Playing & Trading Strategy

up H$5,118,712.35 today Vlad1982 Jul 19, 20:53

So is a million bucks in 48 hours good? I really need to play those strabonds from the sound if it though. {nm} PrezBO Jul 19, 14:30

Thousands of accounts lie dormant having never made their first mill. You're doing alright : ) And starbonds are always a good idea! {nm} stevie1der328 Jul 19, 14:36

Sure...that's good... a good goal for small ports, is 1% growth a day... so use that as a good measurement. Flash Jul 19, 16:24

I was stucked around 6 mil. for a long time and then decided to do only StarBonds 4 months ago. nicheno Jul 20, 05:01

OK cause im still kinda new to this a question. Dorfman Jul 18, 19:04

Most of the time daytraders try to play the movement of the stock, so it fluctuates a bit... accountant_4_Jesus Jul 18, 20:08

k. I'm not really thinking long term. Dorfman Jul 18, 20:35

If you cover your short before reset then you might be eating away at your profits by having to short it again later... {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 18, 20:59

tru {nm} Dorfman Jul 18, 21:19

HPOT is a different animal than most movies - but look at lobogot's game - over 100 responses and the highest delist guess is 417 {nm} JDolphin Jul 18, 22:21

If you are kind of new I assume you have a small port. If you do, don't tie up 45M, just wait till it drops to the price you think it'll mak krapnek Jul 19, 03:38

i don't even have 45m to tie up lol {nm} Dorfman Jul 19, 12:50

you could sell it and invest in Dark Tower - now better return less investment but I'm not sure how much farther it's going to fall {nm} JDolphin Jul 19, 16:40

Oh i invested everything else almost in dark tower. was able to grab 60k shares and make about 2m in 2 days. That was a good one. sold today Dorfman Jul 20, 07:59

f7u12. good catch! I have only ever made like... 100K in a day. {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 21, 03:45

Stocks with this huge of a price, typically will drop for a few days... Flash Jul 19, 13:31

when is the best time to buy {nm} Vlad1982 Jul 18, 17:41

opps Vlad1982 Jul 18, 17:42

Unfortunately Vlad, there is no easy answer to those questions. (see inside for details) PRodQuanta Jul 19, 08:05

How Am I able to sort what's being traded by percentage change today? EggNogAdam Jul 18, 09:58

aww c'mon. nothing? {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 18, 14:09

buy one of every stock and sort in your port {nm} alfpaul Jul 18, 14:26

pfffhahahahahaha! awesome. HAHAHAHAHAHA {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 19, 03:55

I think it was within the Opening This Weekend secion - that table is sortable. {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 19, 09:44

section? {nm} KaylahCOV Jul 22, 09:10

When to leave a movie or star greatcakes01 Jul 17, 19:30

um...so why not leave at a 3 or 4% loss when you see its going in that direction? {nm} alfpaul Jul 17, 20:47

if you see a StarBond dipping, check the status of the Star's next film... DoctorMovies Jul 17, 21:11

The only thing wrong with that is that StarBonds have a "cap" of $250M per movie. Hence, anything more than $250M doesn't count for adjust. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 18, 04:00

shorting todays adjust.... Vlad1982 Jul 17, 14:59

Before reset {nm} Buy BONDS 17 Now (EURO Too) Jul 17, 15:01

After giving a short, direct answer....here is the long thought out one... Buy BONDS 17 Now (EURO Too) Jul 17, 21:29

I would think about selling today...its not a film going into production anytime soon. Maybe even a put call. {nm} Rich19 Jul 17, 13:55

put call? {nm} alfpaul Jul 17, 14:11

I think you mean to say "Short" {nm} Buy BONDS 17 Now (EURO Too) Jul 17, 21:53

not news......shouldn't be tagged {nm} alfpaul Jul 17, 13:28

And just fyi, +$8 is not soaring. {nm} djMinion Jul 17, 17:33

It hit 51 then dropped to 43 but because of all the potter money has risen again. I'm guessing down again by morning. {nm} kurtk Jul 17, 22:37

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

Yes they are {nm} Nobody May 24, 10:31

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

congrats {nm} Dorfman Jul 15, 10:52

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

Really is. Even with it being summer, I think I may be just as proud or prouder of 100 Million over the last 90 days. {nm} LanceStorm22 Jul 15, 15:25

What the hell is with people selling their stock immediately after reset?! HNIF Jul 15, 00:20

its called trading alfpaul Jul 15, 01:00

This is why I never daytrade {nm} OriginalFund Jul 15, 14:26

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

RED number all over my board... ConFractus Jul 14, 11:17

yeah lotta red today {nm} Dorfman Jul 14, 12:10

Not red here... Almost $2M green! {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 14, 21:26

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

To Call or Put? EGO postulo ars EggNogAdam Jul 13, 09:42

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
