refresher on the HSX Acronym list tealfan Dec 05, 11:07

99.99% of those are outdated and no longer used; that community of HSX left when 'orange' attepted to launch {nm} RazorHawk Dec 05, 11:39

I wouldn't go quite that far - but I don't think I've heard of 90% of those {nm} JDolphin Dec 05, 17:05

that whole wiki must just be a walk down memory lane for you old timers, eh? {nm} jane_citizen Dec 05, 19:54

Ah, that community still exsists....just not on hsx so much :) {nm} MojaveMeg Dec 06, 08:25

Upcoming HSX Changes: RIP 'Gutchecks' RazorHawk Dec 03, 12:59

basically the games been dumbed down for the mtv generation. swordfish1 Dec 04, 00:49

You may have started playing after HSX allowed shorting of stocks.... Flash Dec 04, 07:48

I haven't played as long as a lot of you An Old Actor Dec 04, 08:17

Hey Swordfish1, I couldn't agree with you more. I've made some huge gains (and equally huge losses) over the years by holding on to stocks {nm} philjack Dec 04, 16:19

Hey Swordfish1, I couldn't agree with you more. philjack Dec 04, 16:25

I gotta brag An Old Actor Dec 01, 02:35

It has a year to go; probably wide; possibly rise in price. It is not too late to reverse to long. Every security is a constant question StarBondsFund BUY Now Jets 9-2 Dec 01, 04:35

Uh oh...wrong Warror.....I better stick to Golden State. {nm} StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 9-2 Dec 02, 12:21

Hey as many of you have said "It is a game' An Old Actor Nov 30, 13:56

Here here! {nm} Damonhawk Nov 30, 21:02

finally, some perspective. thank you old actor! {nm} ndmaster Nov 30, 21:10

How many players total are in HSX? 130k? 200K? {nm} scrtm04 Dec 02, 15:54

I really don't get the movement results, when looking at shares held Long and held Short on IPOs. From yesterday's IPOs... photochick814 Nov 30, 07:16

Am I supposed to get a Confirm option after I place an order ? I never do. {nm} montgomer174 Nov 30, 06:57

It is a negatuve option in the account settings (above right)..click there and remove the check mark...you will get the option screen.... StarBondFund BUY NOW.. Jets 9-2 Nov 30, 07:12

Upcoming HSX Changes: Ready, Set, Go! RazorHawk Nov 29, 14:02

Port Value League is about to reset for next Month's Competition. Get in now before others have a head start. Port Value League Admin Nov 29, 13:34

153 members in 7 leagues and growing! {nm} Port Value League Admin Nov 29, 13:38

can't wait to reach 10m haha {nm} krapnek Nov 30, 18:45

1/2 way there... {nm} Port Value League Admin Dec 01, 00:56

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
