hlp pls {nm} cynikill Sep 01, 13:42

We can help if you have a question, or try glacing down the board, many questions have been asked, and you may find your answer already... {nm} Flash Sep 02, 07:38

should be "GLANCING" down the board ^^^^ up there. :-) {nm} Flash Sep 02, 07:39

I like "glacing" better. If you put "chocolate" before it you get "chocolate glacing" and that sounds delicious =) {nm} Carlion Sep 02, 08:01

I think you're hungry...go get an apple. :-) {nm} Flash Sep 03, 07:49

ENGLISH, MOTHERFARKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?!?!!? {nm} Hooray360 Sep 02, 09:01

This is a better question for the Support Board...they did answer you there, the Players Board is mainly to help new players with ?'s..... {nm} Flash Sep 01, 09:44

Yea. I posted here first by mistake. My bad! {nm} SocioEvo Sep 01, 11:09

What's the formula for a 4 day opening?{nm} peregrine888 Aug 31, 19:50

2.2*(4-day). {nm} Jelly Sep 01, 06:39

Can I set a Limit Price on a Short? ie- I have 500 GIJOE that I shorted at H$137, can I set it up to sell below H$128? Limits confuse me. {nm} DamoVision Aug 29, 09:53

Yes, you can set it to *cover* at or below $128. {nm} MojaveMeg Aug 29, 15:28

Thanks. I forgot *cover* shorts not sell. Thanks {nm} DamoVision Aug 29, 16:43

Moviesnob, I am not being snarky really would like to know how to see it cannot seem to find a place to rent/buy! question damenchipguy Aug 27, 18:17

Sorry, talking about original wicker man {nm} damenchipguy Aug 27, 18:20

Google it. You can find in thru some outlet that way. I thought the movie was pretty good. That was back in the early 80's in a repertory Catzan Aug 27, 22:10

Thanks Catzan {nm} damenchipguy Aug 28, 09:25

check the link to amazon here. If you were in LA, I'd just give you a copy Moviesnob Aug 28, 13:03

I do not have netflix, but REDBOX is popular around here, thanks for the link, damenchipguy Aug 28, 15:55

I discovered last year that the library is actually a decent source for movies. Most for free, some for a buck, either way a good deal. Carlion Aug 28, 18:11

That is a great idea, we have a couple of libraries in my town when worked corp. job I use to check out books on CD, this may work! {nm} damenchipguy Aug 29, 06:40

Poll: Any thoughts on [H2] and [FDES4] long or short?? {nm} dc82 Aug 27, 02:10

Follow the trends JohnTEQP Aug 27, 21:43

i've never kensanity Aug 27, 22:43

notfabio is posting Updates for his West Coast theaters on the Movies board. He is saying that H2 is doing better than Final currently. This MIRCatzan Aug 27, 22:51

kensanity, later today, the stock will halt trading, so if you short it, you'll have to wait to see how it does over the weekend. {nm} SocioEvo Aug 28, 09:53

Theoretical Question: you start your account today; what do you do? (specific!) blandestk Aug 26, 15:39

I tend to look for guaranteed (right) shorts and re-short at least weekly commission free. This is a way to build up extra cash. MojaveMeg Aug 26, 16:45

If I started my account today, at 12 noon. I would wait and see what the news holds and invest in those stocks. I would also look at the Catzan Aug 26, 18:11

I'd practice for 6-8 weeks, and reset my port (assuming rookie port). {nm} Chefbobcat Aug 26, 20:53

would i be right to assume kensanity Aug 27, 02:47

depends on how quickly you want to make your money Carlion Aug 27, 07:58

EASY,go buy all Blockbuster Warrants that are ARB there is a post that will tell you exactly what warrant and how much H$ wait for delist! {nm} damenchipguy Aug 27, 18:07

what do you mean by kensanity Aug 27, 18:43

It's all in here, if I can get the linky right... Chefbobcat Aug 27, 19:53

ARB and delist JohnTEQP Aug 27, 21:54

just to confirm kensanity Aug 27, 22:50

NO, go to warrants check out which movie has made more than strike + trade value, BWPRO is an example we are explain brush up on your vocab damenchipguy Aug 28, 09:52

thank you kensanity Aug 28, 17:17

Its cool, I was very new just a few months ago, I thought your question was about the Blockbuster warrants. damenchipguy Aug 29, 08:12

when you play a release, also play it's derivatives {nm} john Aug 30, 11:59

If any one is interested, I have started a theater workers league. It's called the Theater Workers League. If you work in a theater, icecreamman Aug 25, 15:42

