Fund Performance November 2017 Wrath_crfd Dec 01, 18:01

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids Wrath_crfd Dec 01, 18:13

What can I say, November was WONDErful {nm} KidsFund Dec 02, 06:55

I enjoy seeing these fund performance graphs thanks Wrath {nm} Randy Dec 04, 12:25

Could someone try to explain reasoning underlying massive (2MM) shorting of the Star Wars put (max gain $2/unlimited risk)? Thank you. {nm} DTXbro Dec 01, 06:49

if you think its gonna make more than $230m, why wouldn't you short the put? {nm} lapuckfan Dec 01, 11:20

Because you're also aware that not everyone gets it right every time. {nm} RogerMore Dec 01, 13:04

Functional synapses? {nm} DTXbro Dec 01, 14:17

well if... jaymel Dec 01, 13:11

It also is called daft {nm} DTXbro Dec 02, 09:06

Ok. I tried this before to players with a specific portfolio amount. No takers. Now I'm offering my portfolio to anyone who wants it. HNIF Nov 30, 20:06

Done and done. {nm} HNIF Dec 02, 01:22

is it too late? {nm} Docnasty Dec 12, 09:09

Do you ever drop and re-buy to grab the lower price? And how much lower? {nm} shadomoon Nov 29, 13:01

Why would you sell and re-buy and lose 2% commission? Or do you mean reshort? {nm} Antibody Nov 29, 13:40

Yes, re-short {nm} shadomoon Nov 29, 15:04

yes, this is good way to built a small port {nm} daveart Nov 29, 15:11

Back in the day, Delta House reshorted to generate cash for urgent purchases.Other than that it seems to make no sense. DTXbro Nov 29, 15:20

Reshorting... RazorHawk Nov 29, 16:48

Are you fully invested? Even that grooming factor seems weak if you have fallow cash. DTXbro Nov 30, 16:49

It's an easy way to check your port to see if the stocks have changed without having to look at the graph. If a stock seems to have minimal JDolphin Nov 30, 18:49

That is a lucid, intelligent, well-thought-out explanation. Thank you. {nm} DTXbro Dec 01, 06:51

Milestone: 6 billion...as always, thanks for all the help! {nm} tealfan Nov 28, 22:20

Nicely Done. San Jose Sharks shoot Pucks into the Penalty Box in Celebration. {nm} RotoHockey2013MainPort Nov 28, 22:52

Congrats mate! Nice work {nm} Wrath_crfd Nov 29, 03:54

Niiiice!! Slow down so the rest of us can catch you! :-) {nm} Flash Nov 29, 07:57

congrats {nm} oneman Nov 29, 08:16

Well done there. {nm} blaze223 Nov 29, 08:30

Congrats on the milestone {nm} Randy Nov 29, 11:25

Woo Hoo!! {nm} JDolphin Nov 30, 00:17

thanks everyone! {nm} tealfan Nov 30, 08:46

Is there a post explaining how someone could jump from $300M to $1B in 12 months? ITGeek Nov 27, 19:12

3 things that I try to hit each week MattW Nov 27, 20:35

Time is money. It's been my experience the more time I spend on HSX the more money I make. {nm} JDolphin Nov 27, 21:07

Oops, that was for ITGeek. You can often make as much money following stocks own as well as up. {nm} JDolphin Nov 27, 21:09

own = down {nm} JDolphin Nov 27, 21:09

As much? Way More - it's not even close. 96% of the ROTO 2014 Port is held in the SHORT Position. {nm} RotoHockey2013MainPort Nov 27, 23:52

I'm talking for people that aren't day traders {nm} JDolphin Nov 28, 12:30

Popular Misconception. The ROTO SHORT Strategy works best with Day-Trading & RESET Trading .... <INSIDE>. RotoHockey2013MainPort Nov 28, 16:39

Hasn't been my experience. I've tried holding movies short but they turn around and go back up when I'm not paying attention. I play this JDolphin Nov 28, 17:50

The short everything strategy works best (by far) only if you day/reset trade KaiGee Nov 28, 21:04

ROTO 2014 went from 2 MILL to 1.922 BILLION in 365 Days. 2 MILL to ONE (1) BILLION in 217 Days. <INSIDE>. RotoHockey2013MainPort Nov 27, 23:57

Since I believe you are mentioning my port, I will give best answer inside. TheTomAsta Nov 28, 04:44

Movie adjustment formulas? HotPant Nov 22, 11:10

moviestocks no longer halt and adjust {nm} islndr Nov 22, 12:04

To brag a bit, I shorted JLEAG on July 24th at H$321. MattW Nov 18, 23:13

Me too! JLEAG 99,232 short H$335.24 H$234.44 H$1.39 (-0.59%) H$43,269,047.78 10,002,548.85 (30.07%) {nm} Initech Nov 20, 07:08

You must have shorted way before me then if it was at 335. In other good news this is now my best week ever for this port ('16-17) Yay. {nm} MattW Nov 20, 21:11

