Playing & Trading Strategy

Does someone know how a release like Endgame typically affects the multipliers of movies opening just before & after it? {nm} forlorne Apr 17, 13:39

huh...I don't think anyone's ever looked into that...that I know of {nm} tealfan Apr 17, 17:25

It doesn't. It has been said on here many times before. ndmaster Apr 17, 17:38

No, I was just thinking of all the screens it will be taking up . {nm} forlorne Apr 18, 06:21

It's more like " "Avengers Endgame is in theaters next week, so I'm not going to see XYZ movie this weekend" {nm} Antibody Apr 18, 09:00

Here's the box office chart for STAR7's opening weekend RogerMore Apr 18, 09:06

AVNG3 doesn't seem to have near the effect I thought it might. Deadpool still had >2X OW, Overboard nearly 3X, Book club >4X forlorne Apr 18, 11:53

I think a lot of the screens AVNG4 and similarly hyped blockbusters would dominate are the premium ones. There are plenty of screens to go RogerMore Apr 18, 12:38

It looks like the big impact is on movies that open the same weekend, which won't apply for AVNG4 TheDowIsUp Apr 18, 12:27

I'd expect them all to have that kind of multiplier because of the time of year they are released, with or without a Star Wars movie. RogerMore Apr 18, 13:01

Thank you for your insights and data {nm} forlorne Apr 22, 08:19

The biggest impact could be on the weekend box office the week tickets go on sale... Silverblue76 Apr 19, 12:02

ERC: In the wake of AVNG4: ...outside of Disney, rival studios' films in the Top 10 dropped an average of -68% this weekend. tatoufan Apr 29, 10:37

I am back. I just check my hsx porfolio. I am worth 4 billion dollars {nm} mike255 Apr 11, 09:08

any news on when the new BONDS fund lists? it's been a little while .. pacrat Apr 10, 08:10

Soon Grasshopper....between family illness and trips that involve Europe and perhaps no HSX, we are on hold. {nm} BONDS xXx Apr 10, 20:14

Live long and prosper, Mr. Bonds.. :-) {nm} Flash Apr 11, 09:43

For my birthday I'm paintballing a bullseye on the back of my next target! DTravel Apr 06, 21:46

"I know what it’s like to lose. To feel so desperately that you’re right, yet to fail nonetheless. Dread it. Run from it... tatoufan Apr 10, 05:03

Hmmmm, can I pass Neilthor AND tatoufan at the same time? Find out next week! Same HSX time, same HSX channel! DTravel Apr 10, 13:19

Plenty of good days ahead, Cheers! {nm} tatoufan Apr 10, 18:15

Passed one of you yesterday. {nm} DTravel Apr 11, 12:12

Endgame .OW set at H$255. That's pretty spicy stuff right there {nm} MattW Apr 01, 18:13

Bumped up to 260 today {nm} MattW Apr 02, 17:00

What difference is 5 bucks going to make on 255? {nm} GruntNoNeck Apr 03, 10:34

1.96078431373% {nm} ndmaster Apr 03, 21:20

Only 11 decimal places? {nm} GruntNoNeck Apr 04, 08:44

That's as far as my calculator on my computer went...I thought it was pretty decent. {nm} ndmaster Apr 05, 16:25

Must use a MAC. {nm} GruntNoNeck Apr 06, 14:48

checked in after several year absence...turns out I bought SHAZM at 41 cents! {nm} forlorne Apr 01, 11:24

On the other hand, I shorted Brie Larson at $41... {nm} forlorne Apr 01, 11:26

I bought it at $4.78. I'm a very happy player right now. {nm} JonaBurns Apr 05, 08:48

I got it for a nickel! Easily the best purchase I've made here. {nm} thoughtbubble Apr 12, 07:06

