When I first started playing, halts happened on Saturdays....

Posted by: Flash on Aug 19, 07:44 in response to Telly's post but doesnt that defeat the purpose of the game? i mean,...

The computer system they used did not halt stocks on Fridays, only AFTER the numbers came out.Ā  So we could log in, see how a movie did, and then either HOLD onto the stock if it did well, or SELL it, since in those days we couldn't short stocks.

when does trading on a stock close? how come this weekends releases are still trading? thanks. {nm} Telly Aug 18, 14:48

Click on News & Events - Click on Market Calendar - Scroll down to Saturday, August 18 to see Halt Times. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Aug 18, 15:04

Opening Weekend Halt Times - Saturday 6 PM PST. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Aug 18, 15:05

did it used to be fridays? sorry havent really played much in a few years. {nm} Telly Aug 18, 15:40

Yes, but now we have the OW derivatives (they do halt on friday), with the moviestock staying active until saturday 6 pm... {nm} slappydavid Aug 18, 15:54

but doesnt that defeat the purpose of the game? i mean, we basically know what to do just before it halts based on friday numbers. {nm} Telly Aug 18, 15:56

I'm sure HSX is happy with all that saturday traffic... {nm} slappydavid Aug 18, 18:58

Even that late it's not a sure thing. Look at what happened to BORN4 last week. {nm} elchan Aug 18, 19:04

i think we lose all the fun this way, but ok. {nm} Telly Aug 18, 19:54

you're not alone in that sentiment, lots of discussion when it first changed {nm} tealfan Aug 18, 21:40

Such a bummer. I think I'm out. I just can't see any fun in playing a prediction game, when there's no real predicting. Adios HSX! {nm} Telly Aug 19, 13:33

I tend to disagree. Prediction involves coming to a conclusion based on information. Without information, they 'predictions' are guesses. elchan Aug 19, 15:18

you get "information" from the day it' {nm} Telly Aug 19, 20:40

oops, posted before finishing. I was saying, you get "information" from the day it's listed on HSX, do you really need it up to ... Telly Aug 19, 20:41
