Playing & Trading Strategy

*Where* is moviesnob? He (she?) has only ONE security in his (her) port and is still ahead of me at #296 LTD...retire already!! Flash Aug 13, 16:57

Didn't you see his response when I told him to get out of my way? {nm} DTravel Aug 14, 06:30

What? Silence? :-) {nm} Flash Aug 14, 08:15

:P No, he said wasn't actively playing anymore, hasn't been for some time. {nm} DTravel Aug 14, 15:26

Ahhh...well at 'this' level...that's about the only way I'll move up...if someone in front has quit, not trading, etc.! haha! {nm} Flash Aug 14, 15:32

He says to the guy who passed him... how long ago was that again? :D {nm} DTravel Aug 14, 19:31

True story, i shorted THE HUNT out of primal reflex. First trade I had made in year and it was done on autopilot. Moviesnob Aug 14, 20:03

An obscure movie quote comes to mind.... DTravel Aug 15, 15:51

mmm...about 2 days ago. :-) {nm} Flash Aug 15, 07:56

I'm beginning to think of Tuesdays now as (Starbond) "adjust" days...since we no longer have openers adjust... Flash Aug 13, 16:36

Half A Billion Cash, And What To Do With It MitchC Aug 11, 14:23

Starbonds, Funds, Derivatives {nm} DTravel Aug 11, 20:56

The fastest way to spend your cash is go find the sure things that will do well (which I guess is comic book movies these days) and just buy ndmaster Aug 11, 22:15

As your port grows, it will be harder and harder to spend all your cash... Flash Aug 12, 08:22

Spend your cash. Take a chance. Sure you will lose on some investments, but in this game, you will profit more than you lose. GruntNoNeck Aug 12, 09:11

Was July pretty awful for anyone else? MattW Aug 07, 22:39

62 for me...dunno about past years {nm} tealfan Aug 08, 07:58

+181 in July, roughly the same as last year {nm} Nobody Aug 08, 09:14

63.4 this year. My tracking doesn't go back any farther. {nm} GruntNoNeck Aug 08, 10:36

Anyone Have a Pet Strategy On Bonds? Coachv Aug 07, 14:06

The next adjust price for StarBonds can be accurately predicted (inside) Nobody Aug 07, 14:38

That's only true when the next movie has been released. Beyond that, the date, the next movie and its box office are all subject to change. {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 11:07

That's why I used words like "predict" and "estimate". Boy you really have a problem with me {nm} Nobody Aug 09, 01:34

You used the word "accurately". {nm} Antibody Aug 09, 08:51

Only strategy is to figure out how much dROI you want to earn... ndmaster Aug 07, 16:27

Visit my HSX helper site. KaiGee Aug 07, 19:06

+1 {nm} ndmaster Aug 07, 19:54

+17,836 {nm} MattW Aug 07, 22:26

That is a suspiciously specific number.... {nm} DTravel Aug 08, 11:07

The number of times I've visited kaigee so far :o {nm} MattW Aug 08, 18:25

O_o Obsessive-Compulsive much? DTravel Aug 08, 19:40

on this side of the spectrum you have MattW <-------------------------------------------------> on this side of the spectrum you have laujer {nm} RazorHawk Aug 09, 18:27

Since spectrums like that are usually circular, that must mean MattW and laujer are at least brothers, if not Siamese. {nm} DTravel Aug 09, 21:46

It's a lot of work, keeping this updated...we appreciate your efforts, too! {nm} Flash Aug 08, 07:42

Try to maintain a data base of Star Bonds and their tags. If you are interested my email is available {nm} laujer Aug 08, 08:54

WHy? Why do all that work that has already been automated and done for you? ndmaster Aug 08, 16:17

... because bond sites have poofed in the past when gatekeepers no longer have the time ... BC Aug 09, 19:14

