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

Good article. Nice review. Thanks for taking the time to write it. {nm} PVL Admin May 31, 10:03

I appreciated the article. Panachevitz Jun 03, 20:36

Play Big or Go Home. I'll make it a True Daily Double Alex. {nm} StarBondFund (Buy Euro 6) May 30, 18:47

sounds like you joined the wrong league... {nm} ndmaster May 30, 22:25

Worst Gameplan Ever! {nm} Comic Book Guy May 30, 23:20

Well, the first time I registered was 6 or 7 years ago and when I found that account's PW (after I've been playing under this alias), krapnek May 31, 02:56

Why play the game at all if you just sit and watch your port and 'DO' nothing? Seems kinda pointless to me Flash May 31, 07:56

If you don't make any trades at least once a month, then the 5% inactivity fees will hit you hard when it comes into effect. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 01, 00:33

SPAM {nm} PVL Admin May 30, 01:02

Somebody needs to pull this weed. :) {nm} PVL Admin May 30, 01:04

I made a post ion the life board, does it belong here? {nm} damenchipguy May 28, 10:33

I don't have 100M but I have 70 so that's close enough... Austinmh May 28, 12:03

Thanks, I will start inside. damenchipguy May 28, 13:07

Hmm I will respond here on Tues or Wed when I have my computer. {nm} Austinmh May 29, 00:14

For Super8 play the players.. Ride it down.. cover it when you think it's low enough then rebuy when you think the bounce will come. {nm} Steved1998 May 29, 23:10

Which security gained over 50 pct in the past month with no risk? Not BONDS. E U R O but players are not buying. It outperforms BON {nm} StarBondFund (Buy EURO) May 27, 12:08

I only own 3 funds and that's one of them. It came out of the gates in full gallop and hasn't let up at all.. {nm} Austinmh May 27, 14:46

Just a note for smaller portfolios. At IPO, or early in the fund, an investment of 200K is a lot for a very small port. StarBondFund (Buy Euro 6) May 28, 06:26

oh! thank you mrbinns... thank you for the ad... I have to say, this is my 3rd or 4th Euro Fund run and prospects had never been brighter! EuroFund May 27, 16:58

Daytrading tip to help you make bank: Austinmh May 25, 16:23

I do something similar (at least I think it's similar) by using edzep's PortMonkey addon and having two Portfolio tabs open in my browser. Paul2k May 25, 17:08

Interesting idea, Paul, with the 2 tabs. I thought the arrows were great, but this may just make them better. edzep May 25, 21:10

The amount of H$ I make everyday is due in no small part to my use of PortMonkey. Also, I'm going to Disneyworld. And I'm drinking a Coke. {nm} Paul2k May 25, 23:25

are you on a boat? {nm} ndmaster May 26, 07:33

Look again. I'm on a horse. {nm} Paul2k May 26, 09:12

I will notify you all the day that I start using this.. (The port monkey) After that, I should be invincible, i.e. impossible to pass... Facto May 29, 17:47

Arrives at the same reseult but with 1 click instead of 10 to 20. Very nice! Austinmh May 26, 01:49

Interesting idea {nm} Nobody May 24, 10:27

Great idea, thanks for sharing! {nm} PVL Admin May 25, 22:15

No bots here ****es. I do all the work in my head. Blue collar here, you ho's. {nm} lhayes37 May 29, 07:26

Tommy Lee Jones - no brainer BUY, why isn't it going up? 121Jigowatts May 25, 15:24

A few reasons... Austinmh May 25, 16:04

Thanks for the info! Got another question for ya.... 121Jigowatts May 25, 16:32

Answers within Austinmh May 25, 17:11

also - maybe all those that play SB already dwn him - a bond only goes up as long as people keep buying it {nm} JDolphin May 25, 19:11

Shouldn't this question be on the StarBonds forum? {nm} JohnTEQP May 26, 11:35

I've been following Atlas Shrugged as a target for ARB money and noticed Box Office Mojo has no actuals from this past weekend or Monday. stevie1der328 May 25, 08:39

There could be a variety of reasons BOM doesn't have the numbers... Flash May 25, 09:36

Thanks! {nm} stevie1der328 May 25, 14:21

You're welcome. {nm} Flash May 26, 08:23

IPO Thoughts: Opening Adjust Fund: Episode IV [ADJUS] - The HSX Dude RazorHawk May 24, 08:29

Does someone have to STAR in a movie for it to be considered in his StarBond TAG? 121Jigowatts May 22, 10:30

As long as the star is attached the movie, that movie replaces the 5th movie down the list to form the bond's new TAG {nm} karspov May 22, 10:35

Also, a starbond can only be adjusted only once for a movie, be it just a acting role or multiple roles {nm} karspov May 22, 10:37

Why aren't my calculations adding up for the TAG? What am I doing wrong? 121Jigowatts May 22, 11:27

Be sure to use the total gross for each film, not the delist price. Also bear in mind that for TAG purposes, osmosis2003 May 22, 11:36

Thanks! I wish HSX would just list all the grosses right there on the StarBond page so I wouldn't have to manually add them up. {nm} 121Jigowatts May 22, 11:50

they are listed on each moviestock page, so you don't have to use BOM {nm} lapuckfan May 24, 06:43

The maximum gross for a film is 250,000,000 {nm} laujer May 22, 21:20

The last five could be affected by the following rules: {nm} StarBondFund (Buy EURO 6) May 22, 10:56

Take 2....inside StarBondFund (Buy EURO 6) May 22, 11:01

Yes, it is the definitive list determining their TAG. Doesn't matter if they were the "Star" or not. {nm} DTravel May 22, 11:20

Who is it that always trades 50k of, like 20 stocks in both directions exactly at 1 AM PST? IT's like clockwork...madness. {nm} Paul2k May 21, 01:05

Isn't the reset at midnight PST? Seems like someone with a post-reset strategy? 121Jigowatts May 22, 09:35

well, I do that but it's always 100k and it's only of about 6/7 stocks {nm} krapnek May 24, 03:49

I wonder about that too {nm} Nobody May 24, 10:28

Nice.. Today marks my 7th year here.. It has been a joyous journey thanks to you guys ;-) {nm} karspov May 21, 00:41

Nice. Hey, I've got a milestone of sorts, today, too. Around 9 years ago, when I realized I was in this for the long haul... edzep May 21, 05:04

U made it for rank 50, congrats , and I salute u for your contribution to the technology attributes for HSX ;) {nm} karspov May 21, 05:37

Thank you, sir. {nm} edzep May 21, 06:12

wow, you did great. i've been here almost twice your milestone, and my port is just barely larger than yours. great job! {nm} Oleg Max May 21, 06:02

I remember well, watching incredulously as karspov blew past me. {nm} edzep May 21, 06:11

Just hint at when you need an intervention to get you into rehab :) {nm} StarBondFund (Buy EURO 6) May 21, 08:54

Congrats, karspov! Onward to many more milestones! I'll be celebrating my 15th anniversary in 2 year's time... {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 02, 03:39

Help! How do I sell my short stock? HNIF May 20, 13:09

you "cover" it {nm} daveart May 20, 13:27

What will happen to my stock once I cover it? Again, I am new to all of this. {nm} HNIF May 20, 13:42

When you buy a stock, you are betting that it will go up. When you decide you don't want it anymore, you sell (click for more) PVL Admin May 20, 14:38
