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
Ugh what a crappy day.. Down half a mil {nm} Jul 27, 12:41
Hang in there, everyone has a bad day every once in a while... {nm} Jul 27, 20:17
Just one thing to say "Plastics" {nm} Jul 28, 08:17
What are adjust (if any) and delist dates for a movie that goes wide after 1 week of limited release? {nm} Jul 27, 03:31
I choose to help you help yourself. Answer is in the Glossary under ADJUST and CASH OUT. {nm} Jul 27, 03:46
Thanks Osmosis - I had tried the glossary but missed the detail. Got it now. {nm} Jul 27, 03:51
Glad I could help. Entry really should say weekends, not weeks since delist is on Monday.(tuesday after long weekends) {nm} Jul 27, 03:58
Commission Free Trades? Jul 26, 20:14
sorry to say they went away long ago...maybe a couple years ago? {nm} Jul 26, 20:16
Thanks for the updates. Very helpful. Jul 26, 20:30
If it was '97 you joined, then you remember Saturday halts back then also...and "Scapey The Goat" as well... :-) Jul 27, 07:32
Hah! Yes, I forgot about Scapey the Goat. I also remember significant lag times on trades . . . Jul 27, 12:34
Yes, I remember all those players... Jul 27, 19:22
Amoxy, Banzai, and Redhead are still around but maybe not playing. We've been hanging out in another forum since some Jul 27, 21:18
Chest! Whoa good to see you! Jul 27, 21:31

I don't know what happened to the inside of my message, but here it is again. Jul 27, 22:54
Hi Trish. Hope you are well. Maybe I'll hit up the new board and say hi soon. been too long :) nm Jul 28, 14:37
Okay, I signed up, but I never got the confirmation e-mail, so I can't post wildly inaccurate information on that site. (nm) Aug 04, 06:17
My Strategy Jul 26, 14:32
My strategy Jul 26, 14:33
Well, with a small port, you must think "short term" I would not invest in any movie that is further out than 30 days... Jul 26, 16:42
Hybrid strat. Jul 26, 23:02
There's many ways to make $$ here...many trading styles... however, my point was only that Jul 27, 07:29
well said! {nm} Jul 28, 11:49

Aren't several Starbonds supposed to adjust today? JTURT for example? {nm} Jul 25, 14:17
Starbond adjust day is on Tuesday, come back tomorrow ;) {nm} Jul 25, 14:23
Ah-ha! Thank you. {nm} Jul 25, 14:38
I'm assuming that guy's name is Juan Turtle? What's he been in? {nm} Jul 25, 14:39
How can I figure out what I'm going to pay for a transaction? Jul 25, 09:37
You will get 70,000 x current price x .99 If current price is 52.3, then you should get about 3.624 M H$ {nm} Jul 25, 09:43
commission is 1% of the value {nm} Jul 25, 10:40
oh wow. that's not complicated at all. ha! Thank you! {nm} Jul 25, 14:05

I am terrible at figuring odds on that. {nm} Jul 25, 09:36

How Often Do You Check Your Port? How Often Do You Make Trades Daily? Jul 21, 03:47
Everyday throughout the day {nm} Jul 21, 04:21
may I inquire what your prefered news source is for up-to-the-minute film talk? {nm} Jul 21, 05:59
several times throughout each day...and my preferred news source is the Movies board...one-stop shopping :) {nm} Jul 21, 08:32
you mean the forum? all I ever see is speculation and jibberish. eh. {nm} Jul 21, 09:38
i dunno... once a week... {nm} Jul 21, 09:38
I check it several times an hour. Not that I am OCD, but bored at work (I am my own boss) Jul 21, 10:56
epic! I wish I could. My boss would chop off my ears if she caught me even THINKING about FireFox durning the work day. {nm} Jul 21, 12:46

Try this again... Qestion for this weekend. Jul 20, 08:39
are you watching for news and buying on those posts? you could have made a very small fortune yesterday {nm} Jul 20, 08:46
did you buy when it IPO'd ? {nm} Jul 20, 09:00
NO i shorted Dark Towere 2 days ago when it was at 97 when news came about Universal pulling out of it {nm} Jul 20, 10:24
hahahaha. win. may I inquire what your prefered news source is for up-to-the-minute film talk? {nm} Jul 21, 03:43
yesterday a port like yours should have been playing DARKN, BROSE, SLOWM & COYKP. those are low Jul 20, 09:06
thanks {nm} Jul 20, 10:26
I tend to work on percentages rather than money.... Jul 20, 09:21
This is true. I like percentages. I did short pooh's OW. Jul 20, 10:29
99% on 40k is half of 20% on 400000 though...and with options, you run the risk of losing 100%. {nm} Jul 20, 11:01
And 99% on 40k plus 20% on 360000 is even more! Jul 20, 12:30
Understood - makes sense. Thanks! {nm} Jul 20, 13:40
The downside when you play short term and dump everything for faster bucks is Jul 20, 21:23
agreed. I feel like a boob constantly because of this. {nm} Jul 21, 12:47
