Another Strategy Question EthanHunt Mar 29, 20:19

That's good progress. Keep that strategy for now JohnTEQP Mar 29, 21:32

Slowly develop a solid core of StarBonds - worked for the Roto. Well done to top 10 MILL. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Mar 30, 05:12

Make good use of the helper sites listed in tools. What I make in bonds covers what I lose on movies. :D {nm} arf Mar 30, 12:40

Pgame4 lobby has been locked and the teams will be distributed in the next couple of days. Pgame3 update inside. PRodQuanta Mar 29, 20:18

yeehaa! great job Team Peeta! we killed it! {nm} Oleg Max Mar 30, 12:43

Pgame4 will be locking tonight by 8pm PST. Join the league lobby to participate (link inside). Pgame3 status to come tonight as well. {nm} PRodQuanta Mar 29, 08:46

Link PRodQuanta Mar 29, 08:46

Also, I'm thinking that this month I may switch up the format a little bit... Stay tuned. {nm} PRodQuanta Mar 29, 08:47

Bring it on! {nm} slappydavid Mar 29, 13:06

You've been playing just under a year and you have about 1/2 billion. Care to share any trading strategy? {nm} dave3626 Mar 29, 16:43

Can't say I'm an expert, or even have some set strategy... slappydavid Mar 29, 17:18

Looks like I might just sneak my way into the top 10K by the end of this week. DTravel Mar 28, 09:42

A lot of people looking at red this morning, I'm betting you'll be there sooner than you expect... Oh, and congrats! {nm} slappydavid Mar 28, 09:51

I don't often have Red Days, I'm pretty conservative and well diversified. {nm} DTravel Mar 28, 11:19

I'm only 5.6 mil behid Paul2K. The only problem is he's at +3.9 for the day, so far. {nm} PVL Admin Mar 28, 11:27

Yikes. What's dragging you down? The entertainments for people with empty bellies? {nm} Paul2k Mar 28, 11:32

Yes, it was mainly the famished contestants at the colliseum causing my malaise and impoverishment. {nm} PVL Admin Mar 28, 15:52

Interesting that you two are so close in earnings. I'm going to watch your little contest from the cheap seats. {nm} Ryan_Stewart Mar 28, 16:45

Wait a minute. What is your alias, PVL? I can't find your port. {nm} Ryan_Stewart Mar 28, 16:48

Oh...it's you, Rocket, sir! (The boss of my value leagues) {nm} Ryan_Stewart Mar 28, 16:55

:) {nm} PVL Admin Mar 28, 22:00

Me too. I've probably had 3 or 4 red days in my 10 months playing... It's a good way to keep pushing forward! :) {nm} slappydavid Mar 28, 13:49

And of course as soon as I post that a stock I had short, thinking it was a dead project, gets big news and completely erases my profits 2X {nm} DTravel Mar 28, 20:11

Yeah!!! I woke up in the red! Big stocks dropping left and right! The nocturnal traders have me feeling like a Lycan! {nm} Ryan_Stewart Mar 28, 16:44

Hunger Games 3 Questions hugsalot12 Mar 28, 08:45

There were a lot of people holding the stock long, now they're probably selling, some shorting to go with the quick profit... slappydavid Mar 28, 09:01

Don't worry - the stock is worth 400 or more {nm} Checked Out Mar 28, 09:05

Someday. :P {nm} DTravel Mar 28, 09:48

Day Traders / Reset Traders are killing me. Tried to diversify, commission slaughtered me. {nm} arf Mar 28, 16:12

A lot of us are having Love/Hate relationships with being eaten alive by Hunger Games. {nm} DTravel Mar 29, 12:33

+1 {nm} perply1 Mar 29, 13:38

Is there formula to get week box office from adjusted price? Aerin Mar 28, 07:03

I'm not aware of any 'formula' for figuring that out...stock prices are subject only to market forces until delisting. Flash Mar 28, 07:53

Yes, but there is historic data for the average internal multiplier for each genre of movie. PRodQuanta Mar 28, 08:17

Internal multiplier's yes...but it seemed he was asking about weekly vs. adjust numbers... perhaps Flash Mar 28, 14:37

Could those IM genre formulas be found on Box Office Mojo, Some other site, reading every post here, or any help finding them? {nm} arf Mar 29, 10:49

[LORAX.BW] is going to make $200 million worldwide and inevitable $200 domestic at says the-numbers.com Fredjet Mar 28, 04:37

Should I short Hunger Games or will it increase over the weekend? dremmah Mar 27, 19:34

Many of us can make educated guesses, but nobody on here knows the answer to your question with 100% certainty. {nm} PRodQuanta Mar 27, 19:50

I do. The answer is yes. {nm} Paul2k Mar 27, 19:56

Ha. Clever. {nm} PRodQuanta Mar 27, 21:28

OK guys, this is getting silly. You have a port of a billion dollars. You know better than to ask how you should hold a stock. {nm} PVL Admin Mar 27, 21:12

Heh, heh... I love it! :-) {nm} Flash Mar 28, 07:54

With velcro and glue? {nm} DTravel Mar 28, 15:21

It's too close to adjust price for my taste {nm} JohnTEQP Mar 27, 23:29

Song of the day is from Blood, Sweat, and Tears DTXbro Mar 27, 14:59

My song of the day.. dave3626 Mar 27, 18:21

No way HGAME can do 400mm in 4 weeks best short opp out there {nm} JohnnyGodard Mar 26, 19:44

Your point? {nm} PVL Admin Mar 26, 19:49

I'm shorting it for a quick buck, I think it will delist in the low 300s.. just sharing trading strategy :) {nm} JohnnyGodard Mar 27, 06:34