I did a small short in 2016 @ 338 but the price never came down much so I forgot about it until Oct {nm} JDolphin Nov 20, 22:07

I have not been paying attention and just saw my JLEA2 has been hemorrhaging money for some time. Ouch. {nm} MiyazakiFan Nov 27, 09:36

HSX Funds Update (11/18/17) RazorHawk Nov 18, 14:26

RazorHawk, Many Thanks for the Data {nm} kibitzer Nov 19, 11:30

I'd love to take over the Horror Fund... Rish Outfield Nov 20, 16:37

Good Luck To Initech As His IPO "The Kids Fund" (KIDS) Is Now Available ! {nm} kibitzer Nov 14, 14:23

+1 pleasure to invest with such a dedicated manager & shrewd player. {nm} Qix Nov 14, 16:52

Thanks, this one should be fun. Funds are more challenging without adjusts, so no rocket to 100 this time. {nm} Initech Nov 15, 08:53

...but it's OK if you want to ROCKET it, to 100 quickly...we won't mind! :-) (Thanks for the efforts!) {nm} Flash Nov 15, 11:01

Fund is doing WONDE-rful so far :) {nm} Initech Nov 20, 07:53

Trend Lines Not Visible. MitchC Nov 12, 14:50

Look 2 threads down vvvvv -- same question, I think. {nm} edzep -- Port Monkey! Nov 12, 15:03

Why are superhero securities falling after what seemed a solid performance by THOR3? We don't understand comic book movie fans very well, DTXbro Nov 07, 13:23

You need to learn the difference between DC and Marvel properties {nm} JDolphin Nov 07, 13:49

Please explain. Which, for example, is a better bet on HSX, in your judgment? DTXbro Nov 07, 14:57

Quality is subjective. Not all comic movies are created equal. Or for you - Delta and Omega House are both college fraternities but JDolphin Nov 07, 20:38

Quality may be subjective, but 'which is better on HSX' not so much, right? DTXbro Nov 08, 07:18

the comic book movies decling are mostly DC movies (Warner Bros). But this some fanboyism that drives stocks up until reality hits {nm} JDolphin Nov 08, 14:02

Aagh - can't type today. Declining . There is some fanboyism {nm} JDolphin Nov 08, 14:05

I'd also submit that there are 10 superhero movies next year (11 if you count Incredibles 2). Can the theatrical market support that? Moviesnob Nov 07, 21:21

and the TV question really deserves its own thread {nm} Moviesnob Nov 07, 21:22

Based on their track history so far, I can safely wait for video/streaming for the DC ones. JLEAG ads have no appeal to me, but I loved THOR BSmurf Nov 08, 12:48

Why are there no graphs anymore? Very useful, those graphs! {nm} ladybegood Nov 05, 08:54

If you're referring to the graphs on individual stock pages, they are still there. {nm} Flash Nov 05, 14:01

Yes, individual stock graphs. They're still there for you? They disappeared a few days ago for me. Am now therefore flummoxed as to why? {nm} ladybegood Nov 05, 15:25

The graphs run thru Adobe Flash. So either that is broken or some browser updates are not running it properly or at all {nm} JDolphin Nov 05, 17:12

Latest Chrome update broke them - it doesn't even show the box where they should be {nm} warcraft86 Nov 07, 09:46

Thank you for that advice, JDolphin! Took a while but have just fixed the disabled flash for HSX anyway. Please see inside re how, if needed ladybegood Nov 07, 20:34

Ah that worked, thanks! {nm} warcraft86 Nov 09, 04:03

From a old computer illiterate player, thanks, your fix worked perfectly. {nm} tallbridge Nov 13, 00:02

Not sure who runs it, but the theun4gven HSX site seems to have stopped updating on 10/31 {nm} warcraft86 Nov 03, 07:09

I see there was a dead stretch (now shown in the graphs), but, it seems to be back to working. {nm} edzep -- Port Monkey! Nov 03, 14:28

I emailed them yesterday. And they fixed it. {nm} JDolphin Nov 03, 21:09

Thank you for referring to that site. Our days of buying singles to monitor movement are over. Thank you! DTXbro Nov 04, 09:23

RazorHawk: Hxsdude site is gone - 404 error {nm} JDolphin Nov 02, 21:36

RIP RazorHawk Nov 03, 06:34

18 days from your last TV Stock post. Which is what I was looking for. That's sad - but thanks for all the work. {nm} JDolphin Nov 03, 21:10

Thanks for all you did! {nm} tealfan Nov 04, 11:15

Ditto! {nm} tallbridge Nov 04, 11:54

It was a great run and helpful to many HSXers. Thank you for all of your input. {nm} Buy BONDS 28 Nov 05, 05:01

I would not be a billionaire today if not for your site, RazorHawk. Thanks. {nm} Rish Outfield Nov 12, 17:20

RazorHawk, I Miss Your Site. It Was Filled With Good Information And Humor! {nm} kibitzer Nov 14, 14:43
