Playing & Trading Strategy

is there fees for buying stuff? Professor_of_Truth Nov 14, 18:35

1 Pct (.01) commission in and out....no commission on delisted securities. {nm} Buy StarBondFund (Buy EURO) Nov 14, 18:46

With a minimum commission of 0.02. {nm} Antibody Nov 15, 09:57

Yes. Make sure you read all the help topics at the bottom. {nm} PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 14, 18:46

I had not noticed that you had taken over the fund...Darn, that may put you over the top before BONDS... mrbinns Nov 14, 10:00

Yup about a month ago. Lots of easy $ films this next few weeks, should be able beat you to 100! {nm} islander Nov 14, 10:09

islander, the fund fixit guru is duly noted for [BRITS] {nm} Buy StarBondFund (Buy EURO) Nov 14, 10:56

Yeah, that was a crazy summer for the Euro fund. EuroFund Nov 15, 11:52

Looking at fund holdings for TWLI4, it is amazing. Only SQUEL has a big holding (75K) and SUMMX is almost all in with mrbinns Nov 14, 09:42

ha i was going to say most fund managers were dopes, then realized *I* am a dope as well for missing twli! thanks binns {nm} islander Nov 14, 09:44

TWLI4 does not qualify for ASIAN (JRATH is not Asian descent) or AMATN (special effects do not count, only fully animated characters). {nm} Antibody Nov 14, 10:36

According to iMDB bio, JRATH was born in Singapore. He is as Sinaporean as EMWAT is French and NKIDM is American and Bob Hope British. Buy StarBondFund (Buy EURO) Nov 14, 11:02

Asican descent = ethnic Asian. Being born in Singapore doesn't make you ethnically Asian. {nm} Antibody Nov 14, 12:13

I know a lovely lady, blond hair, blue eyes, born in Johannesburg. She is African...and when she gets naturalized, Buy StarBondFund Nov 14, 15:49

And she would NOT have qualified for KAMAL, the black AFRAM fund. {nm} Antibody Nov 15, 09:59

Thanks for the heads up {nm} ZooFund Nov 14, 16:33

too bad none of the cast was born in Europe. I was trying to find at least one... no luck.. {nm} EuroFund Nov 15, 11:49

Of course, it REALLY does not qualify for me OriginalFund Nov 16, 22:12

What about a romantic fund? Antibody, wasn't there a fund for movies about love stories? {nm} OriginalFund Nov 16, 22:13

Forum styler script for Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc. edzep Nov 10, 15:45

really appreciate all the work you've been doing...must be a lot of work...I guess it's just for love of the game? :) {nm} tealfan Nov 10, 17:23

It keeps me out of trouble. {nm} edzep Nov 11, 03:29

Microsoft appreciates the sudden drop in attacks...and we appreciate the monkey! {nm} PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 11, 23:07

...Nice of you to do... appreciate the effort. {nm} Flash Nov 11, 08:11

As usual, another good script. 1 problem - the Forum Main Page link goes to the 1st page of the section you are in, not the main forum page {nm} JDolphin Nov 11, 14:50

Thanks. It's as designed. Think of it as Current Forum Main Page, a generic renaming of the link that already appears on every forum page. {nm} edzep Nov 11, 15:08

i dont know what i am doing kmart18933 Nov 08, 09:15

well this game really isnt for 3rd graders... have you at least tried reading the help sections at the bottom of the page? {nm} islander Nov 08, 09:20

Important terminology to learn: Buy StarBond Fund Nov 08, 10:11

Two posts that might help PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 08, 11:57

Well... here are some "basic" tips and helps for newer players with small ports... Flash Nov 08, 12:01

buy the funds {nm} blaze223 Nov 10, 02:01

That's the most boring strategy advice ever. Jane_Citizen Nov 10, 04:01

all due respect :) heh heh {nm} Jane_Citizen Nov 10, 04:02

As a fund manager, I probably shouldn't be saying this, but Jane's right OriginalFund Nov 16, 22:24

there are several funds *not* worthy, about half dozen that routinely lose money! {nm} islander Nov 10, 06:37

is a slow gain better than making nithing at all {nm} blaze223 Nov 10, 12:11

Nup, where's the fun in abdicating all the decisions? {nm} Jane_Citizen Nov 11, 00:29

the guarantee that something in the portfolio will make money {nm} mikethunder Nov 11, 12:52

Starbonds are also a safe investment and make money faster than funds. Plus keigee helps out a lot...hard to miss. {nm} PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 11, 23:10

