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

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

When does the market calendar usually add the next week? {nm} stevie1der328 Jun 07, 12:42

usually around now around now, but it varies {nm} tealfan Jun 07, 12:53

oops {nm} tealfan Jun 07, 12:53

I didn't even realize we could look at the next week... Wow... {nm} PRodQuanta Jun 07, 13:30

Where do I find when movies halt? Do they halt at different times? {nm} Juiced Jun 07, 11:14

that info and more are on the calendar...Menu Bar -> News & Events -> Market Calendar {nm} tealfan Jun 07, 11:47

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

Fund Week Summer 2011: How Funds Work - The HSX Dude RazorHawk Jun 06, 11:49

Sorry if it was asked and I missed it: Is Kevin Bacon next adjust a double adjust? {nm} PVL Admin Jun 04, 12:18

No. Jun 21 SUPER, Jun 28 XMEN4 {nm} nicheno Jun 04, 12:26

Thanks! I should have probably posted in the {nm} PVL Admin Jun 04, 12:37

Stars Forum... {nm} PVL Admin Jun 04, 12:37

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

production = they are filming; wrap = they are done filming {nm} RazorHawk Jun 02, 11:36

I cracked the 15,000!!! blackredstar Jun 02, 02:08

Congrats! I still remember when I crack that, and then the 10,000. Very momentous occasion! Hope you brought champagne. ;-) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 02, 03:40

congrats!...keep going! {nm} tealfan Jun 02, 08:47

Congrats!! Keep going! :D {nm} Panachevitz Jun 03, 19:29

[BONDS] Delist? Lixxiq Jun 02, 00:23

Sometimes it takes a day or so for it to delist. It should delist today. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 02, 00:27

Oh, and if you're just asking a question about a stock, best just to use the ticker symbol without the brackets. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 02, 00:28

okay! thanks! {nm} Lixxiq Jun 02, 00:31

No worries. :-) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 02, 03:31

should I SELL my shares or just let it delist? I've never been clear on this point... {nm} EggNogAdam Jun 02, 03:47

Just let it delist. Currently there is no commission charged when a stock delsits. {nm} eyescovered Jun 02, 04:33

When a theme fund hits the target, HSX waits until the next day to make sure that it did not fall back below. However, the good news is that StarBondFund (Buy EURO) Jun 02, 04:47

When is this going to come back as a IPO?? {nm} eat9474 Jun 02, 15:37

awesome. Thanks! I've always sold at like... $99.50 or higher. hahahaha. {nm} EggNogAdam Jun 02, 09:56

And "Thank You" to mrbinns for the extra million dollars! :) {nm} DTravel Jun 02, 19:49

Ah, my 'bonds' have finally matured. Thank you Mr. bins for taking good care of my investment! {nm} PVL Admin Jun 02, 21:45

Congratulations to the Port Value League winners for each of their port sizes! (results inside) PVL Admin Jun 01, 12:28

The "join" is a link to the league. It was blue in the draft but posted black. Click if you would like to join a particular PVL. {nm} PVL Admin Jun 01, 12:29

What's with the class warfare against multibillionaires? Are the socialists and communists in charge? DTXbro Jun 02, 08:09

Seriously. Just because I have a port worth over H$3 billion doesn't mean I don't have feelings {nm} JohnTEQP Jun 02, 21:40

With $3 billion, you can afford the therapy to get over it. :-P DTravel Jun 03, 23:35

DTXbro, you have great comedic timing! {nm} Facto Jun 04, 21:52

The 5th Quarter, why is it priced incorrectly? 121Jigowatts Jun 01, 10:51

The current price is based on trading, which is closely tied to performance but not defined by it. {nm} Austinmh Jun 01, 11:11

How can it be less than what it has already grossed? Isn't it guaranteed to delist higher than where it is now? {nm} 121Jigowatts Jun 01, 11:20

Only the gross on the Stock page is up to date every Monday delist day, price can be underpriced anytime up to delist of stock, be patient {nm} karspov Jun 01, 12:15

In short , as long it is below the grosses it made in theatres, u will get your full amount back in parallel with the grosses when it delist {nm} karspov Jun 01, 12:18

stock prices are set by market forces, not box office (unless its a wide release) {nm} lapuckfan Jun 01, 11:12

Difference between a Call option and an OW Warrant ????? nash151 Jun 01, 03:48

ps. nash151 Jun 01, 03:50

The difference is this... accountant_4_Jesus Jun 01, 05:09

You are correct. There is no difference. The existence of OW is pointless. It was only made 'cause people were whining... DomoI Jun 01, 16:29

oops, should've threaded under OP. {nm} DomoI Jun 01, 16:30

The performance of several timely, prominent and expensive securities today has been inexplicable. DTXbro May 31, 15:15

Guilty of trying to play the stocks that you talk about, but not always playing them well. I find it to be a guessing game much of the time. Paul2k May 31, 15:47

All these extremes, coupled with my staying away from the game all day, seems to make me lose the top spot in two leagues Facto May 31, 17:58
