there was a fund that did something close to what you are talking about. RHAWK Apr 27, 09:08

looks like he did pretty well, thanks for the info! {nm} jwammo Apr 27, 09:13

After so long, I jinxed myself, and saw blood. -more- arf Apr 27, 00:22

Box office that counts toward the TAG is capped at $250M. {nm} Antibody Apr 26, 14:10

Thanks for an actual answer. {nm} 12ptCourier Apr 26, 19:16

Why is that rule in place? Do you think you are congress and can manipulate the market all you want? :) {nm} arf Apr 26, 23:13

To put a limit on the gains from Starbonds. The point of HSX is for traders to invest in Moviestocks, so HSX can gather data on what is RogerMore Apr 27, 05:45

Here is a resource for Not Ready for Prime Time Fund [SNL] RazorHawk Apr 26, 09:52

RDOWN ???? RDOWN ! That means the fund only has to make one investment and ride the gravy train for the next few weeks. {nm} Buy StarBond Fund 18 Apr 26, 10:01

Yeah, but he still needs to get to 100m after that. A leg up at the start would cut down on desertions as well. {nm} arf Apr 26, 10:40

We can look up this post in a couple of weeks..... Buy StarBond Fund 18 Apr 26, 13:09

videos of Robert Downey Jr (20 years old) as a cast member on Saturday Night Live (1985-1986) RazorHawk Apr 26, 11:08

and three more (i think) have been IPO'd since then, BHADE, SMEYE and RRIGG, plus the BCRYS re-IPO Andre C Apr 26, 13:04

Thanks, I forgot that some had IPOed since that article was posted. {nm} RHAWK Apr 26, 15:30

de nada. you did the heavy lifting! {nm} Andre C Apr 26, 16:57

Thanks for the heads-up. I remembered Downey but I did not realize Stiller did a season on SNL. {nm} SNLFund Apr 26, 18:53

Is it typical for you guys after several days of strong growth to level off for a few days? {nm} EthanHunt Apr 26, 08:13

Not always...but sometimes it happens... I get nervous if I'm not in the "green" every day..and I work towards that end... {nm} Flash Apr 26, 08:40

ABC......always be closing! don't hesitate to dump a loser. RESET,RESET,RESET! {nm} DASavage Apr 26, 08:45

As long as you're gaining more than you're losing, you're doing something right! {nm} Your Boss Apr 26, 09:37

Depends on the size of your port and time available. I should be climbing, but am sitting this weekend out, my week w/kid. -more- arf Apr 26, 09:42

I try and turn the reds quickly into greens or just dump the deadwood {nm} swordfish1 Apr 26, 09:53

Do you have Port Monkey? I haven't had a red day since I added it. The Intra-Day graphs are life savers! {nm} arf Apr 26, 10:58

No...what is port monkey? {nm} EthanHunt Apr 26, 23:41

Blockbuster Warrants Question Arayel Apr 25, 05:39

Weekday box office is included as well. {nm} stevie1der328 Apr 25, 05:40

its total b.o. at 12 weeks... {nm} Oleg Max Apr 25, 06:20

Well, the 12th Mon-Thur do not count. {nm} Antibody Apr 25, 16:43

12 week total, it defines the warrant better, as well as a giving solid de-list date. {nm} arf Apr 25, 14:29

"The Warrant will cash out after its 12th weekend of release." So it is Cume after actuals of the 12th weekend. ... Buy StarBond Fund 18 Apr 25, 16:57

Before the 12 week, didn't BW's cash out once theater releases stopped? Some would go on a long time in long legged movies? {nm} arf Apr 25, 22:01

When I first started at HSX, GRNHW was the big thing. I looked it up. It delisted on 2/20/01, in its 14th week of release for GRNCH Buy StarBond Fund 18 Apr 26, 05:22

Didn't the-numbers used to show "Similar Movie Box Office Results" when looking at their estimated de-lists, or another site? -more- arf Apr 24, 23:28

