Playing & Trading Strategy

Raising the share ceiling favors those already doing very well. Plus...

Posted by: DTravel on Feb 10, 13:18 in response to Alby's post Call to Raise the Share Limit on Movies

There are a lot of other things to invest in besides movies.

The "All In" buy every security at max shares price is around H$4 billion, which means only the top ~450 ports can't invest all their money.  Only a little over 100 ports are H$8 billion or more and therefore are forced to have more cash than investments.

Finally, even if HSX does raise the max shares on Moviestocks it isn't going to be to 1,000,000 shares.  125,000 or 150,000 is most likely IMO.

One million shares? R U nuts? {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 10, 08:05

If you could buy a million shares of RALP2.BW would you? {nm} ndmaster Feb 10, 14:27

I've always said it should be unlimited. The only thing limiting the number of shares you can purchase does is create inefficiencies ndmaster Feb 10, 14:26

What I really don't understand is that HSX wants the data to be as ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE. ndmaster Feb 10, 14:28

For this to happen, I think you’d have to have something like daily trading limits. RogerMore Feb 10, 15:39

You are missing the point. Your comment shows that you don't understand markets very well. ndmaster Feb 10, 20:26

What value is there in predicting the 12 week box office of a movie that’s already opened, and has grossed over $100M? RogerMore Feb 10, 21:01

An "unlimited" market with no genuine financial risk would seem to invite manipulation (but current limits seem stale) {nm} DTXbro Feb 13, 07:43

BWs are just a bonus so that traders can hold a major hit beyond 4 weeks. The price is not used as a predictive daa. {nm} Antibody Feb 11, 09:16

Any "solution" would be to take the H$Billions out of the game, not to generate even more H$Billions. {nm} Antibody Feb 11, 09:17

Just take the last three zeros from all accounts with more than a billion dollars! {nm} GruntNoNeck Feb 11, 09:35

Being a Billionaire is a lot of work to move the needle. I'm opting to just ride the interest rate yield. Alby Feb 12, 18:50

That you want to concentrate into fewer stocks is actually an arguments against raising the limit. Antibody Feb 13, 11:41

I'd rather have huge concentrated positons in a few stocks than spend a lifetime chasing nickels in a zillion stocks. Alby Feb 13, 20:44

Personally I disagree with that. That takes away much of the challenge and need to think about what to do. {nm} DTravel Feb 14, 11:05

There is merit to that claim, although the stakes of being right/wrong are much higher. Alby Feb 16, 11:10

Bring back the merchandise exchange -- still can't believe we didn't get the hat, mug, pen, etc. {nm} DTXbro Feb 13, 09:08
