Any tips? I have a bunch of cash and no inspiration. as329105 Jul 10, 20:24

9 mil isn't going to go far, inspired or not... Invest in whatever the hot stocks are right now. Star bonds? {nm} PVL Admin Jul 10, 21:21

Your best bet for smaller ports is to think "short term..." Flash Jul 11, 07:56

No movie has made 500m domestic in 4 weeks and no HPOT has even made 300 in 4 weeks. {nm} JDolphin Jul 11, 22:15

Wow, I see BionicMoron has some heavy competition below him, on the Loser Board! edzep Jul 09, 05:03

Remember, that not ALL ports are still 'actively' played... and some players have more than 1 port (like me).... {nm} Flash Jul 09, 08:57

Glad i diversified.... down almost 400k on 1 stock from last night but still up 10k due to small gains in other stuff {nm} Dorfman Jul 08, 11:44

Would love any of y'alls opinions on this Dorfman Jul 06, 20:59

It all comes down to one question (in my opinion) srrichardson Jul 06, 23:05

Small ports need to be super sensitive about DROI. Don't get attached to a stock. When it flips, get out, flip it, or buy other things. {nm} PVL Admin Jul 06, 23:59

If I had a port under say 100 mill, I would move that sucker on. Jane_Citizen Jul 07, 00:22

Thanks for the input! I wasn't sure since this was a blockbuster maybe an exception should be made. Appreciate all fo ya!! {nm} Dorfman Jul 07, 06:12

*of {nm} Dorfman Jul 07, 06:12

I'm up to 50 mil port and I dont keep a movie stock beyond its initial (bigger, predictable) movement... I'd definately drop it {nm} slappydavid Jul 07, 06:34

Can someone please explain? kooties Jul 06, 15:43

aaarrggghhhh, never mind. just looked at trade history and I short the put by accident... damn it!!!! {nm} kooties Jul 06, 15:44

I shorted the put and then forgot to reverse position - know exactly the feeling. {nm} JohnTEQP Jul 06, 19:50

Milestone: 400 MILLION....Now whats the highest priced stocks I should be holding onto? Any strategy tips? {nm} autobot66 Jul 06, 06:39

See 3 posts down. As far as largest stock? With 400 mil, you can go all in on any stock now. You just can't go all in on every stock. {nm} PVL Admin Jul 06, 07:01

Oh thanks, I just thought there might be a value limit i should avoid buying with only 400 mill {nm} autobot66 Jul 06, 08:12

Thanks, can anyone recommend how to get more up to date info quickly? {nm} autobot66 Jul 05, 10:46

Does anyone actually play stocks based upon the scrolling HSX news bar below? Please advise {nm} autobot66 Jul 05, 06:36

I'm sure some people do, but by the time it pops up there it tends to be 'older' news afaik {nm} jeankie Jul 05, 07:28

The "ticker" is mainly for 'show'... and does not always reflect "all" the shares bought / sold, and shorted / covered. {nm} Flash Jul 05, 09:55

Thanks, can anyone recommend how to get more up to date info quickly? {nm} autobot66 Jul 05, 10:45

Buy a single "radar" share of any stock you're interested in (if it's not already in your port). Each time you refresh edzep Jul 05, 12:27

Quick question about a movie adjust from a generally newbie {nm} Lakertime Jul 01, 10:38

Why has HPOT8 CALL not been IPO'd? It says Jun 28, 2011... {nm} EggNogAdam Jun 29, 03:49

Why does HSX insist on using inflated studio estimates... mxwizard1 Jun 27, 13:36

Because it allows trading to restart a day earlier rather than waiiting until Monday afternoon. {nm} Antibody Jun 27, 14:23

I like that answer. Even before I joined in over 10 years ago, those "inflated" numbers were the ones published in the papers, announced on Buy StarBondFund 17 ( EURO too) Jun 27, 19:33