You know the shortcut, right? {nm} ndmaster Aug 10, 13:28

Why is the Disney Studios Fund always so low? ZeroGrowth Aug 05, 07:57

it depends on the manager. sometimes they turn out to be bad at it/or cant put in the needed time. current manager hasnt traded in a week+ {nm} islndr Aug 05, 08:12

And look at the trades he has made. RogerMore Aug 05, 08:33

Also, it kinda stinks when the manager has never posted to the forums before. Not that it’s required, just nicer to know the managers. {nm} islndr Aug 05, 10:04

Yeah! Hi guys and gals! {nm} SEETVFund Aug 05, 11:09

We seeeee you! {nm} GruntNoNeck Aug 05, 11:58

Last years Disney fund was a whiz bang! {nm} GruntNoNeck Aug 05, 09:56

Ticker spr701 Aug 03, 00:54

There is usually a small tab at the bottom left of your screen that says "Hide" or "Show"...click it. It should show up. {nm} Flash Aug 03, 08:58

delisting fund milomak Aug 02, 15:28

A fund cashes out after reaching $100. Investors get the number of shares they own x $100. Eg 10000 x 100 = $1,000,000. tatoufan Aug 02, 15:46

*Studio Funds are an exception to the $100 delist rule. Studio Funds cash out at market price each year in September. {nm} tatoufan Aug 02, 16:00

Another opportunity to boast! What is your current percentage (%) gain on the MovieStocks you own? 45.95% for me. DTravel Aug 01, 10:25

0.54% {nm} ndmaster Aug 01, 11:29

I win. {nm} ndmaster Aug 02, 09:16

For having the lowest? {nm} DTravel Aug 02, 10:47

Nothing long term! Traders like me and islndr are just lazy. {nm} RogerMore Aug 02, 12:47

Of course! {nm} ndmaster Aug 02, 15:13

78.62% {nm} islndr Aug 01, 11:52

54.55% {nm} RogerMore Aug 01, 15:08

44.10% {nm} Flash Aug 01, 16:31

No wonder I'm so far behind RogerMore, islndr and grory! :-) {nm} Flash Aug 01, 16:32

you are way ahead of me in total. my % is high because im barely invested :) islndr Aug 02, 05:14

Almost 58%. However, I'm probably one of the top players in this game at over 1 billion. I've been playing for 10 years and I'm in the 98% {nm} MitchC Aug 10, 13:47

37.33% Been at it 16(!!) years off and on {nm} Jacito Aug 30, 09:31

Hi guys ( and girls )... the game cant be played in holland anymore... but i am in the USA now... so thought i log in {nm} JMT-NL Jul 31, 13:51

jeez... same old people still posting like crazy... hahaha... how y-all doing {nm} JMT-NL Jul 31, 13:52

Wow...you made it back...what happened in Holland?? {nm} Flash Jul 31, 15:12

hsx is banned there. it has to do with the privacylaws on internet. hsx says they are working on it (longer than a year now) {nm} JMT-NL Jul 31, 15:16

Welcome back! {nm} tatoufan Jul 31, 14:15

only for 4 days, i'm sad to say... then its back to holland. But you still got Mike255 :-) {nm} JMT-NL Jul 31, 15:14

Ha! Sounds like you got a dose too. Pocket that memory.... Have a safe trip! {nm} tatoufan Jul 31, 16:02

tnx... leaving tomorrow. take care and enjoy whats left of the game :-) {nm} JMT-NL Aug 02, 13:38

long time no see! {nm} tealfan Jul 31, 15:29

for some reason, I can't see the whole Summer Pick 7 page on my phone...I have an Android phone with Chrome browser...anyone else?... tealfan Jul 31, 09:07

iphone/safari, same, chart cuts off around pick 4.cant scroll it over. always been like that for me, just never said anything. {nm} islndr Jul 31, 09:27

yean I never said anything either since I could always look on my laptop {nm} tealfan Jul 31, 12:17

I'll have to look into that {nm} KaiGee Jul 31, 18:53

if you have time, can you also look into the site being blocked at my work because it thinks it's a gaming site? =P {nm} tealfan Aug 01, 12:29

