Question about Box Office Revenue nomyst Apr 10, 04:46

If you are talking about Oleg Max Apr 10, 05:04

Not I'm not talking about Goon. nomyst Apr 10, 07:21

Not sure about ERC website, but Oleg Max Apr 10, 07:45

I'm talking about... nomyst Apr 10, 11:12

my guess is Oleg Max Apr 10, 12:53

Is Kaigee ok. has not updated site. hope you are ok! {nm} DASavage Apr 09, 20:38

Good thought. We do miss his work! {nm} edzep Apr 09, 21:27

A most invaluable resource! I can't wait until live data is worked in, if it's possible. {nm} arf Apr 11, 21:10

Does anyone have a link to production schedules for upcoming movies? 121Jigowatts Apr 09, 16:24

My Entertainment World off the Tools of the Trades Antibody Apr 09, 16:43

Ha! So that's what MEW means! {nm} slappydavid Apr 09, 16:46

Thanks! {nm} 121Jigowatts Apr 09, 17:27

A movie delists at the current BO revenue it's attained at the delist date? {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 09, 08:36

Domestic BO, yep. {nm} dave3626 Apr 09, 10:04

Portmonkey Auto-pick - How to disable to prevent accidental trades -inside- arf Apr 06, 16:03

What's the best website for # of screens showing movie and for $ per screen? BOMojo? Something else? {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 05, 16:51

mojo JohnnyGodard Apr 05, 19:49

BOM and ERC have that info. i use BOM. {nm} PVL Admin Apr 05, 22:25

A bunch of you HSXers are wizards with stats and numbers: Does anyone know who the fastest to 100 Million was? Not repeat accounts. Ryan_Stewart Apr 05, 08:43

And the second question: Who was the fastest to 100 Million - repeat accounts - and how fast? {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 05, 08:45

It is not me.....that is for surcertain! 2431 days to get to H$100 million TremorChrist Apr 05, 18:03

We should keep track of records like this. Should be some place on the site for this. {nm} DOW53 Apr 05, 12:29

I was wondering that myself the other day. {nm} perply1 Apr 05, 13:12

Well...I don't know about $100M... but I can tell you Grory (#1 LTD) got to $1BILLION within ONE year...she did Flash Apr 06, 08:41

I refuse to jinx it! I refuse to jinx it! I refuse to jinx it! I refuse to jinx it! I refuse to jinx it! {nm} DTravel Apr 04, 10:19

Can ya give us a hint? {nm} arf Apr 04, 11:54

I dunno. Would that jinx it? DTravel Apr 04, 13:40

Probably not. Though just talking about an unnamed security is probably jinxing some other random ones. {nm} arf Apr 04, 20:33

Not talking about a security. {nm} DTravel Apr 04, 21:39

You probably jinxed it then. {nm} arf Apr 05, 09:01

D*mn. Its gonna physically hurt to fall that far. {nm} DTravel Apr 05, 10:07

Sometimes a solid fall / crash is good, you never know how happy / high you are until you fall. {nm} arf Apr 06, 12:31

HA! Thank you but no, I've had plenty of falls from grace already. (BTW, This whole thread is about me breaking into the DTravel Apr 06, 14:16

Congratulations then! You've now waited long enough where you probably won't get knocked out. Unless that jinxed you... {nm} arf Apr 06, 15:36

You are not helping! *mock growl* {nm} DTravel Apr 06, 18:49

Frustating ASIAN is 99.95 and DOWN .04 for the day....do the math. {nm} BUY StarBondFund Apr 03, 17:26

这是有趣的 {nm} DOW53 Apr 03, 17:43

That was supposed to say "That's funny" in chinese. Oh well.. {nm} DOW53 Apr 03, 17:44

Down H$0.05 now, seems that if you post about it, it gets worse. {nm} arf Apr 03, 18:29

How about today.....99.94 down .07 That means it was over 100 at reset. whew...never thought it would cross the line. {nm} Buy StarBond Fund 18 Apr 04, 05:04

Instead of guessing what the masses will do, does anyone try betting for/against movies depending on if they appeal to you in any way?... Ryan_Stewart Apr 03, 15:05

