Never mind - Found it! 1% on all trades :) {nm} bluegoose Jun 02, 06:43

What time do the boards reset {nm} swordfish1 Jun 01, 23:33

Midnight Pacific Time {nm} Port Value League Admin Jun 02, 00:19

Which really sucks for those of us on the East Coast who enjoy reset trading... {nm} photochick814 Jul 27, 13:52

Ya my ports worth H$1.8B. But I'm down over 13mil over 15 days. Thought if I hang out here for a while I might learn something. {nm} Rigit Jun 01, 14:43

Yep, things are ugly right now. We just need one or two openers to do well and maybe things will turn around. MojaveMeg Jun 01, 16:21

I feel your pain. I am so sick of seeing red. If only it was orange... just kidding. I hate orange too. {nm} icecreamman Jun 01, 16:46

Same for me....I was a ways above $1.8B the same time, but now I'm hovering JUST above it...really some brutal losses! {nm} Flash Jun 02, 09:34

Everything is RED!!!...what happened to "Going Green"!!! {nm} GLAMMGUY Jun 04, 11:10

My port was 968 million on 5/14 - Now its 956 million going south. Thank goodness for Starbonds {nm} laujer Jun 11, 13:41

I gotta brag An Old Actor May 30, 10:15

WTG! I've had a miserable run lately. Let's hope this summer season improves soon :/ {nm} MojaveMeg May 30, 16:33

And I guess Baddaddy can't claim 'oldest player' status any more. You've got him beat by 2 or 3 years :) MojaveMeg May 30, 16:36

...with you and me following close behind... :-) {nm} Flash May 31, 07:31

Anyone who's made a mil in this market is a trader indeed. Congrats. {nm} Rigit Jun 01, 18:20

a real trader? {nm} zeek Jun 02, 22:30

how do CX derivatives operate???? {nm} mottz May 28, 20:02

Much the same as regular stocks, except that they don't halt and adjust on opening weekend. Because of this, prior to opening weekend, MojaveMeg May 28, 21:49

Also they delist at the same price as thier regular movie bond does {nm} laujer May 29, 08:24

From within HSX, there is some information on trading CX. Look around in FAQs and Helpfiles...there is much to learn. Port Value League Admin May 29, 23:18

Jon Hamm [JHAMM] - Is Shrek Forever After included in next weeks adjustment? Summertainment May 25, 14:47

Only delisting movies will affect the adjustment. Shrek will still be active, so is not included. {nm} osmosis2003 May 25, 15:41

Thanks. {nm} Summertainment May 25, 15:51

Just to further clarify...JHAMM will adjust for STOLV next week, he will adjust for SHRK4 on 6/15 {nm} lapuckfan May 26, 16:06

Um...SPLICE $10 call IPO 5/24... blingam May 25, 12:55

The Market Calendar (*link inside*) states that the Splice Call will trade on the 26th starting at 5pm... Flash May 25, 14:10

Short Selling AlphaMale May 24, 14:30

You cover it. buy/sell short/cover {nm} Shrike May 24, 15:44

If you have a short position. Covering is equal to selling. laujer May 29, 08:29

Iron Man 3 Getting Hammered MitchC May 24, 13:20

Iron Man + "Hammer" (Justin) = Irony RazorHawk May 24, 13:38

I certainly hope it will go up. I've already lost so much on IM3 that there is no point selling it. TheScientist May 25, 13:02

Cash out at $0.00 LeCasual May 20, 14:32

no, commission is only charged when *you* make a trade; when HSX cashes out/delists stocks no commission is charged {nm} RazorHawk May 20, 14:33

Thanks! {nm} LeCasual May 20, 14:40

Does anyone use Limit Orders? If you do, in what context? {nm} Lib84 May 19, 09:45

yes, if i am going to be away when bonds adjust or, if a bond gets real close to its adjust way before adjust date {nm} ndmaster May 19, 12:37

I use them all the time....mostly AFTER adjusts on openers... Flash May 19, 16:08

Flash, can you describe what you do any further? {nm} Zobot May 25, 07:44

How does one place a limit order? wordpoet1 Jun 04, 11:29

how did BWIRN2 tank so bad when it's doing well in the box office? Psiatica May 18, 09:25

Right now it's keeping just below pace with Spider-Man 3, and spidey 3 only pulled in $336.5M {nm} theun4gven May 18, 10:47

Iron Man 2 Put...how come I lost $$?? WheelsWhite May 17, 19:52

Did you buy the put, or short the put? The put price halted at $3.04. If you did a buy, you were betting the movie would make less than JDolphin May 17, 20:47

No, it clearly shows that I bought the put. WheelsWhite May 18, 11:45

Look at the action column of your purchase - if it does say 'Buy' (instead of 'short') then I would post this over on the Feedback and JDolphin May 18, 21:47

Mondays And Decimals #5 RazorHawk May 17, 07:28

Shorting Calls HWDropout May 16, 12:57

The call cashes out at $0. So if it was priced at $2 when you shorted it, that's your profit. {nm} JDolphin May 16, 15:14

are saturdays still comission free ? {nm} Fitch3k May 15, 09:32

nope...they stopped that {nm} tealfan May 15, 09:35

I'm trying to figure out how much my port is up or down today... usually, RazorHawk posts it but he's not around. secretstalker May 15, 05:47

Hmmm...(peeking)... looks like your port is up...but the adjust may change that...so rest easy till then. :-) {nm} Flash May 16, 08:52

All kidding aside, how are you able to check how someone else's port is doing on a daily basis? {nm} secretstalker May 20, 03:47

can I set a Limit Order to buy tomorrow's IPO at the open H$ if I will not be here to trade? {nm} DoctorMovies May 13, 17:16

No - I just tried, and it said it's not active for trading. {nm} RogerMore May 14, 09:11

You must be here the day of IPO's to buy them...or have someone (you TRUST) log on for you and buy them if you can't be here... {nm} Flash May 14, 16:13

You have the whole day to buy at the IPO price (till midnight US Pacific time), so you don't have to be here in the morning {nm} JDolphin May 14, 16:19

thanks all nm marksrw May 24, 19:02
