Playing & Trading Strategy

If I win Classic Cash and tell everybody on the board which poster I chose, will everybody be able to go there and win? {nm} BuenaOnda Sep 26, 15:52

No. {nm} grammar Sep 26, 19:09

Winning cold cash is completely random.... {nm} Flash Sep 27, 07:16

Commission Free Gone then So Am I ChiTownDale Sep 26, 12:58

I guess the fun for you was in free H$. :) {nm} shahnon Sep 26, 13:02

No - It was in the trading. But the Free Commish allowed for adjusting a huge portfolio once in a while. - ChiTownDale Sep 26, 13:43

I have all that and more...then again I have 3B in cash and do not really have where to put it. Yes, I would like to save the commission StarBondFund Sep 26, 14:01

I too have a large port... Flash Sep 26, 15:17

I basically agree with most of your points but my port is only 176M so I will have to stay to move trough the ranks. Guillo Sep 26, 16:03

Don't go - I'll miss you on my Trader Watchlist. And I don't want Catzan to pass you so easily. {nm} BuenaOnda Sep 26, 15:47

Oh, that's right - Catzan and secretstalker already passed you. {nm} BuenaOnda Sep 26, 15:50

Have a look at PortMonkey (link inside). This makes trading easy and has a lot of neat features. Once a stock has dropped dramatically, it mysti hsx Sep 26, 19:20

Whoa .. I miss-read the 2B for 2M. Why the need to free up cash? {nm} mysti hsx Sep 26, 19:25

i agree. it will make ppl less inclined to trade, which means less activity, which will lead to less interest, traffic, etc. bad move. {nm} java030 Sep 27, 02:56

How do i play a tv stock that is cancelled? i.e. Beautiful Life? kensanity Sep 26, 06:09

depends on how many air. sneak Sep 26, 06:32

During slow times, like Xmas Week, Thanksgiving, etc, networks burn off paid for, unaired episodes.... StarBondFund Sep 26, 07:05

Only 2 episodes were shot. It was canceled during the filming of its third episode. {nm} Perfection Sep 26, 09:49

If that is the case, it will be delisted this coming week...check the Calendar. {nm} StarBondFund Sep 26, 10:54

They were in the middle of filming their SEVENTH episode, not third. So there are potentially 4 other eps that may be burned off remrej Sep 26, 11:26

Oh really? Must've been misinformed. Good to know it has some potential then {nm} Perfection Sep 26, 11:56

Movie tip: PNDRM this weeked, Movie Stock vs. CX derivatives! r_x_j Sep 25, 10:10

Good strategy but to be clear HSX Support Sep 25, 11:17

Have the rules changed with the new HSX. regarding the posting of how we're trading? {nm} MojaveMeg Sep 25, 14:41

No rule change HSX Support Sep 25, 15:19

Ok, thanks. And thanks for the larger font :) {nm} MojaveMeg Sep 25, 16:29

You're welcome and you got about the font size... at the rate I'm going, I'll need 24pt and larger for me to read anything! {nm} HSX Support Sep 25, 16:53

I think with the CX deriv. being so knew any type of trading strategy is useful, I hope it will not be used as a call to action damenchipguy Sep 25, 19:09

Welcome to real world betting......What has been mentioned is called getting a "middle"...ie if the Giants are favored by 4 at StarBondFund Sep 26, 06:42

That was Giants minus 2 but you get the idea. {nm} StarBondFund Sep 26, 06:43

That is a language I understand, check this link out and see if you can guess who I am damenchipguy Sep 26, 09:40

ok ok {nm} damenchipguy Sep 26, 10:35

great post and makes it clear the difference between Hsx and cantor sneak Sep 26, 07:03

Why does it take so long to update my port when I make a trade? - will that ever be addressed? {nm} pduncan67 Sep 25, 05:53

Not counting yesterday's meltdown, I wonder if overall trading volume has dropped since they announced the end of commish-free trading? HuskyMiller Sep 25, 04:57

On the cantor exchange, what happens with the price of the cantorstock when a film is suddenly STV / has no theatrical release ? {nm} JMT Sep 24, 23:34

( mmm not a very fast board, is it ) and when you happen to hold that stock short, will they really pay out ??? {nm} JMT Sep 25, 02:48

Straight to Video - what happens? HSX Support Sep 25, 10:25

Support - any chance you can use a larger font? These old eyes really have a problem with your posts :/ {nm} MojaveMeg Sep 25, 14:40

I agree Meg. I keep asking for a larger default font but it doesn't happen. So, those with old eyes can hold a magnifying glass up to the grammar Sep 26, 19:38

Ok so work without hsx sucks evwarsh Sep 24, 14:02

Can someone explain Yest Gain and League Gain computations and what they mean specifically? {nm} HollywoodTycoon61 Sep 24, 12:08

TY Antibody! {nm} HollywoodTycoon61 Sep 27, 20:31

Are blockbuster warrants or something similar available at other times than summer? {nm} Egon Sep 24, 07:19

We generally get holiday BWs. Probably see them sometime in October before the first of the holiday blockbusters release. {nm} MojaveMeg Sep 24, 08:04
