Where To Put $100 Million? MitchC Jun 24, 12:01

Invest in bonds, w guidance from the altruistic seers (KaiGee, bond fund). Short the hundreds of reliably declining movies. Buy funds.{nm} DTXbro Jun 24, 18:00

Short what you just sold. {nm} ndmaster Jun 24, 21:33

better yet ... short it first, then sell it ... that way your sale will help push the price down and benefit your short position {nm} project Aug 13, 17:47

454 days to hit 1 billion with this portfolio, 455 days to get from 1 to 2 billion. MattW Jun 22, 10:38

Summer Pick 7: a family of heroes hits the #4 spot ASAP, and a band of thieves steals into the #5 spot tealfan Jun 18, 18:35

OMG.... I'm in 3rd place. If JURA5 makes it to 2nd place, it could come down to MISS6 vs OCEN4 vvx ANTM2 {nm} Buy BONDS 29 Jun 19, 18:11

NCRD2 has already zoomed passed SWAR2, and what about HTRN3? Both have made over 145 mil. Ocean might not make 100 {nm} JDolphin Jun 20, 13:40

Observations in search of explanations: Shares held, inexplicably. DTXbro Jun 17, 07:29

HSX's math has always been suspect. GruntNoNeck Jun 17, 08:07

We just noticed that the proprietor explained one of the puzzles on June 12: DDIGG was activated prematurely and briefly. {nm} DTXbro Jun 17, 10:50

Where's the shares held on the HSX profile page? {nm} Antibody Jun 18, 10:15

Nevermind, there's a Leaderboard. ;p {nm} Antibody Jun 18, 10:17

Does your own Shares Held match is you add up all the shares in your portfolio? {nm} Antibody Jun 18, 10:21

The African-American Fund (AFRAM) is currently the #21 most widely held fund... out of 22... (#22 IPOed earlier this week) AFRAM The African-American Fund Jun 15, 09:12

just bought. {nm} islndr Jun 15, 09:25

Hard to Understand. With RazorHawk at the Helm, AFRAM is a Very Good Buy! {nm} kibitzer Jun 15, 14:37

It’s a high performing fund, so it delists like clockwork and players have to re-invest regularly. And there are fewer players than before. RogerMore Jun 16, 09:51

There it is. Comparable number of shares held as the starbonds fund which has a similarly short life cycle b/c of good performance. {nm} MattW Jun 16, 23:13

I haven't been keeping track but my gut says it's top 10 for sure, possibly top 5 as far as performance goes. Buy it up peeps. {nm} MattW Jun 15, 16:01

Some stats! Wrath_crfd Jun 15, 20:33

KIDS will delist this week and has always been at the bottom. I've never quite figured that one out. {nm} KidsFund Jun 16, 09:34

Nor have I, the "good" ones are at the bottom. Even the studio funds are listed higher! {nm} GruntNoNeck Jun 17, 07:35

Look at the bright side: Bigotry should be expensive. Just as I am grateful my children get to compete economically with DTXbro Jun 17, 07:16

What am I missing? Why isn't the Avengers Blockbuster Derivative trading in the 40s? {nm} bdilks Jun 04, 05:30

it will cash out right, but until then the price (of all stocks) is based on daily trading activity. most people own it, hence little day to islndr Jun 04, 06:30

Many people don't invest in derivatives and miss out easy money. Some derivatives become over valued but Avengers.BW is an easy win. {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 06, 22:28

What happens when a Star has 2 films adjusting the same week? Do both films hit the TAG at once thus 2 oldest removed the same time? {nm} Fitch3k May 30, 19:14

If a SB has two attached movies delist on the same date, yes, then two other movies are removed from the TAG. DTravel May 30, 20:49

When the time comes that these are the oldest movies in the TAG, which one would get removed first? {nm} parthm_ Jun 04, 07:44

Excellent question. I have not thought of his. {nm} GruntNoNeck Jun 05, 13:47

film with the smaller tag gets dropped first. (its fine to ask, but stuff like this is in the faq section at the bottom of each page) islndr Jun 06, 08:54

my typo, should be: film with the smaller "gross" {nm} islndr Jun 06, 08:55

If you're looking at JESLA and ZQUIN, they won't be double adjusts because ARDVK has reported any box office gross {nm} JDolphin Jun 01, 00:42

