((current value + expected gains) / current value) ^ ((1/number of days to realise gain) - 1). Commission costs are 1% {nm} Apr 05, 09:14
I'm sure there is a thread on this somewhere.... Apr 04, 06:35
Reason why i'm asking is cause i understand that with a Call or Put order you only get the cashout amount on those. {nm} Apr 04, 06:40
You can def tell the N00Bs in this game haha {nm} Apr 04, 06:42
Play nice - you were one also {nm} Apr 07, 05:53
what you receive for a shorted stock completely depends on where you shorted it Apr 04, 06:44
OK i got it. unlike a call or put order the cashout is $1 per 1 million total. Apr 04, 06:51
yes, if its further below its delist than commission, then you would make more $$$ {nm} Apr 04, 08:30
by covering before delist (damn enter key) {nm} Apr 04, 08:30
I am not sure if the question was really answered, so for all of the confused new players, not to mention winstonman78... Apr 04, 23:25
It does thank you very much :) {nm} Apr 05, 06:38
Here's the thread you need... Let us know if you have further questions that are not addressed here. Apr 03, 16:58
Just wondering: Jun 14, 10:46
Limit orders are usually placed after a starbond is halted and before it becomes active again {nm} Apr 03, 07:34
But limit orders can be used for movie stocks as well...and I play them to cash out at certain points... {nm} Apr 03, 16:08
Can someone explain how a "limit order" works and how to correctly post a limit order. Apr 01, 09:08
Limit orders only work if you are making a profit.. NOT to prevent losses... Apr 01, 10:01
I tried this too and found out the hard way. lol {nm} Apr 01, 10:10
Additionally...here's how you would set a limit order.... Apr 01, 10:10
Great explaination... Apr 01, 10:34
You're welcome. {nm} Apr 02, 08:23
Another example Apr 01, 16:41
Im confused about your first example jane_citizen Apr 02, 10:04
It wouldn't short it, you would have to later manually sell and then short the stock. Apr 02, 11:31
sorry! I meant you would set a limit order to short at $15, not to buy Apr 02, 18:03
If this works, I will have learned something. Keep posting, we'll query you if we're confused. Thx {nm} Apr 02, 18:31
yeah, probably test any of my limit order theories with single shares Apr 03, 14:54
Good suggestion. I'll do that. {nm} Apr 03, 22:34
Buying a PUT and when to sell or wait for cashout. Mar 31, 14:00
if you have 20000 $25 put shares that you bought at $1.56 each, and IHOP makes $24 o.w, you would lose Mar 31, 14:28
ok... Mar 31, 14:33
There is good money in the calls and puts ... Mar 31, 14:45
or i guess if it does jump up a lot sell it off and if it comes back down before the deadline and u could possibly make Mar 31, 14:50
yeah, sure ... lotta ifs there though :) {nm} Mar 31, 14:54
In that case if the Shares were worth 38,800 before trading halted, Mar 31, 14:37
yes, absolutely, if you were certain. {nm} Mar 31, 14:51
First YTD account breaks100 MIL! Congratulations OLEGMAX! 3 Months from 2 mil to 100 mil. Great trading. Mar 31, 13:37
3 months?! wow {nm} Mar 31, 13:55
That is sick. Way to go, man. {nm} Mar 31, 17:04
Olege Max is quite astute....buy EURO ! {nm} Apr 01, 10:11
thanks guys... i just noticed this post. Apr 01, 13:32
Feel free to take a break :D {nm} Apr 01, 17:07
How did you do it? {nm} Apr 02, 11:24
Question about stock price movement Mar 31, 12:55
I asked the same question here. Mar 31, 14:04
I just asked about this too not long ago! I'd love to see it! {nm} Mar 30, 20:01
I think part of the issue is the constant addition and removal of securities. {nm} Mar 30, 20:17
I don't understand those in the real world, let alone in HSX but I would love to understand Mar 31, 04:22
quick lesson.... Mar 31, 09:33
