I joined Oct 29th and as of now I'm at 4.9m. Thanks to the Tourist failing to reach expectations and a John Hurt adjust. {nm} Lucas73 Dec 19, 04:50

great article! baronblacksheep Dec 17, 08:00

why are ipos share offers so high? almost none get totally bought before midnight, why not make that number a bit smaller? none of todays {nm} latafilms Dec 16, 20:34

made it {nm} latafilms Dec 16, 20:34

Not so fast! It's 9:45 PM Pacific, and one of them is sold out and moving. edzep Dec 16, 21:47

well you said it.. out of todays 60 ipos? 9.45 PM PACIFIC!! that means most of the world's day has passed and just one moved. {nm} latafilms Dec 16, 22:12

I think there are 2 issues... Port Value League Admin Dec 16, 23:42

Right, shorts should count. In a literalist way, I get that shorting is not 'buying'. But, as far as taking a market reading, edzep Dec 17, 03:04

A second one just started to move... {nm} Port Value League Admin Dec 16, 23:45

Each NominOption of a "nominated film will cash out at H$10.00" vs. "nominated film will cash out at H$12.00"? {nm} ONAN Dec 16, 11:23

Nominoptions for films nominated for Best Picture will cash out at $10. Screenplay (and other) nominoptions have a $12 cashout {nm} Roger More Dec 16, 12:06

It works out that there is no "Free Money" 20 Possible x 5 cost = 100 100'/10 = 10 payout (Best Pict) 12 x 5 = 60 60/5 = 12 (Oths) {nm} StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 9-4 Dec 16, 18:30

Have the recent rule changes affected your port's Stock/Bond/Derivative/Fund ratios? Chefbobcat Dec 16, 02:34

Increasing investments in Starbonds. Always Max openers. No investment selling under $10 {nm} laujer Dec 16, 07:59

If I Short a Long, or Call a Put, does that do the opposite of it's intended goal? RoboStud Dec 15, 16:49

Do you mean krapnek Dec 15, 16:54

yes, i messed up, i shorted a call and longed a put for Tron {nm} RoboStud Dec 15, 16:56

Yes, both are what you'd do if you think it will do less than the strike prices. {nm} DTravel Dec 16, 00:04

almost the same thing...if you are correct in your prediction, the call will cash out a zero and you will net the difference {nm} lapuckfan Dec 16, 07:49

When will open the nominoption trade? {nm} p3ndolinoITA Dec 15, 04:25

Check out the Market Calendar. it says... Port Value League Admin Dec 15, 07:33

No updates from the-numbers.com in nearly a week. Any info? {nm} Ramdadof3 Dec 14, 10:54

Bruce travels on business a lot.....here is a recent email: StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 9-4 Dec 14, 12:18

First day of H$1M profit! krapnek Dec 14, 10:36

yeah, but I'll back at it tomorrow, I had some good TAG adjusts today hehe {nm} krapnek Dec 14, 12:50

It was my first $1M gain day too. {nm} DTravel Dec 15, 00:01

Nice! <font color="blue">═Flash</fon Dec 10, 23:19

Just for future....you could look at the Announcement board and see what time they get posted...same for Sunday adjusts and Monday delists. {nm} StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 9-4 Dec 14, 08:43

Where to find tracking information CarrotTopStinks Dec 14, 01:18

Most of the tracking is paid for by the studios and becomes public about two weeks before the release date. chicagoslim1 Dec 14, 14:47

thanks! {nm} CarrotTopStinks Dec 15, 04:40

what's the ipo price on nominoptions? at what prices do they cash out? {nm} krapnek Dec 13, 13:22

Generally, the IPO price is $5 and the cash-out value is $12 for successful nominees and $0 for ones that do not get nominated. RogerMore Dec 13, 13:55

8 categories x 12 nominoptions x H$5 per share x 20,000 shares = H$9,600,000 to go all in plus comm.H$9.696M.. StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 9-3 Dec 13, 15:04

best pic category has 20 noms and will cash out at 10 not 12. {nm} rustyshackleford Dec 13, 20:08

Could somebody refresh my memory as to when the Nominoptions start trading? I'm starting over after a very long break. {nm} stevie1der328 Dec 14, 13:43

The calendar is your friend {nm} RogerMore Dec 14, 13:57

Haven't played in nearly a year. One thing hasn't changed... Ramdadof3 Dec 12, 06:00

I dont think anyone predicted NARN3 & TOURI would bomb like they did {nm} impactivist Dec 12, 18:45

This is true for NARN3 but not for TOURI. MTC predicted 19 for TOURI's OW, boxofficefollower.com said 16.5 and LA Times said "under 20". {nm} RogerMore Dec 13, 07:45

Anyone who shorted them was predicting that they would drop JohnTEQP Dec 15, 10:49

Good point {nm} impactivist Dec 17, 14:16

i always get knee-capped by holding openers long. My question is whether it's good strategy to short everything a week before opening. {nm} BuenaOnda Dec 11, 12:17

Strategy {nm} chicagoslim1 Dec 11, 12:33

Thx! {nm} BuenaOnda Dec 11, 14:15

You're Welcome chicagoslim1 Dec 11, 20:47

It's still a little early on some of your titles. Port Value League Admin Dec 11, 21:01

I love this quote on tracking of Yogi Bear Lucas73 Dec 11, 23:18

Actually chicagoslim1 Dec 12, 05:28

As expected chicagoslim1 Dec 19, 11:42

Doh! Looks like I will never buy anything at IPO price again, as they are being released at 4:00AM local time... BIG DOH!!! {nm} radnbad Dec 10, 19:35

sorry... just wanted to open a discussion... are new rules putting players in various time zones at a disadvantage? {nm} radnbad Dec 10, 19:44

Can you think of a time that doesn't disadvantage someone somewhere? {nm} DTravel Dec 10, 23:27

just think it was bit fairer before where IPO price did not change until next day & everyone had a chance to buy/short at IPO price {nm} radnbad Dec 11, 05:18

i agree.im from England and all these changes are for the worse.sorry hsx you spoilt a good game {nm} swordfish1 Dec 11, 09:25

me too, it's a bit sucky ... there's no way you can get the ipo price that way ... 1am maybe, or 7am, but no 4am {nm} jane_citizen Dec 11, 01:51

I had only just started buying them after 5 months or so of trading ... then it changed! big d'oh. jane_citizen Dec 11, 01:52

so far the limited shares at IPO price haven't really changed anything. I'm not sure if any IPO has sold all those shares in the first day {nm} lapuckfan Dec 11, 09:28

Someone clearly hasn't been watching the IPOs *at all*. {nm} DomoI Dec 11, 11:39

I've lost intertest in them lately because their movement is counter-intuitive lapuckfan Dec 11, 12:38

um, yeah, that's clearly not correct {nm} jane_citizen Dec 12, 00:01

Been about a year...are commission free trading days gone? {nm} Ramdadof3 Dec 10, 04:48

Long gone. Almost a year, maybe. {nm} edzep Dec 10, 07:19
