Playing & Trading Strategy

I'm new here. How do derivatives work? [BRDSM.CA] HNIF May 16, 10:50

BRDSM.CA will delist later today... you can't sell it. The good news is it should cash out a bit higher than 24.5 Chefbobcat May 16, 11:30

So they do cash out automatically? That's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks! {nm} HNIF May 16, 12:08

Well, actually he's talking about BRDSM.CA and not BRDSM.OW. krapnek May 16, 13:06

My bad {nm} Chefbobcat May 16, 13:58

Most wide releases get 3 derivatives.... MOVIE.CA, MOVIE.PU and MOVIE.OW StarBondFund (Buy EURO 6) May 16, 16:38

Just acquired positions on HNOV2, PAND2, and XMEN4... ouch! Chefbobcat May 15, 23:43

I hope you know what you are doing...PAND2 is an easy investment IMHO, but the other 2 are surgical at this point. {nm} PVL Admin May 15, 23:47

I don't consider these films to be much of a gamble, since I can flip them (if needed) after some good numbers come in. Chefbobcat May 16, 00:34

Bridesmaids made how much? {nm} Checked Out May 15, 15:15

Leaving For Six Weeks.. What Happens To My Portfolio? MitchC May 12, 13:09

Couple days ago, I logged into my account for the 1st time since 2007! You have nothing to worry about (nm) skyllama May 12, 13:48

HSX stated that at some point they would (might?) impose 25% port penalty if port not used in a month, but that has not been imposed {nm} daveart May 12, 13:52

That tentative non-use penalty was 5%! {nm} edzep May 12, 17:53

that's good to know if I ever go away for 6 weeks {nm} daveart May 13, 09:32

Just leave your password, we'll take care of it for ya! :p {nm} PVL Admin May 12, 17:16

Heh, you sure you're not joining one of our other members, in an orange jumpsuit? {nm} edzep May 12, 17:55

Did Dorfman go to jail? {nm} NLitend1 May 12, 21:45

Actually, no. I just re-read (link). Rehab, in lieu of jail. No orange jumpsuit. edzep May 13, 05:36

Dorfman's a Delta now. He'll be going to jail on a semi-regular basis. Nothing will stick, though. Prison is for the Omegas/Marmalards.{nm} DTXbro May 13, 14:05

No. He's a Lohan {nm} Steved1998 May 14, 23:55

Thank you MitchC May 12, 20:28

I was actually being funny, thus the tongue hanging out. But I offer this advise: PVL Admin May 12, 22:15

make sure you buy Euro fund. I'll make sure you'll make H$ there. OlegMaxYTD May 13, 13:18

Thanks MitchC May 13, 20:45

Thanks MitchC May 14, 08:01

That's really tough; you have my sympathy. :( {nm} Jane_Citizen May 13, 00:36

Hope your mom beats it...good luck to you and your family {nm} alfpaul May 13, 13:22

You have my best for your mom's speedy recovery. I truly hope it all goes well. {nm} Steved1998 May 14, 23:57

Roughly 20 percent of current holdings of the Pirates of the Carribean 4 opening weekend puts are shorts. This seems to reflect lunacy from DTXbro May 12, 08:12

If you long the put, you short the call. If you long the call, you short the put. Perhaps 20 pct of the investors think that 90 is StarBondFund (Buy Euro 6) May 12, 08:48

Long the put, short the call -- that's dopey. The most you can make is two bucks. The potential loss is boundless. It's a fool's bet, DTXbro May 12, 09:08

Of course, you're right WRT risk. But, for immediate play, people may expect it to go down. It's a _tradeable_ security. But, they should edzep May 12, 12:50

No, you can make a lot more than 2 bucks. JohnTEQP May 12, 23:11

if I am confident in a movie vis-a-vis the call/put numbers, e,g, FFUR5 or JUMPB, I short put & long call daveart May 12, 09:40

I play every opener, and all derivatives, period... Chefbobcat May 12, 21:18

Sailing through the upper 200's LTD, most of the ships in this vicinity appear to be ghost ships, drifting aimlessly. Is it common practice DTXbro May 12, 07:59

The ratio of active to apparently inactive accounts is even worse lower down in the standings. {nm} DTravel May 12, 13:23

Well...I gotta admit...after all the years we've been playing, at SOME point we've done it all... Flash May 13, 07:44

I don't know if your numbers work. Numbers.com have it comparing to Bourne Ultimatum... Can anyone comment before this gets scribbled? {nm} PVL Admin May 10, 12:25

Comparisons at the-number.com are sort of like fuzzy math....I have looked at them for years, and I consider Bruce a friend, but I never StarBondFund (Buy Euro 6) May 11, 11:32

I woultdn't say Bourne Ultimatum is entirely dissimilar, but it would likely have skewed older than FFUR5 & hence have a better multiplier {nm} daveart May 10, 15:22

sorry, that was a bit garbled - I'm saying FFUR5's multiplier will be less than Bourne Ultimatum so its not the best comparison daveart May 10, 15:29

Well...who really knows WHERE it will end up till it's actually 'over' but I reversed on this one when it adjusted to $225...so Flash May 10, 16:10

Hey, Fawn. You wanna come over to Delta House? And can you bring dates for my three friends?{nm} DTXbro May 11, 19:58

Oh, and whatever you do, drop that fine arts class. And forget about making that pot for me.{nm} DTXbro May 11, 20:00

That's me outta here swordfish1 May 09, 02:28

..and so, we bid adieu'... wish you the best...drop by once in awhile when you can.... {nm} Flash May 09, 10:15

Damn, lost another one to Geiko. {nm} PVL Admin May 11, 22:32

I read the 'HSX Dude Speaks' article this weekend, and thought it was very much worth the read. It is thought provoking and well written. PVL Admin May 08, 23:38
