Is it me, or does shorting Source Code OW seem like a no brainer? The-EFNP Mar 28, 10:23

Jake = Brokeback mountain. That's why people, on a subconcious level, avoid him. {nm} Biozama Mar 28, 13:37

So, everyone who watches movies is subconsciously homophobic? jane_citizen Mar 28, 22:43

Yeah... I don't think that's it at all... {nm} The-EFNP Mar 29, 21:12

I disagree as well... I've always just seen him as a low rent Tobey MaGuire... {nm} Carcharodon Mar 31, 08:28

Is the Adjust Fund coming back anytime soon? {nm} RedDex's Movie Blog Mar 27, 00:22

NEW Port Value League Level: 1 to 1.5 BILLION PVL Admin Mar 26, 19:05

Havent Played in a long time QUESTION Capstern Mar 26, 14:31

Nope, long gone. {nm} PVL Admin Mar 26, 14:33

wow that serious sucks Capstern Mar 26, 14:35

Hey! I remember you! Welcome back...long time is right! Flash Mar 26, 16:16

Losing money on short stock. Just can't get a break swordfish1 Mar 25, 05:10

I hear you... Flash Mar 25, 09:42

Are you playing with an eye on short term or long term performance fo stocks? (stupid long post part 1) Paul2k Mar 25, 12:27

As for long term performance... (stupid long post part 2) Paul2k Mar 25, 12:57

I think we both feel like... Flash Mar 25, 17:43

Before the recent changes, I played that way...holding long or short and waiting. Mostly holding long. And it didn't really work for me. Paul2k Mar 25, 18:17

totally agree swordfish1 Mar 26, 00:54

I've boosted my Bonds holdings, and it's helped a lot... my port is 4:1 bonds to moviestocks {nm} Chefbobcat Mar 26, 02:42

Bonds are ok but ive been stung too many times swordfish1 Mar 26, 03:22

Having problems as you are, bonds are the first thing you should be into, to turn things around. edzep Mar 26, 04:47

HSX Dude is good but not the end all of strategy.... Buy StarBondFund (EURO too) Mar 26, 13:46

I would consider any StarBond adjusting for a MovieStock in release that's already reported box office short-term. {nm} Antibody Mar 27, 11:08

5:1 here...I've all but given up on the stocks save for the (relatively) sure things. {nm} Ramdadof3 Mar 26, 06:59

Ought to know, but what happens to price on delist of starbond to bucket list? {nm} ladybegood Mar 24, 04:48

If a StarBond is delisted, it cashes out at his/her current TAG. {nm} eyescovered Mar 24, 05:58

TriVia question.... What Movie Fund has the highest current value? (Hint: Not in the top 25 most widely held) Buy StarBondFund (EURO too) Mar 23, 10:56

If I could buy it twice, I would. {nm} Port Value League Admin Mar 23, 13:30

actually, if you look at the individual fund pages, EURO has more holders than #23, 24, & 25, so I don't think the Top 25 is updated often LatinoFund Mar 23, 14:19

That's shares held on the fund pages, not accounts holders. {nm} Antibody Mar 24, 11:26

Usually short the openers today. Not going to. Think the low bo will pick up this week {nm} laujer Mar 20, 12:11

How long does it take for a dead movie stock to adjust to zero and delist? David_Francis Mar 18, 08:14

HSX has to delist them, which they do not announce in advance, but they typically do this twice a year. {nm} ndmaster Mar 18, 08:40

I think it's decided on a case-by-case basis. JohnTEQP Mar 18, 09:17

From 9/8/10: Adam McKay Says ANCHORMAN 2 May Not Be Dead Antibody Mar 22, 14:32

OMG I wish they would make this movie. I LOVED the first one {nm} winstonman78 Apr 04, 19:05

ummmm...how can i buy GLEE??? im sure its a gold mine {nm} sylvia016 Mar 18, 06:10

TVStocks are only for new shows, not ones returning for another season. {nm} eyescovered Mar 18, 06:18

so i cant buy it!!! :(:(:(:(:( {nm} sylvia016 Mar 18, 06:25

Nope! There's no point in having stocks for shows returning for another season since (for the most part) we already know exactly... eyescovered Mar 18, 06:36

Dx i wanted Glee too! Dx {nm} AkixBunny Mar 21, 10:08

I just lost 9.5 million in 12 minutes. What just happened? I am very confused OdysseusG Mar 17, 22:16

get used to it cos this game has got crap {nm} swordfish1 Mar 19, 12:57

Maybe you had bought some stocks during the December glitch? Steved1998 Mar 20, 08:31

who said this market is dead??? loslobos Mar 22, 06:18

BATM3 is at almost H$300 a share, isnt the most it can cash out at H$250 a share? or maybe i'm missing something about adjusts {nm} David_Francis Mar 17, 09:42

No, MovieStocks cash out at its full 4-week box office gross. The contribution to TAG is capped at $250M. {nm} Antibody Mar 17, 10:22

