$5 million _and_ broke the 50% mark in my first two months! Yea me! :-P DTravel Aug 11, 16:46

you might get a bigger response on the Movies board...or not :D tealfan Aug 11, 17:10

Ya, off-topic always gets a better response. :-P {nm} DTravel Aug 11, 17:30

Nice! I had 3.5m right before inception and up over 5m now, but I started in 2006 with some long holds. thepizzaguy Aug 11, 19:30

I'm up 3.59% today. Best day in a week thepizzaguy Aug 13, 19:35

Congra... you'll get the other half at 10 MIL. {nm} Port Value League Admin Aug 11, 22:19

Excellent job! You have a good number of securities for your port size. Play those weekend openers each week! {nm} BelizeIt Aug 11, 22:52

Tracking too many Starbonds with 1 share. :-/ {nm} DTravel Aug 13, 19:40

Kudos!! {nm} <font color="blue">=Flash</font> Dec 10, 23:20

SORRY! {nm} Anti_Fund Aug 11, 04:55

Delisting Scenario Taopuppy Aug 10, 08:49

No, you have one too many weekends. Inception delisted yesterday. {nm} MojaveMeg Aug 10, 09:03

If that's the case, I'm in big touble when the StarBonds I invested in are price adjusted today. Yikes! {nm} Taopuppy Aug 10, 09:22

Yep. My miscount of the number of weekends cost me nearly H$2million. I'll NEVER make that mistake again. {nm} Taopuppy Aug 10, 10:49

Just remember, for Friday releases, the delist is on the 24th day....Even for February that is less than a month... StarBond Fund 15 BUY BONDS Aug 10, 11:50

A date calculator tool (link inside) DTravel Aug 16, 18:56

Pay attention to the market calendar. Let it guide you young neophyte. {nm} lhayes37 Aug 11, 10:51

it delisted yesterday actually :) tealfan Aug 10, 09:05

HSX BOLLYWOOD! LOL. HSX has plans to target the Indian audience as well. “Bollywood is increasingly becoming significant here in the U.S. Teabagger Aug 07, 22:45

Yeah, wonder they've listed Aishwarya Rai, Shekar Kapur and a new film Peepli Live. {nm} sapm5 Aug 08, 09:17

then it has to be a completely different exchange b4bad Aug 08, 15:28

Remember, that article was three (3) years old.......lots of changes in the world since then. {nm} StarBond Fund 15 BUY BONDS Aug 09, 09:57

The League of Extraordinary Movie Geeks is accepting applications! Egotript Aug 06, 19:16

I rather support my scandinavian erection! but thanx.. {nm} Teabagger Aug 07, 20:25

Spending My Hard Earned H$ Taopuppy Aug 04, 16:30

The purchases were removed from the site....perhaps an email to macdaddy@hsx.com might lead to the purchase of schwag if any is still left. {nm} StarBond Fund 15 BUY BONDS Aug 04, 21:40

DUMB QUESTION... KHalloway Aug 02, 23:16

HOBIT is stock for the first Hobbit movie even if it happens to be the only one that ever gets made NiteKraz Aug 03, 00:02

and HOBT2 would delist at "current price" if that were to occurr. {nm} StarBond Fund 15 BUY BONDS Aug 03, 10:34

Was there a precedence for that? HOBT2 would just stay on as a potential sequel. {nm} Antibody Aug 03, 10:51

Ok for the sequel (LRDR4?)...but how about the Red Rider Trilogy and the Toy Store 1 and 2 release as recent precedents {nm} StarBond Fund 15 BUY BONDS Aug 06, 07:09

Not to mention CHE..... StarBond Fund 15 BUY BONDS Aug 06, 07:40

CHE was also a double-feature of two films that decided to report as one. {nm} Antibody Aug 09, 10:54

Not a good example - all the Red Rider movies were made but combined for 1 box office report {nm} JDolphin Aug 06, 15:18

Those were all made as separate films then combine as one release. {nm} Antibody Aug 09, 10:40

Thought we would be together forever. CTND2 50,000 long H$0.77 H$33.82 H$9.86 (-22.57%) H$1,691,000.00 {nm} chuckroast Aug 01, 16:32

Old timer looking to get back in. deskjet Jul 31, 10:12

A billion dollar shopping list? Port Value League Admin Jul 31, 11:14

I would suggest moviestocks and starbonds ndmaster Jul 31, 18:09

Other way around for me NiteKraz Jul 31, 19:19

thanks deskjet Aug 01, 03:12

I agree about the StarBonds. I just bought a boatload of them :) Can't say which, but I bought a LOT! {nm} Taopuppy Aug 03, 16:13

Project Genome - WTF??? No wonder I'm getting my butt kicked from all you cheating types... {nm} kooties Aug 04, 16:36

