is there a good (simple) formula for working out DROI? {nm} Oct 25, 20:50
My quick and dirty method is Oct 25, 22:13
The longer, less quick-and-dirty method... Oct 26, 19:42
maybe I've hit my math ceiling ... Oct 26, 22:00
^ means "to the power of" and / means "divide by" . . . Oct 27, 06:30
thanks everyone Oct 27, 19:32
What's the difference between selling and short selling ? (i read the help section :s) Oct 25, 12:10
answer... Oct 25, 13:27
Thanks but still lost ! Oct 25, 16:58
addition on last reply Oct 25, 17:02
Here's some additional thoughts on Shorting.... Oct 25, 17:26
adding more... Oct 25, 17:53
Also, the terminology might be confusing you... Oct 25, 19:46
Thanks but then what's the difference with "call" and "put" derivatives Oct 25, 21:43
My previous post contains more than just the title (sorry can't edit) {nm} Oct 25, 21:44
Let me try to use simple terminology...if possible. Oct 25, 22:28
Calls and Puts are Derivatives. They are based on opening weekend grosses... Oct 25, 22:35
thanks guys (more in the post) Oct 25, 23:28
Simple answer is yes...full reason inside Oct 26, 06:17
Thanks to you too Mojave {nm} Oct 25, 23:30
How often have you reshorted a security since the end of comission-free Saturdays? Oct 22, 07:36
Agreed... usually not too much for me.. I have enough cash that I really don't need to re-short to free up more, though. {nm} Oct 22, 08:49
Same here. Needing cash is really the only reason to do it...... Oct 22, 09:38
Well.. applies to YOU more than me... but true! :-) {nm} Oct 22, 10:57
I've done it a few times, but I don't have the cash reserves that the players above me have {nm} Oct 22, 09:44
never. {nm} Oct 22, 13:49
why would you want to reshort and give away 2% of your profits/stocks? {nm} Oct 22, 16:17
I sometimes run out of cash, especially on Saturdays... when an IPO can jump further than 2% {nm} Oct 22, 19:05
Because even with the 2pct toll, freeing up cash for other investments can sometimes be a good strategy for limited funds.... Oct 22, 20:47
My rule of thumb is 90%+ gain before reshorting... Oct 22, 21:15
I forgot.....the answer to "why": should always be "why not?" That always got an A in Philosophy :>) {nm} Oct 23, 07:23
uh dude, asking a question is not stating my strategy Oct 23, 13:12
My friend, there is no agenda. I may have misread the tone of the question which made it seem as if Oct 23, 22:05
I think of it as though it's a new investment ... Oct 23, 17:06
I agree. . .I reshort all the time. Oct 23, 19:47
Not in 2 years since thats the last time i logged in Oct 24, 02:29
Reached 10 Million in 4 months! Yay me! Oct 21, 22:30

Movie Funds Delisted Oct 21, 14:50
funds delist when they hit $100...I don't know if there's a lag between hitting $100 and the actual delist {nm} Oct 21, 15:08
see my comment about it below. {nm} Oct 21, 16:14
Does a movie fund delist at $100 or at the current value over $100 when HSX gets around to delisting it? {nm} Oct 20, 06:45
Current {nm} Oct 20, 09:14
Bah - SFEK - Current value. Managers generally scramble for those last few dollars for their investors. {nm} Oct 20, 09:17
Delisting question Oct 18, 19:02
I don't know the details, but it was on the calendar as delisting due to not having a theatrical release. {nm} Oct 18, 19:15
it was on the calendar as delisting because it went STV {nm} Oct 18, 21:48
thanks Oct 18, 22:44

[HAFTR] Limited 10/15 wide 10/22 how many days in this films tally on HSX Oct 11, 10:02
Generally... Oct 11, 10:34
I think he's asking when it delists, not what formula is used for initial adjust {nm} Oct 11, 13:22
Well... opening on Oct 22nd...it'll delist 4 weekends after that...which puts it cashing out on Nov. 22nd... {nm} Oct 12, 11:05
It delists Nov 15 - it's 3 weekends after (opening weekend + 3) {nm} Oct 12, 13:10
Correct... I added that 5th weekend thinking 4 weekends...thanks for the heads up. {nm} Oct 12, 17:04
I think that in this case, it will be 2.7 * (Fri-Sun) + previous as this was not a pure "limited" going wide. Oct 16, 08:03
as long as the movie has a release date still scheduled it will not be stv. however, its b.o. will probably be dismal... {nm} Oct 03, 17:26
** This post has been removed by the forum moderator! ** Oct 03, 21:12
Sweet! Never had a post removed before... It was just a tag, though Oct 05, 20:54

[ {nm} Oct 05, 11:53
[CJUSM] is probabally the movie you see advertised {nm} Oct 05, 11:53
What does 'NY/LA EXCL.' mean on a release pattern? {nm} Oct 02, 00:49

TV Stocks? Sep 29, 06:01
quick answer Sep 29, 08:44

StarBonds TAG in H$0 Movies Sep 22, 13:33
If a movie opens and doesn't report box office, then the bonds are detached before delist and do no adjust. {nm} Sep 22, 13:53
The HSX Boards: Different Boards For Different Posts Sep 21, 07:02
Is it not also acceptable to post "milestones" on movie boards? {nm} Sep 21, 20:20
