How much do movies usually make during the week? Where can I find this type of information? CactusLand Nov 20, 12:21

I like using The Numbers chart archive to find past movies and see how they did; Box Office Mojo is decent for past performance and great Paul2k Nov 20, 12:42

the most consistant and easy to use site for daily numbers is here: RazorHawk Nov 21, 04:42

thanks {nm} CactusLand Dec 02, 18:00

Also pls remind me, how long is a movie in limited release in on the exchange? thanks {nm} GMov Nov 20, 10:01

12 weekends. {nm} DTravel Nov 20, 12:04

Pls remind me, how does the "cost" of trading work? Is it a percent of H dollars traded? Thanks {nm} GMov Nov 20, 10:00

1% of the trade, minimum $0.02 per share. {nm} DTravel Nov 20, 12:05

How do u find total issued shares of a old issue {nm} Professor_of_Truth Nov 19, 19:49

you can't, they didn't use to be numbered when offered, that's pretty new. {nm} Jane_Citizen Nov 19, 20:28

Here is a question for you big timers and folks who been around the block Professor_of_Truth Nov 17, 15:12

When you short, you are saying you think the value will decrease. If you cover, or if it delists at 1.5 points less than you bought, Buy StarBondFund Nov 17, 15:23

For a small port, it's generally not a good idea to short a security unless you are fairly certain it is going to drop JohnTEQP Nov 17, 19:53

Respectfully, I disagree... I think small ports can make as much on shorting... as they can buying... Flash Nov 18, 10:37

One slight caveat to your very good, very informative post is that you can actually lose MORE than your investment when shorting a stock. Paul2k Nov 18, 11:03

Amend the Inner Message...you would be out H$4 million total- the 1 mill you invested, plus 3 million on top of that. {nm} Paul2k Nov 18, 11:21

That's true, and I should have mentioned that...thanks for the additional info as well. {nm} Flash Nov 21, 08:21

I should clarify - not a good idea for a small port to short options JohnTEQP Nov 20, 16:56

Yikes much higher risk on shorts!! Do you take profit on shorts when the movie flops or??? {nm} Professor_of_Truth Nov 17, 15:41

There are many variables. The profit/loss come from when you buy/short versus when you sell/cover. Delist occurs 4 weeks after release dioneta Nov 17, 16:18

... or when the price has gone down from the purchase price and you 'cover' your short (which is like 'selling' it) Jane_Citizen Nov 17, 16:19

Short and Cover go together like Buy and Sell srrichardson Nov 18, 06:57

To see how far negative you can go - check out negative port for "Bottom_of_the_Barrel" {nm} nordane Nov 23, 10:19

so I shorted a new IPO stock and it went up but it's a Independent film Professor_of_Truth Nov 17, 02:23

There is only one way to find out what the stock will do. Jane_Citizen Nov 17, 02:57

is that wait till it comes out? only my 4th day here Thanks {nm} Professor_of_Truth Nov 17, 03:19

no, not necessarily. sometimes it's better to realise your mistake and cut your losses. Jane_Citizen Nov 17, 14:45

For a small port the best idea is to go for fast gains. You don't want all your H$ tied up for a long time (especially not on a hunch) {nm} slappydavid Nov 17, 14:55

As manager of the Original Idea Fund, I am constantly shorting independent films JohnTEQP Nov 17, 20:02

Love that someone else decided to short WBROX 10,000 shares today WBROXFund Nov 16, 11:52

Don't forget the loser-ports. Shorting funds is easy money. {nm} edzep Nov 16, 12:25

loser-ports? thats a new term to me...should i know what that means or how it plays in HSX? {nm} WBROXFund Nov 16, 14:02

I'm fairly certain I've seen some ports at least as low as -$H30mil. I tried rankings in portfolio link for most neg. but stops at page 1775 {nm} Austinmh Nov 16, 15:21

BionicMoron is an example of a trader going for the gold. The fool's gold. He's at negative 41 million and dropping. {nm} Paul2k Nov 16, 15:23

lowest ranking port is Mercuryslow at -H$206mil lapuckfan Nov 16, 16:42

That is extremely impressive {nm} Austinmh Nov 17, 03:25

Don't take offense. Renew your motivation by burning their accounts, one dollar profit at a time...mouahahaha. {nm} PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 16, 17:46

why is this director not on hsx? Professor_of_Truth Nov 16, 11:39

This might be a good question for the "Suggestion & Feedback" Board...perhaps DMac will explain why.... {nm} Flash Nov 17, 08:07

What does STD gain stand for? {nm} 121Jigowatts Nov 16, 10:14

Season To Date. {nm} Paul2k Nov 16, 10:15

Man, my guess was soooooo far wrong. :<) {nm} Buy StarBondFund (Buy EURO) Nov 16, 14:09

