Question: How do movie funds work and what determines the price specifically Studios so how do you know if it's a good buy or short? {nm} Smallville944 Feb 08, 23:26

Based on the price of the movie stocks the fund invests in. So it also depends on how good the manager is - if they pick the right position JDolphin Feb 09, 00:03

Movie funds are similar to.... Rocket123 Feb 09, 09:34

At around what time do movies usually delist? there are some movies delisting tommorow. {nm} the_noble Feb 08, 10:25

the Market Calendar is your friend, (movies delist on Mondays normally) {nm} lapuckfan Feb 08, 10:52

Security Has Gone Up, But I Cant Sell It, What Happens? {nm} MitchC Feb 07, 13:10

Which 'security' are you talking about? An opener (they can be sold AFTER adjusts happen) or some other stock?? {nm} Flash Feb 07, 13:39

Dear John MitchC Feb 08, 06:14

You can't sell while its halted, but it should have been made active yesterday around 11am PST {nm} lapuckfan Feb 08, 07:17

In the future....ALL openers cannot be bought or sold until they adjust on a 'normal' Sunday adjust. AFTER they adjust... Flash Feb 08, 07:42

Stupid Newbie Question Alert: Any Studio Funds I've Seen: None of them have any star bonds. confusedman Feb 06, 20:50

Exactly. Studio funds are limited to the movies released by a specific studio. Bonds are not studio specific. {nm} MojaveMeg Feb 06, 21:11

I would like to have a look at my entire Port. and trade history not just the last 30 days. How do I do this? {nm} jbinthehouse Feb 06, 13:28

With the 'old' version of HSX we could do this, but not any longer....it requires too much server space... it used to Flash Feb 06, 16:33

you can filter it by ticker symbol and that looks like it goes back about 9 months showing all trades for that ticker {nm} ndmaster Feb 06, 18:44

Since the start of the new HSX, I guess. {nm} RogerMore Feb 07, 11:21

huh? {nm} tonyj1 Feb 06, 11:12

securites. sorry. {nm} the_noble Feb 06, 11:14

what are some equations for hsx like finding out gain for opening week for a movie and how much a delsit will make a stock go up? {nm} the_noble Feb 06, 11:04

I'll answer part 2. Someone with more experience can tackle part 1, if there is an answer besides estimating. Rocket123 Feb 06, 12:27

That helps alot. Thank you. I have been wondering about that for awhile now, just figured I would finally ask lol. {nm} the_noble Feb 06, 12:33

We're all in this together... {nm} Rocket123 Feb 06, 13:34

Thanks! zbbrox Feb 06, 18:04

this suprised me might suggest something to change this though. {nm} mbking92 Feb 07, 15:25

Maybe I should have written "Fortunately, ...". You're right about being better than the alternative. nm Patient Player Feb 07, 19:30

Is there any way to turn off the ticker scrolls?. It really slows down page loading {nm} bubbleboy Feb 06, 08:16

I don't know that you can turn them "off" but you can "hide" the ticker by clicking on the " < " on the left bottom by the ticker {nm} Flash Feb 06, 08:39

it can also be done by checking the box under account settings. Also, using ad block/element hiding with Firefox, one can block indiviidual islander Feb 06, 12:22

Fairly new member. Can anyone help me out? music4life Feb 03, 08:01

The best time to sell is when you have a better option for your money elsewhere. It also depends on your trading style, size of port, etc RogerMore Feb 03, 08:27

Here's some tips for building your port faster that I posted on Board 2 here... (Back boards have lots of useful info...check them too!) Flash Feb 03, 09:03

also im new but i can give you stuff that helped me mbking92 Feb 03, 21:04

Starbonds are probably the second best way to make money after openings dupa Feb 04, 10:04

I second this, I've been trading for about 6 months and I've made most of my money (up to H$$61M) trading starbonds {nm} lapuckfan Feb 04, 10:16

Would echo the point that you should look for easy money first SPrasad2 Feb 05, 08:56

Is there still a Commission free trading time? ashady Jan 28, 00:39

It's been gone for a few months now I believe. {nm} eyescovered Jan 28, 05:00

i was just gonna ask the same question - it seems to have evaporated {nm} SurleyGFebbs Jan 30, 13:01

No, there was an announcement a week or so before it happened {nm} eyescovered Jan 30, 13:19

Funny, i have been gone about a year and was going to ask that. i don't miss the wild down saturdays though. {nm} Lathe Jan 30, 16:35

Comission Free Weekends ended in the middle of Sept '09 {nm} RazorHawk Jan 31, 12:16

This was too surreal to let pass ... LTD port just until 4B ... today's change: $937.47 (!!!) BC Jan 27, 08:37

Don't you love it? With a port that size, to have such a small increase? Mine's $1.7B, and I feel your pain.... haha {nm} Flash Jan 27, 15:22

NominOptions above Exercise price ?? menloshark Jan 26, 18:23

only reason is people not paying attention {nm} lapuckfan Jan 26, 18:39

Perhaps some players confused NominOptions with AwardOptions, which could cash out at $25. nm Patient Player Feb 06, 11:01