I tried that for many years. And then realized that that's not the way to make money on this game. Paul2k Apr 03, 15:21

I am glad to hear that... Ryan_Stewart Apr 03, 15:46

I always try to guess on openings whether I think the movie has good appeal, etc.. Flash Apr 03, 15:25

Yeah...I'm guessing a little of both would be best. {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 03, 15:46

that is the #1 mistake a player can make while playing HSX. RazorHawk Apr 03, 16:32

Ha Ha! That tip is dead on! I invested in Angry Birds the first day I joined and promptly lost money! {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 03, 17:30

I guess I've been silly not to read your entire website, yet... {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 03, 17:31

You should definitely keep up with the dude's website. Very helpful stuff for both newbies and experienced players! {nm} slappydavid Apr 04, 06:03

Is it possible for a movie in limited release to cashout at $12 or more? {nm} DOW53 Apr 03, 11:12

Yes. Not likely, but possible. {nm} DTravel Apr 03, 11:40

I see. I don't remember seeing that happen. There's some at that price right now. Tough call. {nm} DOW53 Apr 03, 11:59

Anything can happen. Movie can expand into wide release. {nm} Antibody Apr 03, 12:17

Some examples from 2011: MYWWM delisted at $13.34, TRELF at $12.47, JEYRE at $10.70, WINWN at $9.87. (None of these went wide) {nm} RogerMore Apr 03, 14:54

Since you posted this right after a certain trailer went up, you should checked out MIDNP. {nm} Antibody Apr 03, 15:20

Eh. You're reading my mind. {nm} DOW53 Apr 03, 16:31

So it is possible for a movie in limited release to do 12-13M, but highly unlikely to do more, if it doesn't get a wide release in the DOW53 Apr 03, 16:34

would expect it had lots of major stars {nm} laujer Apr 10, 12:49

Congratulations to March 2012's Port Value League winners! (results inside) PVL Admin Apr 01, 11:20

Graduates need to apply to next level...don't forget or you will miss reset. New players welcome at all levels. {nm} PVL Admin Apr 01, 11:21

Congratulations, DOW53! I know the taste of your dust well! {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 01, 15:47

LOL. Don't worry, I'm going to taste yours this month. {nm} DOW53 Apr 03, 11:11

Almost finished 3rd in the 45-100. Disappointing. {nm} DOW53 Apr 03, 11:13

Thanks for the invite! {nm} warcraft86 Apr 02, 17:30

You're most welcome! The more the merrier. {nm} PVL Admin Apr 02, 17:40

Pgame3 results and awards inside. Congrats to Team Peeta and everybody who participated. Results are archived in HSX Pgame Lobby. PRodQuanta Apr 01, 09:39

Is it me or my team always finishes 2nd? :) thanks PQ! {nm} slappydavid Apr 01, 10:55

Hey, I was the team captain! Woot! Thanks, PRodQuanta! {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Apr 01, 15:08

As captains, must others now salute us? Also, can we marry people now? {nm} dave3626 Apr 01, 15:21

Yes and yes. {nm} PRodQuanta Apr 01, 17:50

Then I'll start by marrying the dog and cat. They've been living in sin for years. {nm} dave3626 Apr 01, 20:09

What about the lamb and the lion? They've been shameless in their laying down together. {nm} DTravel Apr 02, 16:03

It's like you're right inside in my head. {nm} dave3626 Apr 02, 19:23

Cluttered, you should clean this place out more often. {nm} DTravel Apr 03, 08:20

Hard to find a good housekeeper. I measure them all against the incomparable Mrs. Garrett. {nm} dave3626 Apr 03, 09:26

Is anyone else having problems with their port monkey, lately? It's not showing charts for 2-3 days for me. {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 01, 08:58

there is a discussion and information about this on the feedback board that might help you {nm} RazorHawk Apr 01, 09:12

Thanks, RazorHawk...I didn't notice there was an appropriate page for technical difficulties until you pointed it out. {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 01, 10:27

