Guess which theme movie fund is #1 in value (and not in top 25 in wideley held?) Aug 03, 11:43
Lets be sarcastic about those who do NOT invest in fuinds that work. EURO gets no respect. Pity the Fools who ignore it. {nm} Aug 03, 20:06
The exchange runs 24 hours a day, is set to PST, and "resets" the up/down movement counters daily at midnight PST. {nm} Aug 03, 15:40
Thanks, Paul2k. I guess I was specifically wondering if industry news comes out on ... thursdays? Monday evenings? Aug 04, 03:49
News usually rolls out anywhere between 9 AM and 6 PM PST, Mon-Fri (business time in L.A.); but that's not hard and fast. {nm} Aug 04, 06:57
heh heh heh ! {nm} Aug 04, 08:00
Arbitrage? Aug 01, 19:20
Star Bonds can be arbed. Aug 01, 20:29
I think my example is pure arbitrage -- 100% probability of making a profit doing this trade sequence with derivatives.... Aug 01, 20:46
If i Learned correctly.... Definitely not Pure Arbitrage Aug 03, 17:04
Not my understanding Aug 03, 23:16
yeah its not ARB unless its already made more money than what the stock or bond is trading at {nm} Aug 04, 07:30
I disagree, it IS 100% arbitrage....(Dorfman et al.) Aug 04, 21:25
It's a "Convergence Trade"... i.e., arbitrage Aug 04, 21:36
No, a convergance trade only involves 2 assets Aug 04, 23:04
alfpaul -- convergence involves two POSITIONS, not two ASSETS - nm Aug 09, 20:31
I see your point Aug 04, 23:10
Something's wrong with Rocket's PVL monthly winners post below, I click on it and nothing comes up... Is it just me?? {nm} Aug 01, 18:15
Fine to me, you've won two leagues... congrats {nm} Aug 01, 18:55
Worked fine for me....maybe u need to upgrade IE or switch to Firefox? {nm} Aug 01, 19:00
I use IE9, had some troubles before, but nothing like this... {nm} Aug 01, 19:10
I see it on both IE9 and Firefox Aug 01, 19:17
Yeah, I think its your browser then Aug 01, 19:25
I'll check out firefox then. Thanks for you help! {nm} Aug 01, 19:27
Works fine with firefox... :) Aug 01, 19:40
Firefox -- now you're equipped to check out legendary Port Monkey! Aug 01, 19:54
Awesome! I'm in! Thanks! {nm} Aug 01, 20:22
I know this is not related to this board... Apologies... {nm} Aug 01, 19:42
The only thing that's wrong is that I came in third...I'll get you next month (you know who you are). :) {nm} Aug 01, 20:40
Congratulations to this month's Port Value League winners! (results inside) Aug 01, 16:58
Opened port for first time in a couple of months. down almost 6% ytd. Summer blockbusters must have sucked!!! nm Jul 31, 21:36
Your port is like a fine wine - Needs to be cared for in order for it to grow {nm} Aug 01, 16:08
do you mean grapes? :^) {nm} Aug 01, 16:21
Hi hi If you want to prove you have strategy apply to join my league. Winner eill be crowned at the end of this week {nm} Jul 30, 08:10
The league is Strategy winner {nm} Jul 30, 08:11
Thank you LucasFilm Jul 30, 07:35
Why are halts on Saturday? Shouldn't they be earlier? {nm} Jul 30, 02:37
They _should_ be. The .OW's are to make up for having moved the halts (in a bid for more Satruday player activity) {nm} Jul 30, 06:40
ah, makes sense {nm} Jul 30, 10:30
The halts used to be on Saturdays years ago... which was nice.... Jul 30, 07:46
Plugging my league: if you are trading from NZ or Aust, come join ... Jul 29, 21:21
i'll try that and do smaller orders. Ya gotta love port monkey {nm} Jul 29, 10:17
Would not the previous transactions influence (adversely) the price at which the later transactions were executed?{nm} Jul 29, 17:02
Is that logical? Jul 29, 20:14
*you're getting in at a lower price (I meant) {nm} Jul 29, 20:14
I think your maths is right, yeah - I'm going to have to do an experiment to demonstrate it to myself Jul 30, 04:40
just hit 1 billion today Jul 28, 20:03
woohoo! {nm} Jul 28, 20:06
Congratulations on your first billion...and your first post. {nm} Jul 28, 20:26
Sweet milestone. Congrats! {nm} Jul 28, 20:34
wow. Super Jelly! {nm} Jul 29, 05:24
Congrats! You should post this on the Movies board, you'll get more well deserved kudos there. {nm} Jul 29, 07:11
wow congrats {nm} Jul 29, 09:48
One billion is definitely worth a congrats :) {nm} Jul 30, 04:40
Still Mad Jelly! {nm} Jul 30, 12:33
great job must be a big step and gold {nm} Aug 08, 09:05
you would be rich!!!!javascript:EmotionsDialog.insert('smiley-money-mouth.gif','emotions_dlg.money_mouth'); Aug 08, 09:07
call / put theory help Jul 28, 19:51
