Two questions (one regarding terminology, one regarding limited releases) Ruthian23 Sep 17, 10:55

internal multiplier... tealfan Sep 17, 17:07

to the point! i just gave him a whole novel on it ;) {nm} islander Sep 17, 17:09

yours is the follow-up that adds more details :) {nm} tealfan Sep 17, 18:46

1. Internal Multiplier or IM is a function to forecast a films weekend total based off of Friday numbers... islander Sep 17, 17:08

No, that's actually a great explanation. It makes a lot more sense now. I figured it had something to do with Friday vs. the weekend, but Ruthian23 Sep 17, 19:04

More HSX tips!! (10 more!!) momentum858 Sep 17, 07:38

Good advice momentum! {nm} PRodQuanta Sep 17, 09:49

Nice work! {nm} GLAMMGUY Sep 17, 18:23

Help me out. Im_Good_At_Stocks Sep 16, 07:53

I'm guessing you want to know some tips for playing the game, right?? Here's a few.... Flash Sep 16, 08:27

Look at momentum858's post 3 posts down. Great tips in there. Being "in the green" means making money, which is what you want. {nm} PRodQuanta Sep 16, 12:34

Sorry, post is 5 posts down. Link inside: PRodQuanta Sep 16, 12:36

How many weeks do star bonds adjust for films in limited release? {nm} laujer Sep 15, 10:49

12 weeks. unless the film doesnt report box office, then the starbonds get detached and dont adjust {nm} islander Sep 15, 11:33

I'd like to surmise a bit about reset trading, if I may... accountant_4_Jesus Sep 15, 00:46

Yes, but it's obvious that advantages mostly the people who have lots of time to spend in front of the computer checking hsx... slappydavid Sep 15, 05:37

Not really... accountant_4_Jesus Sep 15, 06:08

I meant the volatility that reset trading causes... not the actual reset trading slappydavid Sep 15, 06:59

And I apologize if my english-as-a-second-language word selection makes it hard to understand my arguments... :) {nm} slappydavid Sep 15, 07:05

No, that's no problem, I understood what you were trying to say. accountant_4_Jesus Sep 16, 00:28

10 Top Tips how to be Green Everyday momentum858 Sep 13, 14:22

You forgot Tip 11- Change your name to Paul2k. {nm} Paul2k Sep 13, 15:20

It's obviously not that easy... :) {nm} Paul2k Sep 13, 15:28

Good tips momentum. I trade in accordance to your tips and I've been green most days. {nm} PRodQuanta Sep 13, 15:29

I had to learn #5 the hard way.... kept saying "this is value stock at this price... it has to come back".. hahaha {nm} dioneta Sep 13, 19:04

12. Stay on your computer at all times or else you'll lose half the profits you made from that big gainer in only thirty minutes. {nm} stevie1der328 Sep 14, 09:47

How do you fair this month (September)? Just in 13 days, I have lost H$41M + and still dropping.. {nm} bumble28 Sep 13, 06:16

I'm up around 13M. I just didn't have many long term investments, so it was easy to just drop or reverse the bleeders... {nm} slappydavid Sep 13, 06:36

I would like to have done that as well but the fees would have been too high {nm} bumble28 Sep 13, 06:47

really? if you were nimble and could be up 13M vs. down 41M, you wouldn't do it b/c of trading fees? why? ndmaster Sep 13, 08:11

I can understand why it would be such a bother for some of the bigger ports... slappydavid Sep 13, 09:39

I was holding most of the bigger films with release dates long, but have slowly switched many of them over to short over the past week. Ate Paul2k Sep 13, 09:57

I'm up around $11M. However, I took the first 5 days off of September since I was gone on vacay (was holding 0 moviestocks, all starbonds) {nm} PRodQuanta aka Otter Sep 13, 09:50

That's 0.03% of your port value. {nm} Antibody Sep 13, 09:54

Agreed. Kind of a drop in the bucket. {nm} PRodQuanta aka Otter Sep 13, 10:03

What happened??? {nm} redhd Sep 13, 09:55

what stunning to me is that while ive lost about 8 or 9 mil this month, i have picked up like 20 spots! islander Sep 13, 10:36

Looks like the gainers are actively trading while those doing nothing or dormant are losing. {nm} Antibody Sep 13, 10:42

I'm with Bumble. Getting absolutely hammered this month. berndog62 Sep 13, 10:59

I have an emeritus professor who said the same thing about his retirement fund when the Dow got hit so hard a month ago... {nm} PRodQuanta Sep 13, 11:00

I'm up about 2 mil, with starbonds and a recent cashout of HP BW making up a good part of that. 35% of port {nm} perply1 Sep 13, 13:40

looks like I went into red today for the MTD. so far only about 3-4 mill... {nm} Oleg Max Sep 13, 13:48

Is this the great HSX market crash? I'm down 1.2 million today, but still in the green for the month. {nm} Steved1998 Sep 13, 14:22

I'm just watching my port crash and burn. Not really interested in taking the time to fix it. {nm} The Claw Sep 13, 17:30

I'm up $14m since beginning of September (since you asked) Jane_Citizen Sep 14, 00:16