Ahhh! Reset! *running around, doing my best headless chicken impersonation* {nm} Paul2k Nov 07, 12:06

Will this be the new normal? Reset at 12 PM PST instead of 12 AM PST? Or are we just correcting last night's glitch? {nm} Paul2k Nov 07, 12:44

my sleep pattern would improve if this became the new normal... {nm} WBROXFund Nov 07, 21:43

Haha, WHOA! Didn't even notice. Weird... {nm} PRodQuanta Nov 07, 14:04

Dianne Wiest andre72 Nov 07, 10:22

Because she is attached to BIGYR (The Big Year) which will be delisted. {nm} nicheno Nov 07, 11:42

It was a typo. {nm} Antibody Nov 07, 12:01

Is the manager of Summit Studio active? {nm} karspov Nov 05, 06:13

Yes {nm} RazorHawk Nov 05, 08:41

Oh dear {nm} srrichardson Nov 08, 01:00

can someone explain how you go from $2M to $400M in 6 months? {nm} ITGeek Nov 04, 04:26

I think we'd all like to know ;-) {nm} srrichardson Nov 04, 05:11

If I had the time and attention span my plan would be to watch the forums all day. howAREyou Nov 04, 05:30

Buy low. Sell high. Short high. Cover low. accountant_4_Jesus Nov 04, 05:50

leverage. :^) {nm} ndmaster Nov 04, 08:41

Plastics. {nm} edzep Nov 04, 08:43

Well...I can tell you that Grory, (#1 on LTD Board) went from $2M to over $1B in a year! Flash Nov 04, 08:54

I'll be more than happy if I reach 500M in a year. Currently 6 month-old port worth just over 200M... {nm} slappydavid Nov 04, 10:57

What the heck??? And I thought I was good. 121Jigowatts Nov 08, 16:53

practice practice practice... tealfan Nov 04, 12:20

Mastering the fundamentals can only get you so far. It takes talent, and a 6'5 {nm} PRodQuanta Nov 04, 15:07

" frame... {nm} PRodQuanta Nov 04, 15:07

Then I should be set! I'm 6'6"! :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Nov 04, 19:49

Whoa! If you wanna be great though, you also need intangibles. Just ask Tebow... {nm} PRodQuanta Nov 05, 10:40

I may not be great in the sporting arena, but I'm great in the personal skills arena. (It'd take a long time to explain, so I won't here.) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Nov 06, 15:08

So...my friend RH, it comes down to the two of us...Which shall delist first? BANAL or BONDS.....(twists mustache) ..not Buy StarBond Fund Nov 03, 09:32

Starbond Strategy Help PRodQuanta Nov 02, 11:19

I use a hold & forget strategy with starbonds, I normally only check in when they get added to new movies or get detached from non-reporting {nm} lapuckfan Nov 02, 12:04

I follow KaiGee's starbond adjust webpage (found in the community drop down). If you follow correctly, Starbonds are guaranteed $$ {nm} dioneta Nov 02, 14:56

As an aside... I never hold a stock past an adjust unless the next one is in the same direction {nm} dioneta Nov 02, 14:57

if there is going to be a very large up or down adjust, but too far intot he future to hold that lone, i will buy or short for 1 or 2 days. forlorne Nov 02, 15:46

Play the percentages srrichardson Nov 02, 15:07

I don't discriminate wrt port size. Good advice is good advice. Thanks. {nm} PRodQuanta Nov 02, 15:21

I should stipulate, I go by the Dude and KaiGee. All of my stocks are held correctly according to these two sources, but some still go red? {nm} PRodQuanta Nov 02, 15:20

They may go red before they adjust due to speculative trading... Kaigee's numbers are based off of current trading.. dioneta Nov 02, 15:25

I do make money on most, just a couple go the wrong direction. For example, MCOTI has lost me $60,000 since her last adjust, shouldn't she PRodQuanta Nov 02, 16:01

Her next official adjust is ways off and she could potentiall have a smaller film (she has one wrapped open before.. dioneta Nov 02, 16:13

Thanks. Great advice. {nm} PRodQuanta Nov 02, 16:28

I'm sure others may have "better" ways to manage it... but that is the way that made the most mathematical sense to me :) {nm} dioneta Nov 02, 16:33

yes, but e.g. HWEAV has moved up, but i still knnow the adjust will be down on 12/8 unless hpyf2 delists $250 or higher. {nm} forlorne Nov 02, 15:49

Which proves the point that if your buying strategy for Starbonds is based on "adjusts"... you will not lose money {nm} dioneta Nov 02, 16:22

