HOLLYWOOD STOCK EXCHANGE
THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
Well, you can look at HSX two ways...
You can decide that HSX is here for your enjoyment, you can play, trade, buy or sell, short or long and enjoy the game and work to build your port.
or...
You can think that the game is rigged against you by other players with huge ports, so there's no need to buy or short anything since the players with big ports are controlling the game. But, you can also use that to your advantage.
Personally, I short many stocks - not cause I'm thinking 1,000 other players are, but because I think the price will go down. When I started playing, we couldn't short stocks, so you had to sell off a movie stock if you thought it would drop in price.. today you can make $$ if stocks go up - or go down in value.
My original post is still good advice...play the game your own way. Don't worry about what other players are doing. If you see a stock dropping in value and you think it will continue - short it. If you see it going up in value and continue, buy it... you can make $$ either way. If other players (as you say) are affecting the value of a stock - play it the way you think will make you $$...
Many players here also "play the players"...meaning if there is news about a movie, they buy that stock, or they short it if it's bad news, they make some quick $$, and then may sell it off or cover it and move on.
Make your own decisions based on your gut feeling, take the profits when you are right, take the lumps (as I do so often) when you decide the wrong way... again, repeat after me: "It's only play money, it's only play money."
Just enjoy the game for what it is... 
StudioFunds...already down in just 1 day! (Here we go again) Sep 09, 04:23
Rather than trying to figure out a "system" why not play the game and just enjoy it? Sep 09, 07:56
I appreciate your input, but I believe there's some things you should know... Sep 10, 06:25
Well, you can look at HSX two ways... Sep 10, 08:32

Thanks, Flash! (Others should take notes on how well you respond to others...You're an inspiration to us all!) Sep 10, 10:52
You need to learn how to play the game... Sep 09, 10:29
RazorHawk, honestly, I actually do want to be happy, but... Sep 10, 06:01
I want to help you... Sep 10, 09:40
I no longer want to help you. Please ignore my previous posting. {nm} Sep 10, 13:39
A $9,000 loss is trivial and it is well known that funds usually dip slightly on their first days because of commissions. Sep 09, 10:30
Thanks for the feedback but hold on just a moment... Sep 10, 05:46
WRONG!!!!! Sep 10, 09:22
RazorHawk, I am not "WRONG": Posted (inside) is the exact words I replied when you responded "WRONG!!!!!!" Sep 10, 11:03
Ok... I am finished with you... bye. {nm} Sep 10, 11:51
Ok... I am finished with you... bye. {nm} Sep 10, 11:51
He's right though. You are completely and utterly wrong about how funds work. Sep 10, 12:02
Wow...You can dish it--but you sure can't take it! Sep 10, 16:26
Please just answer this question for me Sep 10, 16:38
Actually, I have... Sep 10, 17:01
Actually, I myself was one of the people who answered your question earlier Sep 10, 17:15
All right, Case in point: I concede the point you made! (aka You're right) {nm} Sep 10, 18:16
Aaaaaand the apology proves to be worthless! *Shocking* learn the game. Sep 10, 01:04
Aaaaaand again...Cruelty before considerations: Before this year, I never had these funds lose money Sep 10, 05:25
This is a terrible comparison {nm} Sep 10, 12:04
You are comparing a year's worth of growth to one day's worth of hits from commission Sep 10, 12:05
I don't understand how you don't understand. Sep 10, 05:10
Actually, yes...and connections to REAL LIFE have been a major point of mine as of late! Sep 10, 05:42
Oh brother. It's time to hang it up my man... Sep 10, 06:20
Here's a list of 142 Starbonds that have adjusted down more than H$10 since Jan 2014 - so yes were "magically lucky" Sep 10, 16:17
There were also another 1538 bonds that dropped less that H$10. So of the 3930 bonds I tracked 42% were short. {nm} Sep 10, 16:28
Yes I like messing with Excel spreadsheets. That's fun for me. {nm} Sep 10, 16:28
Thanks...but you obviously have WAY too much free time on your hands! {nm} Sep 10, 17:08
Funds are NOT a quick and clear way of making $H Sep 11, 15:21
