Haha. Man this week has been brutal. CalmNRG Mar 21, 09:20

Well, here, get past Tatoufan first. {nm} DTravel Mar 22, 10:25

My Net Worth History looks like Rise of Skywalkers after it's opening weekend :-( {nm} Peakers Mar 19, 15:57

Do something about it! {nm} ndmaster Mar 19, 23:52

It's a good thing mine doesn't show up, lol. :-) {nm} Flash Mar 20, 08:57

I've been shorting everything that's been released and anything still scheduled for April/May {nm} bsbbtnh Mar 20, 20:26

Welcome to the club. My YTD has gone negative for the first time ever... {nm} Alby Mar 21, 03:04

I was told to short most things instead of keeping them. Even after doing that it slowed the plunge. Lost 2 mil today rather than 5 or 10 m {nm} MitchC Mar 21, 13:52

Is there an HSX Resource that provides market graphs Shirtavius Mar 19, 13:20

Not really. I think Kaigee had one for a while, but the market is so fluid with IPOs and delists, it was a bit disjointed. {nm} ndmaster Mar 19, 13:49

Something I Realized. MitchC Mar 19, 10:44

I didn't sell at first.... With movies going directly to VOD, and theaters closing, who knows when this will reverse. {nm} St Blink Mar 19, 11:34

I think what you appear to, and many others don't understand, is that this is a massive re-pricing of this market. ndmaster Mar 19, 13:59

I agree with the shorting lagunacat Mar 19, 17:05

Multiple people have been advising you to flip your holdings in movies that are dropping from long to short. {nm} DTravel Mar 19, 12:02

Yes, it's unwise/stupid to hold Long and Short of the same stock. {nm} Antibody Mar 19, 12:03

Its basically a waste of cash, with a net zero position. ndmaster Mar 19, 13:52

I've lost over 40 mil this week I'm going to check things and begin shorting many things. {nm} MitchC Mar 19, 16:39

My port is about 1/3 yours and I'm up about 40 mil this week. ndmaster Mar 19, 18:14

Okay Many Things I Had Long /Now Flipped To Short. Now We Will See What Happens. {nm} MitchC Mar 19, 17:00

I've shorted many things, finally after days of a nosedive, I made some money today. We'll see what happens. {nm} MitchC Mar 20, 19:22

I just Heard On The News. MitchC Mar 17, 20:47

yes {nm} ndmaster Mar 17, 21:06

What about Canada? {nm} StarBondFund Mar 17, 21:26

Blame Canada! {nm} ndmaster Mar 18, 11:46

Hey, watch it Buddy! {nm} Sorry Mar 18, 21:51

Im not your Buddy, PAL!!! {nm} St Blink Mar 19, 08:27

Sadly, even with reversing many positions, me thinks it may be awhile before my daily change sees GREEN!! lol {nm} Flash Mar 17, 17:26

I've been in the green for the last three days. {nm} DTravel Mar 17, 18:49

Same, 3 days.. Made back 60% what I lost. But best thing of all is im sailing up the rankings more than I dropped. Mic_Lapwood Mar 17, 20:01

I'm with you. All I'm seeing is red, red, red. {nm} Alby Mar 17, 20:29

I've been green the last 2 days , and raised back $12m of a $29m loss. My short position on everything is helping {nm} Shirtavius Mar 17, 21:24

I've been advised to reverse. It may not matter. With all movie theaters in US closed due to Covid. I expect continued decline {nm} MitchC Mar 18, 14:32

None so blind.... {nm} DTravel Mar 18, 17:17

Just look at the Moviestock movers page ndmaster Mar 18, 18:42

AQPL2 Opening Weekend Derivatives Shirtavius Mar 17, 08:13

I would imagine it will be held until release. {nm} Grunt Mar 17, 08:50

16MAR20: RotoHockeyYTD2014 Set a new 2020 ONE-DAY PROFIT RECORD of +38.54 MILL. Same Strategy. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Mar 17, 06:38

That's where my H bucks went! {nm} Grunt Mar 17, 08:51

Have To Ask This.. MitchC Mar 16, 17:16

Have you consider reversing your positions that's losing a lot of money? {nm} Antibody Mar 16, 17:18