ARDVK -hasn't- reported box office {nm} JDolphin Jun 01, 00:43

EFANN! {nm} Antibody Jun 01, 09:19

I think you meant this to be under Fitch's post - because she will be a double adjust (both movies have reported box office) {nm} JDolphin Jun 01, 13:26

I think Fitch knew that but you didn't. {nm} Antibody Jun 01, 13:33

You can read Fitch's mind? You put it under the post about NOT being double adjusts, so without doing research the assumption would be it's {nm} JDolphin Jun 01, 18:02

NOT a double adjust, which is incorrect. Since Fitch doesn't know about double adjusts I wanted to make sure he understood your post {nm} JDolphin Jun 01, 18:03

You're the one making an asumption that Fitch was asking about JESLA and ZQUIN, and not EFANN. {nm} Antibody Jun 04, 09:56

I never made an assumption - that's why I said if. And that doesn't clarify your post just sidesteps it to put the blame on someone else {nm} JDolphin Jun 06, 20:55

Whatever. You're taking it way too personal for pointing out that EFANN is a double adjust. No one asked about non-reporting box offfice. {nm} Antibody Jun 07, 10:02

The As Seen On TV Fund (SEETV) has not made a trade since Sept 2017 {nm} RazorHawk May 29, 19:04

And the Manager of Record Has Not Traded in His Own Portfolio Since December, 2017?? {nm} kibitzer May 30, 08:34

probably a dumb question about delist multipliers, but I want to make sure about the answer... tealfan May 25, 13:02

There's no adjust, so there's no multiplier to be applied. {nm} parthm_ May 25, 15:17

I meant when trying to guesstimate what the delist might be {nm} tealfan May 25, 16:19

I use the 3 day, I find no accurate way to calculate using the all over the place 4th day. {nm} Initech May 25, 18:35

I play with both a little but mostly stick with the 3 day. {nm} MattW May 25, 20:01

thx folks! {nm} tealfan May 26, 00:23

4 day hasn’t a different my multiplier than the 3 day. I think 4 dawa 2.2 answerable 3 daywas 2.7 {nm} imacrazymonkey May 26, 01:34

Wow my phone hates me. 4 day was 2.2 multiplier I think and 3 day was 2.7 {nm} imacrazymonkey May 26, 01:35

thanks but I was talking about delist multipliers, not opening weekend adjust (which we don't have anymore) tealfan May 26, 10:31

The OW Adjust multiplier was to move the stock price to about what its delist price would be. So they are linked. {nm} DTravel May 26, 15:10

I look at what similar movies have done and then apply their multiplier {nm} RogerMore May 26, 18:32

How long will a movie stock trade before being delisted because it was never made {nm} bdilks May 25, 07:26

Antibody has the official answer, but I'm guessing it's a looong wait because sometimes projects get resurrected over & over & over again {nm} tealfan May 25, 09:29

It's something like 4-5 years without any news/updates, but there are exemptions (like for PINK2). {nm} warcraft86 May 25, 10:09

moviestocks become eligible for delist after 3 years of no news/updates or forward movement {nm} RazorHawk May 25, 12:23

That's StarBonds. {nm} Antibody May 29, 13:52

How dare Kaigee have a life outside HSX?! (Especially on Wednesdays.) DTravel May 24, 12:38

Just coming back after a number of years...are commission free weekends still a thing?{nm} bdilks May 23, 13:15

Nope. Those were ended years ago and Adjusts are gone as well now. RazorHawk im sure has actual dates. i cant remember them. {nm} PARAX Fund May 23, 13:33

commission free ended 9/22/09... weekend adjusts ended Thanksgiving 2016 {nm} RazorHawk May 24, 08:32

hmm...is there a "Dates in HSX History" page? =P {nm} tealfan May 23, 15:16

Yes (partial)... RazorHawk May 24, 12:03
