a few thoughts islander Oct 19, 18:19

Read all you can and look for gut-checks before trading halts on openers Friday, islander is a solid poster take the advice and go long! {nm} damenchipguy Oct 19, 21:56

Be sure to read the 'help' and 'glossary' sections. They seem to be well hidden lately, but the links at at the MojaveMeg Oct 19, 18:58

Do NOT buy stocks that are a long way out from release... Flash Oct 20, 07:50

You are doing great so far...I played for about 5 months before I "found" the forums. So to add what islander, MojaveMeg and Flash wrote. Catzan Oct 20, 19:31

Anyone here trading on Cantor? SizeMatters Oct 18, 06:42

RE: SizeMatters Oct 18, 06:45

I'm trading on Cantor with some success, but $1 commission per contract seems really high to me. {nm} avandelay Oct 19, 13:27

No kidding! It would be nice to get some kind of flat fee on each trade regardless of the quantity of contacts. (nm) SizeMatters Oct 19, 17:42

Trading on Cantor too... Somerset Oct 25, 23:13

Question: I have logged in after a long time and was wondering when is the free commission day? {nm} amitkinger Oct 17, 19:32

I have the same question as amitkinger. What happened to free commissions? nm. {nm} edquirk Oct 17, 20:52

There is no more commision free, it used to be from Sat 1300-Sunday 1300. I am not sure when they removed commmision free trading day {nm} samuel1212 Oct 17, 22:21

They thought that it was skewing their data that they sell {nm} KaiGee Oct 18, 14:15

Commission Free was ended for the introduction of the CX Derivatives, which remains active on weekends when box office is reported. {nm} Antibody Oct 19, 11:20

no more free commission day...it's been awhile {nm} tealfan Oct 17, 22:23

my goodness! its been a couple weeks! ndmaster Oct 18, 06:25

"The Trader Watchlist let's you ..."????? C'mon. {nm} BuenaOnda Oct 16, 15:40

Good News/Bad News, spent alot of H$ b/c PC down for a week, but I come back with high speed; good luck all see you next Wed. {nm} damenchipguy Oct 15, 16:33

How will the PNACT adjust on Sunday reflect it's grosses of over $12M so far? (or does it just adjust on Fri-Sun #'s?) {nm} john Oct 15, 13:14

PNACT's page here at HSX lists the gross as $9M+....however... Flash Oct 15, 14:46

Glad I got in full at 4.94, best buy of the year so far for me and it isn't over. {nm} Mattrek Oct 15, 21:15

Oops...NOTE the 'correct' NEW mulitiplier for 'limited' movies than now open 'wide' is now 3.O + Previous Box office! {nm} Flash Oct 16, 07:38

$9M is through Sunday. HSX only uploads the Weekend Box Office, not the weekday Dailies. {nm} Antibody Oct 16, 12:42

even better, they're using Previous plus 3.0 (link) tealfan Oct 15, 15:45

sweet, glad i got in full at $13.45 {nm} john Oct 15, 16:20

That's really strange for a non-holiday weekend. I'd keep an eye out for a correction to that multiplier. {nm} Mojave Oct 15, 23:28

Ooops, sorry. That is a correct multiplier. I'd forgotten about the new mult for limiteds going long. {nm} Mojave Oct 15, 23:42

League Resets - Newbie's League & Canadian Eh? League tribality Oct 13, 08:59

reseting for you worked? I cannot reset my league. {nm} sneak Oct 13, 18:39

It worked for me this morning for the first time ever. {nm} icecreamman Oct 14, 13:58

reset only started working on 13th (i think that is the date) - i was told by developers it was fixed via email {nm} tribality Oct 15, 09:26

Potential High Growth markanthony26 Oct 13, 07:01

But is there any real news? There are lots of cheap MovieStocks that are more likely to delist at zero because they wil never be made. {nm} StarBondFund Oct 13, 13:13

What about Speedy Gonzalez. I remember Mighty Mouse,Speedy Gonzalez &The Atomic Ant from I was a kid. Guillo Oct 13, 13:53

1AM Eastern time. {nm} Flash Oct 14, 07:58

Not any longer.. .it's now at 3AM Eastern {nm} secretstalker Oct 15, 06:34

HOW is this possible? Borat Oct 12, 08:11

Well.....I CAN tell you that Grory (who is #1 on LTD Board) made over $1B in 1 year... Flash Oct 12, 08:43

OCD, was a casual player until I found out how to communicate on the boards now I am addicted; I have made 50M in 6 months; 28M-78M {nm} damenchipguy Oct 12, 15:29

i will say even as a casual player 20-30mm a week is possible sneak Oct 12, 17:07

I'm at 21m in 87 days and I come on maybe once a day to check port. I don't play news either. It's possible to get 100m in 2 or 3 months {nm} Mattrek Oct 12, 19:24

ok............ Borat Oct 12, 09:29

Her "grory" port was a YTD port that she made 1 billion with to start a year. It was nicknamed "fembot" before the change. Last year, I Catzan Oct 12, 12:21

I finally reached the $1 billion milestone. 0618 Oct 11, 16:10

Congrats! I'll save a seat for ya. ;-) {nm} Catzan Oct 11, 17:26

Congrats!!!! Welcome to the club. {nm} icecreamman Oct 11, 21:29

Welcome to the Billionaire's washroom. If you are last to leave, please switch off the lights. :) {nm} shahnon Oct 13, 05:30