here is something to help you... Mar 31, 10:07
Thats an excellent idea {nm} Mar 31, 13:45
[HOP] over estimated at $25 mil Mar 28, 21:48
It certainly is speculation, but it's also statistics and reasonable speculations can be made. Hold long if you want... {nm} Mar 29, 21:10
My only thought is that each movie must stand on its own.... Mar 30, 08:34
Long run probably will be decent but what about $25call. Mar 31, 07:51
This of course would mean the shares would still be worth $38,800 when halted. LIke if it halted right now {nm} Mar 31, 07:52
If HOP makes $24 mil, you will lose money. Mar 31, 15:44
WoW i didn't think about that. Makes perfect sense though. {nm} Mar 31, 20:28
And HOP does have a chance to do $24 mill as it'll be opening on 3,700 screens - no speculation there. Mar 31, 15:49
Hope you reversed position in time {nm} Apr 03, 20:23
If you have the money to to hold it, then hold it. Mar 28, 21:05
Read this... http://www.hsx.com/forum/forum.php?id=2&pid=75575. It should help with your decisions. {nm} Mar 28, 22:33
2 points: project genome is gone and Numbers works again...ignore those comments from 6 months ago {nm} Mar 28, 22:38
I am long SPBO2 Apr 03, 20:29
Is it me, or does shorting Source Code OW seem like a no brainer? Mar 28, 10:23
Jake = Brokeback mountain. That's why people, on a subconcious level, avoid him. {nm} Mar 28, 13:37
So, everyone who watches movies is subconsciously homophobic? Mar 28, 22:43
Yeah... I don't think that's it at all... {nm} Mar 29, 21:12
I disagree as well... I've always just seen him as a low rent Tobey MaGuire... {nm} Mar 31, 08:28
Is the Adjust Fund coming back anytime soon? {nm} Mar 27, 00:22
NEW Port Value League Level: 1 to 1.5 BILLION Mar 26, 19:05
Havent Played in a long time QUESTION Mar 26, 14:31
Nope, long gone. {nm} Mar 26, 14:33
wow that serious sucks Mar 26, 14:35
Hey! I remember you! Welcome back...long time is right! Mar 26, 16:16
Losing money on short stock. Just can't get a break Mar 25, 05:10
I hear you... Mar 25, 09:42
Are you playing with an eye on short term or long term performance fo stocks? (stupid long post part 1) Mar 25, 12:27
As for long term performance... (stupid long post part 2) Mar 25, 12:57
I think we both feel like... Mar 25, 17:43
totally agree 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} Mar 26, 02:42
Bonds are ok but ive been stung too many times Mar 26, 03:22
Having problems as you are, bonds are the first thing you should be into, to turn things around. Mar 26, 04:47
HSX Dude is good but not the end all of strategy.... Mar 26, 13:46
I would consider any StarBond adjusting for a MovieStock in release that's already reported box office short-term. {nm} Mar 27, 11:08
5:1 here...I've all but given up on the stocks save for the (relatively) sure things. {nm} Mar 26, 06:59
Ought to know, but what happens to price on delist of starbond to bucket list? {nm} Mar 24, 04:48
If a StarBond is delisted, it cashes out at his/her current TAG. {nm} Mar 24, 05:58
TriVia question.... What Movie Fund has the highest current value? (Hint: Not in the top 25 most widely held) Mar 23, 10:56
If I could buy it twice, I would. {nm} Mar 23, 13:30
That's shares held on the fund pages, not accounts holders. {nm} Mar 24, 11:26
Usually short the openers today. Not going to. Think the low bo will pick up this week {nm} Mar 20, 12:11
How long does it take for a dead movie stock to adjust to zero and delist? 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} Mar 18, 08:40
I think it's decided on a case-by-case basis. Mar 18, 09:17
From 9/8/10: Adam McKay Says ANCHORMAN 2 May Not Be Dead Mar 22, 14:32
OMG I wish they would make this movie. I LOVED the first one {nm} Apr 04, 19:05
