new ipo deriv's {nm} jtempkin Nov 30, 13:08

I'm having trouble remembering from past years when Nominoptions traditionally IPO. Is it before or after Christmas? {nm} stevie1der328 Nov 30, 08:11

before. last year was around the 17th {nm} islander Nov 30, 09:02

Gracias {nm} stevie1der328 Dec 01, 09:13

Is MLK weekend (1/13-1/16/12) considered a holiday 2,2 adjust or a regular 2.7? Thx. {nm} taranev Nov 29, 07:26

With Monday being the MLK holiday...HSX uses the adjust formulas listed inside (found in the Glossary) Flash Nov 29, 08:24

Useless Starbond trivia relating to Dead Delists DTravel Nov 28, 15:49

True re:useless trivia, but i found it interesting justthe same...ish. {nm} PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 28, 16:01

Over leap years you have to add another day but not really important. {nm} Buy StarBondFund (Buy EURO) Nov 28, 23:41

how do movies opening on dec 25 adjusting? It's Sunday so only 1 day box office. Is the mult like 4 or something? {nm} Rigit Nov 27, 20:05

Since Dec 26 is a bank holiday, ERC will probably issue acutals on Tuesday for a 4 day weekend, (Fri-Mon), 2 day for the Xmas openers... Buy StarBondFund Nov 28, 05:19

Yea I get the Holliday part. Just wondered when they get around to it how's it work. Couldn't remember the 2 day mult from the past. Thanks. {nm} Rigit Nov 28, 11:00

Total number of shares of a stock? Short squeeze? jtempkin Nov 26, 15:37

No fixed amount of shares, and shorts are covered from HSX, not other traders. {nm} Paul2k Nov 26, 15:49

no fixed amount of shares, however similarly to real life, those that hold shares short and see that stock is moving in the wrong direction EuroFund Nov 26, 18:22

Funny you should ask....the parent of HSX, Cantor Fitzgerald, attempted to launch a real money version of HSX where trades could not go Buy StarBondFund (Buy EURO) Nov 26, 20:47

I was thinking about Cantor last week when Hugo and Arthur were trading so high, how much real $ I could have made {nm} islander Nov 27, 05:01

fwiw, there are no adjust on the Cantor Futures Exchange, so those two films could hit those highs. {nm} Antibody Nov 28, 12:01

I hate IPOs. {nm} slappydavid Nov 26, 09:20

??? {nm} DTravel Nov 26, 11:58

Busy morning, ended up losing tons of money on yesterday's IPO... {nm} slappydavid Nov 26, 13:05

It would seem that I've reached the 90% bracket. Yea me? {nm} DTravel Nov 23, 23:00

Yea you {nm} srrichardson Nov 23, 23:07

Good for you! It slows down considerably from 95 on. Still, congrats. {nm} PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 23, 23:27

Anyone want to discuss playing strategy? HAPPY THANKSGIVING {nm} autobot66 Nov 23, 07:45

Challenge oneself with streaks in a row ie 1M 5 days in row, 3M 2days in row etc. {nm} momentum858 Nov 23, 16:29

I think that it's better to see what kind of streaks you're on than to aim for them. I think if you're aiming for a specific number in a day Ruthian23 Nov 24, 05:53

Just to be clear, I don't think that having goals like this in the back of your head is a bad thing, but I'm just saying that you should Ruthian23 Nov 24, 05:55

Just a reminder about .OW stocks... PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 22, 11:10

It's best to check the moviestock page for the OW derivative. ARTHC.OW says in its title that it is Wed-Sun. {nm} Paul2k Nov 22, 11:14

The other two do as well. {nm} Ruthian23 Nov 22, 11:48

OK, I was wrong on this one. Thanks for the correction. {nm} PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 23, 08:48

NP. I was wrong about the Hoover derivatives, and DMac pointed out what I pointed out to you. Now it's your turn to pass along the knowledge {nm} Paul2k Nov 23, 09:02

disappointing that summx is missing out on twli4 islander Nov 21, 10:56

It seems apt that the fund manager appears to go by "Bumble." {nm} DTXbro Nov 21, 13:43

Well they did have 17000 shares long and made about 50cents but they haven't flipped it to short, so their going to lose it all {nm} JDolphin Nov 21, 16:49

Yeah, they also held Three Musketeers the wrong way through the OW as well. {nm} stevie1der328 Nov 22, 08:37

In partial defense, Antibody has used the Studio Funds to try out newer players as fund managers. Thus, we have to be a little Buy StarBondFund Nov 22, 14:04

A few riskers gone wrong is one thing. Negligence is a different thing.{nm} DTXbro Nov 22, 18:43

But if this is your movie of the year and main chance to make money and you ignore it then why let them continue {nm} JDolphin Nov 22, 23:53

caveat emptor {nm} Jane_Citizen Nov 23, 23:54

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