There have been charts dating back prior to my arrival 10 years age....to wit: StarBond Fund 15 BUY BONDS Aug 06, 07:38

Dude stop whingin, I have been on top 100 all 4 weeks of my first month playing.. I didn know abo gnome, and is it really about winning??? Teabagger Aug 07, 20:57

hey deskjet.....i quit for about a year and fell 40 positions ReaperXXX Jul 31, 19:38

Hi deskjet. I've been around since December '97 and just cracked H$5 billion this week. There are still a few of us around. Welcome back! {nm} MojaveMeg Jul 31, 22:52

Wow...you missed HSX Orange...Just like NED, it was number 2 literally. Seriously, as keeper of the BONDS flame, StarBond Fund 15 BUY BONDS Aug 01, 07:11

There's still a few of us around... Flash Aug 01, 09:33

Joined in '98. Quick in '05. Back Last Year with New Username - Anyone remember musicstocks? {nm} tribality Aug 02, 18:19

The MSX didn't quite work, but I remember it {nm} NiteKraz Aug 02, 18:52

Yes, I do. They were easier than starbonds! ndmaster Aug 02, 21:46

Ahhh...yep... the musicstocks... How about the "HSX weekly videos" with the "hot stocks of the week" and other info?? {nm} Flash Aug 03, 09:00

Why didn't I hear about this in 97' or 98?? soo much better than all the other nonsense internet games around! {nm} Teabagger Aug 07, 21:10

I remember the amazing days of MSX...it was so easy to make money, i was in the top 200 when they closed MSX {nm} extepan Aug 24, 01:26

What happens to short buys when a movie delisted for a penny. Will I get paid for decline in price? thepizzaguy Jul 30, 13:46

Yes, you'd profit by the difference between your original price and the delist price. This is why STVs are so prized. {nm} MojaveMeg Jul 30, 15:24

sounds like you may need a lesson in how stocks delist lapuckfan Jul 30, 17:05

Thanks. My short stocks were big winners Friday {nm} thepizzaguy Jul 30, 23:40

Yeah. I have no idea what I am doing. {nm} thepizzaguy Jul 30, 23:59

Help topics for you then... Port Value League Admin Jul 31, 00:42

Whats the point of Leagues? afrobro Jul 29, 12:10

I think they're just for fun. {nm} DTravel Jul 29, 15:57

Leagues basically.... Flash Jul 29, 19:18

Leagues basically... RazorHawk Jul 30, 06:51

Since HSX changed to V3 leagues probably have changed more that way... Flash Jul 30, 08:11

As you've been before before, That's the Trader Watchlist and it still exists. Antibody Jul 30, 09:05

Thanks... {nm} Flash Jul 30, 15:58

Never heard of the watch list!! why is it not an column in the community menu as all the others?? I never see whats hidden to the right :s {nm} Teabagger Aug 07, 21:17

FLASH ....LISTEN UP! RazorHawk Jul 30, 13:23

*bows head humbly* Flash Jul 30, 16:07

adding the "thumbs up" you find on Facebook and Youtube, in that way its easier to see who has something clever to say! Teabagger Aug 07, 21:22

When will there be a rating system for what leagues are highly active or sleeping.. Can someone come up with some rating pls.. Teabagger Aug 07, 21:14

Leagues group players with like minds Port Value League Admin Jul 31, 00:44

I'm averaging H$400K/Day over the last 7 days. Is that good/bad/or indifferent? {nm} Taopuppy Jul 27, 06:26

its good for your port size...a good rule of thumb is to try to average a 1% gain per day. {nm} lapuckfan Jul 27, 07:55

It's hard to know depending on your port size... with 'smaller' ports...a good goal is to increase your port by 1% a day... Flash Jul 27, 07:56

Currently the port is at just a hair under H$47Million. {nm} Taopuppy Jul 27, 07:59

Summer time is a good time to run up the value of your port... Flash Jul 28, 07:35

you can click on a posters name inside their post to see their port size {nm} RazorHawk Jul 27, 10:39

That I know....however I usually don't go check the size of players who post...but thanks. {nm} Flash Jul 28, 07:31

maybe join a league so you can compare with others? {nm} Jane_Citizen Jul 28, 18:56

Sent you an invite to the league of players with comparable port size... {nm} Port Value League Admin Jul 28, 23:21

At A Certain Point Taopuppy Jul 25, 07:56

That .25% is per *year* shadowking Jul 25, 08:17

Oh. Well now I feel stupid. {nm} Taopuppy Jul 25, 08:35

the top ports.. RazorHawk Jul 25, 08:49

On my port, it would work out to be about $4.5M a year...which isn't much if you really think about keeping all your cash liquid... Flash Jul 25, 13:29

