Shorting a moviestock, but likely to go straight to video iago Jun 16, 03:12

STV does cash out at zero, which means it is worth shorting. (I don't get your "losing money to both longs and shorts)) {nm} edzep Jun 16, 04:31

Ah - thanks for that: I assumed that when cashing out at zero the stock would simply de-list... iago Jun 16, 05:13

When a movie officially is released on video, the calendar will show the MovieStock delisting. Buy StarBondFund 17 ( EURO too) Jun 16, 05:32

Happy anniversary! {nm} PVL Admin Jun 14, 19:41

yay for sticking around! {nm} tealfan Jun 14, 20:02

Happy anniversary! Don't be ashamed, I was only worth about $7m after 1 year :-P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 14, 20:37

Not fun anymore .... I know .the waaaahhhmbulance is coming... unaturalx Jun 13, 12:06

Depends on the stock... XMEN4 did well on the ride up.. GLANT has been doing OK... Flash Jun 13, 14:51

I'm confused...if a stock is overpriced, shouldn't the price fall? Are you saying that a movie should keep going up and up? Paul2k Jun 13, 15:03

I'm confused too...it seems you've recognised a market trend but haven't changed your strategy to capitalise on it. {nm} osmosis2003 Jun 13, 16:58

This is not a new phenomenon.....and quite logical Mr. Spock. Buy StarBondFund 17 ( EURO too) Jun 14, 13:35

Bear in mind that HSX is predominantly a market... baronblacksheep Jun 21, 16:12

Been a while since I traded on here...Are Saturdays still "Commission Free"? {nm} BruceRoberts Jun 11, 09:44

No. {nm} DTravel Jun 11, 11:22

If "Super 8" is the number one movie right now, why is the price falling? {nm} seanseane Jun 10, 18:25

Because the price will move according to how traders see what price it will adjust to mathematically {nm} karspov Jun 10, 18:59

Because every other movie is even worse? :-P {nm} DTravel Jun 10, 22:28

MTC? RS? Dionisio Jun 10, 10:32

MTC = Major Theater Chain (kept anonymous on purpose)...RS = Reel Source... tealfan Jun 10, 13:13

Oops, I should have clicked before posting... {nm} PVL Admin Jun 10, 19:37

Look for my weekly "prediction site accuracy report" in the movies forum. MTC good, RS bad. {nm} PVL Admin Jun 10, 19:36

heh, glad to see that MCA dipshlit down so low. =D {nm} DomoI Jun 14, 06:55

My value is falling but I gain places in the overall rank? and for about the past year too!! {nm} pgatenby Jun 09, 15:05

It could be that some of those above you are not as active any longer, or some players may not have figured the in's and out's yet... Flash Jun 10, 12:02

remember going up is good and going down is bad :) {nm} b4bad Jun 14, 21:16

Fund Week Summer 2011: Studio Funds (pt 2) - The HSX Dude RazorHawk Jun 07, 16:36

Sick of the price changeing after trade is placed! {nm} Martin3103 Jun 07, 14:26

I buy a stock for say .10 a share but I get charged .12 then I sell at .14 and it only gives me .12 or .13 WTF {nm} Martin3103 Jun 07, 14:29

Correct, it's called "chuckage" and it pisses us all off. Be sure to e-mail the complaint dep't at HSX. {nm} PVL Admin Jun 07, 15:08

A bit of advice for you, Martin, is to steer clear of the penny stocks. Only trade in stocks that have day-of news, and upcoming openers. {nm} Paul2k Jun 07, 15:23

What happens is you get charged the price your transaction will change the price to. (More inside) DTravel Jun 07, 15:34

Sick of the price changein {nm} Martin3103 Jun 07, 14:24

I realize that after adjusts the prices are held for a period of time, but could anybody inform me how long that time is? {nm} PRodQuanta Jun 07, 13:31

Just until reset (midnight Pacific time) {nm} PVL Admin Jun 07, 13:39

Good to know. Thank ya, thank ya. {nm} PRodQuanta Jun 07, 13:45

Fund Week Summer 2011: Studio Funds (pt 1) - The HSX Dude RazorHawk Jun 07, 08:35

I lost over memorial day weekend because I played the Thor2 IPO too much. DISNXFund Jun 27, 08:57

DMac, can you please clarify this? Is it in accordance with HSX policy for funds to own shares in themselves? accountant_4_Jesus Jun 07, 00:31

as far as I know, funds are not allowed to invest in other funds, but they can invest in themselves... {nm} Oleg Max Jun 07, 08:11

Most fund managers carry just a radar share to more easily monitor the price of the fund. {nm} MojaveMeg Jun 07, 09:02

where does "post-production" fall under phase? Production or Wrap? {nm} lapuckfan Jun 02, 09:56
