Dumb question - dROI - how calculated? (I thought it was in the Help section somewhere....) DTravel Dec 15, 20:51

I calculate it like this for KaiGee.com KaiGee Dec 15, 21:16

dROI = (expected value/current value)^(1/# of days) – 1 . See http://www.theampersand.net/?page_id=134#30 {nm} PVL Admin Dec 15, 21:46

The gibberish is simply "-1" {nm} PVL Admin Dec 15, 21:47

That's based on a formula used for ROI of investments with compounding returns, isn't it? {nm} DTravel Dec 15, 21:48

What software are you using for tour spreadsheet? {nm} PVL Admin Dec 15, 21:50

Excel {nm} DTravel Dec 15, 22:08

Here's a couple of tips for developing your formula. PVL Admin Dec 16, 16:50

Thanks but I already worked all those bits out months ago. :) DTravel Dec 16, 18:35

PSA: You're missing out, if you haven't tried Chimp for buying NominOptions. Point & Shoot, and... edzep Dec 15, 16:42

Thanks for the plug. Port Monkey & Chimp are great tools as well. Add in HSX Dude for the trifecta and you will be unstoppable. KaiGee Dec 15, 19:34

I wholeheartedly concur. Port Monkey & Chimp, Kaigee's comprehensive website, and Razorhawk's school and tips have made me the trader I am. {nm} Paul2k Dec 15, 19:41

Plus steroids, HGH, and some other synthetic, unnamed compounds. {nm} KaiGee Dec 15, 20:52

All alleged. ALLEGED! You have no proof! And that syringe hanging out of my thigh is just a vitamin shot. {nm} Paul2k Dec 15, 20:53

Vitamin P2K is not an allowed 'stimulant'. Even if you could bottle and sell it here. {nm} KaiGee Dec 15, 20:57

(Not a paid celebrity endorsement.) P2K: helps you grow 48 extra thumbs. {nm} edzep Dec 16, 06:17

was thinking of trying out a fansite, any ideas? {nm} pezzilla101 Dec 16, 23:11

In the drop down menus above, in the "Community" section, there's a listing of HSX Fansites. I'd recommend The HSX Dude and Kaigee. {nm} Paul2k Dec 17, 10:34

Ahhh, NominOptions. With a category just for me! {nm} OriginalFund Dec 14, 20:32

I just realized this is the first time I'll be playing them since HSX introduced the little icon next to each symbol telling you stevie1der328 Dec 15, 03:59

Is holding them all just like covering every number on the roulette wheel yes you win but not much {nm} blaze223 Dec 15, 13:32

IPO Thoughts: The Tolkien Fund Back Again [TOLKN] RazorHawk Dec 13, 09:49

My take on 2 movies this week An Old Actor Dec 11, 07:23

Auntie Duck, answering your question from the Movies board here (since this is the strategy board) by saying "I haven't a clue." I have not Paul2k Dec 10, 16:31

You could short all the penny stocks for 1.5 mil. That way, when they hit big, you will lose a ton. PVL Admin Dec 10, 16:42

In regards to your IM, if you still have cash liquid, but your portfolio value is negative, can you still spend your cash, or is it held up Paul2k Dec 10, 16:44

My port was at negative $280,000 yesterday, and because I still had almost $2M in cash, I could still short shares. AuntyDuck Dec 10, 18:52

Why are all the Blockbuster Warrants not being done at once this season? Not sure when they even become available. Any help appreciated. {nm} Huskies2112 Dec 07, 06:13

Rather than having a bunch of warrants delisting at zero due to unmakable strike prices, Antibody announced that Buy StarBondFund (Buy EURO) Dec 07, 06:58

Antibody: I suggest that perhaps an announcment "MOVIE.BW" will IPO Wednesday on the Announcment board might help. {nm} Buy StarBondFund (Buy EURO) Dec 07, 06:59

All IPOs are on the Calendar, don't see why BW IPOs "warrant" individual announcements. {nm} Antibody Dec 07, 13:38

Do you pay any attention to derivetives?(sp?) "Once Upon A Time" has produced 22 episodes. Think about it. RBlaine Dec 07, 04:52

In some cases, prices may not move much (even when ARB) due to the fact that most traders may already own a warrant, derivative, etc.. {nm} Flash Dec 07, 08:05

There's also the slight issue that "produced" doesn't always mean "will air". {nm} DTravel Dec 07, 16:16

I want to buy into Film District (Arabian Nights), but can't find a stock for it ssg Dec 07, 04:22

Ticker is ARABN {nm} eyescovered Dec 07, 04:28

Oh sorry, I meant the studio 'Film District'. I can't find a stock or fund for them. Am I just looking past it? {nm} ssg Dec 07, 19:28

My understanding is that Film District is a production company, not a studio. JohnTEQP Dec 09, 08:30
