So, anyone know what php search will help me find what funds a particular movie is in {nm} elchan May 28, 17:31

Dang, this half-percent is slow and hard! DTravel May 26, 19:50

I hear you, and it only gets tougher. I've been slowly moving though 98% for a while now, just got into the top 2500... {nm} slappydavid May 27, 04:53

I want peoples advice on Bad Boys 3. RobertRIght May 25, 18:51

There are lots of ways to invest... Buy and hold (what you are talking about) is a tough way to go when you start, because you are locking dioneta May 25, 19:39

Be sure to read all the news. Good news moves stocks up and bad news moves stocks down. Flip when required. {nm} PVL Admin May 26, 00:19

...and no news tends to bleed stocks slowly. {nm} PVL Admin May 26, 00:20

Just like real stock market, the longer you hold a stock, the higher the risk. You should expect higher return. elchan May 26, 18:21

And even more savvy folk Short it on the way back down :) {nm} sberg23 May 27, 08:26

A question about movies with no reported b.o. taranev May 25, 16:25

Last year there were about 4 that reported late. This year, we have had 2 so far....but once you get about 5 weeks in,....Fugggetttabout it {nm} Buy StarBond Fund 18 May 25, 21:24

OK thanks. {nm} taranev May 26, 01:39

There were a few movies with Zero B.O. but reported elsewhere (BOM, etc.). Affects Stock Price but not StarBonds. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 May 26, 21:17

How do the starbonds work? I can't seem to find an explanation of the calcs on the website. thanks {nm} GMov May 25, 09:00

Link inside Dave3626 May 25, 09:16

thanks {nm} GMov May 25, 09:25

You've done pretty decently for not knowing how Starbonds work. Just remember, knowing is half the battle! {nm} Paul2k May 25, 09:27

Also, now you're playing with power! {nm} Paul2k May 25, 09:27

And, Turtles in a half shell- Turtle power! {nm} Paul2k May 25, 09:28

Introducing the brand new hsxmetrics.com!! jwammo May 24, 13:05

Nice work :-) Very nice. {nm} Dave3626 May 24, 13:41

hey thanks! {nm} jwammo May 24, 13:45

Interesting. Are you getting a feed from HSX for the prices, or grabbing it yourself? Also, a note about your tip: Paul2k May 24, 14:06

shhh, its super-secret. To be honest, I wrote the tips section up real quick so I had enough for the ads. jwammo May 24, 15:04

shhh, its super-secret. To be honest, I wrote the tips section up real quick so I had enough for the ads. jwammo May 24, 15:04

not sure how it works here, IRL, the bid and ask differences get larger with the stock price, so price erosion is a factor. {nm} jwammo May 24, 16:08

Here, the amount that a stock goes up (or down) does scale with price, but the price tiers at which the scaling occurs is unknown by me. Paul2k May 24, 16:40

interesting. Shorting here is also different than IRL, which is why it makes sense to cover/re-short {nm} jwammo May 24, 16:45

If anyone is interested in writing a tip or two for the tips page, I would gladly put it up : ) {nm} jwammo May 24, 15:05

Times when (%change)/(time) is the maximum are 1) at reset, 2) at time of news posting, and 3) the day(s) before/after adjust {nm} PRodNano May 24, 16:23

Cool site, btw {nm} PRodNano May 24, 16:24

Hey thanks, I've written down your tip. When I get a page full, I'll update the site, and include your handle. {nm} jwammo May 24, 16:26

thx!...small typo...on the Favorites page, you used the Flash ticker symbol for Highlander (but the link is correct) :) {nm} tealfan May 24, 22:38

fixed, thanks! {nm} jwammo May 25, 05:32

A possible "suggestion" for you. Perhaps make your colums 'sortable'...like HSX..so Flash May 25, 08:34

yeah, its on the list. {nm} jwammo May 25, 09:13

updating went down for a bit. Its back up, but will need some time before hour changes show up. {nm} jwammo May 25, 09:24

I am only seening tings on Home, Tips and Favorites...no stocks. {nm} Buy StarBond Fund 18 May 25, 11:26

what browser are you using? currently it doesn't work with IE 8 or lower, just IE 9, Chrome, FF, etc. {nm} jwammo May 25, 11:27

fixed for IE 8, try it now! {nm} jwammo May 25, 11:46

Any chance of you doing the same for Starbonds please? Rednax Jun 14, 07:04

The African American Fund [AFRAM] Update: Week 13 (5/24/12) - The HSX Dude RazorHawk May 24, 07:48

