How Often Do You Check Your Port? How Often Do You Make Trades Daily? EggNogAdam Jul 21, 03:47

Everyday throughout the day {nm} Dorfman Jul 21, 04:21

may I inquire what your prefered news source is for up-to-the-minute film talk? {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 21, 05:59

several times throughout each day...and my preferred news source is the Movies board...one-stop shopping :) {nm} tealfan Jul 21, 08:32

you mean the forum? all I ever see is speculation and jibberish. eh. {nm} PBJdotCOM Jul 21, 09:38

stuff from Variety, THR, CS, DL, gets posted here pretty much as soon as it gets online...just have to dig through the other stuff :) {nm} tealfan Jul 21, 12:36

i dunno... once a week... {nm} PBJdotCOM 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) ndmaster 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} EggNogAdam Jul 21, 12:46

*during {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 21, 14:02

I've started to realize that I need to play daily and sell everything at night. Start over each day. I can't play on Weekends. {nm} KaylahCOV Jul 22, 09:09

More frequently than I'm prepared to admit. {nm} Jane_Citizen Jul 22, 21:44

Fund Cash Out Antibody Jul 20, 17:53

Sorry OlegMax, with 2 delists BONDS slipped into 25th....and has about 1M more shares held :) BUY EURO folks {nm} Buy BONDS 17 Now (EURO Too) Jul 21, 05:18

Try this again... Qestion for this weekend. Dorfman Jul 20, 08:39

are you watching for news and buying on those posts? you could have made a very small fortune yesterday {nm} lobogotti Jul 20, 08:46

I made 2m on dark tower.. Though I wish i had bought JETSONS! Dangit didn't expect a jump like that from news of a script. lol {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 08:50

did you buy when it IPO'd ? {nm} EggNogAdam 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} Dorfman Jul 20, 10:24

hahahaha. win. may I inquire what your prefered news source is for up-to-the-minute film talk? {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 21, 03:43

yesterday a port like yours should have been playing DARKN, BROSE, SLOWM & COYKP. those are low lobogotti Jul 20, 09:06

playing CAPAM.OW is a bit of a risk. at current price it would eat up all your funds for until Monday and there is a possibility you could lobogotti Jul 20, 09:20

yeah i just have it on radar just in case there is some kind of jump or fall in price. Its too "right at the money" i think right now {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 10:26

Always compare the RS vs MTC to get an early gain, unless u are really sure, calls and puts are usually long(small downright) {nm} karspov Jul 20, 08:51

I made a decent amount when they IPO'd and i bought them all long. BUt then of course I sold everything for HPOT. Cause well duh lol {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 08:52

OW are basically wildcards unless they are no brainer like OW potter,with your port size,u may invest in openers for fluidity ;) {nm} karspov Jul 20, 08:55

thanks {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 10:26

I tend to work on percentages rather than money.... srrichardson Jul 20, 09:21

This is true. I like percentages. I did short pooh's OW. Dorfman 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} freeflyjobo Jul 20, 11:01

And 99% on 40k plus 20% on 360000 is even more! srrichardson Jul 20, 12:30

Understood - makes sense. Thanks! {nm} freeflyjobo Jul 20, 13:40

Thanks everyone for your input and tips. Sometimes I just like to be sure if im charting a good course or not. I really appreciate it {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 10:29

The downside when you play short term and dump everything for faster bucks is Jane_Citizen Jul 20, 21:23

agreed. I feel like a boob constantly because of this. {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 21, 12:47

Question for this weekend. {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 08:14

what's the question? {nm} lobogotti Jul 20, 08:16

42 {nm} PrezBO Jul 20, 08:17

Haha! Is this from Hitchhikers? {nm} Juiced Jul 20, 08:23

SON OF A ******* it didn't post lol Dorfman Jul 20, 08:17

Expert opiniions will cost you. Smartass answers, as always, are no charge {nm} PrezBO Jul 20, 08:18

I have an expert opinion on this question but I don't want to share. {nm} BionicMoron Jul 20, 08:17

you'll get a cookie? {nm} KaylahCOV Jul 22, 09:09

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

Future IPO movieGeek Jul 17, 14:37

Got it, thanks! movieGeek Jul 17, 14:43

** This post has been removed by the forum moderator! ** AverageFather Jul 17, 13:07

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

** This post has been removed by the forum moderator! ** AverageFather Jul 17, 13:07

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
