Well...this is helpful when figuring your profit for star bonds... Flash Sep 19, 10:09

You're welcome. {nm} Flash Sep 20, 11:55

where does it tell you DROI? {nm} Smallville944 Sep 20, 14:47

HSX doesn't tell you, but Project Genome does (link) tealfan Sep 20, 14:55

If you ever want to calculate it yourself... Perfection Sep 20, 21:20

you know on your credit card statement, you are charged interest based on your rate, say 15.25% which is accrude or charged to you on your zeitgeist Sep 21, 19:26

what happens when a delisted stock comes back almcan Sep 17, 21:48

The Movie I was refering to was almcan Feb 12, 21:55

When a stock delists, you receive the cash value for the stock at the time it delists. Should it become active again... SocioEvo Sep 17, 22:11

Correct. You will need to repurchase it when it re-IPOs. {nm} remrej Sep 18, 06:46

Hopefully you had it short when it delisted. Watch for those that change to "Concept" {nm} StarBondFund Sep 22, 13:24

New HSX site with tips Hendr290 Sep 16, 20:35

I like it!...direct links to the stocks would be nice if feasible {nm} tealfan Sep 16, 21:01

Nice one! {nm} leegend Sep 17, 17:34

I'm glad...I keep posting so that you'll keep coming. {nm} Hendr290 Sep 20, 14:56

Love the site! Good explanations, what do you think of [ZQUIN] ? {nm} Sabarth Sep 23, 04:54

ZQUIN Hendr290 Sep 28, 20:35

Did not see it on the site or here :( {nm} Sabarth Oct 05, 05:04

Now on Twitter Hendr290 Sep 28, 13:24

Probably should not link b/c I like to win, but every trader should be entering this weekly contest! damenchipguy Sep 16, 14:53

dammit....US residents only!! *grumble* {nm} nazwar Sep 18, 14:24

$600k of losses today, but no red ink... how is that possible? {nm} john Sep 16, 12:38

Today's changes are red. Net gains are reduced cause you didn't take profits. Zero down on comm-free days, so you think forward. {nm} wallywarbucks Sep 16, 16:17

how long is each season? Smallville944 Sep 15, 16:05

season start dates are jan 15, may 15 and sept 15 so 4 months boondock islander Sep 15, 16:13

I have been trying to max profit my 69M port, is it a good idea to long hold all funds, I have made 300K in four days? {nm} damenchipguy Sep 15, 13:57

Funds? No. Most funds don't make anything close to a good dROI. boondock islander Sep 15, 15:04

thank you {nm} damenchipguy Sep 16, 09:51

My port is about the same size as yours and I hold only one fund - BONDS :) as I agree with Islander, most are not worth holding. mysti hsx Sep 16, 13:50

WOW, I try and pick up about half that a day, and look for about 2m on the Sunday adjust, I really want to be a fund manager! {nm} damenchipguy Sep 16, 14:54

one hundred MILLION dollars ZBTMafia Sep 15, 12:21

Congrats on the triple digits! {nm} Mattrek Sep 15, 12:37

Nice job, I am hot on your trail, how long did it take to get there? {nm} damenchipguy Sep 15, 13:53

it took me like 6 years....although 3 of which I wasn't playing at all, and another year I didn't know the wonders of weekend openers {nm} ZBTMafia Sep 16, 04:27

I spent 2 years using the-numbers unaware of TT, same as you last 6 months understanding openings and adjust, glory of shorts {nm} damenchipguy Sep 17, 12:03

mini kilometerstone! double startup in 3 weeks yay! kensanity Sep 15, 02:46

Someone called me cool...surely hell has frozen over. Gratz. {nm} SocioEvo Sep 15, 04:11

Good Job! I just hit the $4M mark today as well, took me 38 days, toughbax Sep 16, 18:15

So according to today's move, the market believes Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was under valued by over $10 and expects ... HuskyMiller Sep 14, 19:34

I think knowbody knows anything about 3-D, I do not understand the popularity of old camera tricks but premium ticket value {nm} damenchipguy Sep 14, 19:43

I, personally believe it can hit over 30m. 3D, plus good ads = big bucks no matter the time of year. If Up can do 75 Cloudy can do over 30 {nm} Mattrek Sep 14, 23:55

When a pilot goes under, does the stock automatically delist or do you short it like Blockbuster Warrants? {nm} Egon Sep 14, 18:41

A TV series may delist as soon as it is officially cancelled. {nm} Antibody Sep 15, 10:10

Consider Shortng [GDWIFE] Margulies' last lawyer show only lasted 6 episodes {nm} erehwon Sep 17, 03:33

Where can we see the volume a stock has traded during a certain time... DAYTRADER_2 Sep 14, 06:33

I'm not sure if that feature is still around (I don't use it)...but Flash Sep 14, 08:07

Newbies League tribality Sep 14, 05:30

Was it me or was it just a nice, quietly profitable day on HSX. Not a lot of action or flux. Is this what i can expect on Sunday's... HuskyMiller Sep 13, 20:40

Typically, the fall time is a bit slower market & movie wise...a little tougher to trade... Flash Sep 14, 08:05

