HSX Lingo #3: Moviestock Phases - The HSX Dude RazorHawk Feb 03, 12:03

how long does it take to be over a billion on average sbvman Feb 03, 01:07

Hey sbv man. I have an answer inside. PRodQuanta Feb 03, 07:33

I'm not sure how MUCH time you spend here to play, but... Flash Feb 03, 08:03

Thanks for the memories, Flash -- literally DTXbro Feb 03, 10:04

Yep...different game when we started... Flash Feb 03, 16:25

I started in 2008, so it's looking like 4 years to hit a billion... {nm} Chefbobcat Feb 04, 05:13

It took me 11 years to get to $1B on here, but I wasn't really playing that intensely at the time. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Feb 05, 19:11

I was asking the same question........ nomadic Feb 08, 13:52

Since I started trading actively, my daily average gain is probably around $2.5M per day. accountant_4_Jesus Feb 09, 16:04

descendants deserves more attention for best picture..... moving film for anyone with a heart..... {nm} wordpoet1 Feb 02, 11:58

Have you seen all the nominees? It seems clear that Artist and Hugo are the best of the bunch as well as having that little "extra".. Ryan_Stewart Feb 04, 12:54

Cool HSX Feature: Trader Watchlist - The HSX Dude RazorHawk Feb 02, 08:45

Great article. I like how you use edzep's Nosy. I find that very helpful too. {nm} PRodQuanta Feb 03, 00:15

something that you might not know is that I discovered/invented the process that Nosy uses {nm} RazorHawk Feb 03, 09:33

No way! True: I did not know that; yet, it doesn't surprise me. What is that process, if you don't mind me asking? {nm} PRodQuanta Feb 03, 11:30

Before Nosy, I used to check by adding people to my watch list, and compare their port value on their to what their profile says. {nm} PRodQuanta Feb 03, 11:32

their = there. {nm} PRodQuanta Feb 03, 11:32

that is what I invented... RazorHawk Feb 03, 11:48

Actually, I remember reading those threads in the forum (is that sad?). I think that is where I learned how to do it before Nosy... Cool. {nm} PRodQuanta Feb 03, 12:23

Congratulations to January's Port Value League winners! (results inside) PVL Admin Feb 01, 19:57

Thanks Rocket! Your effort on PVLs is always appreciated! {nm} slappydavid Feb 02, 07:04

Pgame1 Final Results and Awards. Also, HSX Pgame3 Lobby has been created (link inside) for those who want to play next month. PRodQuanta Feb 01, 18:47

Well done fellow Oranges! We managed to improve to finish 2nd, good effort... :) slappydavid Feb 02, 04:33

Thanks slappy. As a rule, though, I probably won't give myself any awards. That would be kind of weird. {nm} PRodQuanta Feb 02, 09:04

Incestously nepotistic usually is. :) {nm} DTravel Feb 02, 12:31

In this case, wouldn't it be onanistic? ;) {nm} Paul2k Feb 02, 12:34

Since he did, um, pull out yes. But if he hadn't then it wouldn't have been. (And I suspect you'd better hope Antibody doesn't figure out DTravel Feb 02, 18:31

Antibody has a degree in business and a degree in science... he knows the big words {nm} RazorHawk Feb 02, 19:16

I like awards... Thanks! {nm} PVL Admin Feb 02, 19:45

If anyone's looking for monthly fund report, it will be late next week {nm} islander Feb 01, 13:09

I am looking forward to it, because I think the Original Idea Fund did well this month :) {nm} JohnTEQP Feb 01, 16:49

Disney fund had a terrible month!(nm) bstallard Feb 04, 20:09

Are PGame2 leagues going to be reset sometime today? RazorHawk Feb 01, 08:08

Way ahead of ya. The HSX Pgame Lobby and the HSX Pgame 2 and associated teams were all reset about 30 minutes ago. {nm} PRodQuanta Feb 01, 09:10

Not sure what this means but this week is the first time I've ever earned more on Monday than Tuesday. DTravel Jan 31, 20:31

Me too, but the Star Bond adjusts today are a fortune compared to last week, That was the lowest I can remember. {nm} JDolphin Jan 31, 21:21

Hmm, I did pretty good on last week's SB adjusts. *scratches head* {nm} DTravel Jan 31, 22:29

You're thinking 2 weels ago. Last week was only 7 bonds with total adjust value under 100,000. {nm} JDolphin Jan 31, 23:09

Could be, but I still was up a lot last Tuesday according to my net worth history. {nm} DTravel Feb 01, 08:32

Pgame2 team leagues have been created at members invited. The game starts tomorrow. Pgame 1 leagues will be disbanded tomorrow. {nm} PRodQuanta Jan 31, 19:37

Results and trophies of Pgame1 will be posted tomorrow. Good luck and happy trading. {nm} PRodQuanta Jan 31, 19:39

I have started a new league... related to my upcoming new fund.... RazorHawk Jan 31, 17:39

