Playing & Trading Strategy

Ahh yes the glory days.

Posted by: Mic_Lapwood on Feb 04, 15:38 in response to delfinasu's post 20 years and 3 days... and still enjoying playing. What's...

Firstly, starting off at 2m wasn't easy, had so much to consider back then, MUSIC STOCKS.. Holy crap.. ENough of that

My first big break was Holding Bad Boys from 11.06 cashing out at something like 120ish..(Took a few years) Putting it on passion of the Christ at 151 (Around Halt Price) and BOOM... Up 200 or something..

I still have stupidly old stocks that I havnt changed in nearly 20 years..
I'm a grinder.. I don't do the daily trade splash, so Ive progressively built it up to over 1b now.

GRITC 20,000 long H$22.87 H$110.38 H$0.85 (0.78%) H$2,207,600.00 1,750,200.00 (382.64%)

20 years and 3 days... and still enjoying playing. What's your best memories about HSX? {nm} delfinasu Jan 27, 01:10

HSX Orange {nm} KaiGee Jan 27, 04:58

Thanks for the laugh!! {nm} JDolphin Jan 27, 12:22

oh, you laugh. but some of us ... well .... {nm} pacrat Jan 27, 14:02

I can laugh now because I went thru it :) {nm} JDolphin Jan 28, 22:14

So, what was HSX Orange? {nm} PhoneHome Feb 05, 06:56

I can't seem to find a screenshot in archive.org...the 6/21/09 screenshot has original and then 6/29/09 it's already HSX Green?...anyone? tealfan Feb 05, 12:32

The site was basically done in "Halloween" colors...orange & black...the heading was black/orange along with other pages, posts, etc {nm} Flash Feb 05, 15:49

It didn't last long...lots of complaints, etc.. so eventually the colors were changed. {nm} Flash Feb 05, 15:50

It wasn't the colors. The damn site didn't work! {nm} ndmaster Feb 05, 19:22

Well...yes, THAT too. :-) But the colors were ugly as well..at least IMO... {nm} Flash Feb 06, 09:45

I actually liked the colors. But that was the only thing I liked about it. Trading was horrendous, i was all about posting and being social, JDolphin Feb 06, 21:28

IT was all about being social - not me (I), I hated that part. {nm} JDolphin Feb 07, 14:24

HSX Orange... RazorHawk Feb 05, 16:46

thx! {nm} tealfan Feb 05, 17:13

Wow, that's hilarious! Talk about misjudging the audience. Thanks for the info Razor! {nm} PhoneHome Feb 18, 08:09

When stocks halted, the prices were not even close to the huge adjust the next day if the movie opened big. :-) {nm} Flash Jan 27, 08:27

Yeah the big upward adjusts were fun bu the easy post-adjust shorts were nice {nm} MattW Feb 01, 13:04

*fun, and the easy post adjust shorts were nice too. Made things simpler to have that set adjust multi as a baseline after OW {nm} MattW Feb 01, 13:05

True, but back then you couldn't short - so you either held it or sold off, or you were sunk on big adjusts! :-) {nm} Flash Feb 02, 08:33

Ah, you meant the friday halt, that was before my time. MattW Feb 02, 15:41

watching the numbers keep going up and up the opening Friday night of AVNGR {nm} tealfan Jan 27, 09:06

PASON and SHREK ndmaster Jan 27, 11:11

i remember PASON and blair witch project were both much bigger adjusts than just about anyone expected {nm} pacrat Jan 27, 14:03

Increasing my port from 60M to 90M in 1 weekend due to DEADP. Thank you RREYN. {nm} Grunt Jan 27, 14:08

HOLY CRAP... you made me look and I see I"ve been on here for 23 years.... geez... {nm} KLB Jan 28, 15:48

I guess you're the geezer of the group...you even got me beat by a few months!! :-) {nm} Flash Jan 28, 16:51

Ahh yes the glory days. Mic_Lapwood Feb 04, 15:38

I REMEMBER... RazorHawk Feb 04, 16:51

I just sold my port a couple summers ago on Ebay... ndmaster Feb 04, 18:58

How much was in the Portfolio, and how much did you get for it? {nm} Mic_Lapwood Feb 05, 04:48

Portfolio ndmaster Feb 05, 11:51

Was that HSX Minute sponsored by HSX, cease-and-desisted by HSX, or what? Did any of the HSX Minutes ever go beyond SenJohnBlutarsky Feb 05, 12:02

HSX Minute was from HSX Orange....which lasted 2 weeks before being taken down {nm} RazorHawk Feb 05, 16:31

when I figured out html for your handle and the boards were full of color {nm} KaiGee Feb 12, 19:02
