Playing & Trading Strategy

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

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

Congratulations and Many Thanks to 'shelliwood' Who Guided BRITS FUND to a Dlisting 03-11-20 @ $100.39! {nm} kibitzer Mar 12, 10:16

congrats {nm} oneman Mar 12, 10:37

Thanks, made it in just under a year {nm} shelliwood Mar 12, 11:23

Thanks for the free H$...one of the bright spots in my port today! :-) {nm} Flash Mar 12, 14:33

Portoilo Tanking. MitchC Mar 12, 06:13

Movies opening in the coming two or three months may suffer the hardest... fwerner Mar 12, 07:29

Yep, it’s definitely because of that. I’m down 7 million just today. {nm} Randy Mar 12, 08:42

You can also change your holdings and profit from recent movements. {nm} Antibody Mar 12, 10:24

Thanks. Port continuing to tank. Down 8 million just today, 14-15 mil for the montn so far {nm} MitchC Mar 12, 10:51

I just hit a number I've never even come close to. Down 10 million in one day and going down. {nm} MitchC Mar 12, 11:27

Everyone must be tanking... JoshuaL Mar 12, 14:12

Ha Ha, small blessings! (rank rise). {nm} lagunacat Mar 12, 16:59

Lost 41m yesterday, LOL.. 9m from flipping.. 1.063b from 1.120b in a bloodbath of a week.. {nm} Mic_Lapwood Mar 13, 00:42

Prices move based on Trades TODAY, not shares held (and traded yesterday). No need to tag a stock when asking a question. {nm} Antibody Mar 06, 09:56

Regarding my perfectly appropriate question that was removed for some reason? Wes B. Mar 06, 10:03

The only way to remove the tag is to delete the post, sorry. It says how you can tag, but unfortunately not "when" to tag. Antibody Mar 06, 10:20

Why did the Disney fund tank nearly 6 percent in a single session? THIS is an example of how the non-HSX billionaires cannot get ahead. {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Mar 05, 13:08

The fund manager drank a Corona beer and got a virus. {nm} DTravel Mar 05, 16:02

My guess is the possiblity of the COVID-19 outbreak impacting release dates and box office reciepts. Wellespring Mar 05, 16:03

The bullish case against shorting on HSX {Please read...} NeilSite_VanThomas Mar 05, 17:29

Conspiracy theory now that's some out there material to add to the stand-up routine. {nm} hotsambatcho Mar 05, 19:22

The money quote, inside ndmaster Mar 05, 21:15

There are a lot of problems with your "theory" DTravel Mar 05, 21:55

While some of your comments are fine...players with large ports can't do 'much' damage to others... Flash Mar 06, 11:47

So you rail against the billionaires who run the funds that provide your biggest gains. OK then maybe the tinfoil hat is a little too tight. {nm} AJRimmer Mar 11, 04:52

Would it surprise you that just like in 2016 I am rooting for Bernie Sanders?! HSX should redistribute the wealth of its billionaires. {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Mar 11, 08:10

Yes it does as he is that would be the smart choice. {nm} AJRimmer Mar 11, 08:34

Really? You come off as more of as Trump supporter spouting conspiracy thoeries. {nm} hotsambatcho Mar 11, 08:42

Holding MULN and ONWRD the wrong way would do that. {nm} Antibody Mar 06, 09:55

You are not supposed to [tag--] movies in a post like this. Try again {nm} Buy StarBond 32 Feb 24, 19:42

Does anyone know what happened to that site "theun4gven", that showed daily intraday HSX stock movements? {nm} tomcat90 Feb 15, 14:50

I dunno, but appears to be dead. Sad... {nm} ndmaster Feb 15, 19:39

KaiGee.com still has that same info {nm} KaiGee Feb 16, 06:47

We depend on KaiGee for so much. Thank you. {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 16, 07:31

ditto! Thanks KaiGee. We don't say thanks enough! {nm} Neilthor Feb 16, 15:45

tritto! Thanks KaiGee! {nm} ndmaster Feb 16, 21:13

I think it is something that downloads with Tampermonkey and edzep was involved somehow. Unfortunately, he has retired. {nm} baconmaker Feb 17, 12:53

un4given.... RazorHawk Feb 18, 08:05

20 years of HSX, down the drain . . . might as well have joined the goddamned Peace Corps! (But seriously . . . SenJohnBlutarsky Feb 18, 08:58

I've considered adding some very basic pages similar to what un4given had. It wouldn't take much work. {nm} KaiGee Feb 19, 04:48

If there is a hosting charge or something similar, Delta House will contribute {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Feb 19, 12:12

There was another HSXer that used to discuss screenings, etc. at Delta House. Is that individual gone? Are you acquaintances? {nm} PhoneHome Feb 19, 10:51

Delta House changed name from DTXbro to SenJohnBlutarsky a year or so ago. Same bunch of losers.Thanks for asking. {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Feb 19, 12:11

Thanks, just curiosity - I get the Animal House reference, but in this case who does Delta House represent - a group of friends, a family? PhoneHome Feb 19, 12:36

Just one person who recognizes that Animal House is and likely always will be the greatest achievement in American cinema SenJohnBlutarsky Feb 20, 00:55

Thanks. That's amazing! I need to revisit Animal House. I was a one-timer, but I was "thrifty". {nm} PhoneHome Feb 20, 17:40

Back then, it was something like $1.50 for the early showings. {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Feb 20, 18:11

Try this out... KaiGee Feb 19, 19:43

That is great! How can we reach you to address your hosting expenses? SenJohnBlutarsky Feb 20, 08:15

Thanks for the offer... KaiGee Feb 20, 08:48

This is great KaiGee! {nm} PhoneHome Feb 20, 17:41

Will someone explain to me the reason behind buying both the Put and Call? {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 12, 18:45

I do it when they IPO b/c they both usually go up. then i'll change one the other way later..... unless i forget like i did with Sonic haha {nm} NOLEAFCLOVR Feb 12, 18:51

If you think the strike is fair, but not sure if it will over or underperform. {nm} ndmaster Feb 13, 14:13

If you buy and that's the wrong play your downside is limited to H$2 per share. MattW Feb 13, 17:21

So if you buy both and the spread is more than $2 either way, your are assured of a profit. {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 14, 10:50

Has to be more than $4 to cover whichever one cashes out at 0. {nm} ndmaster Feb 14, 14:33

Yep, my calcs were 100% off. Thanks. {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 14, 17:48

Even if the "winning" CA/PU doesn't reach $4, it still partially offsets the losses from the other. {nm} DTravel Feb 16, 10:45

Congratulations and Many Thanks to 'oneman' Who Guided the LGBTQ Fund to a Dlisting Today @ $100.65! {nm} kibitzer Feb 11, 13:14

Shouldn't they be "one-identifies-as-person" given the fund's theme? :P {nm} DTravel Feb 11, 14:42

I identify as an asparagus. Mic_Lapwood Feb 12, 05:19
