When did free commission Sundays end? mwwhsugar Mar 19, 08:03

It ended a few years ago. Also, no adjusts on Sundays any longer for openers, market forces only affect prices... {nm} =Flash Mar 19, 08:25

Commission free days ended before I joined HSX, so I'd say a _little_ bit more than "a few years ago". DTravel Mar 19, 10:31

When you've been here as long as I have...6-7 years is still just a "few" years to us. {nm} =Flash Mar 19, 13:52

Okay, old man. :P {nm} DTravel Mar 19, 21:22

9/22/09 Announcement... RazorHawk Mar 19, 12:42

Thanks! It was a long time ago! {nm} mwwhsugar Mar 23, 18:01

Thanks, would be good to see the "free trades" incentive via "Earn H$" back in play (assuming it actually launched). {nm} Qix Mar 26, 20:25

Hello mates - when is daily interest credited to your account. I don't ever see it in my 30 day bank history ? {nm} montgomer174 Mar 19, 03:39

every night at reset {nm} RazorHawk Mar 19, 05:42

And the credit doesn't show up anywhere that I've ever seen. Just the how much you will get in your Portfolio page. {nm} DTravel Mar 19, 10:33

it gets added to your cash at reset and should immediately change your "today's change" RazorHawk Mar 19, 10:43

That is probably why I never noticed it, I usually don't have enough cash to generate enough interest to notice among everything else. {nm} DTravel Mar 19, 13:29

Here is an example... RazorHawk Mar 20, 04:40

1200 Moviestocks (majority short), 350 Starbonds, all Funds, whatever Derivitives edzep Mar 16, 13:26

Yes, should have added same basic thing re: funds & derivatives {nm} Dales Mar 16, 13:28

I don't follow rules. Dales Mar 16, 13:28

Just about 60/40 (1150 movies vs. 850 starbonds) plus another 46 assorted derivatives FWIW {nm} gsquared Mar 16, 13:50

1/4 of my securities are just 1 share - 658 movies 978 bonds {nm} JDolphin Mar 16, 14:09

It's the luxury of having excess cash. If you think it will be a good investment short or long, just pull the trigger. If it doesn't work ndmaster Mar 16, 22:18

Thanks guys, appreciate the input...seems like I'm about average with some of you... {nm} =Flash Mar 17, 07:49

Interest Rate Hike - It is a Mistake! nordane Mar 16, 10:14

1% per year, not 1% per day. Dbot1800 Mar 16, 10:39

lol smh {nm} adrenalin112 Mar 16, 13:09

Yeah, I know it is an annual rate. But, I have a lot of cash (a lot of cash), {nm} nordane Mar 16, 16:20

So? 412 other players likely have more cash than you. ndmaster Mar 16, 22:16

More than that I suspect. The most successful accounts seem to follow an aggressive short strategy and probably are holding a ton of cash. nordane Mar 17, 09:07

Well, to make the interest rate relevant versus stagnant, many years ago, they decided to follow the Fed Funds rate. ndmaster Mar 17, 19:05

the interest rate at HSX is tied to the fed rate, and 1% provides zero incentive for me not to invest my money in stocks {nm} lapuckfan Mar 17, 14:12

Just have 1.5 billion cash in the bank. You earning 45k a day. A good retirement for you. mike255 Mar 19, 08:24

That grid you posted inside the message is cool. Is it from a private spreadsheet or is there a way for anyone to see their progress? {nm} tomcat90 Mar 09, 18:31

Private spreadsheet, unfortunately. There was a graph somewhere that you could see progress but not that far back. {nm} cmbastos Mar 10, 07:37

If you are in the top 10,000 - you can see a graph on KaiGee's site (link) JDolphin Mar 10, 13:18

when is the LaLa Land blockbuster warrent supposed to delist? beingspiteful Mar 08, 20:01

Set for 12 Weekends of Box Office in Wide Release. March 13, 2017 - It's Missing from the Market Calendar. RotoHockey2013MainPort Mar 08, 20:40

looks like it's been fixed? i looked on the calendar and it's there. if i'm reading it right ... Doxie-Pup Mar 10, 10:24

Yes - it should be abt 28 dollar profit (depending in this weekends box offce). So at 20,000 shares - 560,000 {nm} JDolphin Mar 10, 13:27

Do Starwars, Jurassic World and X-men movies really belong in the ANIMATION FUND portfolio ? {nm} JMT-NL Mar 06, 00:20

Completely CGI characters qualify a moviestock to be held by the fund. So that would account for SWAR2. RogerMore Mar 06, 06:02

X-Men: Supernova and Jurassic World do not qualify for this fund (Animation Fund) and it should not be holding them {nm} RazorHawk Mar 06, 08:14

There is a full CG scene of Quicksilver in X-Men Apocalypse. {nm} HSXiphos Mar 07, 06:16

*partially CG character like The Amazing Spider-Man do not qualify. Quicksilver is played by non-CG EPETE. {nm} Antibody Mar 07, 10:11

can you please correct this... the fund has made about 4 mill this week holding a stock that you have agreed does not qualify. {nm} RazorHawk Mar 07, 14:20

I thought Animation is Cartoon movies? {nm} mike255 Mar 07, 20:41

Random Capitalization... you messed up again {nm} RazorHawk Mar 08, 05:00

Follow up Q Nigel_Ray Mar 02, 15:41

You could lose money. If you short a $20 movie call at $5 and it makes 27 then you lose 2 {nm} JDolphin Mar 02, 15:48

Ahhh!! Thanks for the replies gents! {nm} Nigel_Ray Mar 02, 16:15

And if it makes 37 in that scenario, then you lose $12...on a $5 investment shadowking Mar 02, 18:19
