Playing & Trading Strategy

Trading recently unhalted stocks, does this strategy work? 121Jigowatts Aug 14, 21:00

One can try that method, but you won't find absolute success with it. Any trades made today on a stock that is "frozen" have no effect on Paul2k Aug 14, 21:04

This applies to opening weekend stocks which halt on Sat, adjust and freeze price on Sun; as well as to IPOs that do not meet their reserve. {nm} Paul2k Aug 14, 21:05

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that. Appreciate the fast response. {nm} 121Jigowatts Aug 14, 21:30

Ok, to achieve my goal of $1B in a year, I think I'm going to need to start daytrading. Anyone got some helpful hints? accountant_4_Jesus Aug 14, 13:48

You just want me to be behind you in the rankings again, don't you? :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 14, 20:14

Buy low, sell high. Short high, cover low. Reset trade. {nm} PrezBO Aug 14, 20:33

Some things are easier said than done. Others are easier done than said. Reset trading is the former. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 15, 05:14

Why, it's almost those on the west coast have a bulit-in advantage. Has anyone ever complained about this before? {nm} PrezBO Aug 15, 06:06

I dunno, you seem to be doing pretty well in The Billionaire Society, nipping at my heels. Paul2k Aug 14, 20:51

You know, before you pointed out about that league, I'd completely forgotten I was a member! accountant_4_Jesus Aug 15, 05:13

you need 150 million and have 850 million to invest. I made 200 million in the last 90 days. You should be able to do it in 4 months... PVL Admin Aug 14, 21:05

Thanks for those tips. But I'm actually trying to gain $460M in 4.5 months to have a total of $1B gained this year. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 15, 05:06

You do realize that September, October, and part of November are very slow, right? {nm} PrezBO Aug 15, 06:05

Yes I do. That's why I want to start to reset trade now, to make up for the slowness. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 15, 06:28

Hey Prezbo Dorfman Aug 14, 00:44

Congrats! I've got a couple of traders I'm looking at passing soon too. ;) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 14, 03:18

Harry Potter Blockbuster warrant reZpect Aug 13, 01:51

Yes that's true. The technical term that people here use for that situation is ARB. Not sure if you needed to tag the warrant though. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 13, 07:57

This warrant will probably stay ARB from now until delist. Its potential delist price will keep rising as HPOT8 will probably still be in Buy BONDS 17 Now (EURO Too) Aug 13, 08:54

That's not a bad experiment... Maybe I should try something like it. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 13, 00:55

My results (who started this? can't remember) edzep Aug 13, 15:17

Don't know...but there's gotta be some use for the penny stocks. IMHO, this is it. It can't lose (in the long run). Very long term invest PVL Admin Aug 13, 15:40

So. I will likely manage to lose all of my H$ (even the 2mill starter) in the next month. Do I just start another port? {nm} GuitarGenius7 Aug 12, 06:00

Go into the account settings on the top right of your webpage and reset your account vs. Starting another. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 12, 07:02

but the question is why would she lose all her money? id suggest trying harder to make it. if at 2.1M now, thats better than 2M islander Aug 12, 07:28

That was MY question... HOW are you losing all your $$?? Here's a link to some thoughts I said down the board.. Flash Aug 12, 08:24

Why are star bonds capped at 250 mil per movie? taranev Aug 11, 02:51

because in the case of an actor going from a 500M film to a 1M indie, the price swing would be massive. starbonds are already big easy money islander Aug 11, 05:15

I really think it's time to bump it up to 300M, considering almost every year sees at least one 300M movie now. {nm} LanceStorm22 Aug 11, 07:14

So I need to get 3% out of a stock (or more, of course) in order to have a real GREEN day, right? KaylahCOV Aug 10, 10:57

I believe it's greater than 2% (since commission is 1% per transaction) stokersy Aug 10, 13:23

2.01% would do it if you traded twice (buy in AM sell at night.) It wouldn't be a very green day though. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 10, 16:05

eh. That's what I've been doing. buy in AM, sell in PM. I can come out with a little over 100K a day. Then I play openers... KaylahCOV Aug 10, 17:40

Of course! UNIVX does it daily, although it does feel like classic cash is even harder than regular ports twoshenoudas Aug 10, 10:16

Ignoring opportunities to profit would breach the fiduciary duty owed to investors. (Note to HSEC: Investigate this!) {nm} DTXbro Aug 10, 16:26

Good points all, particularly DTXbro! Thanks, I've shifted strategy and will now be making more money every day! {nm} JohnTEQP Aug 10, 23:23

Last point....20-70 K per day helps offset a little of the commission. Don't feel guilty. {nm} Buy BONDS 17 Now (EURO Too) Aug 11, 05:21