Pgame 2 Rosters! Information on Pgame1&2 inside: PRodQuanta Jan 31, 12:03

Paul2k has nothing on ME! :) bring it on! {nm} slappydavid Jan 31, 12:15

Haha. {nm} PRodQuanta Jan 31, 15:24

Don't make me smack you. :P Also, I'm not sure how much the private discussion helped Prodigies, considering how we were in last place. {nm} Paul2k Jan 31, 13:40

Hey, imagine how bad we would have been if we hadn't talked strategy. {nm} Ruthian23 Jan 31, 14:04

Exactly. {nm} PRodQuanta Jan 31, 14:14

I'm trying to get a PhD here, there's only so much time to waste on here :-) {nm} stevie1der328 Jan 31, 21:04

Would have been amusing if Paul was on the Paul2K has nothing on us team. {nm} Ruthian23 Jan 31, 14:06

I thought about it... {nm} PRodQuanta Jan 31, 14:15

I am on a team called "Up And Coming"? ...really? RazorHawk Jan 31, 17:11

Done! My original thought was that you were the "Up" and the rest were the "Coming" *avoids a {nm} PRodQuanta Jan 31, 17:22

...*avoids a "That's what she said" joke* {nm} PRodQuanta Jan 31, 17:22

Since you were the only one over a billion (by quite a ways...) on your team. However, I like your suggestion better. {nm} PRodQuanta Jan 31, 17:24

PRod's got high hopes for you in this game, kiddo. ;) {nm} Ruthian23 Jan 31, 19:38

I use The Dude's website way to much to disrespect him. I actually remember reading his site 5 years ago when I last played. {nm} PRodQuanta Jan 31, 20:13

There's a ton of good information there, especially for newer players. {nm} Ruthian23 Jan 31, 21:37

now that I'm gonna be on a team, I guess I'm gonna have to start being more active again {nm} lapuckfan Jan 31, 18:22

Why did I get kicked out? Do I need to re-up my membership each month? {nm} dioneta Jan 31, 23:41

Oh no! I told everyone that if they were interested in next month's Pgame2 to sign up in the Pgame2 Lobby League PRodQuanta Feb 01, 06:52

Mission impossible Blockbuster Warrant $20 upside {nm} vwgti1869 Jan 30, 07:57

For EthanHunt (inside) Roger More Jan 27, 16:00

EthanHunt - the best way to find out how you are doing is to check the Leaderboards. Good Start. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Jan 27, 16:15

Good Start; when I started taking it serious I liked to keep an eye on the funds to see how they were holding. Easy money w/ warrants damenchipguy Jan 27, 16:43

Thanks for all the advice. EthanHunt Jan 27, 22:18

Pgame 1 standings. 6 days to go! PRodQuanta Jan 26, 16:50

Attention: HSX Pgame 2 has its sign up deadline tomorrow. Sign up to the league before the 28th! I'll post tallies for Pgame 1 tonight. {nm} PRodQuanta Jan 26, 13:15

Moby's will no longer be a fansite imobowel Jan 25, 20:49

What percentage should you keep around to play with? {nm} Chanouel Jan 25, 10:08

This is a difficult question, where the answer depends on your type of playing style. PRodQuanta Jan 25, 11:08

Fund Idea: The "No Where But Down" Fund jickerson Jan 24, 16:24

Giant film = $250M+ and only can invest until the starbonds next adjust, unless it too is a 250M+. DTravel Jan 24, 16:52

This is a great idea, IMO. {nm} PRodQuanta Jan 25, 09:32

So you couldn't buy the star bonds attached to the movie until *after* their movie becomes a hit? Flash Jan 26, 07:32

Correct, the whole idea would be to invest in actors coming off a success, jickerson Jan 26, 07:42

But actors who get roles in big-budget tentpoles tend to get more such roles. DTravel Jan 26, 12:23

Not necessarily. KSTEW, RPATT, AGREE, and AKEND have all been in smaller films since the Twilight movies. JohnTEQP Jan 27, 11:02

For how long would it go? Look at KWINS and KKNIG...how the mighty have fallen with respect to TAG. EMCGR too. {nm} Buy BONDS 18 Jan 27, 13:17

Hopefully for at least 3 movies (or a fixed time frame, maybe 18 months) so there would be a little TAG/adjust movement {nm} jickerson Jan 27, 14:16

Oh, i think i just got what you meant by that question. Hopefully till it hits H$100M, or 1 year if thats more of the norm {nm} jickerson Jan 27, 14:34

As I said inside my post, many also alternate blockbusters with small indies. Still not the same as "on their way down and out". {nm} DTravel Jan 27, 13:42

i'm not saying "down and out". when i say "no where but down", i mean that their next movie has to be less than or equal to this movie jickerson Jan 27, 14:19

Just because a Starbond has just adjusted for a 250+M movie does not mean their next adjust has to be down. DTravel Jan 27, 22:44

Anyone know when the NominOptions are going to cash out today? {nm} 121Jigowatts Jan 24, 13:09

They just did but the Ides of March (Best Picture) cashed out as $10 when it should have cashed out at $0. Who can correct that??. {nm} andre72 Jan 24, 14:35

Oops, will fix, thanks. {nm} Antibody Jan 24, 14:56

My trade history still shows this as a $10 cash out, can that be fixed?? {nm} andre72 Jan 24, 19:18
