Playing & Trading Strategy

Is buying calls the same as shorting puts? What's the difference, if any? {nm} wtroyw Dec 27, 11:24

Big difference parthm_ Dec 27, 13:31

What's the highest a Studio Fund has ever delisted to anyone's memory? Asking for a friend...{nm} DISNXFund Dec 24, 16:35

perfect storm of movies for one fund. (The perfect storm not included.) {nm} PARAX Fund Dec 26, 09:39

FOXX in 2016 was over $150 {nm} ndmaster Dec 26, 22:38

STAR8 box office guess MattW Dec 21, 18:15

is there any way, apart from posting here in the forum, to send a message to other players more directly? pacrat Dec 21, 11:03

Nope, no private message system on HSX {nm} DTravel Dec 21, 12:41

That was the ONE good thing about the HSX "orange" experiment. edzep -- Port Monkey! Dec 21, 16:59

What's worse than Loathed {nm} JDolphin Dec 21, 18:11

This is HSX Orange... schmoozing; helper monkeys; food chain... RazorHawk Dec 21, 18:39

Create a private league and ask someone to join. Messages are only visible to group members. {nm} MattW Dec 21, 18:08

Can't recall the formula for Wed-Sun 183Phi Dec 19, 16:42

There are no more weekend adjusts so no more weekend multipliers. {nm} DTravel Dec 19, 16:59

Got it. Thanks! {nm} 183Phi Dec 19, 19:32

So the Family Business Fund went over $100 a few days ago and has now slipped back what's the protocol? {nm} blaze223 Dec 19, 03:52

Delisted, thanks. {nm} Antibody Dec 19, 12:06

Well that was anti climatic.....bye all {nm} Family Business Fund Dec 21, 13:48

Question on JEPR3 dubord.s Dec 16, 19:45

Gross only shows up on stock page if it’s reported to ERC, which jepr3 hasn’t. Antibody can use the BOM number for cash out though {nm} islndr Dec 17, 03:49

Can someone please post the link to the unforgiven page that shows intraday stock movement? {nm} KidsFund Dec 15, 19:34

too late to qualify? {nm} tealfan Dec 14, 12:04

Seriously? {nm} mrbinns Dec 15, 14:54

yeah I'm serious...these various award shows don't always follow a calendar year do they? {nm} tealfan Dec 15, 16:23

Oscar follows the calendar year. {nm} warcraft86 Dec 15, 19:42

Are there ghost/zombie ports not counted in rankings but nonethless maintained as holding assets? DTXbro Dec 11, 08:39

Firefox 57 and scripting (Port Monkey, Chimp, etc) edzep -- Port Monkey! Dec 05, 18:38

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

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
