Need a little help! StuartJHooper Jan 03, 13:48

Basically, here's how it works: Flash Jan 03, 16:29

Might I add that if a movie does not do well and you have shorted it then you don't lose money you make money. Rigit Jan 05, 12:14

Also...here's some tips on how to build your port.... Flash Jan 03, 16:31

Bonds are much less volatile... Ramdadof3 Jan 04, 12:14

I thought you had to _be_ crazy to understand reset trading and OW's DTravel Jan 04, 15:50

I did mention bonds in my post... Flash Jan 04, 17:34

With due respect, my problem with that advice is DTravel Jan 04, 23:02

The game has changed in the 12 years I've played... Flash Jan 05, 07:54

Didn't mean to contradict, just add my 2 cents. Bonds are how I make $HSX {nm} Ramdadof3 Jan 05, 11:24

Same here - out of my $22M worth just short of $16M is in Starbonds. DTravel Jan 05, 13:52

Thanks, last question... StuartJHooper Jan 03, 17:47

Either one, your choice. DTravel Jan 03, 18:09

Awesome! StuartJHooper Jan 03, 18:43

Small ports need to think short term. {nm} Port Value League Admin Jan 03, 22:19

Don't forget the commission! petz Jan 05, 04:43

HW Tangled vwgti1869 Jan 02, 21:43

A lot of HW/BW 's tend to go ARB and stay ARB for a long time because most people who want to own it already do. There is vey little buy or BUY StarBondFund J E T S 11-5 Jan 03, 08:04

Can the Disney Fund invest in Holiday Warrants of Disney Films? {nm} Lucas73 Jan 02, 19:21

When I ran a studio fund (MGM) I WISHED I had HW's. I think it is fair to invest in all warrants for the Studio's movies. BUY StarBondFund J E T S 11-5 Jan 03, 08:06

Nominoptions krapnek Jan 02, 16:11

I think only best picture cashes out at 10, the rest at 12 {nm} MasterofPinball1983 Jan 02, 16:26

Oh, I thought it was the other way around {nm} krapnek Jan 02, 16:49

the price is listed on the main nominoptions back and on each individual stock page {nm} JDolphin Jan 02, 22:12

back = page (I don't know what my fingers were thinking) {nm} JDolphin Jan 02, 22:13

Each category was set up to net at zero. So 12 possibles @ H$5 IPO is 60. Divide by 5 = 12; BP...20 Possible@5=100; 100/10=10.. BUY StarBondFund J E T S 11-5 Jan 03, 08:08

Isnt there a free trading time going on now? spudboy2 Jan 01, 12:35

No. That's old information. Many changes since Ampersand has been updated, though it's still ok for historical and general info. {nm} edzep Jan 01, 13:30

Ok thanks, wish it was still that way. Wonder why they changed it. {nm} spudboy2 Jan 01, 13:44

Commission free weekends started Flash Jan 02, 10:28

It was partially about bandwidth JohnTEQP Jan 02, 17:21

Inactivity fee is it a one time charge? chicagoslim1 Dec 31, 07:33

I'm guessing.... Flash Dec 31, 07:54

When does this take effect? MrZero Jan 01, 14:13

"we anticipate making the following changes during Q1 of 2011" DTravel Jan 01, 19:15

Unless cooler heads prevail? {nm} BUY StarBondFund J E T S 11-5 Jan 03, 08:10

Finally got what I wanted for Xmas - H$3 billion port! {nm} JohnTEQP Dec 29, 18:47

Congratualtions {nm} StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 10-5 Dec 29, 19:21

congrat$$$! {nm} tealfan Dec 29, 21:13

Excellent! {nm} edzep Dec 30, 04:48

Congrats! {nm} Panachevitz Jan 01, 11:18

If I short [HWYOGI] will it pay out the difference on feb 22 just like holding it long would? Confused about shorting derivatives. Thanks {nm} hostwizthemost Dec 28, 17:18

if it cashes out higher than where you shorted it, you will lose money. if it cashes out below where you shorted it, you will make money {nm} ndmaster Dec 29, 06:26

If I short [HWYOGI] will it pay out the difference on feb 22 just like holding it long would? Confused about shorting derivatives. Thanks {nm} hostwizthemost Dec 28, 17:18

I am not looking at the current price...but if you shorted HWYOGI at say, h$4.50 and it delists at zero, you get back StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 10-5 Dec 28, 17:57

