Playing & Trading Strategy

ATTENTION PVLers: I will be out of town again during end month victory declarations. Late publishing of winners may occur. Rocket123 aka PVL Admin May 28, 14:00

BTW what happened to the Fund Manager's League? {nm} RogerMore May 28, 15:36

It was disbanded because Rocket123 is going to be too busy to manage a fund or the fund managers' league. Awards Fund May 28, 17:14

OK. Thanks for managing it, sorry it won't be continuing. {nm} RogerMore May 28, 21:14

XMEN6 short or long ? {nm} iagommc May 27, 00:54

Check out the 'Movie Board' in a few hours for the 'OW Gut Check.' {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 27, 02:20

Short. Gonna delist under 150 easy MattW May 28, 20:02

No X-Men movie has delisted above its adjust price. The best performer was XMEN4, which delisted at 89.3% of its adjust. {nm} RogerMore May 30, 07:45

Investors in the fund , take note..: we did great on all openers ( Alice and x-men ) but Sold all today. SequelsFund May 25, 10:14

StarBonds Adjust Was (Were) Exhausting! Learn to Love Carpal Tunnel! {nm} ChifferBrane May 24, 12:10

Yeah but it's all gravy :) {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 24, 13:44

It's really quite easy, and fast... edzep - Port Monkey! May 25, 07:13

Without Razor or your tools, It only took me about 10 minutes to make all of my trades. FOXX Fund May 25, 21:16

Still Not Getting TAGs and Starbonds MstrChapl May 24, 10:38

Green = buy; Red = short. {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 24, 10:40

It's not quite that simple. {nm} bpmetz May 24, 11:36

It's not quite that simple. bpmetz May 24, 11:38

It IS that simple. He was advised to buy/short on a Monday the following days most profitable adjusts as indicated on 'How Profitable'.... hyperzeitgeist May 24, 12:02

You all have been awesome. Thank you. {nm} MstrChapl May 24, 21:00

You don't just buy Bonds long, some of the best money is the ones you short (usually when a blockbuster movie drops off the tag) {nm} JDolphin May 24, 13:51

Maybe you should learn a little more about how Star Bonds are calculated (links inside) JDolphin May 24, 13:58

Not sure why that came out all in caps, but those are clickable links {nm} JDolphin May 24, 14:00

The Wise and Kind Soul Who Suggested Certain Star Bonds, Stipulated THat The Adjust Date=05-31-16 {nm} kibitzer May 26, 16:17

Congrats! Now you can buy more stock. Don't let your cash sit idle. {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 24, 01:55

well jaymel May 24, 07:32

Fair enough. Whatever floats your boat :) {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 24, 08:02

To each his own, but If you don't play openers, you are missing out on ONE of the fastest ways to grow your port. {nm} Flash May 24, 09:35

Awesome {nm} DiNar0 May 24, 10:27

Nicely Done. {nm} RotoHockey2013Main Port May 23, 16:44

You started HSX 10 days before me in 1998...welcome back & kudos for the milestone!! {nm} Flash May 24, 09:37

Awesome {nm} DiNar0 May 24, 10:27

UNIVX is holding Neighbors and it's derivatives correctly. Free money coming soon. {nm} Initech May 20, 13:30

Free money is always good :) {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 21, 02:00

As is SEQUELS :-) {nm} SequelsFund May 21, 23:47

Yay, more free money :) {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 22, 08:17

I too am holding them, and UNIVX and SEQUELS, correctly. TheEradicator May 23, 00:12

Are you holding CANUK fund {nm} oneman May 23, 09:30

Yep. So it looks like there's that as well ... {nm} TheEradicator May 23, 12:44

UNIVX droi for month of May jumped from 0.33% to 0.62% in a day yesterday, nice one! {nm} Wrath_crfd May 23, 06:18

Free is For Me, and I'll Take Three {nm} ChifferBrane May 23, 06:18

Arrgh - another laugh at me - just realized late last night I sold the NEIB2 Put instead of the Call - bye bye nice profits:( {nm} JDolphin May 20, 12:29

Please laugh at me. I've been hovering around $20M for a while now. Can't get out of the hole. Couldn't figure out why I kept going down.... MstrChapl May 19, 13:14

well, now you'll never forget them...hehe :D {nm} tealfan May 19, 15:04

Shorting $2 IPOs drakkar May 24, 06:45

I did the same thing at 5million I was stuck there for about a month since I did lots of trade chasing... {nm} Baron_Darcon May 20, 04:02

If you have a small port, you have to look at short term gains to build your port up. If you do regular trading, you might make more money JDolphin May 20, 12:04

KaiGee: I seem to have disappeared off the 10K Player Gains chart! {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 19, 06:15

Appears only to have collated the first 800. {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 19, 06:31

Yeah I'm not on there either. I think we were exiled from HSX. {nm} Quickslver99 May 19, 06:47

script to pull data must have hung, I'll try to run it again {nm} KaiGee May 19, 13:27

Seems fine now, thanks :) {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 19, 16:35

thank god, my entire goal for the past year has been to break into the 10k ranks on the leaderboard so I can pull up my profile on kaigee. {nm} Exogen May 22, 14:04

What is the adjustment multiplier for a Friday - Monday opening weekend? {nm} the_treachery_of_images May 18, 17:40

you can find that (and tons of other info) at the Glossary link at the bottom of most every page...in the Glossary look under "Adjust Price" {nm} tealfan May 18, 20:21

It has been 6 months since grory has made a trade .... goodbye RazorHawk May 17, 13:23

5 months. {nm} ndmaster May 17, 14:04

Failure by the troll again, maybe the young lady has greater priorities. {nm} blaze223 May 18, 05:15

Sorry ND that was supposed to be a reply to Mike. {nm} blaze223 May 18, 05:16

Poor guy. {nm} mike255 May 18, 03:20

Being almost $3B ahead of #2, I think she can afford some time off. :-) {nm} Flash May 18, 09:56

And made 385m without trading at all. Not too shabby {nm} MattW May 18, 11:12

that leaves the door wide open for the #2 guy to become #1. A year from now :) T minus 365... {nm} Oleg Max May 18, 16:25

that's how good of a trader she was... she stops all trading and it takes a year and a half for somebody to catch up to her RazorHawk May 18, 17:04

made most of her money back when this game was harder too {nm} islander May 18, 17:49

+1 {nm} DiNar0 May 19, 09:44

How much harder was it would you say? And is that mostly because of the 50k limit on shares or other things as well {nm} MattW May 21, 00:39

right, shares are a big one (at 100K, its twice as easy to make $). also, the openers are easy now, and were a challenge before when youd islander May 23, 12:50

The queen is dead, long live the king! {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 19, 06:27

A "Settled" Trading Market Today? ChifferBrane May 17, 08:02

here is a list of the movies that have had the most movement today... RazorHawk May 17, 08:10

Yup. Well, Looks like I'm Simply Wrong Place Wrong Time Today {nm} ChifferBrane May 17, 08:29

just as i thought i figured it out, it doesn't work that way? Boomod May 16, 20:48

The Put was priced at 1.05 before delist so if you shorted 20,000 - then you should have received 21,000. If that's not correct, then post JDolphin May 16, 22:44

nuts Boomod May 17, 05:51

MILESTONE Top 1000 yeah baby {nm} Quickslver99 May 14, 10:39

No need to fear. If you take out the hump you're still on the same long-term trajectory. {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 13, 04:55
