HOLLYWOOD STOCK EXCHANGE

THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
elchan, there have been FAQs and tutorials put out by players on pretty much all aspects of HSX. There used to be a half dozen websites
that were all about the game, in fact. Unfortunately, most of them have shuttered, with the last remaining vestige for hints and tips being Razorhawk's lovely site.
And here on the boards, multiple players have given tutorials and advice on how to play the game, but there is not "sticky" ability to pin those posts persistently (hooray for consonance!) to the top of the forums. It's not that we are unhelpful. We can be curmudgeonly and snarky, but many of us love to show off our knowledge and help others. It's just that, sometimes, noobs can jump right in to posting here and be very strong-minded and enthusiastic as you have been, in a manner that is kinda jarring. We welcome idiosyncratic people and posters, but it's nice if noobs get a feel for the place and "learn" how to ask questions and seek information in such a way that doesn't break the unwritten rules. And how to know what those rules are? Observe, learn, ask questions.
With so many billionaires, and near billionaires in this game, do little investors like myself really affect the game? {nm} Jun 06, 13:55
Yes, because billionaires cannot buy more shares of a stock than you can. {nm} Jun 06, 14:02
Yes.. But they cannot affect individual stock movement more than you.. and you play "short" OR "long" not simultaneously {nm} Jun 06, 16:47
You can play short AND long. For instance I feel that MADG3 is too low, so play long and if I feel that MADG3 will take a bite Jun 06, 17:44
? Jun 06, 17:56
Yes, sometimes, I scare myself. Here's the logic: Jun 06, 18:09
But they aren't dependent on each other like that. You're returning to your zero-sum supposition, which doesn't hold here. Jun 06, 18:23
There's definitely a correlation in gross for a weekend between the grosses of movies opening the same weekend. Jun 06, 18:34
This is true. And I would take that approach in real life, since I want to be efficient and get my job done quickly. Jun 07, 06:59
lot of jumps in logic Jun 06, 18:26
Wish it was all logic based, but we're talking consumer behaviour, and statistical analysis... Jun 06, 18:49
see, that's where you always sound like such a noob Jun 06, 19:00
But I am a noob, not trying to hide anything. What about the post-AVNGR slump? Jun 06, 19:18
*banging head on desk* {nm} Jun 06, 19:55
Please, no need to hurt yourself over me. ;-) {nm} Jun 06, 20:10
I'd argue the point but its kind of pointless Jun 06, 23:56
elchan, there have been FAQs and tutorials put out by players on pretty much all aspects of HSX. There used to be a half dozen websites Jun 07, 07:05
Thought that was what I was doing, asking question, through out some ideas, getting responses. Jun 07, 07:58
it only happens when someone doesn't honestly have a question Jun 07, 09:55
Not to belabor a point, but stock performances are not linked in a zero sum fashion... even if you think they are. Jun 07, 10:21
I promise you that unless they inherited a port, every billionaire started off with a $2M just like you did. Jun 06, 14:04
Every investor is sacred, every investor is great Jun 06, 14:13
I know I am, but my who portfolio is probably what you would commission on a trade. ;-) {nm} Jun 06, 15:20
Must be late on my payments, my ISP is skipping words and letters. {nm} Jun 06, 15:34
That was a beautiful sentence. :) {nm} Jun 06, 17:36
Duh, henglish, I lern good time. {nm} Jun 06, 18:13
Easy for you to say. {nm} Jun 06, 17:40