,,,,and yes, all HW's will delist on that date, whether held long or short. Whether you are charged commission at that time is the big ??? {nm} StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 10-5 Dec 28, 17:59

Is there a tutorial here or anywhere? Cash_Money Dec 26, 16:04

also when do bonds pay dividends? {nm} Cash_Money Dec 26, 16:34

Bonds do not pay dividends. Prices of all securities rise and fall due to market pressures. Buys and covers tend to push prices up.,,, StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 10-4 Dec 26, 16:56

Explain to me why the price of this derivative went over H$10 ? Makes little since if it only can cash out at 10.... {nm} CactusLand Dec 28, 06:25

Why is a crooked letter, and it will never be straightened out. There have been over max derivatives from time to time. StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 10-5 Dec 28, 10:30

In the interim, whatever derivative you were referring to apparently dropped below 10...However, there is a way to go and that is the limit StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 10-5 Dec 28, 10:41

I found this link very helpfull, when I started 2 months ago krapnek Dec 26, 16:57

Have you noticed the links under "HELP" at bottom left of main HSX page? (nm) Patient Player Dec 26, 18:17

Make that ".. under "Help" at ..." -- It's bold, but not shouting. (nm) Patient Player Dec 26, 18:20

Especially, click on "Help Topics", which leads to forty links to explanations. (nm) Patient Player Dec 26, 18:26

Good questions JohnTEQP Dec 26, 19:06

Will Little Fockers $45 weekend call pay? [MPRN3.CA]?? {nm} hostwizthemost Dec 26, 11:11

It will cash out tomorrow at zero {nm} lapuckfan Dec 26, 14:42

Will Little Fockers $45 weekend call pay? {nm} hostwizthemost Dec 26, 11:10

Have read FAQ, Glossary and Help and no answer. How long does a starbond have to be inactive before its delisted? {nm} Lucas73 Dec 23, 04:55

3 years. islander Dec 23, 05:13

They are eligible for delist, but delist is not guaranteed. Exactly when a delist occurs is known only by the "HSX god". Rigit Dec 23, 14:43

Antibody is not God. God is infallible. WSYKE proves it. {nm} StarBondFund Dec 23, 17:23

A little confused ernbc Dec 22, 07:49

Yea, the Opening Weekend Warrants were sort of quietly announced... eyescovered Dec 22, 08:00

THIS was in response to players decrying the loss of a "Gut check" on Fridays. Now with the OW's you get to decide an up/down long/short StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 10-4 Dec 22, 13:06

I guess they were made ad hoc to lessen people's complaints about lack of gutchecks, but if you think about it DomoI Dec 22, 13:07

Opening weekend derivatives are basically HSX version of "throwing the dog a bone". Respectfully speaking of course. ; ) Rigit Dec 23, 15:00

A quick question about nominoptions jeankie Dec 22, 07:35

2% commission only applies if it's under $2.00 eyescovered Dec 22, 08:05

Can your portfolio be frozen? I cant sell a moviestock and my money isn't changing... it's weird. {nm} Lucas73 Dec 22, 05:03

Trades aren't working for anyone. It's happened before, should be fixed soon (hopefully before halt time!!) {nm} eyescovered Dec 22, 06:18

The last time this happened, all of the trades went through {nm} StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 9-4 Dec 22, 06:27

Whats fun is that Starbonds will adjust tomorrow. There is usually an undervalued Bond waiting to be picked up {nm} laujer Dec 20, 12:07

or, seriously overpriced ones to be shorted! {nm} ndmaster Dec 20, 12:22

What is with the ridiculous swings today?!?!?! {nm} Ramdadof3 Dec 19, 12:43

Prices go up and down based on market forces, although HSX adjusted the openers today as well... {nm} Flash Dec 19, 13:36

3 IPO Longs TJNFL1 Dec 19, 07:10

...Not sure what you mean?? Are these your profits so far? just today? or the value of what you hold?? :-) {nm} Flash Dec 19, 09:10

I think it means that TJNFL1 bought at IPO and they are untouched. HOWEVER, TJ you did not SuperSize 2 months ago. My Numbers... StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 10-4 Dec 20, 09:29

yes, profits from IPO to date, long. TJNFL1 Dec 20, 22:00

whats the fastest way to determine what Nomni Bonds are not owned? {nm} laujer Dec 18, 08:07

I go to the Nominoptions pages and look for the ones that don't have the little + or - showing my ownership position. {nm} Damonhawk Dec 18, 08:27

Thanks - Just what I needed to know {nm} laujer Dec 19, 08:26