Top gaining funds for March 2012. Congrats to [WBROX] at #1. islander Apr 01, 08:06

back to back wins for me (sort of) {nm} WBROXFund Apr 02, 14:44

This rollercoaster for ANCH2? What's up with that? Jeco Mar 31, 08:23

I'm guessing a few dozen people also noticed that, and decided to do reset trading for easy cash as well. Just a hunch. {nm} arf Mar 31, 09:44

Your hunch is wrong....it moved at reset but not one of the top 10 movers within the 1st hour (less than half a percent when I finished up) alfpaulytd2012 Mar 31, 09:52

According to PortMonkey and un4gven's charts, it dropped from 45.43 at reset to 43.29 an hour later. A $2 drop wasn't in the top 10? Wow. {nm} Paul2k Mar 31, 09:56

I stopped 30 min. in and i mean both directions alfpaulytd2012 Mar 31, 10:56

look back 2 days and apply the standard movie fluctuations after major news. Opinion/analysis inside PVL Admin Mar 31, 11:26

Am I right to saythat reset trading is 1.) be around at reset 2.) buy into anything that's moving. 3.)make money. Is that the gist of it? dave3626 Mar 31, 13:00

Nevermind. Rifled thru old posts and found it. {nm} dave3626 Mar 31, 17:58

Pretty Much. Get the PortMonkey script for GreaseMonkey in Firefox to help out with trends and such. Invaluable! {nm} arf Apr 02, 21:03

Cleared out my entire port of 300+ long term holds. $12 million in commisions. Just going to take it easy and really investigate a movie now DASavage Mar 30, 23:54

If you can do 50 mil/wk average, let us know how you did it. That's 200 mil a month and I work my butt off for 130 mil/month. {nm} PVL Admin Mar 31, 00:40

many lo-calorie monsters later..........crazy goals.....must have something to shoot for! {nm} DASavage Mar 31, 00:54

That's an average of over $7M. You'd have to play like Paul2k to achieve that sort of gain each day. Even with my port size I haven't been accountant_4_Jesus Mar 31, 03:19

*$7M per day {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 31, 03:20

Last week was a huge week with all that HGAME money, but even so, only 8 players made more than $50M and the lowest ranked one still had RogerMore Mar 31, 10:36

then I shall lower my outrageous goal to something more attainable. starting tomorrow my goal will be............................... {nm} DASavage Mar 31, 13:15

$4 million dollars or more {nm} DASavage Mar 31, 13:16

Not unrealistic alfpaulytd2012 Mar 31, 13:37

Paul2K averaged $48.79M a week last year. {nm} RogerMore Apr 01, 17:15

Slacker {nm} PVL Admin Apr 01, 22:42

Paul2k is ashamed at his slackertude. {nm} Paul2k Apr 02, 05:56

Was just pointing out you don't need multi billions to hit 50m if u know how to play alfpaulytd2012 Apr 02, 00:13

I've no doubt that he'll earn $50M in a week several times over the coming summer. But on average? That's a hard goal to hit. {nm} RogerMore Apr 02, 15:07

Well, maybe the Hungry will stop eating my a** and I'll break the 10K barrier next week. :( {nm} DTravel Mar 30, 15:54

I'm down 5 mil for the month. As soon as I give up and flip a stock, it magically starts swinging the other way. Who did I anger? {nm} arf Mar 30, 17:04

I had the same problem the other day. Decided to try reset trading. Now i'm back in the green. {nm} perply1 Mar 30, 19:00

Going 100% Star Bonds...does it make sense to play starbonds with a droi undr 0.25?? {nm} TremorChrist Mar 30, 15:21

My opinion - it depends DTravel Mar 30, 15:48

all of my port. have about 191 pos. and $50 million and all bonds over 0.30 droi {nm} TremorChrist Mar 30, 16:30

If you really are going All Starbonds All The Time, then the question isn't "Do I?", its what order you buy them in. DTravel Mar 30, 21:53

Yes, as long as that adjust is at least 10 days out, you'll cover the commission. I grab 0.1 dROI a month out and still come out good. {nm} arf Mar 30, 17:06
