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

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

If a film is limited. Do you buy or not? {nm} laujer Nov 16, 09:37

depends on where it is trading and its trend {nm} ndmaster Nov 16, 11:24

Many MovieStocks for limited films are overpriced. (Hedge...but not all) StarBond Fund 16 ...BUY BONDS Nov 16, 13:07

How the heck are you guys managing with the recent game changes? Lib84 Nov 15, 13:40

how I am managing.... RazorHawk Nov 15, 14:25

Magnificently, thank you :) {nm} amnesiac Nov 15, 16:37

just used up most of my cash. trading a little bit more. ndmaster Nov 15, 19:17

I'm more of a long term trader, so my port's doing juuuuuust fine =D DomoI Nov 15, 22:25

Actually, I've moved up in LTD rank by over 15 points...which has been hard to do at this stage Flash Nov 16, 08:28

My port's up H$60M since the change, so it's been good to me. It's the day traders I believe causing the "caos". Rigit Nov 16, 19:55

Yeah... I'm up H$35M+ since the change and my port isn't 1/4 the size of yours. Definitely been good to me :) amnesiac Nov 17, 08:37

TIP#0 watch for news, especially on the Announcements board. News moves stocks and bonds. {nm} ndmaster Nov 15, 13:22

While I don't disagree with this tip, I would argue that for small ports it is risky to buy/sell according to news that... Port Value League Admin Nov 15, 20:05

lets see...several bonds are attached to a blockbuster. other bonds are detached from said blockbuster. these are too risky? ndmaster Nov 15, 22:59

I don't have the corner of the market on good advice. I just thought it would be helpful to post some for a change. Port Value League Admin Nov 15, 23:36

A Billion does not cut it nowadays....it takes about 4B to really be "all in"...however...I agree that the smaller StarBond Fund 16 ...BUY BONDS Nov 16, 13:31

BTW a correction...recently the-numbers changed the format....all unreleased films use current prices for estimates StarBond Fund 16 ...BUY BONDS Nov 16, 13:25

I was not aware. Thanks for the update. {nm} Port Value League Admin Nov 16, 19:12

I've looked closer at Numbers...the estimated delist price is whatever the current box office is. Numbers is completely irrelevant now. {nm} Port Value League Admin Nov 17, 20:53

I was going through the movie funds, trying to figure out the way that the managers may be holding their own ports... damenchipguy Nov 14, 14:41

your not. it's just covering ours options. i do it when an opener is to close to call either way {nm} swordfish1 Nov 14, 15:40

It's a pretty common tactic, especially for big blockbuster movies where you're risking only $20,000 for potentially large gains. RogerMore Nov 14, 16:09

RM- that's not what he said. he said both derivatives long and short. i agree, your strategy can be very lucrative {nm} ndmaster Nov 14, 17:58

sorry - I obviously read dcg's post too quickly. At a guess, I would say the fund manager has flipped but forgotten to cover/sell {nm} Roger More Nov 14, 19:40

I understand, thanks I have found that digging through the funds has been telling about how the managers play. damenchipguy Nov 15, 10:30

I mean to say could be telling about how the managers port may look {nm} damenchipguy Nov 15, 10:31

Looking for big move in either direction - when you're not sure which way it will move {nm} Yowster Nov 14, 07:44