It will cash out at whatever price is equivalent to it's box office at the time. The H$250 limit is only used when calculating TAG for bonds {nm} Paul2k Mar 17, 10:23

dammit. slow again. {nm} Paul2k Mar 17, 10:23

Oops should have known that..thanks guys. {nm} David_Francis Mar 17, 11:33

same old,same old swordfish1 Mar 16, 05:15

are you short any stocks? are you playing bonds? ndmaster Mar 16, 09:02

What was your old strategy, what's your new strategy? {nm} JohnTEQP Mar 16, 21:47

i have upped my shorts massively and it is working out great. ndmaster Mar 17, 17:06

interesting groupon for a film opening wide this weekend mcshame Mar 15, 21:09

oops, meant to post this on the movies board. {nm} mcshame Mar 15, 22:44

Why is the OW for this weekend only at 20000 shares max? {nm} MasterofPinball1983 Mar 14, 17:49

It's a persistent error that _usually_ gets fixed. {nm} edzep Mar 14, 20:35

By the time it gets fixed, i would have lost out on all that potential profit. This happens one to many times {nm} MasterofPinball1983 Mar 14, 20:50

Repeat after me... "it's only play money...it's only play money... Flash Mar 15, 08:10

this coming from a person who has over a billion in his portfolio. {nm} MasterofPinball1983 Mar 15, 10:47

We all started with $2M... the reason I say this Flash Mar 15, 14:28

These errors shouldnt occur continuously, and then the only reply is that its due to limited staff. Something that {nm} MasterofPinball1983 Mar 15, 14:43

happens unexpectedly and only once is understood, but for it to happen on more than one occassion MasterofPinball1983 Mar 15, 14:50

Two sides to every story... we really don't know what's happening behind the scenes... Flash Mar 16, 08:44

Lost opportunities isnt the point. The point is a continuous error involving OW not being set to 100000 shares that was implemented by MasterofPinball1983 Mar 16, 18:16

Well, in the past 13+ years I've been here... Flash Mar 16, 18:42

I do enjoy the game. Its good to past the time when there is nothing else to do. MasterofPinball1983 Mar 16, 19:03

One too many? DomoI Mar 15, 14:03

I wish they would fix it so it doesnt happen again. {nm} MasterofPinball1983 Mar 15, 14:52

The Remake Fund is now under new management. {nm} Antibody Mar 14, 16:05

Good luck helmetz! I applied for this fund, too. Have fun with it! {nm} eyescovered Mar 14, 17:37

Thanks, eyescovered. Let's see if we can turn this baby around! {nm} helmetz Mar 15, 17:31

[DJAVU] {nm} Buy StarBondFund (EURO too) Mar 14, 19:14

What's considered a solid DROI? just getting back into HSX and i'm big on star bond adjustments {nm} funnybillypro Mar 13, 21:49

for a port you size, at least 3% {nm} ndmaster Mar 14, 06:54

i should have been more specific. i meant a good DROI for a stock. or is it the same answer? {nm} funnybillypro Mar 14, 17:16

In older days a 1% increase per day was considered realistic... so if you can do that, you're doing well.... Flash Mar 14, 08:34

and i still don't understand how to calculate it for some reason. i keep finding different explanations funnybillypro Mar 14, 17:43

EZ DROI = (Estimated Adjust Value / Current Value) / # of days until adjust Chefbobcat Mar 14, 20:13

wait, so is the ^ the exponential or is it division? {nm} funnybillypro Mar 14, 20:24

exponential {nm} Chefbobcat Mar 14, 20:49

why the minus 1? so the number i get....what's good what's bad? {nm} funnybillypro Mar 14, 21:35

The exponential formula is used for calculating ROI on compounding investments - nothing here is a compounding interest investment {nm} DTravel Mar 14, 22:01

so what should i use to calculate DROI on bonds? and what's a 'good' DROI? {nm} funnybillypro Mar 14, 23:29

I use ((current price - expected price)/current price) / # days {nm} DTravel Mar 15, 12:22

a "good" DROI is anything you can afford chosen greedily from highest to lowest DROI's. {nm} DomoI Mar 15, 14:07

How many active acounts do you think there really are on HSX David_Francis Mar 13, 20:09

you should join one of the Port Value Leagues ... jane_citizen Mar 13, 20:25

Also, in sometime the inactivity penalties will kick in and the leaderboards will be cleansed {nm} krapnek Mar 14, 04:18

thanks for the suggestion, i joined that PVL, and i'm looking forward to those penalties kicking in! this is one addictive game! {nm} David_Francis Mar 14, 11:41

Heads up people - looks like Daylight Savings Time has kicked in in the US. Adjust your local reset time accordingly. {nm} osmosis2003 Mar 13, 15:41

I believe it has "kicked in" in several countries ;) Thanks for the reminder, I always forget. {nm} Port Value League Admin Mar 13, 16:07

Movie stocks not being locked over opening weekend anymore? nm blackredstar Mar 12, 16:50

halt is not saturday night. the calendar is your friend. {nm} ndmaster Mar 12, 18:10

Did you mean "halt is now saturday night"? {nm} DTravel Mar 12, 23:20

yes, sorry. {nm} ndmaster Mar 13, 06:03