Where can we find data on 4 week gross totals for older movies? DavidMR Oct 11, 09:37

There used to be a site that listed the 4 week grosses of older movies, (can't remember the name) but I think it's gone now... Flash Oct 11, 11:49

Try IMDB. www.imdb.com. Find the movie you want, then look down the left sidebar menu for box office figures. {nm} Mojave Oct 11, 12:39

Also check out BoxOfficeMojo.com, they have daily breakdowns {nm} remrej Oct 11, 15:13

Man o man have they forgotten? the-numbers.com has a full archive. While it does not break out records StarBondFund Oct 12, 07:33

Whoop, There It Is....$10 MM screentest702 Oct 11, 07:28

Kudos to ya... {nm} Flash Oct 11, 11:50

congrats and keep it up! tealfan Oct 11, 12:21

Congrats! {nm} Catzan Oct 11, 22:57

Free trading szakcspet Oct 11, 07:03

No more free trading - it was ended a few weeks ago {nm} RogerMore Oct 11, 07:18

Until the holidays come, I figure this time period is more about what you don't play than what you do. Just sharing. {nm} john Oct 11, 00:07

Typically a lot of stocks decrease in price over this period. There can be a lot of money in shorting overpriced stocks {nm} RogerMore Oct 11, 07:20

Openers still offer one of the best ways to build your port fast... Flash Oct 11, 11:40

Does anyone win Classic Cash? sevensamurai Oct 10, 17:47

Yes, couple of times this week, after a long dry spell. {nm} Mojave Oct 10, 19:13

I won it a couple of days ago...don't win very often tho. {nm} Catzan Oct 10, 23:14

I have played everyday snce the return, I pick the same tile far right everytime and I have never won! Theory I should hit 1 a week/ {nm} damenchipguy Oct 11, 09:57

Once every 4 or 5 days usually. {nm} Mattrek Oct 11, 13:18

Just won today! tribality Oct 12, 18:42

Never! I've played 20-30 times, always picking the far left, and never won. {nm} lacduflam Jun 16, 16:49

I won yesterday for the first time in easily 100 tries {nm} y2biz Aug 05, 13:08

i notice every once in a while that because my firefox loads it slow, the winner pops up first or last, cant remember which {nm} lostkey82 May 19, 17:48

have only one once. have played 200 times Tjgermain Apr 11, 19:58

damen, that theory is non-existent. Every day is an independent pick that isn't affected by the previous day's choice. {nm} SocioEvo Oct 12, 04:02

I did should have said my strategy; I am familiar with random number generation; just surprised I have not picked one yet :( {nm} damenchipguy Oct 12, 15:31

observations Dee1 Oct 10, 12:14

I have an IT person that knows my passwords, outside of her there is nobody that knows my access #s, but somebody posted with my name?! damenchipguy Oct 10, 17:07

fairly certain that HSX does not generate passwords, you create your own when you sign up {nm} remrej Oct 10, 17:47

I am 100% positive that HSX creates passwords on new accounts (old version) I helped at least 20 new traders get started. {nm} damenchipguy Oct 10, 19:23

I believe you are correct. I do not have an HSX-generated password. {nm} grammar Oct 10, 20:11

My first password was given by HSX 3 years ago, but I signed up a new trader tonight and he was allowed to choose his password. damenchipguy Oct 10, 23:31

I remember setting my own password 9+ years ago when I signed up - I was irked because there was a 8-char limit, and the pwd I wanted was 9 {nm} remrej Oct 11, 07:25

I also generated my own password 10+ years ago, when I signed up..it's been the same, ever since... {nm} Flash Oct 12, 08:45

The first 10 people I signed up was an auto password, I still have them written down b/c I make trades for them time to time! {nm} damenchipguy Oct 11, 10:00

May not want to advertise that you are playing multiple accounts {nm} remrej Oct 11, 10:58

I want to be very clear, I am not playing multiple accounts; I do not cheat and I have never used other accounts for my own benefit! damenchipguy Oct 11, 13:41

damenchipguy: You're intentions mean well, but technically still are using multiple accounts. Even if it's to help others. {nm} Mattrek Oct 11, 14:23

10/11/09 I will not make another trade 4 my friends & family that dont have access 2 PC daily , I dont want to break the rules. {nm} damenchipguy Oct 11, 20:53

I'm sorry DISNX but I have to drop you from my port. It's been a month and you have only cost me H$ icecreamman Oct 09, 21:41

DISNX was re-IPOed a week and two days ago [9 days] {nm} RazorHawk Oct 10, 09:07

One month or one week its all the same to me. It just seems to to that it shouldn't take that long to turn a profit. icecreamman Oct 10, 18:41

A) you could short the fund or B) Buy BONDS but defiintely C) TURN OFF YOUR CAPS ! {nm} StarBondFund Oct 10, 21:25

I like the way you think. {nm} icecreamman Oct 10, 22:45

i don't really play Moviefunds ever there not very good stocks to play they barely movie at all and by the time you pay commission..... Smallville944 Dec 15, 17:04