I will give you a look, want to be part of rxperienced league so I can learn more, I do some work for The Circle Cinema in Tulsa, OK {nm} damenchipguy Aug 26, 11:01

my spelling sucks rx has very little to do with me {nm} damenchipguy Aug 26, 20:45

Mini-Milestone: Doubled my startup: H$4MM Mark Met. Think I did it in under 90 days but DMAC can verify that... DamoVision Aug 25, 10:16

congrats :-) {nm} Carlion Aug 25, 10:41

Thanks. Reading '4 mos to H$10M' post below, I think 1st two mos wasted figuring out how this worked. Hopefully H$10M by 12/31! {nm} DamoVision Aug 25, 11:02

Actually, he said 100M in 4 months ;-) It's do-able, too. Carlion Aug 25, 18:10

The most fun is when you can lay it all out there have fun and I will see you at 100M ;) {nm} damenchipguy Aug 25, 14:40

HSX GAMERS League, this the place to taunt other leagues and league questions and thoughts? (makes sense...) jgbaxter Aug 25, 09:30

new player - interested in pointers blandestk Aug 24, 20:11

Stocks don't always move because of news/rumors. Check the Movies Board and you will find all sorts of sites linked to for news and tidbits Catzan Aug 24, 21:45

You can check out these Carlion Aug 25, 07:32

If you want to know anything about any movie "the dude" has answers, he is a top H$ earner each week, alot of help for newbies damenchipguy Aug 27, 10:38

Where can I find the 30-60-90 day HSX$ portfolio charts? {nm} Richard In G Aug 24, 16:15

I miss this feature too! It was a great visual way of tracking my progress and want it back PLEASE!!! {nm} jonbush Aug 24, 16:19

New Blog is ready not so much in there for existing traders, for us a thought about the life board. I hope you will tell me what you think! damenchipguy Aug 23, 15:03

DHD Early Friday Estimates: Basterds with 14M! Mattrek Aug 22, 00:36

Wrong board, my mistake. {nm} Mattrek Aug 22, 00:39

only 25K for referring a friend? jedi71 Aug 21, 13:14

also, jedi71 Aug 21, 13:17

just some 2 cents, but isnt the point of playing this game to make money off trades? even if they gave 100k, so what? its easy enough to islander Aug 21, 13:33

I think you're absolutely right, jedi71 Aug 21, 16:38

25k not worth my time, but the more active traders making H$ the more H$ to be made by all, sounds like same argument to reset trading damenchipguy Aug 21, 20:18

25k is low, but if they removed the limit on how many times you get it, not as bad. {nm} jgbaxter Aug 22, 05:09

25k for a referral isn't bad. Should get add 100K if referral signs with HSX {nm} laujer Aug 22, 09:33

Interesting idea is that you get 2% of their port for the first year. The better they do the better you do. {nm} jgbaxter Aug 25, 09:27

It used to be H$100K, years ago. JohnTEQP Aug 23, 18:09

Tell a Friend - invite them to play HSX for a H$25,000 referral bonus. Antibody Aug 21, 12:47

I know about the trader watchlist, how can I find out what others are holding; like league in old version? damenchipguy Aug 20, 15:36

I don't think you can look at ports...maybe you're thinking of funds...you can look at those {nm} tealfan Aug 20, 16:21

When I first started I was teaching people how to play and I could view thier ports my mistake, how does the top make so much H$? {nm} damenchipguy Aug 20, 20:15

We could never look at holdings in other player's portfolios. Only in funds. {nm} remrej Aug 21, 06:16

I think the "operative" word in your post was you could view ports by "mistake"... Flash Aug 21, 07:23

Not an HSX mistake, I would show people how the game was played and I could view their ports MY mistake thought for a sec I could see anyone damenchipguy Aug 21, 14:13

I understand where you're coming from... Flash Aug 22, 08:16

Thanks I really believe that was the coolest response, and nice to see a trader willing to share strategy! {nm} damenchipguy Aug 22, 12:27

Underpriced ?? Already made more than 100 million amanaggarwal Aug 19, 21:48

it's most likely because everyone already has their max shares {nm} tealfan Aug 19, 22:17

hmm in the case of blockbuster warrants, kensanity Sep 02, 15:41
