Harry Potter Adjustment TheEndIsNir Jul 15, 22:38

right now, its priced for a 144 mil opening weekend. so, if it does 150-160, its currently underpriced. {nm} ndmaster Jul 15, 23:02

Starbonds, my port is lacking. Are they really that good of an investment?..more inside jms2 Jul 15, 20:49

learn how they work. read the boards for attachments and news. ndmaster Jul 15, 21:44

HPOT8 bonds would be good if you have tons of cash available. i think lobogotti posted some good info on them elsewhere ndmaster Jul 15, 22:04

Milestone: 500 Million. I've been playing for a while, but only got really serious around the Avatar/Blind Side release period. {nm} LanceStorm22 Jul 15, 10:32

well done!...one of the big milestones {nm} tealfan Jul 15, 12:13

Congrats! Great feeling, isn't it? {nm} OriginalFund Jul 15, 14:25

playing the players is a big part of this game. sometimes, you just have to go along with it, or forgo profits. no need to get mad at it. ndmaster Jul 15, 21:46

Agreed - the stock market is based on supply/demand based on what people think - a lot less to do with actuality {nm} freeflyjobo Jul 20, 11:15

Can anyone give me any kind of insight on something... Dorfman Jul 14, 09:20

The amount of shares held long and held short are only indicators of PAST action, not necessarily predictors of future action. What you Paul2k Jul 14, 09:26

Thanks. Yeah I've done something like that in the past. I just havn't caught the share movement. I've never tried the multiple tabs though Dorfman Jul 14, 09:53

You want to buy the Put, and short the Call. But, keep an eye on them; they may get traded out of your zone of confidence. edzep Jul 13, 13:28

Shorting a put or a call has limited upside (it can only max out by delisting at 0) but unlimited downside (if you're wrong and it delists Paul2k Jul 12, 14:00

this makes my brain hurt {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 13, 09:46

It is a way to make 2 bets at the same time..... mrbinns Jul 12, 14:06

I agree, most of the time, I will play the double bet and long the call and short the put or vice versa. However, sometimes, I honestly do Paul2k Jul 12, 14:41

Great insight on two great players.. THanks {nm} Dorfman Jul 12, 20:52

In my experience, the higher the strike price, the more worthwhile the double long strategy Jane_Citizen Jul 13, 04:54

possible arbitrage ? jsfleet Jul 12, 09:05

HSX guideline is that we never discuss "possible" ARB. It either is, or it is not. edzep Jul 12, 10:07
