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

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

Shorting Puts vs. Buying Calls steveg1 Jul 12, 13:34

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

Thats true. Hasn't been a lot of play on some of these {nm} Dorfman Jul 13, 09:13

Is there some sort of guide I need to be reading for call and put strategy? {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 13, 09:47

There ARE differences between shorting a put and buying/longing a call.... blinkuldhc Aug 01, 18:16

possible arbitrage ? jsfleet Jul 12, 03:04

Not really srrichardson Jul 12, 03:45

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

Harry Potter hasn't been released yet so it can't be ARB until it has actually made more box office than what the warrant is priced at. {nm} Antibody Jul 12, 14:27

Woohoo made top 15 MTD {nm} Dorfman Jul 11, 07:43

woohoo! {nm} tealfan Jul 11, 09:00

Oh nice man, I'm trying to make that STD top ten currently, great work!!!!! {nm} VictorY Jul 12, 07:13

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

How do you find out haw many players are on this game? Thanks. {nm} STONYRN Jul 08, 17:48

You fiddle with the LTD leaderboard... edzep Jul 08, 20:04

Did it for you...172,933 players on the leaderboard {nm} lapuckfan Jul 08, 23:43

Ah-so. {nm} edzep Jul 09, 04:58

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

2nd YTD to 200 mill.....only 2 months or so after OlegMax :) {nm} alfpaul Jul 07, 13:17

Very nice! Well done! slappydavid Jul 07, 15:50

great job! no more time off for you! you are my only competition for ytd... {nm} Oleg Max Jul 07, 18:24

What time is RESET these days? {nm} autobot66 Jul 07, 05:45

3am eastern time, Midnight Pacific {nm} Dorfman Jul 07, 06:54

Didn't the time change? {nm} autobot66 Jul 07, 06:56

maybe you're thinking of halt for openers?...saturday 6PM Pacific {nm} tealfan Jul 07, 08:54

I remember many moons ago RESET being at 1250-100 AM EST? {nm} autobot66 Jul 07, 14:13

It's 9 AM CET, if that helps you ;) {nm} petz Jul 07, 15:13

ahh...I see...well as you can see up there, it's no longer at 12 AM EST...so yes it did change :) {nm} tealfan Jul 07, 18:36

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