Not clear on how StarBonds work. Take CTHER for instance... elchan May 24, 05:44

If her current tag is $27 and her new projected tag is $50 then she adjusts her new tag at +$23. {nm} laujer May 24, 05:59

But bear in mind that a movie is only included in the adjust after 4 weekends (12 weekends for limited) SCIFund May 24, 06:39

So that mean CTHER will be worth $50 after the TAG adjust, if SWTHM makes $150M after 4 weeks? {nm} elchan May 24, 07:04

A bit less - SWHTM would have to make around 200 to adjust to around 50 {nm} SCIFund May 24, 07:12

For CTHER, moviestock count in TAG is 5. SWHTM replaces SEATL, and PROME replaces BRNPL ... fred_ott May 24, 07:10

Ok, I think I get it now. A moving average with a minimum window of 3 films, and a maximum of 5. A little complicated, but now I get it. {nm} elchan May 24, 07:37

It's a little hard to keep track though. Is there an archive of 4 week grosses somewhere? {nm} elchan May 24, 07:39

Kaigee's site (amongst others which are very useful; hsxdude's is another) IMHO is great to track this info ... fred_ott May 24, 07:48

Links? {nm} elchan May 24, 07:49

HSX Fan Sites Link inside message ... fred_ott May 24, 07:54

No, you don't 100% get it alfpaulytd2012 May 24, 08:18

So that means if SWTHM and PROME does well, it could be pretty lucrative for the CTHER starbond. {nm} elchan May 24, 10:40

Profitable yeah, but shouldn't be your only consideration alfpaulytd2012 May 24, 10:56

...what he said....TAGS are actually updated every week that a movie is in release. So if FARRE were to be BUY StarBondFund May 24, 10:55

How is a Movie Stock treated if it first started limited, and then goes wide after? Does the weeks reset? {nm} elchan May 22, 15:32

In a fashion. If a limited movie goes wide, it will adjust according to the formula on the calendar on its wide weekend, and then delist 3 Paul2k May 22, 15:47

Yes - if a limited release expands to wide, it will delist after 4 weekends of wide release. {nm} RogerMore May 22, 15:47

So are the previous week's gross added to the total gross? {nm} elchan May 22, 16:46

Check out the calendar, and then report what you find. In other words, here's a fishing rod, my friend. Let's see what you can do with it. {nm} Paul2k May 22, 17:00

We're not allowed to talk about specific stock movement, but I think everyone know which one I'm eyeing. {nm} elchan May 22, 17:11

Not only does the delist date change, but the release date becomes the date of wide release, now and forevermore. So... Buy StarBond Fund 18 May 23, 05:16

Yeah, I heard that TBEMH is a good movie. I liked the trailer. {nm} elchan May 23, 12:29

you "heard" from who? {nm} RazorHawk May 23, 19:12

A friend of a friend of a friend. {nm} elchan May 23, 19:45

Read the book {nm} blaze223 May 24, 01:18

Is anyone having problems buing MIB3 long?[nm] rtbgamer76 May 21, 08:20

please check the SUPPORT board to see if any other traders are reporting problems {nm} RazorHawk May 21, 08:45

Hee, just noticed I have 599 securities held. Thinking I should find a penny stock to buy just to round it to 600. :) {nm} DTravel May 20, 08:42

Okay, once again, when something opens a couple days early, you take F-Su * 2.7 +W and Th to get adjust price? {nm} Ryan_Stewart May 19, 15:19

adjusts are spelled out each week on the calendar (listed under the day the adjusts occurs) {nm} RazorHawk May 19, 16:32

hmmm...my math says people got a little too bullish today {nm} Ryan_Stewart May 19, 16:48

Generally yes w/1 exception alfpaulytd2012 May 19, 16:51

Pmetric and Pgame updates PRodQuanta May 17, 15:49

No worries, we'll be waiting for you! {nm} slappydavid May 17, 17:37

We care! But we also understand, PRodNano. {nm} PVL Admin May 17, 20:18

Maybe just my handle, for now. {nm} PRodNano May 17, 22:21

Thanks for the update. Hope you find time for fun. {nm} Ryan_Stewart May 19, 22:16

The target for The Avengers $520M Blockbuster Warrant is ridiculously high! {nm} dcfilm001 May 15, 18:35

Actually it's ridiculously low IMO... remember BW cashes out after 12 weeks of release... {nm} slappydavid May 15, 18:41

It might be twelve weeks but spider man and batman hit toward the end of the run taking money away {nm} blaze223 May 16, 06:30

