when is the next ajust for the star bonds? {nm} mbking92 Jan 21, 13:30

oh so they only adjust once why is the guy who plays on chuck going down? mbking92 Jan 21, 18:32

ZLEVI won't adjust until his next movie delists later this year ndmaster Jan 22, 07:48

a starbond will typically move in the opposite direction of its adjust the next day lapuckfan Jan 22, 09:29

so also say a movie makes a lot after it delists is this adjusted right away or until the next movie? {nm} mbking92 Jan 22, 21:29

TAG is adjusted weekly if there is additional box office (on Mondays I think), but these adjustments osmosis2003 Jan 24, 03:07

Is there a cap on Holiday Warrants? Rejinx Jan 20, 22:48

You are correct. This often happens with warrants as people either are already holding it long, or they figure it won't start to MojaveMeg Jan 20, 23:43

no, bonds with less than 3 delisted movies are still divided by 3 {nm} ndmaster Jan 20, 19:00

also you should have used the Gross ($70.16) not the delist price for BMOM2 {nm} soopersaiyan319 Jan 20, 19:13

ooooooh ok, thanks ndmaster & soopersaiyan! {nm} bdiz Jan 20, 21:34

Good job I'm at 141 Mil trying to get to a Bil by end of next year Borat Jan 20, 15:17

how is that? can you help me with tips? when to buy/sell? how much?? {nm} Gipsy Jan 20, 16:51

read the forums regularly. Don't forget starbonds as they are sure shot income. Try to invest in the weekend openings as much as possible. amitkinger Jan 20, 21:06

try to read forecast of opening weekends from different sites. have faith in long-term investment and avoid day trading. {nm} amitkinger Jan 20, 21:08

Avoid day trading? To each his own I say. Slow and steady naah...fast day trading got me to 2.3 billion in 3 years 4 months. But then I Catzan Jan 20, 23:06

Gipsy, you have to choose your style of trading. Are you a long termer or a day trader. Day trading is hard. You really should check into Catzan Jan 20, 23:16

I agree that day trading could be more profitable but I don't believe in spending 2-3 hours of my precious day playing HSX. Again it's my amitkinger Jan 21, 00:14

You can actually whittle the time spent to an hour to an hour and a half...which is still too much if there isn't a good reason to hang out Catzan Jan 21, 00:53

At the bottom of the page, there are links to the Help Section, which has pages on What is HSX, Help Topics, FAQ and Glossary {nm} RogerMore Jan 20, 08:29

Still this isn't helpful, can't understand anything, when to buy/sell? how much to buy/sell? {nm} Gipsy Jan 20, 16:49

Buy when you think the price will go up. Sell when you think it will drop. RogerMore Jan 20, 19:37

besides what rogermore suggests, here is some extremely long, hopefully readable, advice.... islander Jan 20, 19:49

Is there a way to place a limit order to sell if a Moviestock falls to a certain price? {nm} bennyboy10 Jan 15, 08:23

no, limit orders are 'at a certain price or better', meaning if a stock is trading at 50 and you enter a limit at 45, you will sell it ndmaster Jan 15, 09:02

HSX does not allow traders to have 'stop loss' orders, you can only use limit orders to make profits - NOT prevent losses. {nm} Flash Jan 17, 17:39

if i short a nomoption or holiday warrent and it cashes out at zero, what will my gain be if any {nm} whoa_its_mike Jan 15, 02:38

It'll be just like if you were holding a movie short that got delisted at zero. You will profit. {nm} lolcat Jan 15, 07:21

You will gain the difference between what you paid and the delist price, in this case zero. However, your cash "gain" mrbinns Jan 15, 07:40
