lost ground yet again. back to one step forward two steps back. as jack bauer would say, Damn it {nm} swordfish1 May 10, 13:54

Anytime I lose ground it is due to a re-org and commissions killing me. Same happen to you, or were you holding fast movers wrong? {nm} arf May 10, 19:10

no same as you. plus two stocks that I held right but day trade went loopy lol {nm} swordfish1 May 11, 00:16

Then it's mostly getting the cruft out of your port, and researching each purchase for at least a few minutes, same for selling. -more- arf May 12, 09:05

What is TBAM? SavageSage May 10, 07:25

to be announced monday. likely hsx wants to see how well it does this weekend, so it can set a fair strike price {nm} islander May 10, 07:29

I don't know how you guys make up stuff like this.... RazorHawk May 10, 08:29

well then... opps ;) {nm} islander May 10, 08:47

Really, islander, what were you thinking? ;-) {nm} Dave3626 May 10, 10:53

I figured it was just To Be Announced...the M is the usual abbreviation that's there for millions...D.Mac must still be deciding {nm} tealfan May 10, 08:32

nice name {nm} DASavage May 10, 12:36

nice name {nm} DASavage May 10, 12:36

nice name {nm} DASavage May 10, 12:36

nice name {nm} DASavage May 10, 12:36

Yeah, but what do you really think about the name? {nm} Dave3626 May 10, 13:20

Thank you, appreciate the education. {nm} SavageSage May 11, 10:51

If you want to "flip" is it necessary to... BorderLand May 09, 11:19

You can own the max # of shares long and short if you so choose. You don't have to sell anything in order to short. {nm} BSmurf May 09, 11:22

yeah i know, but... BorderLand May 09, 11:23

you can short with whatever available cash you have and just hold onto your original position...not called a "flip" alfpaulytd2012 May 09, 11:27

i agree with your second point, just seeing some of the... BorderLand May 09, 11:32

"Flip" just means you REVERSE your postion, so if you were long 100K shares and decided to flip, you'd sell it and then short 100K. {nm} Dave3626 May 09, 11:48

As you can see from EdZep's post below which was here way before mine, but like a moron I forgot to read everything before I wrote. {nm} Dave3626 May 09, 11:50

To flip is 2 transactions: Sell + short, or Buy + cover. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! May 09, 11:23

It takes about 0.14 seconds to complete the operation with PortMonkey, unless you need the cash, then wait for the UST Minute tick -more- arf May 09, 17:33

HSX Speed: Shortcuts - The HSX Dude RazorHawk May 09, 09:52

Very, very helpful. I use Firefox, and I have bookmarks across the top of the browser, but I didn;t know you could utilize folders there. Dave3626 May 09, 10:21

thx!...put red over your shortcut to the Uwe Boll fansite huh? =P {nm} tealfan May 09, 12:39

Get the Tree Style Tab plugin so all your tabs are down the right edge, and you can REALLY fly, I have dozens open, half to movie sites. {nm} arf May 09, 17:29

LEFT EDGE. I meant left edge is where the tabs go, makes better use of widescreen displays. Related tabs "fold" so unused don't take space {nm} arf May 09, 17:29

day traders slow down I can't keep up lol. i'm being killed out there {nm} swordfish1 May 09, 01:39

It's technically still reset trading because we work off of Pacific time. Day trading will commence in a few hours... {nm} PVL Admin May 09, 01:42

I should really move to usa then i'll stand a fighting chance lol. trying to work and sell stocks at sametime dont mix {nm} swordfish1 May 09, 02:29

dare I say you move here soon, so that you may reset trade as well!! {nm} DASavage May 09, 02:35

booking my ticket lol {nm} swordfish1 May 09, 04:40

what do u mean by "reset trading?" i've always been confused by that. {nm} BorderLand May 09, 11:17

A move to Canada makes more sense. Less Crazies and, oh yeah, a bazillion less guns. {nm} RotoHockey May 09, 05:20

blame Canada {nm} DASavage May 09, 07:37

"But that doesn't mean Americans are more violent than other people. We're just better shots." {nm} BSmurf May 09, 07:57

Question about Starbonds and official adjusts... Trentacus May 08, 11:06

Your post is confusing... RazorHawk May 08, 11:32

Sorry for the confusion, just trying to be detailed. Thanks Razor, you answered my question though! {nm} Trentacus May 08, 11:37

Hmm... Any way to tell about long term other than just in the next week as shown in Market Calendar? {nm} Trentacus May 08, 11:39

Yep. Look at a moviestock that is being released in the timeframe you are seeking, look at the starbonds attached, and try to guess what Paul2k May 08, 11:46

sure.... RazorHawk May 08, 11:48

You could also browse through the StarBonds section of http://kaigee.com/ {nm} fred_ott May 08, 11:54

Yep, yep!!! {nm} KaiGee May 08, 18:55

League question (because I can't remember how this works) When you invite people to the league, the invitation pops up on their league page? Dave3626 May 08, 10:22

the league invite is sent to the email address that they used to sign up for an HSX account {nm} RazorHawk May 08, 10:53

Ah-ha. Thanks, RazorHawk. {nm} Dave3626 May 08, 10:56

...AND the league is listed in their league page with "accept/decline" options (links) {nm} PVL Admin May 08, 11:44

And thank you, too, Rocket. {nm} Dave3626 May 08, 12:41

All you folks retuning to HSX from hiatus... you'll appreciate Port Monkey... edzep - Port Monkey! May 08, 09:25

You really will. It's a Godsend! {nm} arf May 08, 09:46

I second that. {nm} Dave3626 May 08, 10:16

Would that make me god, or just inspired by? Oh... edzep - Port Monkey! May 08, 13:53

