Perhaps it is time for players to restrategize? With 24 Delisted stocks there are 62 Concept stocks left...but lets analyze the departed... StarBondsFund BUY Now Jets 9-2 Nov 28, 19:31

Part 2....Then again, only 4 of the delisted 25 had values over 1, and NEWT and TMSHR were the big losers, but StarBondsFund BUY Now Jets 9-2 Nov 28, 20:15

I bought GODFS long at 1 cent, as a hopeful lark. (But, shorted NEWT all the way down from the 90s.) {nm} edzep Nov 29, 03:17

I was a "bottom feeder" playing that bounce a long time ago, but under the current version" StarBondsFund BUY Now Jets 9-2 Nov 29, 07:37

This game is getting worse. swordfish1 Nov 24, 06:30

I also dropped.... Flash Nov 24, 08:50

Yeah,the swings in trading are inconsistant.had i known about the stock shares going up I wouldn have sold alll my stock when I had around {nm} swordfish1 Nov 24, 15:39

Well... at least we have fair warning that share limits will be increased to 100K shares come January... so Flash Nov 24, 16:10

Ive heard a good strategy is to cash out when a stock has made a good return then move on to the next big thing {nm} HollywoodTycoon61 Nov 25, 12:59

When you have limited resources, and even a port your size is not HUGE, you have to think shorter term. So if you make StarBondsFund BUY Now Jets7-2 Nov 27, 06:22

Well, depending on your port size, that's always a good idea... Flash Nov 27, 15:30

the game is definitely changing, however, the upcoming changes will likely not do much, IMO ndmaster Nov 24, 19:50

I'm just a bit ahead of you with my port...but Flash Nov 25, 10:06

re machel123 Nov 29, 23:12

I agree! {nm} LeCasual Nov 26, 06:41

Well ... 'Shares Held' is a unreliable indiactor for IPO initial movement Lib84 Nov 23, 06:43

I was surprised by that, too. Seems unlikely, but, maybe the shorters were a larger number of traders with small positions, while edzep Nov 23, 07:27

yeah, that probably is, make sense {nm} krapnek Nov 23, 10:33

Your Port Monkey update edzep Nov 23, 11:59

thank you so much edzep! :D you're the man {nm} krapnek Nov 24, 03:37

maybe the rate at wich the stocks are sold also has influence {nm} krapnek Dec 02, 17:02

But it's shares held, not number of people holding it. You would think that if the number of shares held long by far outnumbered... photochick814 Nov 30, 07:13

it seems like the IPO price is set with a certain expectation of how many will go long vs. short and the stock price is driven by that {nm} lapuckfan Nov 23, 10:54

It seems kind of stupid that 32M shares of people thinking the IPO price was too low and 5M shares thinking it was too high shadowking Nov 23, 13:08

That puzzles me, too. I watched the Saturday IPO all day, and it's movement gave me fits Chefbobcat Nov 24, 03:19

maybe the rate at wich the stocks are sold also has influence {nm} krapnek Dec 02, 17:03

How the prices move for an IPO, for example. 1 dollar IPO if there is 10 people that buy maximum shares, how it would move the price? {nm} JZermeno Nov 22, 15:52

I believe that formula is kept a secret...right next to the Colonel's secret recipe and the recipe for Coke :) {nm} tealfan Nov 22, 16:10

Amazon has the Colonel's Secret Recipe RazorHawk Nov 22, 18:23

FYI, you DON'T want to know the Colonel's recipe.... {nm} lukasck Nov 25, 10:12

Will opening day gut checks still be allowed after the change or only on halt day? Sorry if I missed this in all of the hullabaloo. {nm} theun4gven Nov 22, 06:27

In past years, HSX has allowed gut checks within 24 hours or so of openings / halts..personally, I don't think it'll be a problem {nm} Flash Nov 22, 07:42

when do you sell when a movie comes out or when it delists? {nm} mutasharid Nov 21, 15:24

either way. after adjust, you may want to change your position, if you think it will not delist at its adjust price ndmaster Nov 21, 17:34

Technically, "delist" is not a sale and is not subject to commission. It may seem silly to liquidate close to delist time, unless you feel StarBondsFund BUY Now Jets7-2 Nov 22, 08:55

what time of day do adjusts take place? boredoftrade Nov 24, 11:06

Hi Guys. Is there commision payable on trades now. TheFox Nov 19, 23:11

yes, there is .01 per share commission on all trades. no commission free weekends. {nm} ndmaster Nov 20, 06:28

make that 1% {nm} lapuckfan Nov 21, 12:26

you are correct. sorry. {nm} ndmaster Nov 21, 17:34

Ah math..... .01=1% That makes you both correct. {nm} StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 8-2 Nov 22, 05:14

no, .01 per share is not the same as 1% of the trade amount, which is correct. ndmaster Nov 22, 06:15