Thanks. It would cost me a lot in commissions because I have the maximum of everything, but I can check into that {nm} MitchC Mar 16, 17:24

In a market like the current HSX you would have lost a lot more money not flipping falling securities. DTravel Mar 16, 17:42

You would be making money if you had flipped them all on March 12th. {nm} Antibody Mar 16, 19:03

A **** ton of money {nm} ndmaster Mar 16, 20:48

I can verify this 4LOM Mar 21, 18:13

Believe it or not, I'm trying to be helpful. Here is some (hopefully) helpful advice ndmaster Mar 16, 18:17

Thanks, nd. I see your point. Did not mean to get so caught up {nm} MitchC Mar 16, 18:42

The number of positions to hold is what you are comfortable with. More stocks means more time, risk and potential loss (or gain) {nm} JDolphin Mar 16, 21:15

Oops tha hat was supposed to be under Mitch's 1st post. Don't play someone elses style if your not comfortable with it {nm} JDolphin Mar 16, 21:18

12MAR20: RotoHockeyYTD2014 Set a new 2020 ONE-DAY PROFIT RECORD of +31.46 MILL. Strategy Inside. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Mar 16, 15:18

Damn straight {nm} ndmaster Mar 16, 15:52

My mostly-short portfolio has done very well since last week. Reached highest prrcentile ever. (nm) Patient Player Mar 16, 20:15

Net worth history ndmaster Mar 16, 12:50

If you're in the top 10k, you can see a longer history on my site... KaiGee Mar 16, 14:43

Yeah, using my username grabs both accounts. Looks odd. Haha {nm} ndmaster Mar 16, 15:51

I can't find my username on it. {nm} Mic_Lapwood Mar 17, 09:17

My net worth history is not working at all. Is there any way to activate it. I found it on Kaigees site, but dont have it otherwise. {nm} MitchC Mar 22, 21:19

I wonder how much it would cost me in commissions to sell and then short? Ugh...would take me 5 hours with my port...who has the time? {nm} Flash Mar 16, 12:19

....to sell what I have long. lol {nm} Flash Mar 16, 12:19

Certainly don't have to do it indiscriminately. There are some massively large red flags waving right now. {nm} ndmaster Mar 16, 12:41

Agreed...just seems like sell offs are random as well...except for soon upcoming releases... {nm} Flash Mar 16, 15:08

Federal Reserve Just Cost Me Millions Alby Mar 15, 19:40

$1B Deployed into the Market (Lets Make Some Money) {nm} Alby Mar 15, 19:55

Pretty soon we will heading negative interest rates. We lose money {nm} mike255 Mar 15, 22:18

You better get as much of that cash invested. That's the whole point of low rates. ndmaster Mar 16, 12:46

No Doubt.. I'm working on it.. {nm} Alby Mar 16, 14:08

LOL!! Down H$6,475,089.20 today alone... I think it's time for a HSX no commission day for us all to sell then rebuy all our losers [nm] KLB Mar 14, 16:06

WTF would you re-buy your losers? ndmaster Mar 15, 16:46

I'm down about 29 million this month in 15 days {nm} MitchC Mar 15, 18:35

Do you not know how to enter a short position? Still sitting on 162 positions...jeez. {nm} ndmaster Mar 15, 23:10

Yes. I know how to short a position. I have quite a few of them. The thing is, stocks, etc seem to be going up and down {nm} MitchC Mar 16, 17:11

Consider that brokerage firms have cut trading fees to zero, it would be nice if HSX did the same. {nm} Alby Mar 15, 20:16

Comparisons to the real world make absolutely no sense. {nm} ndmaster Mar 15, 21:51

$29m lost so far but shorting stuff is helping rebuild Shirtavius Mar 16, 09:48

Share Limits candycoloredclown Mar 13, 18:08

As the FAQ says, to prevent the top few traders from dominating and controlling the securities and the game. {nm} DTravel Mar 13, 19:32

But, but, but NVT says the largest portfolios DO dominate and control the game... {nm} ndmaster Mar 14, 00:31

You're right! I do say that! {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Mar 14, 07:25

