Monkey Man set a record for me for % increase- >4,000% {nm} terraformingearth Jan 28, 16:24

Delta House up 19,750 percent on one MovieStock today alone -- also, Monkey Man probably was a multiple of that a week or so ago {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Jan 29, 14:11

Over 67000% for me 😉 (bought at 0.02) {nm} Rocket Jan 29, 15:58

soon as I saw wide release it was a buy {nm} unaturalx Jan 30, 02:50

Can we talk about Star Bond Management? goodvibe61 Jan 27, 09:52

I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, Starbonds are long term investments. I do not day trade them at all. Rocket Jan 27, 10:14

PS, I recognize you are higher in the LTD board than I, but my response is not exclusively for you :) {nm} Rocket Jan 27, 10:17

Thanks. Good tips - Particularly like your point about movies still in theaters - tricky for back-to-back TAGs {nm} ballpark_frank Jan 27, 10:57

I made a spreadsheet. DTravel Jan 27, 12:45

I used a spreadsheet when I ran the Oscar Fund. Too much work for me now. {nm} Rocket Jan 27, 15:59

A couple things: I assume you have tons of cash sitting around, why not max every bond? Bond_Port Jan 27, 13:46

Not every Starbond is profitable. Many won't adjust by enough to cover the commissions on the trades. {nm} DTravel Jan 27, 15:32

I meant every bond they hold. Obviously, I didn't mean to take a position in every bond. That was one of my main points of my IM. {nm} Bond_Port Jan 27, 17:22

Sorry, misunderstood. {nm} DTravel Jan 28, 11:12

Also, I mean, Jesus, you are ranked number 15 ALL TIME. Come on... {nm} Bond_Port Jan 27, 13:47

True... but his is an excellent conversation starter. We used to share this Rocket Jan 27, 16:03

Yes; i put this on here to hopefully drive some conversation about it. And while I'm way up there rankings wise.... goodvibe61 Jan 27, 16:41

Personally I will hold based on what the math says. I don't try to chase the daily wobbles and herd movements. Saves a lot on commissions. {nm} DTravel Jan 27, 21:19

Personally, I never jump on that train. Set it and forget it. {nm} Rocket Jan 27, 21:26

For me, the trickiest part of managing star bonds are limited release films that they may be attached to CButera Jan 27, 15:00

I "play through" the zero reported box office movie. Rocket Jan 27, 16:02

I'm with you; the overall change in a star's TAG can really throw you for a loop if you miss it. Keep you hopping for sure. goodvibe61 Jan 27, 18:27

I pretty much wait until a movie opens to take positions in the attached bonds, unless it's something that will obviously.... bchicken Jan 28, 18:06

DESM4 News today was nice for some bonds {nm} ndmaster Jan 28, 21:03

Today is a great example of the complexities of Star Bond Management! Long term is great if you see it. {nm} goodvibe61 Jan 28, 22:35

Did American Dream: The 21 Savage St (AD21S) set a record short time between IPO and delist ballpark_frank Jan 27, 08:41

What is "ROTO"? When I mentioned doubling my portfolio value in 2023 and hoping for the same in 2024, someone recommended investing in ROTO. {nm} Taopuppy Jan 26, 12:12

Roto is the nickname of a controversial and prolifigate poster/player on HSX, fuller name is RotoHockey/RotoHockeyYTD2014. {nm} DTravel Jan 26, 14:19

Did something change with the rank? spudboy2 Jan 24, 17:51

All inactive trader accounts (active=traded in the last 5 years) have been removed from leader boards {nm} Workinman Jan 24, 19:51

Ok, Thank you. {nm} spudboy2 Jan 24, 21:41

…. and here I thought I was kicking ass this past month 😆 {nm} unaturalx Jan 27, 00:17

LOL - I 'leapfrogged' about 50% of the accounts that were ahead of me (yay me!), but my percentile dropped quite a bit (dang it). ballpark_frank Jan 27, 02:14

I was at 98.9 now I’m 91.7. That seems unlikely. {nm} eternal warrior Feb 11, 16:31

That's your percentile, it dropped because there so many less ports. Your rank (as in how many ports are ahead of you) went up for the same DTravel Feb 11, 17:18

Thanks. That makes sense {nm} eternal warrior Feb 12, 11:56

Did I have an HSX dream, or was there an I.S.S. OW warrant? {nm} terraformingearth Jan 24, 07:22

Search for ".OW" {nm} ndmaster Jan 24, 17:55

Thanks, found it, but what's happening with it? It already opened, didn't it? terraformingearth Jan 25, 10:14

There never was an ISS.OW ndmaster Jan 25, 20:44

There was, I shorted it at $3.58, but now it has disappeared. {nm} terraformingearth Jan 26, 07:15

Back again. It's on my portfolio. {nm} terraformingearth Jan 26, 07:33

You're dreaming. You were right in the first place {nm} ndmaster Jan 26, 09:10

FINALLY!!! Hit my first billion. Whew, almost 20 years I've been playing this site. Thanks for all the fun! {nm} El_Queso_Blanco Jan 24, 06:24

