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

Thanks everyone! {nm} HNIF May 20, 19:16

welcome!...this board is a great resource and sometimes questions are already answered on the same page :) {nm} tealfan May 20, 15:27

Why do moviestocks wait until Sat 6pm to halt? Derivatives halt on ... Figgie123 May 18, 08:48

Movie stocks used to halt on opening day and then adjust on Sunday but it was recently changed. DTravel May 18, 13:47

How to sell short? WarrenBuffet May 17, 09:42

Cover it. {nm} eyescovered May 17, 09:54

The short sale is selling stock you do not own (borrow someone elses) at a high price in the hope of(covering) replacing the borrowed stock laujer May 18, 07:05

Actually, that is the real world concept, not HSX. When you short a stock, you pay for it at current price, plus commission... StarBondFund (Buy Euro 6) May 18, 08:55

I shorted SOLO a while ago but how do I get the money? larasodapop May 30, 08:00

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

what time is reset? {nm} laujer May 13, 23:57

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

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

Reply MitchC May 13, 03:08

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

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