And that shows your ignorance. {nm} ndmaster Mar 14, 10:59

I was at 1.521 Billion and after the last two weeks i'm at 1.488. Thinking of selling everything. {nm} St Blink Mar 13, 11:53

Why isn't there a sell all button? or a way to select more than one item in your portfolio? St Blink Mar 13, 11:56

The Virus has hurt a lot of Ports. I''ve lost 20 million in a bit over a week, and I'm at 1.4 billion. There should be a sell all button {nm} MitchC Mar 13, 12:08

I have half my port in cash, and I'm trying t o find places to put it but it is hard What will you do with your cash if you sell all? {nm} MitchC Mar 13, 12:09

You have a limited view of what makes a good investment. ndmaster Mar 14, 00:30

Might depend on definition of 'net short;' if it's more shorts than longs, likely true, but if based on value of short or long positions it SenJohnBlutarsky Mar 14, 12:50

"Page Views" {nm} DTravel Mar 13, 16:00

THere is, it is called "reset my portfolio" {nm} ndmaster Mar 14, 00:28

Good try lol {nm} St Blink Mar 16, 14:30

Selling is the WORST possible thing to do when your stock tanks. {nm} paulcrash Mar 16, 04:23

Not in this situation. Again, this is NOT the real stock market, although it is crashing right now, too. {nm} ndmaster Mar 16, 14:33

Feeling your pain, I flipped everything short after I came to a 45m loss the other day, stemming the flow still down 8m today tho lol {nm} Mic_Lapwood Mar 13, 17:57

Down 33 million so far this month, losing on average 1 to 2 million a day. Luckily my port is 1 billion 400 mil but still {nm} MitchC Mar 16, 07:49

Down another $4 million today, and continuing to crash {nm} MitchC Mar 16, 13:18

Do something about it, or stop ****ing! {nm} ndmaster Mar 16, 14:35

DOWN 60 MILLION IN last 2 weeks. {nm} St Blink Mar 18, 10:18

I hope everyone is enjoying their ride on the HSX Rollercoaster (because there are no refunds). :D {nm} DTravel Mar 13, 09:29

Yep...only drops in rankings! haha! {nm} Flash Mar 13, 09:51

My ranking is actually going up! JoshuaL Mar 14, 11:57

Throw some of your H$ at the SNL Fund. I liquidated all holdings and started over. Time to get this fund out of the van down by the river. {nm} SNLFund Mar 12, 21:24

Ahhhh...the panic of players and selloffs with all the news...reminds me of the movie stock meltdown at HSX many years ago. :-) Flash Mar 12, 14:32

Flash I have over a billion dollars. I've only switched a few from long to short, but I lost 15 mil today anyway doing nothing {nm} MitchC Mar 12, 14:59

It just reminds me of the crash here years ago... we couldn't short in those days, either... {nm} Flash Mar 12, 15:33

Was down earlier today, flipped A LOT of MST, and recovered it all as of now. {nm} ndmaster Mar 12, 19:04

You're lucky, ND. I've lost almost 20 million today, although I guess that is small potatoes so to say when my port is over 1 billion. {nm} MitchC Mar 12, 19:09

No, not lucky. Taking advantage of what is happening. You only own 162 securities. I did this with flipping about 8 movie stocks. ndmaster Mar 12, 23:54

I just figured out basically what you own. ndmaster Mar 13, 00:01

My being long on the big budget movies has made me over a billion dollars and put me in the 99% rank, so I'm not doing badly. {nm} MitchC Mar 13, 04:40

My being long on the big budget movies has made me over a billion dollars and put me in the 99% rank, so I'm not doing badly. {nm} MitchC Mar 13, 04:40

"As for "adventurous" I'll see what I can do./ {nm} MitchC Mar 13, 04:41

Down nearly $30m now. Ill just liquidate and wait for COVID-19 to finish. {nm} Shirtavius Mar 13, 07:16

Where To Buy and Make Money? MitchC Mar 12, 11:17

Depending on your certainty about how much a stock will decrease in price... fwerner Mar 12, 12:44

Thanks., {nm} MitchC Mar 12, 13:51