Does anyone ever redeem their H$? {nm} damenchipguy Sep 12, 20:03

I don't. Too expensive. {nm} Carlion Sep 13, 06:23

I tried once. My credit card company wouldn't accept the transfer. Their claim was ridiculous. SocioEvo Sep 13, 08:01

I stepped right into those zingers, has anybody ever got the coffee mug, t-shirt ect... {nm} damenchipguy Sep 13, 12:38

I got a nice t-shirt, and HSX included 3 cool pens :) {nm} Chefbobcat Sep 13, 17:43

The pens do look cool. I'll give you that. Do they write well? {nm} Carlion Sep 13, 18:18

I'd say the pens are average, except for the logo, and Chefbobcat Sep 13, 19:06

Mine wasn't meant to zing. I was serious, in that I hate the idea of working that hard for my fake money only to blow a big piece of it on Carlion Sep 13, 18:05

I was serious too. SocioEvo Sep 13, 18:58

the lazer point was cool... RazorHawk Sep 13, 20:55

not really thedudeman2222 Sep 13, 10:01

New idea? Make a mint ONLY with shorts leegend Sep 11, 03:02

The Ampersand has an article on the Short Em All strategy. Interesting read. But in part 2 the writer goes on to say it may not be as Carlion Sep 11, 04:59

i have toyed with the idea of pitching a short only fund to Dmac {nm} ndmaster Sep 11, 11:43

I think it's been pitched before and rejected. But that shouldn't stop you from pitching it yourself. {nm} RogerMore Sep 11, 14:37

I'd like to see that. I'd like to see funds with creative trading strategies, rather than just theme funds. {nm} Carlion Sep 11, 18:03

Theme fund managers have their strategies - they're just less obvious and they depend on the manager's own trading style {nm} RogerMore Sep 12, 05:42

Sure, everyone has their strategy. I'm just saying I'd like to see a fund where the theme "is" the strategy. Carlion Sep 12, 06:34

I thought about trying to short only overpriced stars, but it's too limited {nm} leegend Sep 12, 14:44

I'm thinking more like fund speed profits than winning a YTD race {nm} leegend Sep 11, 15:17

You can certainly make money by shorting stocks, but you didn't say 'what' you were shorting? Flash Sep 11, 08:00

Lets just say that a lot of IPO's drift down, to termially penny stocks, or very low, until real activity such as hiring a Director, Casting StarBondFund Sep 11, 10:10

Oh, I agree about IPO's drifting down Flash Sep 12, 10:26

I'd short anything, but preference is overpriced stars leegend Sep 11, 15:16

In response to your IM, you're missing out then =) Carlion Sep 12, 06:39

I haven't played the IPOs leegend Sep 12, 14:47

Why? Wouldnt you rather make my by shorting stuff AND money by longing stuff? RazorHawk Sep 11, 17:01

Sure, but that's not quite the same challenge... leegend Sep 12, 03:13

Only shorts feels like playing the no pass line in craps, I always want to a movie to exceed expectations, shorting months early; snore damenchipguy Sep 12, 12:06

But on the no pass, sometimes they throw a 12.......there is no hard and fast rule for ANYTHING here....just generalities.... StarBondFund Sep 12, 12:15

True I dont have the port to understand the luxury/burden of a port of that size but working on it everyday;TY learn alot from fund managers {nm} damenchipguy Sep 12, 16:54

I’m trying to learn how to play the new openers... HuskyMiller Sep 10, 23:39

i'm fairly new to this game as well but lemme give u my opinion and you can take it for what its worth. kensanity Sep 11, 00:49

but then again you have a $H50 mil dollar port so I dont know what you need my info for lol. How the hell you get that much w/o openers? {nm} kensanity Sep 11, 01:02

It took me almost two and a half years to make the first 20 of my 50 million so I can use all the help I can get. HuskyMiller Sep 11, 03:33

if 4 day is like labor day, then the multiplier is 2.2 dont ask me why {nm} kensanity Sep 11, 04:43

Here's why the numbers vary. SocioEvo Sep 11, 06:32

If you really believe in your position, you can buy/short funds that reflect your openers, too {nm} Chefbobcat Sep 11, 03:04

Thebest advice I was given is, "I dont know $hit" look at gutchecks and follow HSXtips on twitter follow trend analysis damenchipguy Sep 11, 14:48

East coast trading killing me, no limit orders on sells... john Sep 09, 11:35

there are limit orders RazorHawk Sep 09, 13:01

Stop loss shouldn't be possible. The order will execute right away because the current price is better than 82. {nm} Antibody Sep 09, 13:04

why shouldn't stop loss be possible? i've used it in the "real stock market" {nm} john Sep 09, 16:06

You can only use limit orders to EARN profits, NOT to prevent you from losing money...the reason being Flash Sep 10, 07:31

you guys make some good points. after i posted that "real market" thing, i thought "what if they had trading btwn 6am and 1pm-that'd suck" {nm} john Sep 10, 11:52

Well, usually there are good reasons they do or don't offer a feature...we just don't always know the reasons... {nm} Flash Sep 10, 20:26

Get up earlier, if you want to trade early. Could it be said that West Coast has easier, quicker access to news? {nm} damenchipguy Sep 09, 13:44