I was defending you.....to me it meant a factor of .01 (as in multiply by for the total trade, not by the number of shares) {nm} StarBondsFund BUY Now Jets7-2 Nov 22, 08:57

50,000 Share Limit? TJNFL1 Nov 19, 17:46

It was increased to 75,000 on Nov 1 - and in the new announcement today, will be raised to 100,000 in January {nm} JDolphin Nov 19, 18:25

The one thing I don't like about the game changes, is that IPO's can move that day. I don't like that. cactusdan Nov 19, 13:52

I agree, since I'm not on in the morning either - but if I read it correctly, it will be available late just not at the opening price {nm} JDolphin Nov 19, 18:27

that's the way I understood it too, but why should we have to pay a higher amount for something that is usually halted. {nm} cactusdan Nov 19, 19:14

You might pay less. Once it moves, it could move either way. (And if it rises and you want to short, even better.) {nm} StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 7-2 Nov 20, 07:54

sounds like you are making a big assumption that you are always correct on IPOs initial direction ndmaster Nov 19, 21:27

This rule and the one about halting trade on Saturday rather than Friday feel like they are designed to get rid of international players Phillips Nov 20, 16:29

i understand that they are trying to make it more like real world trading. wojeck Nov 20, 20:56

With the rule changes, it will hurt playing Razor's STV list; am I correct? Shorting small stocks will not be wise? {nm} damenchipguy Nov 19, 10:45

Sorting a stock that is 2 cents or less would not be wise with a 2 cent per share commission, but shadowking Nov 19, 10:59

If a potential STV is down to .01, leave it alone. Higher? short it. Not hard, even with the new rules. {nm} StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 7-2 Nov 19, 17:41

So you'd short a 2 cent stock with the new minimum 2 cent per share commission? shadowking Nov 19, 20:17

IDK why there has to be wise-cracks. A 2 cent comm on small stocks(buy and sell) will hurt the profit margin, Starbond why? damenchipguy Nov 19, 21:06

As to the original question, it is always wise to short a future STV (as long as the price is greater than .02) {nm} StarBondsFund BUY Now Jets7-2 Nov 20, 15:30

I got it, less margin but easy money, Thank You :) {nm} damenchipguy Nov 21, 07:57

First time I am $6 mill + in 30 days An Old Actor Nov 19, 03:42

It's been a good run-up...if you were holding them right :) Happy Trading. {nm} MojaveMeg Nov 19, 09:32

Post adjust probability based on range of predictions - Based on current prices. Port Value League Admin Nov 18, 23:54

Probably should have posted in movies...next time. {nm} Port Value League Admin Nov 18, 23:56

How does HSX Blog "Whisper Numbers" come up with its predictions? Port Value League Admin Nov 18, 23:38

I am holding my stocks exactly the opposite of their movement today...damn you, day traders ;) {nm} Port Value League Admin Nov 17, 16:48

Same here, every single 75k holding is red and the shorts are green lol... {nm} jeankie Nov 18, 03:36

yesterday started out horrible for me, and ended positive. the slingshot effect is continuing, having a great day already {nm} ndmaster Nov 18, 07:12

ditto... I started out yesterday morning down H$1.2M. By the end of the day I was up H$1m+. {nm} amnesiac Nov 18, 07:43

well we can't say the new game isn't more challenging...lol {nm} tealfan Nov 18, 08:51

...and today it's the opposite. Thank you Day Traders ;) {nm} Port Value League Admin Nov 18, 11:56

Question regarding the new the new shares held on HSX stat and IPO's aldus Nov 17, 07:21

best thing to do is watch current IPOs and the shares held. its a learning experience for all of us! {nm} ndmaster Nov 17, 08:41

judging from Monday IPOs (that moved for the first time yesterday), there is more to the stock movement than just longs vs. shorts {nm} lapuckfan Nov 17, 09:26

you're right- yesterday's IPO's moved exacly the opposite of what they would have had my logic been correct. Thanks. (nm) aldus Nov 18, 09:45

A film opens limited rel then goes wide - Will it adjust two times? {nm} laujer Nov 16, 13:56

Nope. A movie can only adjust once. {nm} eyescovered Nov 16, 13:57

Basically, if a film opens 'limited' first... and then opens wide... HSX does this: Flash Nov 16, 14:32

plus, limited release movies don't adjust {nm} lapuckfan Nov 16, 14:33

True...although he was asking 'when it goes wide' which is why I wanted to explain 'how' it adjusts if it did go wide Flash Nov 16, 14:40

Thanks everyone - you helped {nm} laujer Nov 16, 19:19
