Thanks for the explanation Ruthian23 Aug 24, 21:25

Why is the Harry Potter Blockbuster not worth $66 ??? Lixxiq Aug 23, 22:11

Price of an equity isn't about it's actual worth alfpaul Aug 23, 22:33

probably most everyone is maxed out on it already...the rest are either unaware or they know they can wait {nm} tealfan Aug 23, 22:53

oops...meant as reply to Lixxiq {nm} tealfan Aug 23, 23:24

Be patient...when it cashes out, you'll get what the correct value is at that time... {nm} Flash Aug 24, 09:46

Seems like there are quite a few new players these days. Here's an old post (revised) with my "top 10 starter tips" for small ports. PVL Admin Aug 23, 21:23

good tips, but not much detail. like how do you pick stocks that will have high DROI? or how much movement do you expect b/c news on a movie Fitch3k Aug 25, 11:41

Those are good tips {nm} Nobody May 24, 10:34

Question about IPOs Ruthian23 Aug 23, 09:42

Ugh, I just figured it out myself literally seconds after I asked the question. Ruthian23 Aug 23, 09:45

UGH I HATE RESETTERS {nm} Dorfman Aug 23, 06:45

Don't hate the resetters, hate the way the game favors resetters. PrezBO Aug 23, 09:11

how does the game favor resetters? ndmaster Aug 23, 10:21

Out of the current top 10 movers up/down alfpaul Aug 23, 10:38

I don't. You just have to know how to play the movements. In 15 minutes after reset today my port was up $1.5M. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 23, 14:56

It's not like I'm going to do it, but I would definately would love to hear about it... slappydavid Aug 24, 05:38

Ok, here's what I have to say about it... accountant_4_Jesus Aug 24, 05:53

I would add, though... accountant_4_Jesus Aug 24, 06:10

Yes... slappydavid Aug 24, 07:53

why do stocks that went up one day most often go down at reset? does it take less volume to move a stock at reset? Fitch3k Aug 25, 11:33

The reason is that reset traders get in first and set the tone of the movement for the day. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 25, 13:29

completely disagree with the message part (and don't take that personally ;)) alfpaul Aug 25, 17:16

Yes I know that, because I've watched that happen. I was a bit lazy and didn't spell that out in my earlier message. Sorry about that. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 26, 04:06

awesome post-text color choice! {nm} EggNogAdam Aug 23, 03:39

But alas, 'twas spam. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 23, 04:38

When the Post Adjust Bond Show said "will go down 2.9 points" does it mean PERCENTAGE points? EggNogAdam Aug 22, 09:54

No. Points = $ {nm} Roger More Aug 22, 10:33

Love The name, by the way. Thanks! {nm} EggNogAdam Aug 22, 14:17

~Sorry, I'm getting a "page not found" error when clicking on the link?? Maybe it's just me? {nm} Flash Aug 22, 11:49

Is there a good article about how to handle movies after their opening weekend's adjust? Like FRNIT. Thx {nm} theycallmediddy Aug 21, 15:29

What do you mean? When should you sell an opener? Hold onto it? Short it? Cover it? Flash Aug 21, 22:17

Already very helpful post, thanks. Read more... theycallmediddy Aug 22, 04:54

there are patterns you can sometimes rely on. examples: islander Aug 22, 06:23

Well, a couple of things I've noticed regarding Flash Aug 22, 07:50

I love you guys and I love this thread! Good question, great answers! Thanks, from a 3rd party! {nm} KaylahCOV Aug 22, 09:29

Well, if it helps a teenie bit, then glad it did... most of the time, I'm waaay off base. lol {nm} Flash Aug 22, 11:51

really great input by everybody, very helpful, thanks! {nm} theycallmediddy Aug 22, 14:00

also, your "gut feeling" gets more accurate with more data and more experience...keep feeding that gut...lol {nm} tealfan Aug 22, 17:35

Does HSX still have specific days/hours that they do not charge commission? {nm} bumble28 Aug 19, 12:47