Thirded. {nm} Paul2k May 08, 11:44

when a MST gets bad news and there is a short interest, does it usually pop up for awhile, before it sinks? {nm} jwammo May 08, 05:05

ill answer my own question, looking at some MSTs, the answer is, very often, yes. jwammo May 08, 11:56

Wow. That was some of the hardest, fastest flipping I've seen. {nm} Paul2k May 08, 01:14

What about the Sunday adjust #? Does that ever get modified to reflect the actual? berndog62 May 07, 16:28

after the opening weekend adjust (based on ERC Sunday estimates), the stock is moved by market forces until delist {nm} lapuckfan May 07, 16:33

I've never seen a bigger difference between the adjust and the actual. berndog62 May 07, 16:45

No, once the adjust is made, it's done, unless there was a typo/gross error. Actual gross is used for the .OW cashout {nm} arf May 07, 20:24

Do AVENGERS weekend actuals {nm} berndog62 May 07, 14:14

Do the AVENGER derivatives cash outs at Monday's actuals or Sunday's estimate? berndog62 May 07, 14:19

Actuals {nm} slappydavid May 07, 14:35

Actuals. Sometimes you make a bit more with the .OW, sometimes you lose a bit, it's mostly a wash, if not more for the players. {nm} arf May 07, 15:34

Only once did I play the OW warrant AND call it right at the same time I called the opener correctly. Once. So sad....... {nm} Dave3626 May 07, 16:17

Hello Dave3626....who were you before you were you? :-) {nm} Pandorawc May 07, 17:31

I need another cup of coffee before I can answer a question that existential. You know, the best part of waking up is hardly Dave3626 May 08, 08:15

It was more interesting when the stock halted on Friday night, before the .OW was added, WAY more interesting weekend. {nm} arf May 07, 20:25

I agree with you. On the other hand, it's easier now to make money and I like that. {nm} Dave3626 May 08, 08:17

Interesting thought about HSX: BorderLand May 07, 14:09

Imagine what will happen when AVNGR delists. The index would collapse :) RogerMore May 07, 14:29

Will take a look at that, never thought of that, Thanks... {nm} BorderLand May 07, 14:33

AVNGR is one out of how many hundreds of active movie stocks? I don't think it would have that big an effect on an average. {nm} DTravel May 07, 16:39

The DOW and similar indexes simply give an average of x businesses stock values. SBOs would work, but movies delist. {nm} arf May 07, 21:57

What stocks would you include in this index? petz May 09, 02:56

Yeah, it's a tad bit different than.. BorderLand May 09, 11:24

Break it down by phase - All Released Movies Avg, All Movies With a Release Date; All Movies in Production Vice Principal DTravel May 11, 09:30

If BOMojo says one thing and the HSX says another (for movie sales), Which is the one they adjust to on the delist? {nm} Ryan_Stewart May 07, 13:55

HSX uses ERC numbers alfpaulytd2012 May 07, 14:01

Too bad. I really like the way BOMojo lists the day to day earnings. Does ERC do that? I'm perusing their site now {nm} Ryan_Stewart May 07, 14:09

Honestly don't remember alfpaulytd2012 May 07, 14:14

(Ryan quickly closing his ERC window...) {nm} Ryan_Stewart May 07, 14:22

Why hasn't Avengers stock moved today? 121Jigowatts May 07, 07:37

nvm, I see others in the movies forum have posted about the same issue since very early this morning. Apparently we're still waiting. {nm} 121Jigowatts May 07, 07:41

How much do you personally think it will drop or climb? {nm} Kewlleo May 07, 08:13

I'd say today minus 20, delist around 450. {nm} 121Jigowatts May 07, 09:18

GOAL FOR TODAY: hope to finish the day in the "GREEN" after OW adjust!! DASavage May 07, 06:56

It's been a bullish day; I'm sure you'll make green {nm} Ryan_Stewart May 07, 13:54

good looking out!! up$11.3 millions b4 adjusts. good luck all. {nm} DASavage May 07, 15:52

An interesting thought/question about call/put Kewlleo May 07, 05:10

almost did it for avengers. IRL options traders call it a 'straddle'. Good for when a big move is coming. {nm} jwammo May 07, 06:01

I do both call and put on most every movie. $20k is cheap "at least I didn't get totally screwed" insurance. :) {nm} arf May 07, 09:15

Congrats to mrbinns on (I believe) breaking 22mil+ made in a day yesterday. Do you know what your final tally was? Anyone top it? {nm} Paul2k May 07, 02:02

That's a good way to make my best day ever look like crap... :) Well done mrbinns, definitily one of the best! {nm} slappydavid May 07, 04:58

Not me - and yesterday was my second-best day ever. Congrats mrbinns. {nm} Roger More May 07, 06:17

I was over 19 b4 flipping! H$18,469,942 (1.12%)...hats off to mrbinns {nm} DASavage May 07, 06:47

when I went to bed last night me, you and binns were neck and neck at $21mill RazorHawk May 07, 09:16

Dear lord. What was the driving force for that momentous day? {nm} Paul2k May 07, 09:19

Is there still no-commission days? When? {nm} ABbond May 06, 13:02

sorry, none. commission free ended maybe 1 1/2 years ago, there abouts islander May 06, 13:11

quick primer of changes since you played RazorHawk May 06, 13:21

Stocks below $2 the commission is a minimum $0.02 per share. {nm} DTravel May 06, 13:24

I felt relieved and sad to see them go, it's more even now without crazy stock movements each week. {nm} arf May 06, 13:19

Nice to see your post. Hope all is well. Lots of little bonds? {nm} Buy StarBond Fund 18 May 06, 15:01

welcome back; I miss your old site {nm} daveart May 07, 08:57