Thanks Paul. {nm} 121Jigowatts Nov 18, 00:26

Wow, you resetters must've been exhausted by all the trading from yesterday, because there're some left-field stocks up today. ;) {nm} Paul2k Nov 16, 04:05

My fund has basically been treading water for the past 2-3 weeks because I thought I knew how to day trade. Apparently I do not. stevie1der328 Nov 16, 05:52

Whatever it takes to keep you from making >50million this week! ;) {nm} Austinmh Nov 16, 06:58

How is the daily interest worked out? {nm} Sideshow13 Nov 16, 03:53

Basically, the site takes your current free cash and multiplies it by 0.0025 then divides by 365. {nm} stevie1der328 Nov 16, 06:48

Aha thank-you makes sense now. Sideshow13 Nov 22, 00:59

The $H Top Traders, be part of a league that is fair to all port sizes! Over 75 members, new competition begins dc82 Nov 16, 02:44

someone should start a moviefund for long term Growth Professor_of_Truth Nov 15, 15:05

what exactly the objective would be? Oleg Max Nov 15, 17:27

Make money long term so folks have two income long and short {nm} Professor_of_Truth Nov 15, 18:49

Couldn't you just 'buy' stocks for the long term? Funds have specific criteria like "old actors" or "animated movies" etc... Flash Nov 16, 07:25

Simple question: if a movie reports no box office, does it cash out at 0 or does it just disappear? 121Jigowatts Nov 15, 14:31

answer... RazorHawk Nov 15, 14:39

Thanks. Since this is the case.... 121Jigowatts Nov 15, 14:57

correct, now let's talk about the exceptions Oleg Max Nov 15, 15:46

Thank you sir, that's helpful. {nm} 121Jigowatts Nov 15, 17:22

"You Didn't Call And Report Your Box Office..." RazorHawk Nov 16, 04:31

You know what's fun? Shorting the same stock several times. JohnTEQP Nov 16, 21:58

But don't you lose money on those repeated shorts because of the minimum $0.02/share commission? {nm} DTravel Nov 17, 08:45

is there any more ways to earn cash Professor_of_Truth Nov 15, 14:02

Other than trading securities? :D No, the three games there are it. {nm} DTravel Nov 15, 14:46

There is one way - refer friends. Get H$25,000 {nm} JohnTEQP Nov 16, 21:59

when do we get paid our daily interest? Professor_of_Truth Nov 15, 13:57

During nightly reset I believe (midnight Pacific Time) {nm} DTravel Nov 15, 14:45

do we see it or does it just add in? {nm} Professor_of_Truth Nov 15, 14:53

It is just added to your available cash. It would be nice if it was reported in the Bank History but it isn't. {nm} DTravel Nov 15, 20:49

why would people buy delisted securities? Professor_of_Truth Nov 15, 13:52

You can't trade delisted securities. {nm} DTravel Nov 15, 14:45

are we allowed to ask what other stocks people think are good buys Professor_of_Truth Nov 15, 13:45

Generally, no, you can not ask or tell people here what stock is a good buy or a bad buy UNLESS you back it up with facts. Example inside. Paul2k Nov 15, 14:41

Someone would still call you on it...no names. {nm} PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 16, 21:46

...you could add "in my opinion" to Paul2K's statement...generally HSX has allowed those types of posts...in my experience here anyway.. {nm} Flash Nov 17, 08:09

The issue is - why would anyone answer that kind of question? {nm} JohnTEQP Nov 22, 21:24

StarBonds Help yashoo Nov 15, 11:36

Dirty Girl is a limited release and as such is not included in her TAG until 12/27 {nm} KaiGee Nov 15, 11:54

Dirty Girl is still in limited release and it's gross should not get counted towards its TAG. It will adjust for it next EuroFund Nov 15, 11:55

Thanks guys. I should have paid closer attention! {nm} yashoo Nov 15, 12:11

Adjust Price Question SolC9 Nov 15, 05:32

Typically, if a 'holiday' falls on a Sunday, then Monday is the day "off" for most workers...the Glossary from HSX says about Adjusts.... Flash Nov 15, 07:24

The assumption then would be that HSX would give that movie a "Two-Day weekend" designation of Sun-Mon, and use a mult of 4.8. But we'd have Paul2k Nov 15, 07:30

As always, "the Calendar is your friend"...Nightmare {nm} Buy StarBondFund (Buy EURO) Nov 15, 09:22

Which would be nice if the calendar for the next two months was available.... {nm} DTravel Nov 15, 11:06

Hear hear! {nm} Jane_Citizen Nov 15, 14:11

+1 {nm} PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 16, 21:44
