Playing & Trading Strategy

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

Can someone provide history of sale of large ports on ebay, etc? {nm} laujer May 13, 10:15

Not sure 'what' type of history you are wanting..but Flash May 13, 15:12

if you;re looking for prices, you could probably do a search on eBay for completed sales {nm} tealfan May 13, 16:56

The first was Blue Duck... RazorHawk May 13, 19:09

I thought that's what I had pointed out... :-) {nm} Flash May 14, 08:16

you provided your best recollection... RazorHawk May 14, 13:12

Well....Blue Duck was correct, so providing the link was helpful, which I didn't have...so no big deal...link's are always helpful. :-) {nm} Flash May 14, 16:11

I believe the last one to sell under the old HSX plan was Induna. He was #2 LT at the time and actually sold to an individual (for $850) MojaveMeg May 15, 08:19

1 Billion....made it. FawnLebowitz May 12, 15:28

IPO Thoughts: The 3D Fund [IN3D] RazorHawk May 12, 08:17

Just a comment about the online comments.....Being a fund manager is all about managing limited amounts of H$. StarBond Fund 15 BUY NOW May 12, 09:47

Darn that typing...as I was saying StarBond Fund 15 BUY NOW May 12, 09:58

For a small investment the potential to make HSX$ seems likely to outweigh the negatives {nm} laujer May 13, 09:09

Any hsx RSS feeds available? Esp. would like the IPO calendar RSS {nm} freedug May 11, 18:19

No, unfortunately not at this time. {nm} Antibody May 12, 17:34

It only took me 5 years, but today's adjust officially put me over H$1 Billion. {nm} tallkris3 May 11, 12:26

congrat$!...tell the Movies board, too :) {nm} tealfan May 11, 12:52

Well...that's better than what it took ME....I think I was 8+ years to get there....back then. :-) {nm} Flash May 11, 16:45

Congrats - Keep it up {nm} laujer May 13, 09:13

Could someone comment on price difference between HSX & Cx (for same movie)? {nm} JimmyGatts May 10, 19:14

two different securities with two different valuations ndmaster May 11, 07:40

Know that when they cash out its at the same price. If there is a large gap in prices near the end - u can make HSX$ {nm} laujer May 13, 09:16