Not sure, must have gotten flagged by some site filter. Like that time I was blocked in all of Toronto (or some Canadian city). {nm} KaiGee Aug 01, 19:20

no worries...just means I have to work instead...lol {nm} tealfan Aug 02, 12:24

Just logged back in after many years of no activity. Have there been any major changes? Is there still solid trader activity? {nm} dioneta Jul 29, 14:49

I'm dreading going through 300+ Starbond positions lol. Hopefully Kaigee is still around {nm} dioneta Jul 29, 14:53

kaigee is still around... but you probably have figured that out by now :) {nm} pacrat Jul 29, 15:06

I did.... Took me a sec to find everythign again lol {nm} dioneta Jul 29, 15:11

Biggest changes are no more commission free days and no more moviestock adjusts for opening weekend. ndmaster Jul 29, 15:29

No adjust is a big change. Thanks! {nm} dioneta Jul 30, 10:57

..and MISSED sorely! :-) {nm} Flash Jul 30, 11:58

Welcome back! {nm} SEETVFund Jul 30, 04:15

Thx! So much dead weight in the portfolio. lol {nm} dioneta Jul 30, 10:58

when flipping a security, does the order make any difference e.g. if holding long should I short then sell, or sell then short? {nm} forlorne Jul 23, 12:25

nope {nm} KaiGee Jul 23, 12:28

If you got the cash, nope. If you are running low, obviously, closing it out first helps. {nm} ndmaster Jul 23, 19:12

thank you both {nm} forlorne Jul 25, 08:21

So will the new MCU Fantastic Four movie take over FANF2 or will it just be delisted and a new IPO created? How does that work? {nm} thomasisnewhere Jul 20, 19:37

The usual thing would be for FANF2 to be repurposed as "the next Fantastic Four movie" RogerMore Jul 20, 20:49

Interesting. Thanks for the info. :-) {nm} thomasisnewhere Jul 20, 21:08

How long does it take for a movie to delist once it's development has been scrapped? Or does it vary? {nm} Nehjen Jul 18, 07:38

Nothing fixed. {nm} GruntNoNeck Jul 18, 08:32

One of many super secret things that people who trade these securities are not allowed to know {nm} Nobody Jul 18, 09:27

Ah, I see. Thanks! {nm} Nehjen Jul 18, 11:44

The general rule is that movies in development for three years get downgraded to concept, and concept movies generally get delisted at the RogerMore Jul 18, 14:01

Great information and I really appreciate it. Thanks all. {nm} Nehjen Jul 18, 16:04

My semi-annual report hotsambatcho Jul 18, 07:30

Nice work. As a newbie I got to H$50m after 6 months and then H$250m at the year mark, so I think you'll easily hit it. MattW Jul 18, 09:53

agree with MattW... Those are some nice gains since January for only 2-3 times a week! you'll blow past 250M easy! {nm} SEETVFund Jul 18, 13:39

MitchC > NeilSite_VanThomas {nm} RazorHawk Jul 18, 13:25

Pretty much. MattW Jul 18, 16:59

WRONG. As usual, you take aim at me because I don't openly worship HSX billionaires. {More-->} NeilSite_VanThomas Jul 19, 10:40

Edit: it's *not* about just this one starbond {nm} MattW Jul 20, 18:08

And Matt is talking about longs, there are bucks to be made with shorts as well. {nm} GruntNoNeck Jul 20, 18:42

Alright...Thanks for the tip! :) {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Jul 21, 06:32

You just dont get it. I log on once or twice a week, it doesn't a lot of effort. AJRimmer Jul 21, 18:47

I thought you were bragging about overtaking him sometime soon. Has reality finally hit you in the face? {nm} ndmaster Jul 17, 15:54

Considering his profile says he has played for over 11 years calling himself new isn't reality. {nm} AJRimmer Jul 17, 18:44