Oh, what a feeling! {nm} SirWinstonNewkirk Jan 24, 06:54

congrats {nm} oneman Jan 24, 07:20

Congrats! I'm still at $873m after 21 years (around 6 inactive), so you're doing better than I am. [nm] seastrt Jan 24, 07:47

The first billion is the hardest. Now the earning gets easier! Congrats!!! {nm} fwerner Jan 24, 12:29

Its a bingo! {nm} ndmaster Jan 24, 17:55

TVSrocks {nm} Workinman Jan 23, 12:23

Ugh sorry about above…TVStocks, exactly how long after season finale do they halt, and how long after halt do they delist? {nm} Workinman Jan 23, 12:25

Probably should be asked on the TVStocks board... {nm} ndmaster Jan 23, 14:01

Looks like PDEMP, CHAWK and TPHEN are the big adjusters for this week's SBO adjust. {nm} Rocket Jan 20, 09:35

LSTAN is one to look at now for a future adjust date. {nm} Rocket Jan 20, 09:56

Dune 2 = $200 Calgaryborn Jan 17, 12:52

DUNE 2 Hendr290 Jan 18, 07:10

As mentioned on the Movies board, DUNE opened during the pandemic simultaneously on HNBO MAX. {nm} Antibody Jan 18, 17:47

Hey, folks, don't forget about limit orders ndmaster Jan 16, 21:01

Mads Mikkelsen (MMIKK) Opportunity Hendr290 Jan 16, 14:13

Not bad. But maybe take a look at OBLOO also… {nm} LiteratnStylish Jan 16, 20:57

ANOBU looks like it will delist @ 56.73, current price 53.88 {nm} terraformingearth Jan 16, 07:34

Passed Three Billion Today!!! WHOOOO!!! {nm} JoshuaL Jan 15, 11:57

Manipulation? Most days there is some obscure low priced stock that rises with no news, usually very early in the day, and usually on 1.2- terraformingearth Jan 15, 08:16

Bunch of Nonsense. Completely Void of any Evidence. Everybody can see who Trades Starting at RESET 12:10 AM. Bunch of Nonsense. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 15, 11:08

It is NOT void of evidence. There are 1-2 million trades very early on obscure low cost stocks. Yes, it could be a group not colluding terraformingearth Jan 15, 11:46

** This post has been removed by the forum moderator! ** RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 15, 12:17

Ha ha ha ha. What a devastating argument you present. Spoken like a true uneducated 12 year old. {nm} terraformingearth Jan 15, 12:47

Get an education. Start with standard English, focusing on capitalization. A personality transplant wouldn’t hurt. {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Jan 15, 19:32

If you think that Manipulation has occurred, please present your Evidence, if any, to HSX who can see all the Trades. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 15, 13:07

Help is available at autism.com {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Jan 15, 19:33

Please Stop with the DISABILITY Posts. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 15, 20:19

See rock’em sock’em robots & barney over the past several days. Also, rats aren’t slimy. Get some new terraformingearth Jan 16, 04:10

And appearing To Imitate Trump is not a Good Look. Sad. {nm} terraformingearth Jan 16, 04:12

You may note that the language Roto used in his responses violates the forum rules but he won't be chastised for it.... {nm} DTravel Jan 15, 14:09

Here is what happens SenJohnBlutarsky Jan 15, 19:31

Curious about the timing ballpark_frank Jan 16, 00:30

My guess-& it IS a guess-is that is when the 1st of these traders decides to take their profits & cashes out, terraformingearth Jan 16, 04:02

Deltas have observed that to be the predictable rhythm, without considering the effect of the noon bell (plus we stole the wrong test) {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Jan 16, 15:17

Playing the players is at least as important as playing the box office results or the (relatively rare) important news {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Jan 16, 15:19

Playin' the walleye... reel them in, let out some line... LOL {nm} ballpark_frank Jan 16, 16:15

That is exactly what I was speculating was happening. Don’t know why roto is so offended. I don’t care terraformingearth Jan 16, 03:55

Making a trade at reset is not manipulation. {nm} Antibody Jan 16, 08:33

I meant nothing by it. Use "exploitation", or "gaming". I was just speculating why obscure low priced stocks would briefly rise every day. {nm} terraformingearth Jan 16, 10:09

People don't like being wrongly called cheaters. {nm} Antibody Jan 16, 10:25

Who did that? Did you comment on personally calling someone a dirty slimy rat bastard? {nm} terraformingearth Jan 16, 11:34

Did you see the post has been deleted? {nm} Antibody Jan 18, 17:49

If you haven't noticed, the best traders on here are trend followers. Learn from it. {nm} ndmaster Jan 16, 09:51

Only if you are checking very frequently. If you leave a trending stock alone for 1/2 a day or a day, losses can add up quick. {nm} terraformingearth Jan 16, 10:11

Notice, I said "traders". Obviously, you have to be pretty active to be a trader. ndmaster Jan 19, 21:48

Been watching the 'trades' sites a bit more often - catch an "Real" breaking item now and then. ballpark_frank Jan 16, 16:46

'AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM' (AQUM2) 114.24 Is Deadline Projected (Estimated) To Delist CashOut At 108.80 On Tuesday, January 16, 2024. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 13, 20:33