Been gone for a while, why can't I see the history graphs for, well, anything? Decoman Mar 27, 07:34

close...need to enable Flash :) {nm} tealfan Mar 27, 09:19

Yep, that did it. You rock. {nm} Decoman Mar 28, 08:05

I'm enabled!! :-) {nm} Flash Mar 28, 09:08

we're all Flash's enablers {nm} tealfan Mar 28, 09:30

Except me, I don't want him catching up. {nm} DTravel Mar 28, 12:18

Slow down. :-) {nm} Flash Mar 29, 08:38

I have this this week. {nm} DTravel Mar 29, 13:37

Take the next year or so off... :-) {nm} Flash Mar 30, 12:47

Don't fire Danielle Panabaker. {nm} DTravel Apr 02, 12:18

Crush?? :-) {nm} Flash Apr 03, 09:05

Easier on my eyes than Candace Patton. :) {nm} DTravel Apr 03, 12:42

I miss Patty. {nm} RazorHawk Apr 04, 16:31

HSX going mobile? fwerner Mar 26, 13:18

The first person who starts singing 'On The Road Again' gets whacked!! DTravel Mar 26, 15:12

LOL {nm} fwerner Mar 27, 13:42

An app would be excellent, I think to NOT have this available on mobile in 2019 hurts the game overall. [nm] Decoman Mar 27, 07:31

Fixing the "reset rocketeer" problem seems more important than developing an app, although app wouldn't hurt {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Mar 27, 10:33

Absolutely! Never saw any mention of the topic or request in these forums though {nm} fwerner Mar 27, 13:45

I've seen it asked about a few times over the years. Doesn't appear there are any plans for it though. {nm} DTravel Mar 27, 16:12

*Taps Moviesnob on the shoulder* Excuse me. Hi, coming thru. DTravel Mar 22, 11:46

<gets out of the way> {nm} Moviesnob Mar 22, 13:27

Ha! Okay, that's a response I wasn't expecting. :P {nm} DTravel Mar 22, 13:32

I liquidated my port and havent traded in 4 years :-P {nm} Moviesnob Mar 22, 20:00

Spoilsport. {nm} DTravel Mar 22, 20:17

Slow down. Speed trap ahead! {nm} Catzan Mar 30, 14:03

Onward and upward! {nm} Flash Mar 22, 09:53

Keep on keepin' on. {nm} GruntNoNeck Mar 23, 17:28

Big Spring jump today Seattlezoid Mar 20, 19:25

The Green Bird of HSX Happiness? {nm} DTravel Mar 20, 20:30

Actually, I'm in the red today...so much for the spring "bump." :-) {nm} Flash Mar 21, 13:22

That's just your port matching the color of your suit. :D {nm} DTravel Mar 21, 16:46

Hmm...hadn't thought of that one! :-) {nm} Flash Mar 22, 09:52

A broad, across the board sell-off today. Why? berndog62 Mar 22, 12:23

People jumping on the band wagon that reset traders started plus the usual slow bleeders. {nm} DTravel Mar 22, 16:33

How proficient are you at the game? What is your strategy? ndmaster Mar 17, 21:32

I started off years ago buying every superhero movie stock when they were all cheap Catface Mar 19, 14:30

Congrats on the Milestone {nm} Randy Mar 13, 11:33

I do that too! {nm} tealfan Mar 14, 12:13

on several occasions, when i've had a particularly good day (such as really good star bond adjusts), I've saved screenshots {nm} pacrat Mar 16, 16:42

You have my favorite username on HSX. {nm} ndmaster Mar 13, 20:12

Thank you, ndmaster {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Mar 17, 13:27

This one, not so much. ndmaster Mar 17, 21:34

Playing Philosophy. MitchC Mar 08, 10:54

If you are a billionaire its go big or go home. Buy max of the best investment, then the next best, repeat until out of money. {nm} DTravel Mar 08, 15:08

My philosophy ndmaster Mar 08, 20:02

I read this on the board a few months ago. Short what you just sold and buy what you just covered. Do it to the "max" GruntNoNeck Mar 09, 09:24

I always max on everything I buy (or short)...it's only play money and nothing worse than owning 10K shares of a blockbuster! {nm} Flash Mar 10, 05:18

I max, either way, if I want to invest, and I radar if I just want to keep an eye for later decision... {nm} Lukasck Mar 12, 13:01

Started May 29 2018, just crossed the $20M mark! Not sure if that's good or slow. :) {nm} bluefishbaker Mar 07, 08:07

