Jun 12, 19:17
Congrats! {nm} Jun 12, 19:19
Well done! {nm} Jun 12, 19:24
congrats! {nm} Jun 12, 21:10
congratulations! onto 2 billion! {nm} Jun 13, 06:11
Congrats.Keep it up {nm} Jun 13, 06:33
Congratulations! {nm} Jun 13, 13:27
Good job! {nm} Jun 13, 18:03
Avengers Blockbuster Derivitive Jun 12, 17:17
ARB? {nm} Jun 12, 17:51
check out the link, its an HSX glossary, its pretty helpful. 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. Jun 12, 19:51
I like bw's. Most of the time you have enough data to judge where the strike price sits. {nm} Jun 12, 20:47
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} Jun 14, 11:32
I'm at around 400M for the year so far. I'm hoping to be a billionaire by sep/oct... Jun 12, 17:45
I hope that you manage to achieve that goal :) And thanks :) {nm} 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} Jun 12, 14:50
Maybe that's part of their genius, to set up a portfolio that doesn't need constant monitoring. ;-) {nm} Jun 12, 15:00
get use to it. happens to me often and I hate it {nm} Jun 13, 01:05
MIB3 delist estimate calculation Jun 12, 10:02
There's not much meat on the bones for buying into MIB3, at this point, IMO. {nm} 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} Jun 12, 11:25
I'm in zombie territory. All the players around me are dead. I'm scared. {nm} Jun 12, 08:25
Don't feel special its happening everywhere but at least you can make easy place gains with the inactive {nm} Jun 12, 08:30
It would be boring playing against zombies, better find a better motivation. ;-) {nm} Jun 12, 09:23
Make more money and find those still active and put them on your watchlist {nm} Jun 12, 11:34
Exactly what I've been doing. ;-) {nm} Jun 12, 15:19
just looked - me too ... Jun 12, 13:02
Are you really HJOSM ??? {nm} Jun 12, 13:48
whats HJOSM ?{nm} Jun 12, 14:17
Is the number of active players really fallen off? Jun 12, 01:06
and one thing I don't miss is the 20 posts saying 'first' {nm} Jun 12, 01:58
FIRST!!! {nm} Jun 12, 06:24
That's funny...I think I actually GOT a first one time! {nm} Jun 12, 07:58
I wonder if I fall into the burnt out catagory lol {nm} Jun 12, 06:59
Activity Jun 12, 10:37
Professor Frink, RazorHawk and Paul2k, right on my ****. You guys are killing me. {nm} Jun 11, 20:38
Well, if you have to get beaten, get beaten by the best {nm} Jun 11, 22:40
+1 {nm} Jun 11, 22:44
WBROX fund weekly update Jun 11, 09:34
Free Hbo and Cinemax This weekend. Check your local cable/Satelline June8/11/2012 {nm} Jun 10, 15:40
Wrong board... {nm} 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} Jun 10, 21:00
for some reason, on Directv, they were still showing for free as of 7 am this Monday morning {nm} Jun 11, 08:36
DirectTv has it free thru the end of the day today. {nm} Jun 11, 11:27
I DVRed 'Set It Off' from HBO last night {nm} Jun 11, 13:26
Free Showtime next weekend! {nm} 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} 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. Jun 09, 12:01
Woo Hoo! {nm} Jun 10, 07:04
same with me. just cant be bothered at minute as im always in the red {nm} Jun 09, 15:47
For some but not for others {nm} Jun 10, 10:07
Yeah, I was obviously talking about myself, venting the frustration... {nm} Jun 10, 10:08
Congratulations to JMT and SQUEL for hitting 100. Nice job. {nm} Jun 09, 05:48
Well done JMT! {nm} Jun 09, 08:35
Someone should write a tutorial along the lines of How to Make a $1Billion in 1 Year or Less. 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} 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} 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} 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} Jun 09, 09:12
You should go to the Movies board more, Flash. Rumor has it they're making a movie about you. {nm} Jun 09, 09:57
**good {nm} Jun 12, 01:10
There's only a handful of people who've done it, you should set a more realistic goal... {nm} Jun 09, 08:38
$999M then maybe? {nm} Jun 09, 09:17
500M would be considered great IMO... {nm} Jun 09, 16:35
I won't argue that. {nm} Jun 09, 17:28
Okay, here goes: First, make a billion dollars. Second, do it in 1 year or less. 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} Jun 09, 09:52
I'm having problems with step #1. {nm} 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} Jun 09, 13:20
Dave3626, you mean, "Buy on rumour, sell on news"?(or the equiv. in shorts) What are good sources of news? Jun 09, 14:36
What I mean is......... Jun 09, 15:34
A more experienced player would ddo better giving you the hard numbers, but.......... Jun 09, 16:17
Post Script Jun 09, 17:31
I'll give it a try now that I have a few extra millions to play with. {nm} Jun 09, 18:25
Just tried this on MOBYD and HRTSE. Working out very well today. ;-) Thnx! {nm} 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} Jun 08, 13:33
Yes. {nm} Jun 08, 13:45
Interesting, so you've been playing for 4 years, and build a $35M portfolio, without making a short trade? {nm} 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} Jun 08, 17:13
have you ever readt hrough the glossary at the bottom of the page? it helps Jun 07, 06:15
VVV goes there. whoops {nm} Jun 07, 06:16
Thank you Jun 07, 06:22
Starbonds - How are they Calculated? Jun 07, 05:39
Long discussion below with some interesting links to KaiGee web site. You should have a look. 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} Jun 06, 20:52
