Playing & Trading Strategy

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

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

Yay! {nm} RazorHawk Oct 31, 13:08

what? jaymel Oct 27, 16:11

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

Drop Down Box Issues! dremmah Oct 26, 21:21

Using Firefox they're working fine. What browser are you using? {nm} DTravel Oct 26, 23:11

Some people had reported it in the feedback forum, 4 or 6 months ago. I think it was from a too-new version of Internet Explorer. {nm} edzep Oct 27, 01:23

Huh... my FF7 just started... flyover menus not working. {nm} edzep Oct 29, 15:53

I've never used greasemonkey. Can somebody tell me where to get it and what it does Please? Rigit Oct 26, 08:55

sorry about the double post {nm} Rigit Oct 26, 08:56

Join Port Monkey league .. it gives all you need. {nm} grammar Oct 28, 11:43

Can someone explain greasemonkey and its' usefulness to an old veteran? I found a page that mostly deals Rigit Oct 25, 10:58

Some shlub may have made a script to do multiple trades (not allowed by HSX), but, the primary use for us, of Greasemonkey, is edzep Oct 25, 13:41

Thank you I don't neeed the multiple trade bit but there was something about being able to very closely follow any given stock. Rigit Oct 26, 09:10

To follow a particular stock, you should first own 1 or more shares in your portfolio. Then you're able to see edzep Oct 26, 10:03

yay! {nm} RazorHawk Oct 24, 17:03

This board is unusually dead. {nm} edzep Oct 23, 13:45

Well..it's mainly for new players to ask questions, learn tips, etc... and most questions have been asked / answered. :-) {nm} Flash Oct 23, 15:34

yea... jaymel Oct 17, 17:55

The first step is the hardest! Well done. {nm} Rocket Oct 17, 18:12

Woot! Excellent work! {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Oct 17, 21:20

Congrats keep it up laujer Oct 20, 07:00

Excellent - popped my 10 mill cherry a couple of days ago. Gunning for my first 1 mill day now, but congrats! Sideshow13 Oct 20, 07:35

Hey Paul, accountant_4_Jesus Oct 16, 19:14

I was active from 97 through 2001, then tapered off and only checked the port a handful of times a year until last Paul2k Oct 16, 19:59

Ah, I see. I have always been trading, but like you, I ignored the forums for ages (because I thought I knew best!) accountant_4_Jesus Oct 17, 03:19

some people who read the forums still think they know best...lol {nm} tealfan Oct 17, 19:02

If we didn't know best, why would we need to be here proving it? :P {nm} DTravel Oct 17, 20:51