Agreed, but I've read some conservative expectations placing it at around 500M for 4 weeks, seems like a piece of cake from there on... {nm} slappydavid May 16, 07:02

Shh...let them think it's high so that they short it! {nm} Paul2k May 16, 07:45

I estimate it will hit the target on or shortly after the fifth weekend-that leaves 6-7 weeks for gravy. {nm} forlorne May 17, 09:53

.....................And someone shorts the BW oh i love naive optimism {nm} blaze223 May 17, 11:49

Oh, please. HGAME.BW will delist roughly within 5% of adjust JohnTEQP May 20, 15:47

It just has to make about $7M a week for another 9 week to reach $520. Really think that's not going to happen? {nm} elchan May 23, 19:50

Is there an article somewhere on the specifics of how running a fund works... rtbgamer76 May 15, 12:34

A fund basically works like a normal port, except you can only invest in the securities the fund theme allows you. I think RazorHawk has an slappydavid May 15, 13:47

How Funds Work - The HSX Dude RazorHawk May 15, 15:11

A manager does not make money off of a fund. JohnTEQP May 16, 19:34

I made a suggestion about that last year... but it was shot down (link inside) RazorHawk May 17, 08:54

Finder Was just Cancelled Barndolph May 13, 22:17

Link? is that 16 Fox shows, including AI or not including AI? {nm} Buy StarBond Fund 18 May 13, 23:53

Hey who was it that used to run BBUST fund? {nm} Dave3626 May 12, 14:49

short version: two players who have been inactive for years long version inside RazorHawk May 12, 19:36

Thank you for going through the trouble of the long version. {nm} Dave3626 May 13, 02:43

TOLKN is managed by a former BBUST manager. {nm} Antibody May 15, 10:57

Ah, Moghul. {nm} Dave3626 May 15, 17:28

Very interesting story, thanks RH. {nm} JohnTEQP May 16, 19:36

What abotu the ADJUST fund? Is it coming back? {nm} arf May 15, 11:56

You ever think of making that "a" an uppercase "A"? {nm} Dave3626 May 15, 17:29

technically, 'arf' should be 'ARF' since it is an abbreviation {nm} RazorHawk May 15, 18:12

technically it's an acronym, but I see your point. {nm} Dave3626 May 16, 05:55

of course I guess you could say an acronym is still an abbreviation of sorts, right? There should be a grammar board for these discussions. {nm} Dave3626 May 16, 05:57

I always assumed it was onomatopoeia {nm} Jane_Citizen May 16, 22:53

Hey Jane, Would it be possible to join your Aussie League again? {nm} RayanSyed May 21, 18:01

For IPO's do shorts not count as a sold share for the stock? Dvdtalk_gcribbs May 11, 22:16

No they don't. Truth is stranger than fiction {nm} Buy StarBond Fund 18 May 12, 05:39

sorting the list of moviestocks by phase, price, etc. rich1948 May 11, 05:33

I meant to post that on the support board....oops. The question still stands. (nm) rich1948 May 11, 05:40

right next to search field on top you'll see 'advanced' link. should work for what you are trying to do. {nm} Oleg Max May 11, 05:49

That's exactly it! Thanks very much (nm) rich1948 May 11, 06:12

70m shares traded today, Rattybatty? Doing some port cleaning? {nm} Paul2k May 10, 14:55

I wish that stat had an extra column for "Commission on trades", HSX makes trillions a day in trades, maybe make it 1% just when selling. {nm} arf May 10, 19:11

HSX lives in a golden castle made out of pixels. With a treasury full of zeroes and ones. {nm} Jane_Citizen May 11, 04:49

Digital poetry, that's what that post is ;-) {nm} Dave3626 May 11, 04:51

It's certainly true that I typed it with me fingers! {nm} Jane_Citizen May 11, 21:33

Repeat after me: "It's only PLAY money...it's only play money." :-) {nm} Flash May 11, 07:40

but it hurts when we lose so much lol {nm} swordfish1 May 11, 08:12

It's more realistic with commissions. Otherwise people would be flipping, like crazy, and increase market volatility. {nm} elchan May 11, 17:31

You need to join the Fast Traders League. If you flip a stocks most days, and get in on old stocks climbing, you qualify. {nm} arf May 11, 19:41

Turns out I don;t like being an administrator. So I disbanded it. Whydon't you start up a different one and be the CEO, I'll stick to Dave3626 May 12, 05:51

Just trying something different. RattyBatty May 12, 04:58
