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

SPOOK Update! From $30 to $50 since Dec 7!! You still have time to invest! Plan for the next few months... HorrorFund (eyescovered) Jan 24, 07:53

Where is Alan Greenspan when he's needed (to label some of today's activity "irrational exuberance")? DTXbro Jan 23, 16:26

what, to make it worse? {nm} ndmaster Jan 24, 10:01

Quick question, are there any particular studios or companies that consistently never report box office to ERC? Thanks in advance. {nm} stevie1der328 Jan 23, 07:44

Yes there are. The best way to find out if a particular distributor doesn't report box office is to use the advanced search function Roger More Jan 23, 08:46

minor correction.... RazorHawk Jan 23, 12:51

Not new, just something I had never thought of before and was looking for a quick answer. Thank you both! {nm} stevie1der328 Jan 23, 13:32

typo... new player was supposed to be "newer player" {nm} RazorHawk Jan 23, 13:51

Cool. The important thing is as long as I'm around, I'll always have use for HSX Dude, so keep up the good work! {nm} stevie1der328 Jan 23, 18:57

Studios that never report box office wouldn't have a distributor listed under advance search.. {nm} Antibody Jan 23, 13:18

heh I get in with my nextbook- now to try a trade. {nm} grammar Jan 20, 22:45

The BANAL Fund Update: State Of The Fund Address 2012 - The HSX Dude RazorHawk Jan 20, 13:53

Thanks for all the entertainment. If I may ask, why was Amanda Bynes included? {nm} DTravel Jan 20, 17:40

She "retired" from acting... eyescovered Jan 20, 17:53

the complete Amanda Bynes story... RazorHawk Jan 20, 21:12

Shows how much attention I pay to celebrity gossip. :P Thanks. {nm} DTravel Jan 20, 22:51

I used to be a fan of Amanda Bynes until... RazorHawk Jan 20, 23:03

Thanks for the good work, RH! I always thot of BANAL as sort of a mirror image of the Original Idea Fund OriginalFund Jan 23, 22:00

Attention Pgame 1 Players and people who want to join next month's Pgame 2 competition: Update and Announcement inside: PRodQuanta Jan 19, 09:05

Well, today was a very good day for me. Made almost $4M. Know that's small change to many here but its a personal best for me. {nm} DTravel Jan 18, 23:05

gotta love single day personal bests! {nm} tealfan Jan 18, 23:39

That is awesome! Especially at your port size! {nm} PRodQuanta Jan 19, 00:42

And yesterday I cracked 12,000 (11,999 LTD :) ) {nm} DTravel Jan 22, 11:05

******NORTON is giving me a warning about the-numbers******* mrbinns Jan 17, 05:00

here is a better description of the current problem RazorHawk Jan 17, 08:27

Bruce advised by email yesterday, Tuesday, that the site was scrubbed. No warnings today, Wednesday. {nm} Buy BONDS 18 Jan 18, 05:19

Good place to find comparables for post-adjust trading jickerson Jan 16, 14:04

Box Office Mojo (BOM) has a "similiar movies" tab on most movie pages. Is this what you are looking for? You still have to do the leg work. Paul2k Jan 16, 14:25

The page im thinking of had a breakdown for each comparable of the opening weekend as a percentage of total gross (i think it was for DVNSD) {nm} jickerson Jan 16, 14:58