Nope nope. That was done away with. {nm} PRodQuanta Aug 19, 13:24

When will TV Stocks open? {nm} as329105 Aug 19, 11:52

Just before the new TV Season. Watch the Celendar. ...last year CW started early so their warrants IPO'd first. {nm} Buy BONDS 17 Now (EURO Too) Aug 19, 19:10

this is how it works: Jane_Citizen Aug 18, 18:10

oops...sorry I had them in the wrong order {nm} tealfan Aug 18, 18:51

all good now! {nm} Jane_Citizen Aug 19, 05:56

I'm past 100M, so I keep thinking about applying for a fund... slappydavid Aug 18, 09:45

congrats, man! I'm Jealous! {nm} GuitarGenius7 Aug 18, 09:57

Alot of HOW successful funds are at reaching their delist goal can be due Flash Aug 18, 10:13

That makes sense... slappydavid Aug 18, 11:45

I'd try to identify a theme that was more Starbond oriented. Bonds allow for a more guaranteed return. I ran the MojaveMeg Aug 18, 13:24

However, movie funds that are too open in investment options are not approved. Antibody Aug 18, 14:30

Can funds daytrade stocks that don't fit within their fund limitations? Flash Aug 19, 07:59

Of course not. {nm} Antibody Aug 19, 10:26

I didn't think so, but daytrading seems to be a very limited area for funds, that's all I meant... thanks for the info! {nm} Flash Aug 19, 14:31

How do you formally apply for a fund if you have an idea? {nm} stevie1der328 Aug 19, 11:40

nevermind {nm} stevie1der328 Aug 19, 11:42

Maybe you can run a fund that only invests in movies post-adjust {nm} JohnTEQP Aug 22, 19:44

A couple of quick questions... broy7 Aug 17, 15:31

For your first question, all cashout timelines are on the Market Calendar under the News & Events tab. There are no commissions on cashouts. {nm} PRodQuanta Aug 17, 15:48

I know that the cashouts are in the Market Calendar, but The Help isn't listed yet (too far into the future). It was released wednesday, but broy7 Aug 17, 17:03

HSX has said the reason they don't allow "stop loss" orders is because Flash Aug 17, 18:48

Sorry...for some reason, this posted 'here'...and it belongs under the 'Limit Orders' post below... {nm} Flash Aug 18, 07:59

MovieStocks of wide release films cash out after four weeks of wide release. Antibody Aug 17, 17:30

it'd be great if the market calendar delists/OW adusts data went four weeks ahead? Jane_Citizen Aug 18, 18:21

... also, if my tea could be brought to me in bed in the mornings, that would be convenient. {nm} Jane_Citizen Aug 18, 18:23

Hmm... Don't really see that happening any time soon. :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 19, 00:17

Limit orders Worlock Aug 17, 10:15

I know they can in some situations be helpful, but I generally look at limit orders as worthless on here... PRodQuanta Aug 17, 10:22

Personally find limit buys useful alfpaul Aug 17, 10:25

Ya, I agree. That's why I said they can be in some situations. {nm} PRodQuanta Aug 17, 11:46

I find them useful as a lot happens when I'm asleep srrichardson Aug 17, 23:14

Thanks Worlock Aug 17, 10:35

um.....you can't alfpaul Aug 17, 10:22

I have a new goal: Attempt to make $1B each year from this year onwards. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 17, 06:33

I do it and the days that I can and let me say this: be careful. I had a similar initial experience, then I started waking up to find that PRodQuanta Aug 17, 09:36

I've never done it. My sleep is too precious... Accountant's from Australia I think, so he doesn't have to deal with the sleeping part {nm} slappydavid Aug 17, 12:21

Oh, that's nice. I would go for it then! {nm} PRodQuanta Aug 17, 12:28

Yes I am from Australia. But I woke up this morning to a nasty experience... Next-to all the gains I made last night were wiped out. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 17, 17:13

Yeah, reset movers are not day-long investments, that much I know. Actually I think your time zone is close to perfect for reset play slappydavid Aug 17, 18:27

Well, I didn't actually know until now that reset movers aren't day-long investments. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 17, 20:04

I've never understood something. Dorfman Aug 17, 02:28

I honestly have no idea myself... accountant_4_Jesus Aug 17, 05:38

Connected to that... srrichardson Aug 17, 08:48

THAT is annoying. I hate when news comes out and I have little money in the bank and I try to buy a stock max and it rejects it... {nm} PRodQuanta Aug 17, 09:27

My theory: PRodQuanta Aug 17, 09:30

However, I do understand that it is frustrating to want to buy a stock at price x and you are actually paying x + some perturbation. {nm} PRodQuanta Aug 17, 09:32

Yes, otherwise it's nearly an automatic profit on every trade. {nm} Antibody Aug 17, 11:56