Ok, bear with me... Jul 28, 20:13
Correction, the Call for The Smurfs is for $25M, not $20M. {nm} Jul 28, 20:14
The math isn't that hard Jul 28, 22:04
I'm a little surprised to hear a seasoned player say that 'because it is trading at $60, so it will probably adjust near that' Jul 28, 22:26
Yeah, I was pretty spectacularly wrong on this one Aug 01, 12:17
Hey Flash - I expect to be through your part of the country on Aug 11th. If you're still in that part of the country... {nm} Jul 28, 16:38
Yep...we're still here... been a fairly mild summer so far... Jul 29, 08:47
I remember your Kanab trip... I think you need to stick around St. George for awhile! :-) {nm} Jul 29, 15:58
Maybe for the October trip I should stay overnight in St. George rather than Vegas. I can make Kanab in a day but I don't Jul 29, 17:31
I was really stalled for a while after the most recent changes. Summer's been good to me the last couple of months. {nm} Jul 29, 11:51
Well.. DUH... the last time *I* looked you were $2B+... now it's FIVE??? Wow... would you manage MY port for awhile?? lol {nm} Jul 29, 15:59
Shut the front door! I didn't realize that I could place limit orders! All this time I didn't know {nm} Jul 28, 13:12
You could also have reversed on the stocks that were probably gonna go up/down on reset b4 u went to sleep {nm} Jul 28, 13:57
Yeah, I know and I sometimes do that. However, that doesn't always work either. {nm} Jul 28, 14:35
careful though, stop loss does not work {nm} Jul 28, 16:16
Thanks lapuckfan. I also just read that in the FAQ section. That would be awesome! {nm} Jul 28, 16:20
Never played Openers before. Please help me to make sure I get the idea - Jul 28, 09:49
saturday?? Wait... is it OW calls and puts that halt on Friday, then? {nm} Jul 28, 10:01
correct. {nm} Jul 28, 10:17
Is it stupid to let my WO earnings (if positive) sit till Monday or Tuesday? To hang onto them (cause I'm away)? {nm} Jul 28, 09:56
Again, Thank You. Is there a specific time when trading is allowed on openers on Sunday? Jul 28, 11:37
The adjust happens around mid-morning Sunday - as soon as the ERC estimates come in. The joke was always that Jul 28, 12:39
a wealth of information. Thank you. This is the first time I've ever bothered to ask questions. Wish I had asked earlier. {nm} Jul 28, 12:51
Check the Announcement Board for previous MovieStock Adjusts, which are usually between 10-11 am Pacific. Jul 28, 14:13
well said! And thank you for some 3rd person info that I didn't have, myself! {nm} Jul 28, 11:31
Are there any apps available for HSX? News, forums or actual trading? {nm} Jul 28, 03:52
nope, no apps. tho you can use hsx.com/mobile Jul 28, 04:54
might have to give that a go. thanks. {nm} Jul 28, 09:43
...Speaking of old players... I see "Bonnie" on the LTD board...(TWO BIG ports!) Bonnie come back and post once in awhile! Jul 27, 19:39
yes, I miss Bonnie, also OTT, who I think is happyone (?); I miss both of your posts {nm} Jul 28, 09:18
I don't play anymore except to restack my port sometimes. hope you are well. {nm} Jul 28, 14:32
I don't know who that is. ;) - Jul 28, 18:42
Aww...soo good to see ya! I miss the old crew around here! You should come more! Your port is a KILLER! Congrats! {nm} Jul 29, 08:49
How does Funds share price works? Jul 27, 19:20
The price goes up by the movies, bonds, etc., they earn on various films, etc.. Jul 27, 19:33
Thanks Flash Jul 27, 19:41
Additionally, a fund is valued at H$1 for every million of net value. Each theme fund manager starts with H$20 million and the Jul 27, 21:11
Nope...I've not ever been a fund manager...but MojaveMeg who posted in your thread here has! :-) {nm} Jul 28, 07:11
Is it better: buy higher # of cheaper shares or lower # of expensive shares? Jul 27, 14:27
um, you buy neither Jul 27, 15:10
if you had to though Jul 27, 15:13
If you're strictly daytrading (which I don't suggest for small ports) I would stick with Jul 27, 19:17
I appreciate your input! Thank you! {nm} Jul 28, 02:59
You're welcome. Good luck. {nm} Jul 28, 07:12
how do you arrive at 3% to be the goal? Thank you! {nm} Jul 28, 03:00
Commission both ways Jul 28, 08:45
openers... I can't usually play on FRIDAYS. Should I buy my openers on Thursday, then? {nm} Jul 28, 03:42
Sure...why not? If you think they'll adjust up..long'em.. if you think they won't.. short them. Jul 28, 07:13
thank you {nm} Jul 28, 09:31
uh... one question on put/call. Jul 28, 14:28