It's a game we play for fun and in our own time. Don't make it a competition. Doing Great!! {nm} chipshot Mar 07, 08:29

sounds good to me {nm} daveart Mar 07, 08:46

just enjoy the milestones whenever they may come...congrats! {nm} tealfan Mar 07, 09:12

It's now part of my morning getting-into-work routine. I love it. {nm} bluefishbaker Mar 07, 11:44

Congrats {nm} cj19 Mar 07, 19:19

You really compete against yourself...everyone has different times to play, so keep up your efforts!! {nm} Flash Mar 08, 05:01

Nice. I bet you get to 40m in less than half the time. MattW Mar 10, 20:02

BONDS has crossed the line over 100 in just over 5 months and is ready to delist... Buy BONDS xXx Mar 05, 20:19

congrats {nm} oneman Mar 05, 20:51

It is so much easier to earn the same ROR with small ports. Duh NVT_vs_bonds Mar 05, 23:19

At the start there is a lot of low hanging fruit. As you go along, the DROi goes lower. Also, as you have more H$, more choices. Buy BONDS xXx Mar 06, 05:59

THANK? {nm} psisson Mar 06, 12:17

Thank You, MR. BINNS! Once Again You Have Managed BONDS To A Fast And Very Successful Conclusion. kibitzer Mar 06, 10:01

How can you people keep investing in a Fund that loses 80% of its value every few months!!???!? DTravel Mar 06, 10:51

Lol! We must be bad investors... {nm} Lukasck Mar 07, 15:25

Well done, sir. Thanks! {nm} tatoufan Mar 06, 16:21

Thanks for your work on the fund {nm} cj19 Mar 07, 19:19

Really appreciate the free H$ and hard work on your part !! {nm} Flash Mar 08, 05:02

Why is it that there are no Starbonds attached to BRDBX? {nm} rickmonday Mar 03, 11:29

If a movie doesn't report box office, its starbonds are detached and will not adjust after the moviestock delists. BRDBX hasn't reported BO RogerMore Mar 03, 11:42

Maybe they're attached, but no one who sees them survives? {nm} DTXbro Mar 04, 09:22

:-) {nm} PhoneHome Mar 05, 11:23

Thanks. Good one bro! {nm} rickmonday Mar 05, 18:44

Shorting CMARV - "Get woke, go broke" is real. kswheels Feb 28, 10:33

Well said oh great and wise trader who holds only one security. {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 28, 10:48

LOLs {nm} chipshot Feb 28, 11:46

Especially that he's been playing since 2006... and has a 3M port... (millions, not billions...) {nm} Lukasck Mar 01, 07:29

he used to have a really big account.... but he shorted Wonder Woman. {nm} RazorHawk Mar 01, 09:56

Hollywood has yet to go broke by pissing off Nerds. {nm} DTravel Feb 28, 15:37

Shorter: 'Comic book moviegoers are stale-thinking vestigial bigots running against the grain of modern America.' We're not persuaded. {nm} DTXbro Mar 03, 11:11

What's your disappointment level, under 100m? I say 95% chance it goes over that. MattW Mar 03, 16:02

I am more concerned with week 2 falloff. Would be fine with H$100m and a week 2 crash. (nm) kswheels Mar 03, 19:48

Thor3 had a 2.5 total multiplier. Combined with today's tracking of 125+ we're looking at 300 total dom on the lower end MattW Mar 05, 09:58

140 or more OW * 2.3 or better delist multi = 322. MattW Mar 06, 20:42

My only regret is shorting so soon. $90M opening $225M or less after a month. (NT) {nm} kswheels Mar 07, 09:27

349.4-352.8 on 4th Sunday guess {nm} MattW Mar 26, 16:30

HSX Port for Sale!!! Presidents Day special $74.99 momentum858 Feb 18, 11:08

Ebay may be a better route. ndmaster Feb 18, 14:52

I remember there was a time way back when that you could sell back your port for $1 per million. That was 20 years ago. HSX also had prizes. {nm} chipshot Feb 20, 07:20

You could also purchase HSX swag. {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 20, 08:27

like this... RazorHawk Feb 20, 09:51

nice. I lost all mine in the many moves. Bring back the swag!! {nm} chipshot Feb 20, 10:34