Thank you for your willingness to share tips and advice, however, blatantly suggesting how to hold a stock PVL Admin Mar 27, 17:26

What's the short term upside on HGAME3? JohnnyGodard Mar 26, 19:39

That's because of the "brakes". Who knows when the brakes will release. If they do, it will keep going up. If it drops, it will drop fast. {nm} PVL Admin Mar 26, 19:50

If it drops before it goes up anymore - it's the last IPO I'll ever buy. {nm} JDolphin Mar 26, 20:52

That's a silly thing to say. There are still ways to make money from IPOs. People are just really impatient and want the gains now instead accountant_4_Jesus Mar 26, 21:03

Well said {nm} blaze223 Mar 26, 22:48

I disagree - 80 millon shares and only $3 is ridiculous. The hassle and ridiculous unknown unfathomable secret rules are not worh it. {nm} JDolphin Mar 27, 00:58

Beyond ridiculous. {nm} JDolphin Mar 27, 00:59

I agree with jdolphin. Since HSX changed all people want is the quick buck and all the skill has gone from this game now. swordfish1 Mar 27, 09:55

Does it take a lot of skill to jump on a sequel/threequel to a big hit? alfpaulytd2012 Mar 27, 09:58

nope and that was my point. {nm} swordfish1 Mar 27, 12:00

so how is it agreeing with jdolphin when he thinks the brakes are a bad thing and preventing the "unskilled" quick buck? alfpaulytd2012 Mar 27, 12:05

Brakes are not a bad thing. Brakes to this extent are bad thing. If HSX doesn't want the stock jumping madly then make a 24 hr IPO {nm} JDolphin Mar 27, 15:07

Or price it higher. 170 was a no brainer buy. 250 would have made people think twice. {nm} JDolphin Mar 27, 15:18

My idea isn't to do that, it's to not have a limit at all for IPOs. Let the market forces dictate how far it goes after the first sale. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 27, 15:38

I would like to take this opportunity and go on record as preferring the brakes left in the "on" position. {nm} arf Mar 30, 17:36

shorting against longs that are losing or buying longs against shorts that are doing badly eglue Mar 26, 17:28

Depends on the price, if it's in the double or triple digits, the commissions will usually eat up any temporary change. {nm} arf Mar 26, 17:39

sometime i completely flip a position, even if it goes against what I think is best. holding long and short, except for a short time, is a ndmaster Mar 27, 09:25

not a strategy, but question looking up posts eglue Mar 26, 17:25

Yes. Google. "site:www.hsx.com/forum keyword1 keyword2 etc..." {nm} PVL Admin Mar 26, 17:57

IPO movement? vtwebb Mar 26, 15:41

??? It has moved. {nm} DTravel Mar 26, 15:56

$2!! vtwebb Mar 26, 16:07

great observation......you should report HSX to the SEC under the "ITS A FREE GAME" statutes alfpaulytd2012 Mar 26, 16:13

Why be %#^& vtwebb Mar 26, 16:15

Its just you're applying real world market principles to a fake money market....your analogy doesn't hold water alfpaulytd2012 Mar 26, 16:16

I understand it's a fake money market vtwebb Mar 26, 16:27

Well, if you put it like that alfpaulytd2012 Mar 26, 16:50

While HSX is a simulation of a virtual stock market, it has had changes over the years that take it away from duplicating exactly the real Paul2k Mar 26, 16:23

Very well said. Thank you. vtwebb Mar 26, 16:30

The first 90M shares don't matter, they don't affect the stock's movement. So its moved ~$2 on ~67M bought/sold. {nm} DTravel Mar 26, 19:20

Why do I even bother trying to day trade, I just get in my own way. I think my entire profit today is thanks to a certain trilogy. {nm} stevie1der328 Mar 26, 12:29

I will probably quit daytrading once I reach 1 billion, might reset the port. It's exhausting running a big port... {nm} slappydavid Mar 26, 12:36

Hey, be glad you don't have Grory's port! Sheesh...can't imagine with that one! :-) {nm} Flash Mar 26, 15:29

Yeah! "Big port" is very subjective in the sense I posted... :) {nm} slappydavid Mar 26, 15:31

It's not exhausting for me. I have a set strategy that I follow (details inside): accountant_4_Jesus Mar 26, 23:26

Thanks for the tips, accountant_4_Jesus, I need more like this so my port doesn't look like a chainsaw massacre each day. {nm} arf Mar 28, 16:22

You're welcome. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 30, 17:27

Someone posted that shares shorted don't show up in the "volume traded today" #s, but ut sure looks like they do...? {nm} forlorne Mar 26, 10:01

Maybe they meant shares shorted are not counted as part of IPO share limit. They do count for volume traded today. {nm} Antibody Mar 26, 10:44

Best time to sell MovieStocks? 2hollywood2 Mar 26, 08:06

Only YOU can decide when the best time to sell a stock... Flash Mar 26, 08:32

Excellent anwer... 2hollywood2 Mar 26, 10:18

Call, Put and OW question. EthanHunt Mar 26, 00:53

B/C you can only invest 20k shares in calls/puts....you want more money invested you have to play OWs/stocks alfpaulytd2012 Mar 26, 00:58

B/c you can make more money investing in OW options than you can holding cash JohnTEQP Mar 26, 22:08

uh, you look like you're correcting me there alfpaulytd2012 Mar 26, 22:51

Is there a pattern to when trailers are released?.... dr_hmcd Mar 26, 00:11