I don't pay too much attention to day to day movement - know what the adjust will be and if that makes it a good star bond then I hold JDolphin Nov 03, 01:13

I guess I am consideered an "expert" so here are my suggestions: Buy StarBond Fund Nov 03, 06:55

Great advice. Thanks binns. I have a fairly unique overall strategy that works quite well, but I was just wondering why PRodQuanta Nov 03, 08:22

My overall strategy in a paragraph: PRodQuanta Nov 03, 08:36

We pretty much have the same strategy. No wonder we've been moving along for a while... slappydavid Nov 03, 11:18

I'm not surprised by this at all... Haha. {nm} PRodQuanta Nov 03, 13:03

Also, when a bond gets attached to or detached from a project, or right after a bond adjusts, there's a flurry of movement on it. Paul2k Nov 03, 08:44

Perfect. Thanks. {nm} PRodQuanta Nov 03, 09:15

It was mentioned above so I guess I should go on to point 3: The dead cat bounce. Buy StarBondFund Nov 03, 08:47

Perfect. Great strategy points. I will implement. {nm} PRodQuanta Nov 03, 09:19

Congratulations to this month's Port Value League winners! (results inside) - a LOT of grads across the Leagues this month! Well done! PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 01, 20:25

We already deliberated in the $95-200 league, and the results should be 1)slappydavid 2)Austinmh 3)PRodQuanta, with Ruthian23 a close 4th {nm} PRodQuanta Nov 01, 23:32

Woot! :D {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Nov 02, 04:55

adn21 is not the #1 in 595-999 league. check that forum "known glitch"... {nm} top100in10yrs Nov 02, 06:17

That's true Jane_Citizen Nov 02, 15:05

Who was 4th. {nm} PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 02, 20:30

I will always remember that time I beat WBROX at something :-) {nm} FOXXFund Nov 01, 18:12

whoops, meant for islander. {nm} FOXXFund Nov 01, 18:13

thats big time managing, keep it up! traders should def. consider investing in fox fund {nm} islander Nov 01, 18:18

Thanks, Fox had some nice releases this month to make money off. Gonna have to rely on news and daytrading for a while now. {nm} FOXXFund Nov 01, 20:05

you had me beat for a day or so i think! WBROXFund Nov 02, 08:40

Yup, about one day, then you took off again. I'll do my best to push you, but with no wide releases until December, it'll be challenging. {nm} FOXXFund Nov 02, 11:54

Top gaining funds for October. Congrats to [EURO] at #1. islander Nov 01, 15:10

Question: How will Christmas Day-Sunday openings be adjusted? DTravel Nov 01, 14:54

i believe last time it happened 2005 films got a sunday-monday 2 day adjust (4.8) and sun-mon calls and puts {nm} islander Nov 01, 15:13

Well Buy StarBondFund Oct 29, 08:27

struggling to get beyond 205 million any tips anyone {nm} blaze223 Oct 27, 12:18

Well...not sure of your playing 'style'... but here's some basic things...nothing really "secret" about it... Flash Oct 27, 13:54

Hey Flash...... MojaveMeg Oct 27, 19:22

Yes....really windy here on Tuesday... blowing everything around... typical fall storm came through... Cedar City got snow..but not us. {nm} Flash Oct 28, 12:54

thanks always seem to be on the wrong side of the wave especially dark tower and lone ranger {nm} blaze223 Oct 28, 01:34

With a smaller port, I would focus on movies coming out in the next few months (6 months tops)...and play the openers without question {nm} dioneta Oct 28, 13:11

Any real good sites/resources for relaible opening prediction?? jk_trader Oct 31, 00:52

How is your port distributed? How many moviestocks? How much H$ in moviestocks? How much of that is short or long? Starbonds? Funds? {nm} Austinmh Oct 28, 09:09

looking at it probably to many long term moviestocks and to much cash not producing anything {nm} blaze223 Oct 29, 06:46

I'm up around 205M too and I could never pick up on long term trading... Still I'm fully invested with all my cash slappydavid Oct 29, 07:41

Quick question about BOWs Ruthian23 Oct 27, 09:35

In that case shorting at 5 would mean that you expect it to do lower than 155. If it cashes out at 0 you win 5... {nm} slappydavid Oct 27, 11:54

BOW? You mean Blockbuster Warrant? With a strike of $150, and you short, you're betting the film makes anything less than $150M in the edzep Oct 27, 11:59

Oh, right, so it'll just be the $5. I was making sure that if the strike price was 150 and it made 80 that you wouldn't get 70 per share on Ruthian23 Oct 27, 12:43