I remember it being 6%... Some time back... {nm} Oleg Max Jul 26, 08:37

I can beat that. I remember when StarBonds paid interest. {nm} Taopuppy Jul 26, 15:40

Wouldn't those be dividends? {nm} DTravel Jul 26, 22:57

Bonds paid interest. Stocks on HSX have never paid dividends (thought it would be nice if they did). {nm} Taopuppy Jul 27, 06:22

How is your portfolio looks like? Mine: 35% Movies, 64% Starbonds, 0% Derivatives, 1% Movie Funds. {nm} delfinasu Jul 23, 05:21

movies: 60%, bonds: 21%, cash 19% ndmaster Jul 23, 08:21

45.5% Movies, 11% Starbonds, .05% Derivatives, .05% Funds, 43.4% Cash {nm} shadowking Jul 23, 08:22

you need starbonds to help you get to be a billionaire {nm} laujer Jul 24, 10:15

I do not think he is a serious player {nm} RazorHawk Jul 24, 17:12

34% movies, 64% bonds, 2% cash. Trace elements of derivatives. {nm} Zaba Jul 24, 01:39

MovieStocks 57%, StarBonds 17%, Derivatives 1%, Funds 25%, Cash 0% (need more cash) {nm} DTravel Jul 24, 18:29

New Accurate Opening Weekend Gross Projection Tool The_Movie_Projector Jul 22, 09:13

Please do not post a Rating "Call to Action" in your Tweet. That can be considered manipulation. Antibody Jul 22, 10:35

Will do...sorry about that {nm} The_Movie_Projector Jul 22, 11:13

Off by 8.2 mil on RMONA, and 15.3 on ESALT... you might need to tweak your process :p {nm} Chefbobcat Jul 25, 13:18

not a good week to "show off" your accuracy... {nm} lapuckfan Jul 26, 10:38

I agree...Expecting better results this week {nm} The_Movie_Projector Jul 27, 13:14

Not too bad on SHMUC, off by 1.67, but DLCSC and CTND2 were 22.5 off, combined {nm} Chefbobcat Aug 01, 10:53

What is the thought process for funds having both the call & puts of movies long in their portfolio? Wouldn't one negate the other? {nm} confusedman Jul 21, 14:06

they would not negate each other... lapuckfan Jul 21, 14:26

Thanks... I've always been wondered about that. Excellent explanation. {nm} Chefbobcat Jul 21, 18:48

Personally, I disagree with the strategy..... StarBond Fund 15 BUY BONDS Jul 22, 08:41

quick question about League play and viewing others Portfolio ganbei Jul 19, 18:44

No....there is no way to view another player's portfolio (unless they give you their username, etc)... in earlier days Flash Jul 20, 08:02

^^ Correction above: You CAN'T just add people at random...typo on the inside post. {nm} Flash Jul 20, 08:03

I think the trader watchlist is still there - under Community. RacingLeek Jul 20, 09:01

Yes, I knew about it...I was referring to individual ports...you used to be able to Flash Jul 20, 09:15

That's the Watchlist, the "old" league. {nm} Antibody Jul 20, 11:07

I think we're talking about the same thing ... maybe ... RacingLeek Jul 20, 11:20

Correct.... Flash Jul 21, 16:30

Newbie question - ARB stands for ???? {nm} DTravel Jul 17, 16:44

arbitrage, or guaranteed money ndmaster Jul 17, 19:00

Thank you {nm} DTravel Jul 17, 19:06

Also....at the bottom of this (and every) page there is a link to the HSX Glossary... this may also be of help to you... {nm} Flash Jul 19, 08:00

Looked there, couldn't find it. {nm} DTravel Jul 19, 12:36

Scroll to the very bottom of this (and every) page...in the bottom left is "HELP"...under that is "FAQ's..."Glossary," etc... {nm} Flash Jul 19, 15:30

...I'll be darned... I thought it USED to be there in the Glossary....so sorry. {nm} Flash Jul 21, 16:38

No offense taken, just another opportunity to snark! :) {nm} DTravel Jul 22, 11:32

ARB isn't in there, but a lot of other stuff is! :) {nm} tealfan Jul 19, 17:01

Been a while since i've been active, Is Saturday still free trading day? thnx {nm} AlexanderC Jul 17, 15:03

nope, not for a year or so... {nm} Oleg Max Jul 17, 15:56

of course fastest way to find that out is to put a small trade in, and see if you are charged a comish... Oleg Max Jul 17, 15:59

yeah, that was plan B {nm} AlexanderC Jul 17, 19:54

ah that sucks. but use to lose big on saturdays so maybe it's better. thanx {nm} AlexanderC Jul 17, 19:53

Welcome back! {nm} RazorHawk Jul 18, 08:22

AlexanderC - what do you think of the new look and features? I think the site is better than ever and hope it never goes away. {nm} tribality Aug 02, 18:28