Hey Flash! I just passed you! Or, rather, you just passed me on the way down. accountant_4_Jesus Sep 13, 00:31

Yeah, my port's been bleeding (like many) and I don't really 'bail' on stocks I hold... ahhh, the fun! :-) {nm} Flash Sep 13, 08:41

How much can a single purchase/sale of a movie move the needle? dioneta Sep 12, 18:20

"options" as in, I was looking at buying/selling opportunities. The quesion at hand refers to movie stocks {nm} dioneta Sep 12, 18:24

It can vary - from 0 to 20 or more cents. Depends on shares traded, price of stock, # bought vs sold, cover, short, etc, {nm} JDolphin Sep 12, 23:01

Studio fund managing advice stevie1der328 Sep 12, 09:29

Advanced Search, Security pulldown to MovieStock, Distributor pulldown to studio. {nm} Antibody Sep 12, 09:44

Wow, I've never used that feature before, that {nm} stevie1der328 Sep 12, 10:38

Wow, I've never used that feature before, that's awesome. {nm} stevie1der328 Sep 12, 10:38

whoops, not sure what happened there. {nm} stevie1der328 Sep 12, 10:39

i think hsx advanced search is better than a studios website. do a search for moviestocks by distributor for all fox studios (remember islander Sep 12, 09:45

that's good advice, I'm not really on social media much, maybe will have to change that. Thanks! {nm} stevie1der328 Sep 12, 10:40

All of that is indeed very useful... slappydavid Sep 12, 10:58

tv stocks are a no. as for lionsgate specifically, i dont know which are allowed, better to ask. {nm} islander Sep 12, 12:10

I'm also waiting for further instructions, can't wait! :) {nm} slappydavid Sep 12, 10:27

Sweet, which one are you doing? If you say Disney, I'm jealous, that was my first choice. {nm} stevie1der328 Sep 12, 10:39

Lionsgate! I'm pretty happy with it! :) {nm} slappydavid Sep 12, 10:45

First rule: Always long TPERR. Seriously, the key is to have a good read on your openers. Buy StarBond Fund (a big 1-0) Sep 12, 11:28

Thanks! :) {nm} slappydavid Sep 12, 11:53

My fiancee is a HUGE Hunger Games fan. So, since she'll be seeing that three times in the first four weeks, I'd say Long all the way! {nm} stevie1der328 Sep 12, 11:39

what if it stinks? will she still see it 3 times? :) {nm} islander Sep 12, 12:11

Yes... RazorHawk Sep 12, 14:01

Plus you're forgetting the time she drags me to the movie so I can see for myself that it stinks. {nm} stevie1der328 Sep 12, 14:16

Hey RazorHawk... accountant_4_Jesus Sep 11, 21:21

Amen to that. Thanks to Razorhawk's site and Kaigee's site, starbonds are my bread and butter. {nm} perply1 Sep 12, 15:12

Ditto, thanks RH! {nm} JohnTEQP Sep 12, 23:14

Did the global economy, finally catch up to HSX? lordbragg Sep 11, 07:07

It's those stock blocking tea baggers. {nm} Buy StarBond Fund Sep 11, 09:50

A DOWNWARD TREND TODAY -- Why? berndog62 Sep 10, 12:17

Here are ideas for downtrend: momentum858 Sep 10, 12:22

September has been awful for my big port. berndog62 Sep 11, 09:51

How many ports do you have? {nm} RazorHawk Sep 11, 10:36

I only have one port. berndog62 Sep 12, 08:28

You're not alone...I've lost over $30M myself in mine as well.... was hoping to hit $2B by year's end... not sure now! {nm} Flash Sep 11, 10:57

Sequels have a big part on that cmbastos Sep 12, 07:14

Glad to hear it's not just me {nm} JohnTEQP Sep 12, 23:16

Heres how to maximize return momentum858 Sep 10, 12:16

My method (I've posted this before) is to alternate lots of selling and shorting...25k sell, 25k short, 25k sell, 25 short {nm} Paul2k Sep 10, 12:54

Does your method cause more profit than momentum's? {nm} Otter Sep 10, 17:50

I don't know. I think it might be the same profit. The maths is too much for me to deal with. :) {nm} Paul2k Sep 10, 21:16

Haha. Good to know. I have always done the method momentum outlined. I'd run the math but the cost -to-care ratio is >>1... {nm} PRodQuanta Sep 12, 09:04

Cashing out Max Short positions and re Shorting @ max voodoo_mutt Sep 09, 23:51

My personal opinion: accountant_4_Jesus Sep 10, 00:44

Don't forget commission as well - that will eat into your profits {nm} srrichardson Sep 10, 01:11

There's an old HSX fansite that has an opinion on 'reshorting' ... Unifex Sep 10, 04:55

There are 2 different levels of players. Personally, I have EVERY security and almost 2 B in cash. So...the big port does reshort. Buy StarBond Funds Sep 10, 06:43

Sorry....uberports do NOT need to reshort. Left out 2 letters. {nm} Buy StarBond Funds Sep 10, 06:47

Thanks for the replies. Learning has occurred {nm} voodoo_mutt Sep 10, 08:59