It was...In fact HGAME was compared to SPID3 Buy StarBond Fund 18 Apr 25, 05:26

Got any tips on what your thumb rule is? {nm} arf Apr 25, 14:30

Quick rule of thumb.... Buy StarBond Fund 18 Apr 25, 16:36

That's Awesome, thank you much! {nm} arf Apr 25, 19:44

Can you set a buy order in advance if you can't get on when a stock becomes active? {nm} friar22 Apr 24, 22:44

The advanced trader and I don't get along. I believe the security needs to be currently active for it to set up the trade, -more- arf Apr 24, 23:32

This ^^ is correct. The security needs to be 'active' in order for Advanced Trader to work.... {nm} Flash Apr 25, 08:42

Found out the Advanced Trader DOES work when a stock is halted (previously active, but trading stopped for wknd), as the only loophole. {nm} arf Apr 25, 21:59

Thanks for the responses. Would be good if you could set a buy order per ipo {nm} jammas Apr 26, 03:42

what did you people gain yesterday? (mon) I m asking cuz I made $5M, yet dropped a spot, which is pretty unusual. islander Apr 24, 07:04

gain of 5 million -moved up 2 positions {nm} laujer Apr 24, 07:24

looks like you may pass me tomorrow {nm} islander Apr 24, 08:18

Usually don't stay up for reset-doubt if I will pass you- {nm} laujer Apr 24, 22:41

Gained ~$5M. But my port is only 3-4% as big as yours so it moved me better. {nm} Dales Apr 24, 07:42

$9,089,926.19 {nm} RazorHawk Apr 24, 08:22

the last 19 cents is the hardest? :) {nm} islander Apr 24, 09:05

I went to sleep with $9,089,926 and woke up with $9,089,926.19! {nm} RazorHawk Apr 24, 09:12

Did the same with 157,733,469. I picked the perfectly WRONG way to hold the stocks when I went to sleep. {nm} arf Apr 24, 10:37

sounds like you took a nap {nm} laujer Apr 26, 06:31

$7m gain (+4.07%) {nm} alfpaulytd2012 Apr 24, 08:57

6 million and change.......up 3 to #627 {nm} DASavage Apr 24, 09:12

Gain of $3M+ but dropped 2 spots...what's up with THAT? lol {nm} Flash Apr 24, 09:38

Approx 41/2 million up 102 spots {nm} blaze223 Apr 24, 11:47

Lost around H$600K {nm} DTravel Apr 24, 12:48

All of you is crazy with that 5+ million gains!! It's depressing! ;-) {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 24, 19:49

Up about $7M, up one spot to 105 {nm} JohnTEQP Apr 24, 22:57

For predictions, what is RS? IIRC, MTC Is Major Theater Chain, is RS the Releasing Studio? {nm} arf Apr 22, 22:18

Reel Source :) {nm} tealfan Apr 23, 00:14

Can we call this a frequently asked question yet? {nm} PVL Admin Apr 23, 07:39

Google wouldn't answer me. I'll try adding this: Definition of MTC Major Theater Chain Definition of RS Reel Source Box Office Prediction {nm} arf Apr 23, 11:47

Added at abbreviations.com as well. Should cover it. {nm} arf Apr 23, 12:19

I've had this idea since I opened my account. I was hoping to manage this fund some day. I guess I need a new idea. {nm} the_reverand Apr 22, 15:45

What fund? It seems you created a new thread rather than reply to an existing thread. {nm} arf Apr 22, 19:00

He also spelled reverend wrong. {nm} Dave3626 Apr 22, 20:30

You can go to any Fund portfolio page, and on the right side is info on how to manage a fund.. I put the Animation Fund link inside Flash Apr 23, 08:12

Is there still an XML feed provided by HSX to help out sites like KaiGee? There was one back when I started playing, but link is inactive. arf Apr 21, 17:14

It exists, but, is no longer freely available, as I understand it. edzep Apr 21, 17:52

Gmov i give it until wednesday and at the pace you are moving i will be a mere speck in your review mirror blaze223 Apr 21, 01:42

