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

seems cool, forgot how complicated it is, great hobby. {nm} buckweaver Sep 04, 02:35

Anytime you increase your value my 1 million is good {nm} laujer Jul 17, 06:43

So, is increasing my portfolio by $1 million in my first month good or am I a slacker? {nm} DTravel Jul 15, 20:27

the first million comes the hardest {nm} Jane_Citizen Jul 16, 03:13

although, I assume the thousandth one takes a bit of work to get, too ;) Jane_Citizen Jul 16, 03:16

You're doing great. Summer is generally a time for great gains, but this one has started out a little rough. Expect the market to MojaveMeg Jul 16, 09:24

A good "rule of thumb" for new ports is to increase your port by about 1% a day... as time goes on Flash Jul 16, 09:40

My goal is 2% a month... With 4 billion port, it is a challenge... {nm} Oleg Max Jul 16, 13:34

Yep....huge ports have a tough job increasing that much...AND by moving UP much in rank on those in FRONT of them, too... ! {nm} Flash Jul 17, 11:14

So I guess I should keep playing 'Learn & Earn' and 'Box Office Battle' every day.... DTravel Jul 16, 14:14

Every single day! {nm} Chefbobcat Jul 16, 15:40

long and short? El_Camino Jul 13, 20:16

short explanation of short tealfan Jul 13, 20:59

A shorter explanation laujer Jul 16, 10:51

embarrassed to ask: What is MTC/RS? americanrealism Jul 13, 20:12

that's a popular question..hehe tealfan Jul 13, 20:55

$50, 000 Movie Choice Question? MitchC Jul 12, 17:38

The redemption of your port money for t-shirts, cups and such is also no more.... {nm} Anniebecca Jul 12, 17:52

That went away a day or two after the Cantor announcement came out. Cantih Jul 12, 19:28

The shirts were geeky-chic, but the pens were pretty cruddy {nm} Chefbobcat Jul 12, 21:09

LEAGUE - OVER 60 MEMBERS, THE $H TOP TRADERS, CHECK IT OUT!! {nm} dc82 Jul 09, 01:22

Please do not type in all caps {nm} RazorHawk Jul 11, 10:26

Dumb newbie question - Top gainers this week only hold 1 security? DTravel Jul 06, 19:40

Just guessing, but I'd say these were people with small ports who bet everything on the weekend openers. Players have different styles of MojaveMeg Jul 06, 19:45

Thanks for asking the question and also for the replies, was wondering the same myself, new and excited to be joining the community. {nm} Haul433 Jul 10, 17:17

Its % based PimpDaNation Jul 06, 23:58

50k max neuregel Jul 13, 21:50

1 security is what their public profiles said but.... DTravel Jul 13, 22:54

Can someone explain what these numbers mean: Daily Interest: H$0.00 (@ 0.25%/yr) - While My change today equals 2.26%....?? {nm} Teabagger Jul 06, 02:28

its the daily interest on you cash balance.... Yowster Jul 06, 05:43

What the F.. just happened to the month to date leaderboard?? Teabagger Jul 06, 00:23

BENDR and TWLI3 had opening week adjusts. If held correctly 3.5mil+ gain, monthly board ports are small so that is a huge juimp {nm} JDolphin Jul 06, 02:08

How much does HSX have in the "bank" from commissions? (Not being serious) DTravel Jul 05, 16:26

Not sure. Good question {nm} PimpDaNation Jul 06, 23:59

That is a very good question, at 1% of all trades for the last 12 years how much H$ would have been banked? {nm} damenchipguy Jul 12, 22:28

Did you facor in the 2m per acoount? {nm} StarBond Fund 15 BUY BONDS Jul 20, 22:31

Should we? :) {nm} DTravel Jul 21, 10:52

cx-derivatives..; my take on what could happen and how to 'deal' with it JMT Jul 03, 11:06

They'll be delisted at whatever their current price is Tuesday, as DMac has already stated. shadowking Jul 03, 12:22

offcourse. but what will be that 'current' price, and how will it get there ? {nm} JMT Jul 03, 13:47

I agree with both of you, in a way. I'd like for JMT's interpretation to be correct/followed, but feel it's likely that it's about their own Facto Jul 04, 15:34

Does anyone know...(HSX Future) DJO Jul 03, 03:21

It's like with the global economy, the climate etc - we don't really know, but hope for the best, and carry on as usual. Facto Jul 03, 07:39

Thanks, good advice {nm} DJO Jul 03, 09:17

So it turns out congressional Republicans were right when they said that the financial reform bill would kill jobs. {nm} lukesed Jul 03, 12:15

It was actually the studios who lobbied to ban trading in movie box-office futures... ryking Jul 06, 23:24

Welcome to the new HSX! ElliottSidney Jul 01, 23:59

(Disregard the above, I'm sure - some kid playing around) {nm} Facto Jul 02, 00:21

Ummm....many of these 'new' features 'you' speak about have been here for years...if you had been around here, you'd know that. {nm} Flash Jul 02, 09:50

very well!!! ElliottSidney Jul 05, 02:51

Advertising the auto parts-gate dot com page.. ? What for... ? {nm} Facto Jul 06, 18:40

Future of HSX Somerset Jul 01, 23:36

I'd pay a small membership fee... {nm} Chefbobcat Jul 01, 23:40

HSX will lose probably 90% of the users. {nm} greedisgood Jul 12, 07:08

I would, a few dollars a month Facto Jul 01, 23:52

I would pay to play... davmoo Jul 02, 00:17

Sure...a NOMINAL fee would be cool. {nm} GLAMMGUY Jul 02, 02:32

No no no. You would lose too many players. Until we hear something, this is still all just paranoid speculation, but if need be to keep... islander Jul 02, 03:14

I've paid a nominal fee for other online games before, and would do so here. shadowking Jul 02, 05:42

This game has been around for 13+ years as a free game, I see no need for them to charge $$... Flash Jul 02, 09:48

Flash - you haven't benn following the other boards have you? {nm} Somerset Jul 02, 20:22

Nope....mainly just my port...and here...I used to follow Movies, but not as much time, any more.... :-) {nm} Flash Jul 04, 09:40

I would pay a few bucks a month (NM) erehwon Jul 12, 10:45

Most recent huge payoff? austpow Jun 30, 16:24

Not sure if you're talking % gain, or dollar gain.... Flash Jul 01, 08:18

Oops, it's a Bond, sorry :( {nm} Chefbobcat Jul 01, 10:50
