You guys are good! :) {nm} slappydavid Feb 08, 11:45

That's what we are told. Thanks. {nm} PVL Admin Feb 08, 22:43

Too close, switching to the chainsaw. {nm} PVL Admin Feb 08, 22:44

How did OlegMaxYTD2012 make 62M from 2M in 38 days?! Is it Grory in disguise or some other HSX monster? {nm} Ryan_Stewart Feb 07, 11:59

You could say he is an HSX monster. He's been around since the beginning, ranks #20, and would probably be higher if it wasn't for YTD port. {nm} PRodQuanta Feb 07, 12:26

Boy do I feel foolish. {nm} PRodQuanta Feb 09, 12:29

We can't answer this, or the unstated related question: How could one make H$60M from H$2M in little more than a month, while DTXbro Feb 09, 08:20

What the h*ll happened to OlegMaxYTD2012? Did he terminate that account? I don't see it anymore? {nm} Ryan_Stewart Feb 11, 22:13

ok.. so what does "11-23 Oscar Run" mean? eglue Feb 06, 19:22

A movie sometimes has a 1-week qualifying run for Oscar eligibility during the year. accountant_4_Jesus Feb 06, 21:05

interesting. I learned something. Thanks for the information. {nm} eglue Feb 07, 08:22

Academy rules state that a movie must play for at least one week JohnTEQP Feb 06, 21:31

Thanks. I learned here as well. Thanks for the info to both of you. {nm} eglue Feb 07, 08:22

Actually, the last day for a movie to begin its one-week Oscar-qualifying run is Dec. 31... Andre C Feb 07, 12:15

Learn something new every day! Guess I was wrong! Thanks Andre C! {nm} JohnTEQP Feb 07, 19:55

What happens to the value of your holdings when you short a blockbuster warrant and it delists at zero? {nm} Ryan_Stewart Feb 06, 12:56

You double what u invested ;) {nm} karspov Feb 06, 13:36

Are youn. {nm} Ryan_Stewart Feb 06, 16:08

Are you kidding? Wow. Ha ha. Shhhh... {nm} Ryan_Stewart Feb 06, 16:10

I can't figure out why no one is betting for Scorsese to win best director. The Golden Globes mean nothing? Hugo is a huge film! {nm} Ryan_Stewart Feb 04, 13:09

You got that right. The Golden Globes mean Nothing. The DGA now that spells Best Picture Oscar, almost for sure. {nm} mrbinns Feb 05, 07:06

Typically (but not always) animated movies don't win the "big awards"...Best movie, director, actor, etc.. {nm} Flash Feb 05, 07:08

Hugo is not an animated film. I highly recommend seeing it in the theatre (in 3D if you can) Ryan_Stewart Feb 05, 09:17

Sorry, I missed adding the word "family OR animated" films in my post above about not winning bigger awards... {nm} Flash Feb 06, 07:31

Hugo is technically well done, but the story wasn't great. JohnTEQP Feb 05, 21:05

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

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