Trend the past month is stocks priced $2-$6 seeing BIG runs everyday. momentum858 Apr 20, 08:56

I wish I was up at 3am to play reset, but that's never going to happen. I've made peace with it. {nm} Dave3626 Apr 20, 11:05

think like a man.......PLAY THE RESET......besting the lucky one.......@ Local mostly white/latino theatre in Cali! what does this mean? {nm} DASavage Apr 20, 11:33

I patently refuse to wake up at 3. I'm not a masochist. I shall happily make less money. Small price to pay for sleep. {nm} Dave3626 Apr 20, 13:30

You don't actually start seeing trends until about 10 minutes after reset, then stay up to flip at the right time. Otherwise, it's a loss. {nm} arf Apr 20, 14:05

You've been dabbling in the dark art of Reset trading, have you? I'm concerned for your soul. And for my chances of closing the 5M gap ;-) {nm} Dave3626 Apr 20, 15:27

btw I've started using a capital D in my handle. I hope it's not pretentious. {nm} Dave3626 Apr 20, 15:29

That gap will probably be closed this weekend, I always have terrible luck when holding stock on openers. {nm} arf Apr 20, 16:27

Hey what's an "arf" anyway? {nm} Dave3626 Apr 20, 16:30

AR Fifteen / AR-15 Rifle {nm} arf Apr 20, 17:31

Rifles and reset trading. This how Ruby Ridge happened, ya know. {nm} Dave3626 Apr 21, 08:48

Nah, Ruby Ridge was a mess. ATF screwed the pooch on entrapment, by both ATF and FBI admission. {nm} arf Apr 21, 10:19

Entrapment aaaaannndd.. reset trading. Everyone knows that. You know who else reset traded? Hitler. Yeah. {nm} Dave3626 Apr 21, 10:30

I only reset trade when I'll be up anyway. It's way too volatile. Oh, and 100 bonus points for the Office Space quote mangling of flair! {nm} arf Apr 21, 10:35

I'm going to move this conversation over to the Life board I think. {nm} Dave3626 Apr 21, 11:28

the noise you make when hit with an AR-15? {nm} ndmaster Apr 20, 22:29

Joy of being 8 hours behind pacific time is i really want to go i could start the days trend at reset at a sensible time for me blaze223 Apr 21, 01:33

I have had some success playing the reset, without actually playing the reset. Dales Apr 21, 06:35

Very helpful, very informative. Thank you. But when do you get up? Are you east coast, west coast? {nm} Dave3626 Apr 21, 10:03

Generally I radar things sometime between 6-7AM Central {nm} Dales Apr 21, 10:17

Ok, that's about the same time I get up on the East Coast (5am). Nice. Going to try this out. Again, thanks :-) {nm} Dave3626 Apr 21, 10:28

I succumbed to the dark side, it was only a matter of time for you as well. {nm} arf Apr 21, 13:06

A single example from this morning. Dales Apr 22, 12:00

Like a tortoise awaking from hibernation the asian fund manager finally arrives to grace us with his presence {nm} blaze223 Apr 20, 05:13

Question about limited release delisting nomyst Apr 19, 08:13

once a movie is released in limited it delists after 12 weekends... only exception is if it expands wide, then it delists after 4 weekends {nm} RazorHawk Apr 19, 08:25

Well i guess you were all right about the fund manager of the asian fund nothing bought so far {nm} blaze223 Apr 18, 09:02

well i know fund managers arent allowed to buy anything the first day, and maybe depending on time zone, he isnt up yet? {nm} islander Apr 18, 09:12

Forgot to factor that in thanks {nm} blaze223 Apr 18, 09:14

The fund manager was allowed to start investing on Tuesday's reset (35 hours ago) {nm} RazorHawk Apr 18, 09:48

Could have at least radared something by now....if you're not into it at the start, will you be into grinding it out? {nm} alfpaulytd2012 Apr 18, 12:18

Maybe he's researching REALLY hard? Though It'd be funny to have a virgin fund orphaned. {nm} arf Apr 18, 14:28

