IPO Thoughts: Latin Fund Dos RazorHawk May 04, 16:31

I'm wondering if a movie eventually goes to DVD with no theatrical release and you're holding it short, what happens? {nm} Jane_Citizen May 04, 01:57

Cash out at H$ 0 and you get (probably) a lot of money {nm} billy May 04, 07:16

That sounds rather nice ... {nm} Jane_Citizen May 05, 22:50

Purely my speculation... Port Value League Admin May 03, 16:57

Numbers to consider skeptech May 02, 13:00

You are looking only at the call/put option, but there is more to it than that...Consider the rest of the numbers... Port Value League Admin May 02, 13:23

CALL / PUTS skeptech May 02, 19:06

Calls/Puts are not the closing price, they are the "strike price" for opening weekend ONLY. See glossary (attached) definitions. Port Value League Admin May 02, 19:19

Most movie stocks will see a lot of movement up OR down the few weeks before the movie opens... Flash May 02, 13:36

Some more numbers skeptech May 02, 19:01

great, then short it. {nm} Port Value League Admin May 02, 19:06

Oh ya , all over that .... lol {nm} skeptech May 02, 19:07

Um...how can you be "all over that" with a 3.5 Mil port and 59 securites held? at most you would have 9781 shares if you had ONLY Iron2... {nm} Port Value League Admin May 02, 19:14

hmmm, was not trying to compare portfolio's, but thanks for the derogatory message {nm} skeptech May 04, 07:48

OHHH snap {nm} Kwelt892 May 04, 08:52

Yes, however, I am looking more at the opening weekend adjust.... Flash May 03, 08:01

New Player w/ Question Keil_S May 01, 07:27

Net worth includes the current value of the stocks you hold. Your net worth went down because of the commission on the sale {nm} lapuckfan May 01, 08:06

Thanks, but... Keil_S May 01, 10:34

Like lapuckfan said, your net worth is based on the current value of the stocks you hold, so it includes any profit you made on the stock. RogerMore May 01, 12:22

You pay 1% on the buy and another 1% on the sell, so you hope for at least a 2% gain before you sell. lapuckfan May 01, 12:27

Iron Man 2 H$155 Call - Only H$3.00 Kwelt892 Apr 29, 13:32

You realize that it has to make at least $158M opening weekend for you to make money at that price, right? {nm} lapuckfan Apr 29, 14:02

yes sir {nm} Kwelt892 Apr 30, 06:10

Top opening weekend: 1-The Dark Knight $158,411,483 {nm} skeptech Apr 30, 09:55

Do you think it will make more than Black Sheep (New Zealand-2007)? Get the Flock Out of Here. {nm} myles84 Apr 30, 10:22

No way...by the way who is driving the car?? {nm} Kwelt892 May 04, 08:49

I think I read where if a Starbond has 5 or less movies, you don't count the first one for their TAG, is this true? {nm} HollywoodTycoon61 Apr 29, 07:23

No, that is not true... the formula for TAG's is inside, along with the details from HSX's Glossary... Flash Apr 29, 08:36

Thanks for the info. I heard it in the Help Topics under Starbonds as follows: HollywoodTycoon61 Apr 29, 16:32

The statement you are referring to has to do with Flash Apr 30, 08:10

Thanks Flash, very helpful. {nm} HollywoodTycoon61 May 01, 01:22

You're welcome. {nm} Flash May 01, 08:29

no dupa Apr 29, 08:38

where do you think that you read that? {nm} RazorHawk Apr 29, 09:02

Razor, Look under Help Topics, Starbonds as quoted here: HollywoodTycoon61 Apr 29, 16:45

How do I find a movie's total gross for figuring a Starbond's TAG? {nm} HollywoodTycoon61 Apr 29, 00:14

On the MovieStock page you'll see the 'Gross:' listed among all the other movie info. {nm} eyescovered Apr 29, 03:50

Thanks! {nm} HollywoodTycoon61 Apr 29, 16:46

Historical Data enka Apr 27, 01:00

I'm not sure 'how far back' you're wanting to look, but in your port, you can look at your "Trade History..." Flash Apr 27, 08:06

also that box at the top of the Trade History page where you can type in a stock symbol {nm} tealfan Apr 27, 08:53

If you want to look at historical day-to-day prices, go to the graph for each stock and drill down by expanding the graph. {nm} Antibody Apr 27, 15:12

How do you drill down to get daily (historical) data. I just see the graph and have to scroll thorugh it. {nm} doglickman May 02, 20:06

You click and hold on the graph, then mousevoer the days you want to drill down. {nm} Antibody May 03, 11:55

Nice report, and good idea but most of that profit is from tv stocks which already halted (i tried to buy Melrose yesterday) {nm} JDolphin Apr 26, 15:49

also - you're not including commission in your profit (which granted is very small - but if you're counting pennies ...) {nm} JDolphin Apr 26, 15:52