The current record for a fund being left for dead by the manager is 9 days. RazorHawk Apr 18, 15:04

So what happens if this fund lies idle because i dont want to incur commission on another persons laziness {nm} blaze223 Apr 19, 12:16

Generally for a theme fund DMac will hand pick somebody with a good track record and ask them to take over. {nm} stevie1der328 Apr 19, 13:26

I am busy... (until January) {nm} RazorHawk Apr 19, 16:28

Back after a 4-year absence and much longer for trading. CrankYanker Apr 17, 16:43

welcome back! When I returned after a few year absence, I also made money quick, then promptly lost most on commissions. {nm} arf Apr 17, 16:46

Thanks CrankYanker Apr 17, 17:02

Yep...I remember the name...welcome back. {nm} Flash Apr 18, 07:11

Hi Flash! CrankYanker Apr 18, 09:47

welcome back. Good to see some of the old timers again. too early for gut checks? {nm} CQ Apr 18, 10:46

For me, yes CrankYanker Apr 18, 13:50

Confused iR0cK Apr 17, 10:47

you have to factor the 1% commission buy/sell. so you aren't making until stock is up 2%. some say 3%. {nm} DASavage Apr 17, 10:51

I call 3% "even". Think in Daily ROI. If you can sell a slow mover at a 2% hit, but make 5% on a fast day mover, take the high dROI. {nm} arf Apr 17, 15:52

There is a commission on each transaction. nomyst Apr 17, 10:55

Thanks all iR0cK Apr 17, 10:57

One more thing ! nomyst Apr 17, 10:59

it's fake money after all...........let's see how the kid does........ {nm} DASavage Apr 16, 09:49

I think that if he hasn't even posted in this thrad talking about him, he probably doesn't follow the news. {nm} arf Apr 16, 20:54

You never know he might have a new sense of responsibility and desire to play every day and as above give the kid a chance {nm} blaze223 Apr 16, 12:16

Or not... :) {nm} slappydavid Apr 16, 13:22

his "new sense of responsibility and desire to play every day" = not trading in his port for the last two weeks? {nm} RazorHawk Apr 16, 13:44

Should we be concerned that he doesn't seem to have made any trades yet? {nm} srrichardson Apr 18, 04:02

Maybe his mom died or something. {nm} Steved1998 Apr 18, 12:12

All good points, which means that I should participate more on forums myself . . . {nm} eallensbp Apr 16, 12:21

I've been an HSX-er for 3 years, and have over 850 positions, so Pepito's 300 is cause for concern. {nm} eallensbp Apr 16, 12:23

Hey Dude, I don't know if you were around for previous incarnations of the AARP fund, but I've been considering asking for a new issue. Mojave Apr 16, 17:14

Heh, I don't think I knew you had local roots. Mojave Apr 16, 20:07

I'd be all over an AARP fund, that could get hilarious! Both restrictive and pretty wide at the same time, HGAME passed w/DSUTH et al {nm} arf Apr 16, 20:44

Just for fun(d)... here is a list I made (a while back) of all the previous funds (that I remember) listed at HSX RazorHawk Apr 17, 06:19

I remember LAWYR, YOUNG, and LOVE, I really miss ADJUS, it was fast money. BONDS is the fastest now that I can tell. {nm} arf Apr 18, 14:35

DMac likes funds... and he likes returning managers RazorHawk Apr 17, 06:24

i should get back into one, but i have no good ideas? {nm} islander Apr 17, 06:47

You could take over TRUE and finally delist it! eyescovered Apr 17, 06:56

Interesting concept would be a "Daytrader Fund", nothing held over a few days, trade only on the news. {nm} arf Apr 18, 14:39

OMgosh...Tom's Tacos & Tito's is the BEST! Wooo! Flash Apr 17, 08:54

Wow, my best friend lived across the street (Trask) from Hwy 39 theater and we lived just down the street at Trask & Golden West for years. {nm} CrankYanker Apr 17, 16:33
